    NCASE M1 v2 Build Thread

    I've seen some pics with ATX PSUs in the NCase M1. Are all of these non-modular that are shorter than 140mm as per the official specs on the website? I have a Seasonic X460FL that is modular and 160mm long. Would this fit with an OCUK GTX970 (card with a reference-style blower cooler)?

    I've used many PSUs from Seasonic and my X460FL has been up to their standards. Ive run the following system on it with no issues: 2500K @ 4500mhz 1.4v 2x MSI GTX460 Hawk in SLI (stock) all in a Fractal R3 makes for a very quiet system I sidegraded from a X650 which was really just as...

    This is also a solid fan: Scythe Slip Stream PWM: 200-1300rpm (goes up to ~1500rpm on my model) If properly controlled, this fan can be silent at low RPMs and push an impressive amount of air at high RPMs. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185144

    $1000 Silent Gaming PC

    Any GPU's fan is going to be LOUD when the fan speed is set to 100%. However, when running a typical game load, fan speed does not have to go anywhere near that speed. So unless you're folding or bitmining on that GPU, any of the coolers that I suggested should be acceptably quiet under...

    $1000 Silent Gaming PC

    Hey, I'm a silence enthusiast as well and I've got some recommendations Case: I have the Fractal R3 and I can highly recommend it. CPU: I think the 3570K is a good CPU for this type of build Mobo: I have had great experiences with ASUS 1155 boards, but I've also heard good things about...

    Yeah, so I picked up the Kuhler 620 for $40 AMIR and I'm going to throw on two Rosewill Hyperborea PWM fans (same as Akasa Apache) I've got an ASUS H61 mITX motherboard and I can throw in one of my 2500Ks. I've also got 8gb of G.Skill Sniper RAM and I can put in an extra MSI GTX460 1gb (either...

    +1 for cable length Also, is the unit longer than the old unit? Modular power supplies tend to be longer than their non modular counterparts due to the additional daughterboard. I'm just wondering because every mm matters in an itx case

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    That's great, but a full length individually sleeved kit is of limited use with a PSU that will be used in cramped cases. Now if they had cable lengths just long enough for use in their itx cases, that would be perfect. I know they sell the PP05 kit for their Strider series now, but if they...

    I've read the posts in this thread, but I don't think you've come to a consensus as to the max thickness of a rad to be installed in the bottom of this case once all the extra drive bays are removed. I see that the Swiftech Apogee Drive II Pump/Block Combo was released recently and it looks...
