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

    Well I'm looking at having it as quiet as possible while managing a 4.4 Ghz OC'd 4690k. I have no drives in it as I'm using a M.2 SSD so I'm not that bothered about that. The H100 I ahve ATM is an OEM one that has no pump control at all. Would it be worth just getting a slightly more different...

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

    OK thanks. In your opinion what is the best air cooler that you can fit in the NCase? Seems to be a toss up between the Dark Rock TF and the NH-C14 with the TF looking nicer.

    Does anyone know if the Dark Rock TF fits in? It is 130.8mm tall and the compatibility says 130mm.

    No it doesn't warp the PCB at all. Atleast on my version there is like 1-2mm between the top of the card and the bottom of the cables. If you can back through my post history you can probably find the pictures I posted.

    A long graphics card and a SFX-L PSU fit fine (Even with a backplate). Source: My Ncase.

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

    Yeah I know how the LNA's work which is why I tried it. The H100 is a OEM version of a now discontinued product that costs less than £50 so pump quality isn't very good. I've been looking into getting a Coolermaster Nepton but have yet to get round to it due to constant replacement of 980's as I...

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

    It's just a H100 rather than the i version. If try to use voltage control anything below full speed is even louder with a buzzing/screeching sound and if I use a low noise adapter from a NF-F12 the pump completely stops.

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

    It all depends on the pump. I have a H100 atm and the lowest speed the pump runs at is full speed 4700~rpm and is most definitely the loudest part of the system at idle. There are a few people who have the apogee drive as a pump for a custom loop but I don't think anyone has commented on the...

    Try returning it to amazon, their returns are normally fairly decent. Atleast in my experience.

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

    It was also very not fun getting it into the case... If you have an air cooler you'd have to take that out to get it in. With a radiation you need to take that out. An atx power supply or a SFX in the atx slot would also need to be removed. You then put it in so the pcb is facing the cpu...

    Silent 980

    I dont think the MSI Twin Frozr V fits in my case but I will double check. EDIT: It seems to fit but has "connection" issues. I'm not entirely sure what this means though. Im guessing its the cables press agaisnt the side panel but this can be easily modded so I may try this. I have a...

    Silent 980

    Hi, I'm looking for a 980 that is silent at idle and is quiet at load and has no power noise (Buzzing or whining or anything similar). I have tried 1 reference on 3 different power supplies and all did the exact same noise, I then tried another reference on my main power supply and it bzzd. I...

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

    Yes im sure... The 980 measurements don't include the heatpipe for some retarded reason. EDIT: Couple extra pictures.
  24. A

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

    Correct. Incorrect. If you take out the rubber plug for the clip at the back that bit fits in fine. The problem lies with the heatpipe. It sticks out over the edge of the case and prevents the side panel being put on. Same problem with the 980 Strix. EDIT: Upon closer inspection it seems that...

    The CPU and motherboard you have chosen is the previous generation. You'd be better off getting a 4790k and a Z97 motherboard.

    You can overclock on all Asus motherboards. Doesn't matter about chipset for overclocking any more.

    Cooler choice

    Yeah height limit is 130mm

    Cooler choice

    Im considering the NH-C14 but the BeQuiet Dark Rock Top Flow that is due out soonish also looks tempting. I'm currently using a H100 with NF-F12's and the pump is the loudest thing in the system which is why I want to change it out for an air cooler.

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    The fans aren't identical between the chieftec and the silverstone unit. The motor may be the same but I don't know but the fan blades are definetly different. The Silverstone ones are semi transparent, have more blades and the blades are a different shape.

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    Would using the ambient temperature work?
  32. A

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    Would unplugging the fan from the PSU and then plugging it into the motherboard using an adapter work? It would mean the fan would always spin but you would have more control over it atleast.

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    I have a 980, a 4690k (OC'd to 4.4GHz) and with web browsing/skype/music etc the fan doesn't spin up.

    It's not just the fan noise. The fan noise definetly doesnt help but before the fan spins up my unit (not sure if all) buzz.

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    In a more extended analysis the SX500-LG's fan isn't particularly quiet. By this i mean it is easily audible at 2-3ft when computer is idling. Had a closer look, the fan is just about spinning when my computer is idling. It also buzzes at idle and probably under load by the GPU buzzing...
