I would first have tried running Win10 in Safe mode or even better a Linux live USB (Mint is my fav) to be sure the problem is hardware related and not Win10 (some faulty driver, power plan, hibernating, ...). Actually I would have checked other input devices first ;)

Pull will also help for cleaning the dust, which will be on the exterior of the rad instead of inbetween rad and fan with push

Great idea! This foam could be good to prevent dust to enter the M1 when stopped. Any link to the product you have installed?

Considering that: - With the stock NCase feet and slim fans on the bottom rad, I would barely count it as a 120mm rad. - 1.42V at load, probably during the whole stress test - ambient temp of 28°C - custom loop for CPU + GPU I am not that much surprised by the temps you get during the benchs...

Sounds like the driver/software of the keyboard is loaded and then something unusual happens linked to USB powering. What I would try is attach the Logitec keyboard only and check if you can navigate into the BIOS/UEFI with it. If the keyboard works fine there, I would then boot into safe mode...

Thx a lot!

No opinion about this filter? Must be that everyone is happy with it I guess :joyful:

Hi guys, I was wondering if the M1 owners using the magnetic filter (on the bracket fans) are happy with it. Is the mesh fine/small enough to stop the dust? Does it add noise to your fans?

If that something is a curious kid, I/O on top will be safer :D

What options do we have (air or water) to replace the stock cooler?

Dust will gather on the exterior of the rad with a pull config, which is easier to clean than dust on fans or dust in between fans and rad with push.

Thanx, your NCase build is not bad either, well done! Looking forward for more pics! Small res are not that common unfortunately. The Swiftech Micro one is your best bet I guess: http://www.swiftech.com/mcresmicrorev2reservoir.aspx It was indeed a bit tricky with the mini water tank upside...

Thanx! Yep, I guess a short PCB GPU is almost the only to way to fit a D5 pump in there. Maybe full blocks will be available again for next gen short GPUs...

Thanx! The res is an Alphacool mini water tank, but has been discontinued because there is no baffle in it and its IN and OUT ports are aligned, which is not good to get rid of bubbles. I've found a solution for that though. Some teasers, build log here...

Before putting CLU on the die, you better apply some nail polish on the lil capacitors on the left of the die to prevent any shorts due to CLU. What works even better is covering them with liquid electrical tape. My 3570k Ivy Bridge is still showing low T° 3-4 (5?) years after delidding. I...
