    M1 Build complete; cooling question

    After much reading and comparing, I ordered a Noctua NH-U9B SE2 last night, if only just to test out and compare to the NH-L9i. Hooked on Noctua products now, for sure. Good call on bulk and cleanliness. Took me several goes to get the cables to my liking. Will probably stick with what I've...

    NCASE Build Advice.

    If you've got a 4770k, you should really consider getting the Z97i-PLUS, instead of the H97i-PLUS; that way you can overclock later on down the line with a decent cooler. The H97i-PLUS is a great board, and what I use with my Xeon, but I'm not going to be overclocking. Try plugging...

    NCASE M1 v2 Build Thread

    I'll start with your suggested 2 92mm and 2 120mm fans. Should be easy enough to add more if I need to later. Think I'll just stick with the stock CPU cooler for the time being, since I wont be overclocking. Thanks for the response. Am also considering the MSI H97I AC mobo. The built-in...
