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

    - Yes, I'm running the H80i with two fans in push-pull configuration, one of the original 25mm fans that came with the H80i and a 12mm fan, the Scythe you refer. This allows to run the H80i without any modification to it. There is space for two 25mm fans but this would require changing the...

    1- The SFX450 is known to be able to supply enough juice for the most power hungry GFX+CPU combo, so, instead of just having silverstone to belive, you also have a bunch of people reporting that it works. A 780ti will draw 250w at most when overclocked, and a 4770k overclocked to 2.5GHZ will...

    That rad should help quite a bit in keeping with the heat. My only concern is that it appears to be made by Asetek, a company that is suing everyone who dares to make a AIO water cooler.

    try this one, test1 to test core stability and see how much hot it will get ( it wont get hotter than this ), and test2 for L3 cache testing. be very careful with the core voltage if you are running adaptive core voltage, because the cpu will draw 0.1v more than what you set...

    What software are you using for stability testing? are you running the cache in sync with the core?

    I choose that orientation to have the psu fan help pull air out of the case.

    I also have an impact and a 4770k and I think that the best cpu cooler you can get ( in terms of cooling performance ) that will still allow you to use the right side of the side bracket is the H80i with a single 25mm fan or with two fans, one 25mm fan and one 12mm fan. Actually, I think the...

    I have both. I have two pairs of H80i/H100i fans and a pair of SP120 high performance edition fans. The ones that ship with the H80i/H100i are rated at 0.36amps and the SP120 HP edition are rated at 0.25 amps. The blades look exactly the same so the only diference ( in regards to performance )...

    The only problem for me with the sg09/10 is that it is quite ugly.

    Two features of the H80i tubes play a crucial part for it to work, those are the length of the tubes and their resistance to colapsing. If those tubes on the H80 have similar properties then you will have no problems.

    Thanks! To guarantee that the PSU exaust air doesnt get dumped inside the case again.

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

    That one will not work because It's 120mm and not 92mm ( i checked silverstone web site and they dont have 92mm fan filters ). Also, you need to unscrew the grill to clean the dust. The one I use you just need to pull the plastic frame.

    There is a README.txt file on the shared folder where I wrote some notes about the build, and the paper grit is mentioned. I used 1000,1500,2000,2500,3000,5000 and 7000 grit paper ( in this order ). I secured the paper to a glass using adesive tape and then sanded down the copper plate for...

    Don't forget to order IC cooling diamond thermal paste. It's the best themal paste with no doubts. I've tried most of the most talked ones and for me IC allways cames on top by a good margin. It also has the advantage of being thick so it will not bleed with time.

    I put a huge amount of pressure on the core with the block, and I have been doing this for years with no problems really. The core is very resistent to compression, the problem is really impact from blows or falls.

    http://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_info.php?products_id=2822 Bare-die is the way to go when it comes to cooling performance. It's at least a 10 degree celcius improvement ( With my cpu I saw a 15 degree celcius improvement ). It went from 98 degrees to 77 on load ( prime95 avx2, overclocked...

    I didn't find any unusual noise/behaviour with this fan combination. What do you mean by metal tubing? I belive that the H80i with two 25mm fans and the original tubes will fit the case as long as the motherboard doesn't have a power regulated PCB elevated from the mb and a sound card that is...

    that happened to me too. I used the screws that came with the H80i but I had to use washers on both sides of the motherboard ( two washers per screw, one at the back another one at the front of the mb ). One set of washers came with the Asus Impact mb and the other set I had it on my toolbox...

    The H80i gives you the same cooling performance* of the H100i and you still keep the right part of the side bracket to put stuff like hard disks or fans, or even an ATX psu. I have seem a couple of head-to-head tests where the H100i comes on top by 2-3 degree celcius, and another one where...

    I did mod the AC cable but the H80i would fit without needing to mod it. I cut it short just because I thought it was too long :) I didn't cut the H80i tubbing, nor I had the necessity to bleed. I used two H80i's, one was destroyed to experiment with diferent things, the other one was not...

    Guys I need a huge help from someone with a sst-st45sf-g V2. I was going to mod the 24-pin cable, printed the pinout that Wisk posted and started to remove the cables from the motherboard connector of the 24pin cable that came with the PSU. Just them I realized that the pinout posted by Wisk...

    - 1000 cases were made - 664 sold via indiegogo - Less than 10 people ordered after the campaign ( post 5498 ). I read this as less than 10 people ordered via the ncases web page. So if the above is correct, there are more than 300 cases that were manufactured and have no owner.

    1000 cases has been made but only about 700 sold. I'm sure wahaha and necere will think about selling most of the remaining 300 after the 700 that were sold reach their owners. If the cases reach their destination intact, there will be no reason to keep 300 in stock. So I think we will see a...

    I just measured the ram modules, and they are taller than the IO backplate by 17mm, so it will not work with the fans that are shipped with the H80i, and it will also not work by replacing one of the fans with a slim one. The pcb height of the memory module is small so what I'm going to do is to...

    If you still have the case assembled with hardware you could use a string to make a rough estimate of the cable lengths. that would be more than enough for me :) Regarding the H80i, there will be no tubing to route as I will cut them to fit. But I completly forgot about the memory modules. I'll...

    single size individual cables are fine for me. I would even prefer it to come with a single sleeve to join all the internal wires. What I don't want is to much cable filling a volume that is already short.

    Necere, I would love to have cabling of the correct length ( less possible clutter ) when the M1 arrives. I'm going to buy the cables from moddiy.com and they accept custom orders. So the idea is to order the cables in advance, so that I have them ready when the M1 arrives. I will use the...
