    Silverstone Alta D1

    I went with that case. Overall i am very happy with it. It’s higher than deep which is good for desk space. The build quality is very good. The airflow is very good as well. Everything is made of metal and feels sturdy. The removable MB tray is also a plus. I have a 1600w PSU so it’s enough but...

    Silverstone Alta D1

    Hello, I am planning a new build. I am looking at the Silverstone Alta D1 as I love the look and it could easily fit my 2 GPUs for which I need at least 8 pci slots. For those who have recently built in a SilverStone case. Is the build quality in line with what the brand is charging? I have...

    Thanks. 80° at 1500 -1600 is nice. Are you getting this with hardware temp monitoring or via custom software settings?

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Hi Guys, I currently have a an EVGA 2080 XC with dual Noctua 25mm fan set as intake. Temps are OK (between 75 C and 78 C) however I find the noise level quite high (fans always reaching 2200 rpm). Has someone a 2080 XC Ultra with Noctua 15mm below? What about the temps and more important fan...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    The board is great and I like the layout. The loaded Bios version was unstable but everything has been OK since I updated to the last version. Also UEFI settings are clear and well made. I have not installed any of the MSI utilities nor tried to OC the CPU. There is 3 fan headers which is...

    Hi guys, I finished my build last week-end and wanted to share with you. Apart a compatibility problem with my damn card reader which triggered endless windows beeps and almost made me return the mobo everything has been great. I'm very happy with the case. Hats off to the designers...

    If its passive speakers, I think a receiver will be needed. If active speakers, there is external sound cards like that http://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-x-fi-surround-5-1-pro.

    On the EU sites all cards affected are backordered. Seems they may be waiting for the new versions with thermal pads and new bios. Or maybe this is only due to the fact that EVGA is moving it's EU warehouse.

    With enough fans in the case, should I go blower style or open air gtx 1070?

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Thanks both! How is the temp with the C14s and 15mm fan? I think I will stay with the u9s since I received it already. NF-A15 seems indeed a good recommendation. Thanks. I will try this one and keep NF-P12 PWM for bottom. I have seen a few pics of U9s mounted vertically for top exhaust, did...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Hi, I finally didn't find any C14 and i'm going with u9S. What would be the recommended fan config with that cooler? I was thinking : - top exhaust with 2 fans push/pull on U9S. - One intake 120mm fan on the right of the side bracket (i understand left would not be possible with that CPU...

    Thank you for the advice. I will return the u9s to amazon IT thanks to the 2 month return christmas period :-) I found a c14 on amazon de marketplace for eur 100 with delivery. There is still 2 units if someone is interested.

    Hi Guys, I ordered a M1 which should be delivered tomorrow. I had also ordered on a good amazon deal a Noctua NH-U9S. I'm still gaming on my old i920 / 7970 rig build in a corsair 800D case :-) and it still goes well, so that I'm not in a hurry to buy the rest of the components and l don't...
