Just got my 950 pro 512, and now my build is complete. I've been using a 1tb 850 evo as boot, which I'll switch to storage/games now.
Rest of my build can be found in a previous build, for now, here's a quick bench, and some shots of it in my case.

Has anyone put the Dark Rock TF into the ncase M1 yet?
I'd like to know if you can fit it with the heatpipes pointing towards the GPU and still fit the hard drive cage.
I plan to use the 3m riser card to move an EVGA 980 Ti down a slot - giving room for the Dark Rock and also room for an SFX-L PSU.
BUT I'd love for any reports of getting this cooler in with the hdd cage....
Anyone with pics on fitment?
This is the only build I can recall seeing with the Dark Rock TF. If you read down that thread, the poster addresses fitment with the HDD cage. Of course, how and if it fits depends on the CPU socket location on the motherboard.Has anyone put the Dark Rock TF into the ncase M1 yet?

Yea that's the only one I saw as well. It doesn't make reference to pointing the heatpipes downwards towards the GPU and fitting though
I'm sure my problem has nothing to do with the Ncase specifically besides the fact that I'm using it but I don't really know where else to go for help. Just finished my build in the m1, was really excited to turn it on, as soon as I got it half way plugged in the psu exploded, sounded like a gunshot, small amount of smoke floated up. The power bar the cord was connected to is done, none of the other outlets on it work. A quick Google search lead me to another forum saying it's probably a faulty psu. I'm hoping that's true as I don't think I did anything wrong in the build. I'm using the sx600-g v1.1, the room I'm building is a bit humid, but I highly doubt that's and issue as other computers are running in the same room.
Another? It's common?Ouch... sounds like yet another case of the Silverstone 600w blowing up on people...
A quick google should help you find answers.
Depends on where you are located but Scythe, Sirfa, Sharkoon, Chieftec and some more lesser-known brands have one or more SFX(-L) units. Silverstone has them available worldwide though.
I just replied bencho's post:I may be mistaken but I think you guys misunderstood my "another", I was asking if the blowing up was common, not if sfx psu are common
If there are any other SFX/SFX-L options out there please do let me know!
Chiming in to say I'm excited to have a V5 on order.
Planning on an x99 build for a Hackintosh workstation:
CPU: 5820K
MOBO: ASRock x99 ITX
RAM: 32gb ECC
SSD: Samsung 950 NVMe + 2x 512gb 850 Evo
GPU: 980 Ti
PSU: Silverstone 600 SFX
980 Ti is for 3440 gaming after-hours
Struggling a bit on cooler choices. Top priority is quiet--I know silence is a bit much to ask for with such a small case with hungry components. That said, would like some room for modest overclocks on both the CPU and GPU.
It seems csd and a few others have had good air-cooling results with Noctua's C14 and the Arctic Accelero GPU cooler. Haven't seen many people go for the 2x 120 AIO watercooling with EVGA's Hybrid series and something like Corsair's H75.
Aside from noise/overclocking, my only lament for a pure air-cooled setup would be the loss of 3.5" (or 2x 2.5") drive mount on the case floor.
Any suggestions or input on the noise and performance of air vs AIO water cooling in this scenario? Would aftermarket fans help improve the noise profile while keeping temps down?
I just think black SATA cables would finish it off even better
For sure, trying to source some ultra slim sata cables, maybe like the blue silverstone ones ... but in black would be perfect. http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=445
Both NE(Item # 9SIA4TZ32A7221) and Amazon carry them in black.
I have those slim blue silverstone cables, they are junk.
So I'm pretty set on this being my next case (v5).
There's just no alternatives sadly.

Been adjusting this build as new things come out.
Just need recommendations on cable sets, PSU cables, etc to make cable management feasible.
Also CPU Coolers. Going for quiet. Is Air really quieter than a closed loop system? I probably won't be overclocking much if at all.
Assuming that you are a more or less average user you won't gain anything from an M.2-SSD and you shouldn't spend that much money on that item. I would rather spend on large SATA-SSD if you need that space for games.
So if you aren't a poweruser in the media creation department, you probably want to consider a 16GB kit and save a lot of money.
I assume that you want to overclock.
