Good news, first AM4 itx board announced.

That is very similar to my build, except I went with the D9L. I agree with you that I don't think there is a significat difference.
Out of curiosity, why are you putting the m.2 under the heatsink and not on the back of the board? I know with other boards (See here) the heatsink actually trapped heat instead of dissipating it). I really should test my m.2 on the back and under the heatsink to see what resultst I get.
I think most people actually have all fans, including the rear NF-A9, acting as intake (at least that's how I have mine).
I went with under the heatsink, since the Asus version is much more substantial than the MSI heatsink (and the bottom also connects to part of the heatsink as well). Plus, in the vertical orientation, the fan for the U9S is just above the heatsink, so it will give some flow there.
However, I've run into a problem. There isn't room for the fan on top of the heatsink. The end of the power cable extender gets in the way by just a hair and I can't get the fan in position. If the power connecter was mounted at the top of where it could fit, then it would work. I'm not sure how the people that have that same build actually got their fan in, unless their CPU socket is just a little bit lower. So, I'll either need to get a thin 92mm fan for the top, switch the vertical orientation of the heatsink (basically running it backwards, but then I lost the m.2 heatsink flow), or turn it to horizontal (which of course means more work).

Yeah, actually a NH-F15, so 140mm+.If I'm not mistaken you are planning on having a 120mm intake fan on the right side of the side bracket. That should give you plenty of airflow to the motherboard and the M.2, you don't need hurricane force.
Have you tried moving the internal AC power cable from the middle position to the corner position by swapping it with the small engraved plate?
Edit: and just to add the knowledge base, the builds that I saw with the vertical orientation seemed to have the NH-U9B SE2 heatsink rather than the NH-U9S. The total size is the same between them with two fans, but the offset is different -- the U9B SE2 is centered over the socket while the U9S is offset. This puts the U9S up higher in the chassis and into the power cable area.
Since you are going for a vertical air path, could you rotate the NH-U9S by 180 degrees so that the offset of the heatsink shifts it towards the graphics card instead?
This might place it too close to the card, in which case you may need to consider using the horizontal airflow orientation.
Thanks brother, the curse of browsing this site on mobile is I can't read sigs. lol. I told my body I was done with the ncase, but I might be crawling back.
I am and have been a C14 user with the ncase. Now that I am using the Z270i I want to know if this Thermalright AXP-140 is a possibility. Here we are confronted again by the concern of the Z270i shield that covers the rear:
See this pic from earlier in the thread of the way the C14 makes contact with the shield:
And then see here how the Thermalright AXP-140 goes over to the side (below). The space is obviously concerning, but would the AXP-140 mount in a different orientation yielding success? or would it bother the shield? What do you guys think?
Has anyone pulled the trigger on a 1080Ti yet? I'm slowly accumulating all of my parts and am planning a full loop. I am willing to wait for non-reference design waterblocks to be released if necessary. Right now, my understanding is that the Titan XP block will work on the 1080Ti - should I just go ahead and get the Founders Edition and watercool it? Or wait for a Seahawk or Hydrocopper variant?
Wanted to share my NCASE with tempered glass window build:

Happy to answer questions!
Nice build pslate, thanks for posting up the specifics of your build. I'm actually going for something really similar in terms of cable management. My cable orientation will be pretty much the same except for the PCI-E, which will be routed behind the back plate, as opposed to under the graphics card.
What do you think these cable legnths?
Thanks!
- 150mm extension + 50mm shorty = 200mm 24pin
- 350mm extension + 50mm shorty = 400mm CPU
- 100/150mm extension + 50mm shorty = 150/200mm PCIe
the Seahawk will be much too wide for the Ncase

It does fit according to the following link of the very first post:
Of course, it'll be best to compare the dimensions of the 1080ti Sea hawk with the 1080 Sea hawk prior to purchase.
he was talking about the Seahawk EK which is 6.5" wide.
Man they made it so ugly! Geez. I mean cool I guess, but when you're spending that kind of money on a watercooled PC do it right.
Found this on ebay. What a horrendous thing to do to a Ncase. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ncase-M1-v-...349016?hash=item3f75168218:g:FT4AAOSwWxNYoX3j

Normally I hold my tongue. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all... But this. WOW.
There is almost nothing that I can agree with here...
I hope the guy who built it was happy I guess.

Butchered the M1, sad. That dude should have gone with a much larger case.

Just receive my M1
Was wondering if we can assume the 1080Ti Fe will fit? anyone knows?
It should definitely fit. On the current Nvidia 1080 Ti product page (click on Specs and then View Full Specs) the dimensions are listed as 4.376 inches (111.15 mm) x 10.5 inches (266.7 mm) and the width is 2 slots (~ 41 mm).
Those lengths should probably be good if your 8 pin cpu connector is in the same place as mine! I have a good bit of extra length on my cables. I would measure with a string and tape measure first just to be sure though.
And wanted to update everyone. I overclocked my 7700k to 4.9GHz. Didn't think it would get that high with a glass side panel! I delidded the processor as well. It needs 1.29v for 4.9GHz (although CPU-Z reports a lower voltage, has anyone else noticed this with the Asus Z270i?). With those settings it hits 81 degrees under the x264 stress test. 77 degrees in Aida64. With XMP enabled, my Trident Z needs a bit more voltage to POST at 3200MHz. I upped the default voltage of 1.35v to 1.37v. With the extra stress on the memory controller, the cpu gets up to 85 degrees under stress tests.
I wanted that golden 5 GHz but my chip needs a lot more voltage to be stable. It failed at 1.33v and temps were already too high.

Yeah I am glad it wasn't posted in here because I don't like to make negative comments on another users build. I saw this and I was like OMG that thing is so ugly.
Looks like the owner also drilled some giant holes on each side for greater airflow...

Accelero and rear fan is coming too, but while wait:
Hope do you like it
really bad, I try it yet xDNice build.
Wondering how well the 1070 would cool if you just removed the shroud and fans from the card and left the heatsink with the two case fans blowing on it. A poor man's Accelero if you will.

The FAQ is a little out of date at this point. The next production run will probably be in April/May.As the silver Version with ODD Slot is already sold-out in the actual production run... When will be the next possibility to order it? The FAQ says usually in around 8 months, so not before the end of the year?
