NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)
When you say "expansion cards to the chassis via their own mounting bracket" you mean the screws holding the removable slots in place? the ones that actually get screwed into the gpu?- xcharlesy

Might be a stupid question, but do you guys use PH0 or PH1 size screw drivers for fan bracket/mobo screw/chassis etc?- xcharlesy

NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)
Curious if anyone has had luck finding a good generic m.2 heatsink that fits on rear mounted motherboards. I am going to be using the Strix X570-i and here is what the back of the case looks like. Not sure how much clearance this will allow for but am interested to know what has worked for everyone!- xcharlesy

Just got my Ncase delivered in Canada. Ordered 12/15/19, shipped 12/24/19, delivered 01/07/20. Not bad considering the holidays! Also I wasn't asked to pay duty? Is this normal?- xcharlesy

NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)
Hello! I am looking to run a Gigabyte 2070 Super GAMING OC in my upcoming Ncase build. I have read that this card fits on the official GPU list, however I would like to confirm that it fits in multiple cooling scenarios. (FYI the "Gaming OC" version is thicker than the "Windforce OC" version)...- xcharlesy

Has anyone here tested the 1080 Ti SC2 with 2 intake fans below vs. no fans below? I'm not interested in doing an arctic accelero or anything of that nature - just curious how temps are.- xcharlesy

This is interesting. Can you go into detail with exactly what your C14S fan setup was? I'm running around 8-10 degrees cooler on the regular C14 at 5.1 delidded.- xcharlesy

Too many options. What should I use to cool my 7700k
Jump into that case with the basic Corsair AIO approach just as hundreds have before you. Otherwise buy tower Noctua cooler.- xcharlesy

Can someone please tell me (or show me a pic) of the screw I'm supposed to use to secure the side panel fan mount to the Ncase. Not the 2 baby ones that go into the front side, but the 2 that attach to the bcak bracket in the rear. I just want to be sure I'm not using the incorrect screw by mistake.- xcharlesy

Totally ineffective, and it comes from the proximity of fans to the video card, not distance of air to be drawn in. Don't bother as these cards are really effect without any addition air flow. If you understand how reference cards work they are totally sufficient without forcing any addition air...- xcharlesy

You can use the side panel with the screen just to have a screen if you want. And thanks Qrash, as you can see it's got a slight edge in performance. Neither are really audible but I prefer the Phanteks looks. To be clear: the best temps I've achieved in testing a large cooler like the C14 came...- xcharlesy

No need to run a bottom 120mm, and the A15 is simply not as good. Lower CFM / static pressure, plus aesthetics.- xcharlesy

NEW FAN WHO DIS? could it be final form? This Phanteks fan mounted to the C14 gave a 1-2C drop from the Gentle Typhoons and is far quieter. Highly recommend this fan to those of you with the C14. You can use the mounting clips that came with your C14 fans. 5.1 GHz+ here I come!- xcharlesy

I use that mobo with a C14 and probably get the same temps. If anything is a pain with this case its fitting a AIO cooler in it, and then every time you want to open the case you'll need to prepare.- xcharlesy
