    NCASE M1 v2 Build Thread

    Understood. I was really hoping that they would introduce a MCP50x top with inlets and outlets on the side so that I could use it instead of the 30. I should probably just look at installing an external pump and radiator for my desk to get that noise down, and then let the small internal pump...

    NCASE M1 v2 Build Thread

    Were you able to get the MCP35x isolated from the case enough to get rid of the noise? I have a DCP2.2 in the same spot in my case and it buzzes terribly even at low RPM.

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

    I will be very curious to see how you end up mounting your mcp50x. I was really hoping to use it under my 290x, but there just isn't physically enough space. The noice of my EK DCP2 bugs me a bit, even with it decoupled as much as I can fit.

    Debating on building a SFF for home and travel. Advice?

    That PartsPicker is probably the best you're going to find for your purposes. There are other cases that might look nicer or support slightly higher end hardware, but they all cost significantly more and are measurably larger. It's also worth checking for clearances or deep discounts while you...

    New EK Water Block ITX case.

    +1 for this! When I read the title I jumped a bit because I thought they might be building a case with the radiators integrated into the frame. Looking through the pictures it is sharp, but all the components are so far apart. It's a pass for me.

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

    Best bet is to watch the NCases.com website. I got one of the leftovers from the v2 run, but I had to just keep refreshing their website until the option to order showed up. I saw a Silver v1 come up on their site about a week ago, but haven't seen anything since. -Ben

    Might help if you clarified what you mean by "Great" sound quality... there is a pretty big spread. I assume you're not talking about driving a pair of Wilson XLF loudspeakers :) If you just need to get 5.1 or 7.1 audio into your surround sound, the motherboard's optical audio output is...

    NCASE M1 v2 Build Thread

    Thanks! It's EK's CoolStream PE radiator at 38mm thick, plus a pair of Rosewill Hyperborea 120mm at 25mm thick. I used the Koolance 90° barbs because the thread-in section is only 17mm across so it fits right down into the hole cut in the EK radiator shroud. It probably frees up 3-4mm...

    Hey Guys, I finished my V2 Build - the log is over on OCN but I thought I should mention it here. http://www.overclock.net/t/1519868/build-log-just-ncase

    It is absolutely possible with your setup. First, your motherboard has two fan headers: CPU_FAN is a 4-Pin PWM Controllable header SYS_FAN is a standard 3-Pin Voltage Controllable header In order to control them you will need to run some software. SpeedFan is one of the long-time favorites...

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

    You beat me to it. A standard microATX is physically too large to fit between the top and bottom frame on the NCase, I won't rule out the possibility of SLI in that case, I've heard of the coin farmers using PCI-E splitters to shoe-horn additional GPUs into a build, but after holding...

    NCASE M1 picture and build general log

    I bet you could talk Necere or W360 into sending you a left side panel to play with. A few minutes with a drill press and a ruler and you would be able to tell us how much of a difference some secondary vents makes. -Ben

    Xigmatek Eris (Where's the PSU?)

    Great find on that build log. It looks like they put the bottom panel on the top of the case when they put it back together after the build (note the fan vents don't line up with the ODD bay. On the positives, the custom length 24pin cable would be SO CUTE! (only need about 2" of wire). It...
