Mine was delivered on Monday and the shipping status didn't update until it was in my hometown. I wouldn't worry. Very nice case BTW.

This was the case for me as well.Mine was delivered on Monday and the shipping status didn't update until it was in my hometown. I wouldn't worry. Very nice case BTW.
I don't have a 970, and the 970s seem to all use a non-reference blower cooler, but I'll tell you my experience to help you get an idea. My reference EVGA 980 gets to around 80C, which is the default "temp target" setting, and maxes out around 60% fan speed, which is reasonably loud but not any louder than the box fan I often run in my room. It's not really noticeable with closed back gaming headphones on and bullets whizzing around you. Idle noise is low, about 30% fan speed. Those are all still the default settings, obviously you can tweak temp and power targets along with fan curves to prioritize different things. I don't have any fans on the bottom of the case right now.Maybe too early but anyone know the GTX 970 temps in the M1? MSI, PNY, Evga all have blower style coolers. Manli apparently has the Titan cooler but it's not sold in the US
There is a bit of an opening, but it's fine. Not a hot card anyway
It shouldn't really matter, as long as you have the fan on top. Temperatures for one top fan versus top and bottom are effectively the same. See http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/noctua-nh-c14_5.htmlI'm just curious has anyone managed to get both 140mm fans working on the c14? I know necere said it wouldn't work because of the sfx but has anyone else managed to do it maybe with a different orientation or something? I sifted through the thread and couldn't find anything about it.
Once step 4 started all I could think of was this...

I suspect it's due to the fact the fins are so short in the direction of airflow. Very little resistance, it's not like a super deep or dual tower cooler where the flow restriction is greater. Although I'm actually not sure those super big tower coolers really benefit that much from a second fan either.That's actually pretty fascinating, I expected a much larger difference. Damn if I knew I had no height restriction I would have gone for dominators.
2 x Noctua 120mm fans on the bottom blowin in
1 x Noctua 120mm fan on the side blowing at the Noctua L12
1 x Noctua 92mm fan blowing out at the back
1 x Silverstone PSU SFX mounted with the fan pointing out from the case
1 x Radeon GFX board, has a fan but can not be heard when not gaming.
Currently the Noctua L12 has no fans attached to it, I am thinking of adding a 92 and a 120 mm fan to it again, maybe it is overkill? I have no 3.5" drives at the moment so thinking of adding another 120 fan on the side too.
No hard feelings AFD..
We want positive pressure in the M1 and to do this all fans have to be sucking air into the case, right? I plan on using five fans:
- Two - push/pull on my H75 radiator (side panel)
- One on the fan mount next to the radiator (side panel)
- Two on the bottom of the case
All five fans will be on low noise adapters.
I haven't taken the PSU fan into account yet. Should the PSU fan be facing out so the PSU gets fresh air or should it face in so the coil whine is less audible...
Which orientation do I want (to keep positive pressure in the case)?
Mine is actually properly updated:
It's going to Norway though, so with tarnsit and especially customs i wouldn't be surprised if it is still a couple of weeks away.
Haven't ordered the components anyway, so its not a big deal.
I wouldn't worry about the lack of info.
Either way its one of those things you can't do anything about, so might as well just lean back and let it play out
Had the same same status as yours on September 23rd. Mine is already in Poland, so yours should be in Norway or at least Europe as well
Never!
I do agree that my ancillary fans aren't really necessary, but after recently adding the low-noise adapters, I'm very happy with them and the circulation they provide (and yes, I know the LNAs add even more wire and points of failure ). I'm not 100% sure yet, but those 3 extra fans might actually prove to be more useful once I plug up the top panel with my new IreK Demci filter.
My logic is this:
Urelure, logic can only bring you so far
I noticed over the years on enthusiast forums many times people writing "this is best way to put fans because X airflow, Y pressure, Z hot air rising". Then they build their rig and assume they did it the best way.
But rarely see people test their system to actually find optimum solution.
Start with no case fans, stock CPU and GPU fans, PSU fan inward. Check component temperatures. Now add fans one at a time, checking each time for differences in behaviour.

Unfortunately not everyone has the time to test everything in so thorough way.
Personally i have some sort of "vision" and if it works good enough, thats propably the way how its going stay unless i have some real need to switch stuff around inside the computer. Never mind what i want to do, i just dont have the time unfortunately.
I have a quick question on the international shipping of the ncase. Are all cases shipped to the U.S. first, and then sent to their final locations from there (As i have seen, you did some quality control on all of them) ?
Because everyone here seems to be using USPS tracking, but my tracking number is only valid for DHL. And it still says "Shipping from Taiwan to target country (Germany) .
You guys are way too worried about positive pressure. Just blow the case out once a week/month and it'll be fine.
I'm actually running without any case fans at the moment. Just the 140mm on my NH-C14 which is effectively a case fan as it's so close to the side panel. Plus the blower on my 980, which is probably getting most of its air from the bottom vents. PSU fan facing out to give it that nice cool air. I can hear the clicking noise if I'm right next to it, but it seems to be inaudible once you get about a foot away.
same hereYep my tracking is stuck at the preshipment stage as well.
same here
need a case for saturday if not tomorrow... I don't want to strip out my current M1 v1
