Are there any problems installing the C14? Can it be installed in any orientation?

Is the NHC14 better than the NH U9DX i4?

I have both the Corsair SF600 and Silverstone SFX-L 500w. I had the Silverstone first, but the PSU wires would brush against the backside of my backplate-less GPU... I don't know if a GPU with a backplate would have even worked. So I decided to get a Corsair SF600 since it's regular SFX sized...

I don't know, but I'd stay away from the hg10 n980 until they fix some real problems it has. See the thread in the corsair forums. And yes, pumps need to run at 100% all the time. At least AIO Asetek ones do. I hooked them up with a sata power -> molex adapter and a molex -> fan header adapter...

A lot ventilation please!

Hg10 n970 http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-Edition-Cooling-CB-9060005-WW/dp/B0151PYG4E My corsair pumps didn't like being split from a fan header. They made noise. I put them on the psu and they went quiet.

You probably didnt damage your card, but don't run it that hot in the future. I'm guessing you have a top down cooler for your 980ti. If so, it's likely recycling much of the hot air due to the small case. Try create a duct so your fans only get air from the outside of the case, that should...

That fixed it. X.X thanks! Another question, if my computer goes to sleep or stays at the windows login screen for too long, the wireless card just stops working completely. Even a reset won't fix it, I have to physically unplug the computer (or turn off the psu I guess) and plug it back in to...

Im pretty sure that card is a standard pcb layout. That being said, i dont recommend the hg10n980. I have one and while it works, the fan is loud.

I have two rads and splitting a rad with a fan did not work well, so my rads are connected to extra sata power connectors to my psu.

I have a 92mm noctua, didnt add much noise, helped a tiny bit with airflow. Ended up taking it off. You can place the 3.5" hdd on the case floor below the motherboard and still fit a 120mm below the gpu blower fan, cable management is tight and some heat from the gpu can transfer to the hdd...

Yeah, push/pull ideally vs only pull. 13801 at stock clocks on the 980ti.

Slightly overclocked, +220mhz gpu, +100mhz vram, 3.9ghz cpu. Temps on the gpu get to the high 70s. When doing the asus stress test, both cpu and gpu get to the high 70s. Im only getting 1350 or so boost :/ I feel like the case might have something to do with it. Only one fan vs 2 for each rad...

Does a 15,788 Firestrike score sound about right for a 5820k and 980ti in an ncase? I see people in the 16,000 range with the same processor and gpu...

Ok, seems like most of the noise is from the Silverstone SFX-L 500w PSU. Seems that since I'm blowing hot air on the back of the PSU now, the PSU fan has to almost constantly run.

I can't even control the fans from speedfan though.

I'm experiencing this too.

It doesn't sound like a pump issue, it sounds like a fan issue for some reason. Ill give it a try.

Yes. I have a corsair h75 with one fan (basically a h55) on my cpu and a h75 with one fan on my 980ti. It fits, but it's very tight. It took some creative routing of tubes. It's also really noisy and i cant figure out why, since it was almost silent with just the h75 on the cpu.

I have a substantially similar build and just posted that I got two AIOs to work :D Temps aren't amazing compared to custom liquid or a large open case, but they're much better than running a blower on the 980ti. And with the limited cpu cooler compatibility with narrow ilm combined with the...

So I managed to fit a Corsair HG10 N980 and H75 with my H75 on my cpu. One fan each though. It took a while to figure out orientation of the tubing and such as well as how to get 2 radiators and 2 fans onto 2 total fan headers. But it works. I went from 83C (thermal throttled) on my...

After using 2 monitors, it's hard to go back to 1. With a 2 monitor stand, I'd look at the non-monitor and cry every day. Now a triple monitor stand with a vesa mounted pc would be neat. Zotac EN970 might work.

Ive read that modern nucs don't get loud when under load, and thats using integrated graphics as well as the cpu. With a discrete gpu, the cpu area should be cooler. And the gpu has its own cooling of course. The one sata port as its only storage is something I considered, but with a 2tb 850...

Yeah it was that extra space taken up by the PSU, of which a NUC board can give a little. The limiting factor is the length of an ITX GPU as it can't be shrunken any smaller, but a NUC board can :D The thing with a nuc board is that it has its own power delivery system. The psu would be...

That's the thing though, I realized I was pushing hot air INTO my case when running the side fans with an AIO on intake. Doing more experimentation.

As others mentioned, its the lack of standard parts. Most if not all use laptop components. Those that don't use nuc components with a laptop gpu. I'm proposing a step up, desktop itx gpu. Although thinking about it now, I heard about a mxm full gtx 980 coming out. But in any case, theres...

Pretty much exactly. Did you just make that or is it available somewhere? Cause that's awesome. If you made the psu a regular sfx instead of sfx-l, could a 2.5" tray fit up top between the front of the case and the psu? Actually the form factor I'd go for with a nuc and itx gpu would be side...

So looking at everything, if the design started at as SG13 and cut off the front and made it a bit shorter, then you put a HD-PLEX (or mayyybe SFX psu) up top, you could get a very compact system. and an i3 with a 950 could run off a 250w hdplex psu, although I'd be weary of anything more than that.

I want a case designed for a NUC mobo, one 2.5" drive, and an itx (950 or 960 itx) graphics card. I'd prefer an external psu.

Do people generally run the side fans in intake or exhaust? I was running intake because of filters...

I have a 5820k at 3.8ghz (preset overclock, it hit 80c under sustained stress test), 980ti reference, h75 on the cpu, 2 ssds and a hdd with the 500w silverstone sfx-l. No power issues that I've found on the asus cpu+gpu stress test. Im planning on putting an aio on my 980ti since its boost is...

Something about AotS benchmarks doesn't make sense. What else is giving AMD GPUs a boost in DX12 besides async compute? Even with AMD's own Mantle in Thief and BF4 which support async compute, the 290X doesn't beat a 980 and the Fury X is just behind a 980ti / Titan X.

The entire build is essentially silent when not under heavy load. I really can't wait for the corsair hg10 n980 so I can run a h75 for the 980ti. Not for the noise, but so I can get a better boost out of the gpu.

Reference 980ti throttles at 81c, never goes above that. H75 on the cpu gives me 65c in BF4 multiplayer, everything maxed. In the asus stress test, the cpu with h75 gets to 80c. It's running a mild 3.8ghz overclock. The loudest component is the gpu at full load by a large margin, but...

Thanks, got it to fit with one fan. It's tight with the long tubes and isn't really giving better temps than the air cooler that came with the x99e-itx/ac, but it's quieter. While it looks possible to get another fan in there, I don't think it's a good idea.

You might be right. It looks like the rad is twice the thicknesses of the fan, but the rad might have a shroud or something over part of the fan. Also a ddc pump is roughly 2.44" which is 62mm and it seems like the rad+fan is about the width of a ddc.

I really doubt it. An h100i seems to barely fit and it has a 27mm thick rad + 25mm thick fan. The Predator AIO has a 68mm thick rad + 25mm thick fan. Then of course, as you noted, the pump/res on the side.

That cat is 5 lbs. She's tiny. The interior until I get the 2011v3 narrow bracket for the h75... and also the h75 itself. Not shown are the two sp120 quiet fans on the side of the case. Mobo: Asrock x99e-itx/ac Processor: i7-5820k Gpu: 980ti reference Ram: 2x8gb Corsair vengeance ddr4...

Will a Corsair h75 fit in an ncase m1? If not, does it come with screws to mount only one fan?
