I don't think the last impact board even had m.2. It had a daughter board for sound and one for vrm. Maybe you were thinking about the last strix board, and if so, Asus has one of those for the new chipset too.

I'm hoping that V6 has motherboard mounts for DTX.

It's hard for me to answer that. I am using the FE version of the GTX 1080, so it doesn't have temp sensors for memory or vrm. I just bought an EVGA heatsink with midplate to mod for my project. I have been gaming on the card just fine, so I don't think it matters much. I bet you could even run...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MSL64XG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is what I used, and it stuck very well. When I eventually wanted to switch to an EVGA midplate instead of the miniature ram heatsinks I really had to twist them a bunch to get them to come off.

People want high end hardware, and they want silence. This requires larger heatsinks and/or aio support. That so many are fine with using AIOs in SFF case design but balk at the idea of a thicker GPU or the ability to use aftermarket coolers -- a major success in the M1's design -- seems odd to...

What all core overclock were you able to hit with the big air setup?

I think the AIO was tested with the A12x25 which is a regular 25mm thick fan.

One thing I think you might be overlooking is mass. Water is a pretty big heatsink just by its self. You do need to eventually exhaust the heat, but if you can store a large amount of heat away from the CPU you don’t need to exhaust it as fast. I haven’t accounted for fin density, but based on...

M1AF Can you comment on the sound of each cooling solution? I'm most interested in the comparison between the OG C14 with 3 120 fans and the 240 AIO. In other words the best air configuration vs the best aio configuration.

I'd like to see Grendell's AIO. I have an old C14, but if the new corsair unit fits real nice I might switch.

What cooling solution was used on the GPU? Was it a blower, open air cooler, or the accelero xtreme? Did you record temps that you could share with us? Preferably delta from ambient temps instead of absolute temps. How was the cooling of the rest of the system configured? I.e. what cpu...

Great! Please report back with how this does in cooling the ram and vrm. It may not be entirely accurate to compare to Optimum's numbers due to differing ambient temps and other variables, but it would be within the ballpark.

You might like to take a look at Optimum Tech's video on the accelero cooler. He tried the same thing, but the extra tabs on the EVGA baseplate prevented it from contacting the GPU die enough to cool.

You have plenty of room for a 92mm tower cooler and a 120 AIO radiator. Also, you might think about the accelero GPU cooler if you want to stay with air.

This is a problem I'm trying to figure out as well. Have you seen this product: http://gelidsolutions.com/thermal-solutions/icy-vision-gtx10701080-enhancement-kit/ Apart from that, modding an old heatsink or even a thick piece of aluminum should work. Also, the EVGA ACX 3.0 SC features a flat...
