Has anyone successfully modded the power button on the M1? I keep drooling over this mod as I much prefer white led's, but he never released any how-to's beyond an electrical chart I can't understand: http://oliver.st/blog/ncase-m1/
Thx! Indeed, yours looks better!

Been very happy with the Transcend USB3 card reader. My SD cards are not the fastest around, maybe "80mb/sec" theoretical Samsung pro, but I do get around the 30-45mb/sec mark (if i remember correctly) which is very decent. Not sure if thats card limited, or reader limited. For the price, very happy with its performance.
This is the smaller one with a USB cap, available in white and black gloss, and does both SD and microSD. Transcend RDF5 i think is the item code.
I have the Asrock Z87EITX Mobo, and it fits perfectly into the space under my top panel, wedged under the Noctua C14 115x mounting bracket. Alternatively, I think that using the appropriately sized double sided mounting tape, it can be mounted in the area where the CD drive is, and you can "slot load" your SD card into the CD slot and into the reader. You will need to make up your own internal USB3 header cable, but could be a neat addition if you want integration and don't use the CD slot for a CD drive (Doesn't interfere with the 2.5" drive bay)
Heres a photo of it in-situ. Please excuse the dust as this photo was taken rather quickly with the phone camera flash and without any consideration for cleaning up.

For a dual AIO set up, do both the Gigabyte or ASrock Gaming Z170 work? And does the RAM need to be low-profile?
Thanks

I finished up my NCASE build a couple days ago:
NCASE M1 v4
ASRock X99E-ITX/ac
Core i7 5820K
Asus GTX 960 Mini
Samsung 500GB 850 EVO
Silverstone SX500-LG
Corsair LPX 2 x 8GB DDR4 2666MHz
Noctua C14 w/ P14 140mm fan on top, P12 120mm fan on bottom
Build is running nicely so far, save for one minor annoyance. I'm noticing a high pitched noise, almost like high frequency electronic switching. It only occurs after I wake the computer from sleep, or power it on, for 10-20 minutes. After things have warmed up, it goes away.
Sure it is not related to the fan control of the PSU. The Silverstone SFX PSUs have had a few issues.
Well done, I'm interested how it performs ! Be sure to test it with the fan reversed too !I've also just completed (*nearly*) a build. Part of it included designing a fan duct for the bottom intake to the graphics card, which I have no idea if is worth the effort but I'll get some test result temps with and without the duct later.
Hello world !
After month of reading this topic lurking in the shadows, I finally chose every component for my Ncase that I would like to share with you :
NCASE M1 v3
Silverstone SX500-LG
GIGABYTE GA-Z170N-WiFi, Intel Z170
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 2x 8GB DDR4, PC4-24000 (3000MHz) CL15
Core i7 6700K
Noctua C14 w/ P14 140mm fan on top, P12 120mm fan on bottom
Samsung 500GB 850 EVO
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Panasonic UJ-265 BDRIP
and still looking at the complementary fans needed for the case.
Any advise/warning with such a configuration?
Also, the SX500-LG sounds a bit annoying when stressing the GPU, a whine/buzz and a tick from the fan. I'm sure this has been gone into on the board somewhere I just haven't read through it all yet.
Just to let spixel know: this really seems to be a case-by-case issue. I don't have any problems any at all with mine running a Xeon E3-1231 with a GTX 760 ITX.Also, the SX500-LG sounds a bit annoying when stressing the GPU, a whine/buzz and a tick from the fan. I'm sure this has been gone into on the board somewhere I just haven't read through it all yet.
so, after a long time, it finally happened. my computer shutdown by itself while it was sleep and never woke up again. previously, i could turn it back on after a random shutdown by leaving it disconnected for a while, or by pressing the Clear CMOS button, or by pressing the power button (cold start). but this time, it seems like it's completely dead. i guess it was bound to happen, given my history with this computer.
it's the motherboard. there are various reviews on Newegg about this ASRock board, and specifically, there is one with the exact symptoms that i have seen from mine. i'll send the board to ASRock for warranty, but given its age and the fact that it's out of production, i'll be receiving a refurbished board, it any! and it'll most probably fail one way or another.
now my question: is there a ITX board with an mSATA connector? i have one mSATA drive that i've been using with my ASRock Z87 board, and i have stuff on it that i don't want to lose. i'd like to get a new(er) ITX board with mSATA. do they make those anymore?
Well it's a basic mouse-supporting one, nothing too fancy, but you've got all the options you could wish for. You can over- and under-volt the CPU and RAM, over- and underclock both the CPU and the CPUs internal GPU seperately, you have access to the TDP limit for the CPUs Boost cycles, the boost multiplactors and everything. Not sure whether the multiplicator overclock would actually work with my 4770T, but it's there and it's not greyed out.
You can't set completely custom fan curves, but you can set how much the fan speed is increased per C°. Both fan headers seem to be PWM controlled. The orange LEDs on the back of the board can be turned off or can be set to be always on as opposed to pulsing, which is the standard for whatever reason.
Hey guys,
Is there a recommended/preferred PCI-E x16 flexible adapter for the ncase M1?
I am looking at getting the Dark Rock TF but in order to fit the HDD cage, the pipes need to be pointing down. A redditor posted detailed photos of this pushing against the GPU which ended up causing issues with the mobo. Since we have a 3rd expansion slot, I was thinking about a flexible adapter that gives me one extra slot for spacing. This should also give more room for the SFX-L PSUs!
Thoughts? Is this possible?
Any pics of this installed?...and the low profile USB3 header adapter *just* arrived
fan duct version 2 prototype:
Well done, I'm interested how it performs ! Be sure to test it with the fan reversed too !
Very nice. Hard to get a decent looking duct. What materials did you use?
Just a logitech mouse box, clear plastic manilla folder and hot glue :/ I only want to perform some tests to see if it's beneficial at all.
Annnnnddddd.....it's not. (Well, it's not when stressing just the GPU, I haven't tested stressing just the CPU)
I ran 2x 15 minute stints of FurMark and monitored the temps with AIDA64. With the fan duct in, the GPU maxed out at 73deg (fan 60%) and motherboard at 55deg. With the fan duct removed, the GPU maxed out at 73deg (fan 58%) but stayed at 72deg for longer periods and was only fluctuating up to 73deg every now and then, the motherboard also reached 55deg but it took a few more mins to get there. I think getting a better case airflow going to keep the motherboard temps town will be beneficial for the GPU temps. I have the CPU (C14 cooler) fan at 770rpm (using the ULNA cable).
This is pure speculation of course. But results in hand it kind of seems logical.
Anyway. This is all a good addition to the general understanding of what works and what doesn't work so it wasn't a waste. Thanks for sharing.
