I'm a bit out of date here...built an X99, I think Haswell era M1 w/ a Noctua C14, and also a blower style GPU. Works well in general. I might think of upgrading once the 3080 comes out...but if I want to air cool anything (stock, no OC) and not deal with water coolers/radiators, then it's...

Just wondering...I have the old noctua C12 cooler in my M1, but wondering...if I were to update the guts, would any of the other Noctua models offer roughly equivalent cooling/noise profiles? I usually run things stock, no overclocking.

actually, would be interesting to see if Noctua L9-65 or NH-L12 would suffice in most situations. Maybe not if ppl are OC'ing aggressively, but for stock speeds, I'd be interested in seeing if a L9-65 would be enough for a broadwell-e (my board has the narrow ILM mounts for broadwell-E)

Just the 140 mm in, and a 92 mm out. Video card w/ a blower. I have tried the prolimatech thin 140 as well as the noctua, both seem to keep idle between 24-28 c...

Hmm, hmmm, I am using the c14 w a single 140 mm, debating on whether this is preferable or not to a dual 120 mmm setup :/

OK, at any rate, muddle through piecing this together damn thing does boot. There is a minor amount of board flex at the back so the ports in the middle are like ~ 1 mm above the backplate slots (this is usually the bane of my existence during builds...if only they could design a better...

OK, dumb question - for those of you who did the Noctua C14S build in the Ncase M1 - how did you fit the fan? Mine extends out the side of the chassis by like 3-4 mm?

How good are the moddiy cables?

Dumb question: W/r to the wifi/bluetooth module, this should work? Intel Network 7260.HMWWB.R WiFi WIRELESS-AC 7260 H/T 2X2 AC 867 Mbps+ Bluetooth HMC Dual Band Brown Box-Newegg.com

I suppose., although they are all through these smaller suppliers...I still have an irrational distrust of the Amazon return policy. Thanks for pointing that out though; Amazon didn't have them listed a couple of weeks ago

The bigger question - where the hell can you actually get a V4 in the US? sigh...

Seems like more of a Node or Silverstone SG series competitor to me.

I may be looking at the titan version of the card for a deep learning testbed....most for the 32 gb HBM RAM, but the 1080 may be a good upgrade for the gaming box in the meanwhile...

ah that will be a reasonable upgrade point then, that plus a 1080.

Sort of wondering, are they going to release E5-16xx V4's? or are the V3's all we are getting for now.....

I might bite soon if the Pascal GPU parts come out and they look good. Probably whatever the 3.5-3.7 gHz broad well EP part is, plus a GTX 1080 for gaming or their equivalent of a Titan X for a CNN/Deep Learning test bed. The main decisions, IMHo are which coolers. Air: Noctua C14 vs...

Looking at this again....dumb question: with the new mounts (unofficial), would one be able to put the Noctual NH-L12 cooler on this?

nice, it has Alpine Trail? At work, got permission to get the older broadwell NUC instead of the generic Lenovo whatevers. OMG, my life is so much better...I love that thing.

It would be interesting to see what the electrical engineering tests of these will look like. I'm most interested in reliability...not that I have a whole lot of experience, but I had an antec PSU that blew when I was still building ATX, so I had been using Seasonics only out of paranoia in the...

I think the sound hardware may be an upgrade too.

this may have been answered correctly but say you have: 1) air cooler blowing downwards (towards the CPU/motherboard) 2) GPU cooler blowing air away from card (presumably into the case 3) one chassis fan connector for a 120 mm fan. Do you put the fan in the front part of the case as...

argh you're not helping! lol

I just got the wild idea to stick my old i5-2500k (in a Antec P150 with a MSI P67 ATX mobo) case into the NCase M1. There is just 1 mini-ITX motherboard left in stock: the Asus P8H61-I R2.0....

This is just a hypothetical, but suppose you had a cable and DSL connection and wanted to combine both into one virtual "pipe" - are there ways to set up a network or routing to utilize both connections?

Do you have to depend on Asrock for "custom" audio drivers for their "supremeFX" stuff or will the standard realtek ones work?

hard to say, i'm sure TWC being who they are, there are all sorts of gotchas. At the moment, it is mostly gaming, some software downloads, internet backups and the usual web browsing, email. Maybe some netflix/itunes stuff. nothing super crazy. Although wondering if having 100-200...

Hm, wonder if it is all toothing problems w/ the BIOS. I suppose newegg reviews are not the best way to gauge these things but seems like there are all glitchy things with the ITX candidates: Gigabyte GA170N-Wifi: VRM overheats, CPU throttles under load Gigabyte GA170N-gaming: using...

Darn... everything is stock too? I have a couple of Asrock boards from the Haskell era and they have been solid...previously did gigabytes and MSI. Was hoping Asrock was coming into their own as a manufacturer...

So...am moving to a new neighborhood (San Marino, CA) and dealing with the wonders that are the internet service provider industry. As far as I can tell, the only real choice in the area is Time Warner; with packages of 300 Mbps down/20 Mbps up for ~$65, 200/20 for ~$55, 100/10 for 45...

Samsung is a chaebol and is not really one company, but a gigantic mess of subsidiaries. So far, it seems their semiconductor group is great. Everything else, hit or miss depending on model year...

OK: http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C236%20WSI#Specifications Too good to be true? Mini-ITX, ECC RAM....AND integrated Realtek 1150 sound?!?!?

So, it looks like these are the two "prosumer" level NVMe PCIe 3.0x4 drives out at least in the near future. Which one to get? Published numbers for the 950 pro seems to indicate the 512mb module edges out the 750 in sequential read, write, IOP's, yada yada BUT...the Intel drive will be...

this looks kind of neat. Was going to pull the trigger on a Intel 750, but would be interesting to see how the benchmarks compare

thanks!

Debating on this board - looking through the anandtech review and it mentions the board is limited to 16 PCIe lanes from the CPU (down from the usual 40 from full sized x99). Does that mean that if you hook up a PCIe M.2 (x4), that will eat up 4 lanes and the GPU will only get 8 or 12 lanes...

dumb question but i can't seem to find this scrolling back through the pages of builds - what is the cable set people buy to better route things through the smaller itx cases, the Silverstone PPOE-5?

I think looking at all the PCIe storage and the lane requirements, I suppose that may be the way to go, w/ the Intel nvme drive.... How important is registered memory for 2 8 gb ECC sticks? Worth it or just do unbuffered?

I suppose. I figured it's worth keeping an eye on it for now; if it's real and the next best thing since sliced bread, can always upgrade. At any rate, I suppose the main debate in my head is: X99/ITX with a larger TDP for the processor/motherboard (and thus higher load on the SF45SF-G...

Some podcast, don't have exact sources unfortunately, but something about DDR4 having some sort of on-dimm ECC capability that doesn't require motherboard support...sounded tasty but still just a rumor....

I sort of missed the last 60 pages of this thread...lol. But is the conclusion that this thing is more compromised in terms of noise and components than the SF45-G unit in order to achieve its 600W rating?
