There are only four 120mm fan locations in the NCASE: two on the side bracket and two on the floor. I don't see any way that you could fit an ATX PSU and two AIO 120mm coolers in the NCASE.
I've only been here a few days and I already love this forum. So helpful!
I've got a question about using the GEMINII S524 ver 2 cooler with the SFX - 600 PSU from silverstone. I'm trying to see if it would clear the PSU, which is 63.5mm tall. My calculations are here: The motherboard's...
Is it smart/necessary to have a intake 120mm fan on the floor of the case, pointing directly into a reference GTX 980's blower fan? I'm not sure about this.
I believe the U9S doesn't need any special accommodations for it, due to it being completely within the 95x95mm no-go zone around the socket. Actually, Noctua's website specifically says that it has 100% RAM compatibility. See here...
I asked the same question and got conflicting answers. A guy said that it would just not fit at all, while another guy said that it should fit, but you might have difficulty with routing the cables due to there being no swivel barbs on the water block.
I've heard the same thing. I'm planning to use a reference 980 in my build (like the looks better and got a great deal on one), but I've seen tons of builds on here that seem to use a non-reference cooler (seemingly) just fine. I think the tricky part will be to figure out a optimal case airflow...
You could drop the AIO card and go for the MSI Gaming 6G Twin Frozr V card. I've heard very good things about it and it should fit in the NCASE (I still recommend double checking dimensions, though).
Really? Thanks for the heads up! I think I'll stick with the regular H100i then.
As for the intake/exhaust thing, I was thinking intake too, but I was worried about it increasing my general case temps and interfering with my GPU's cooling ability (GTX 980 reference).
