Decided to keep track of my Ncase M1 build on here, if interested feel free to check it out!

Looking good, I thought the Gigabyte GPU would fit in there, didn't think it would be that difficult glad to see you got it installed. Really curious how cool the card runs with it's fan design.
I have a MSI aero 1070 with an EVGA hybrid kit (same as the seahawk) and it runs very cool when used as an intake. When gaming I don't recall seeing a temp over 45C while running stock clocks/voltages. Only problem with this is it dumps all the GPU heat into the case which with my setup makes for a hotter then normal running CPU and mobo. I would like to try reversing the fans and making it an outtake and see what that does to GPU temps.Guys.. I remember Linus saying to stick with reference(or close to) designs as much as possible? Open air cards might overheat the system..
I went with the msi Seahawk.. I will report back to headquarters once I got the Ncase

As far as open vs blower style I can only speak to my experience with the MSI aero and a R9 290 Tri-X which was a hot running card and not a direct comparison but the open cooler card dumped heat into my case which caused warm temps like the hybrid kit does but with more fan noise. The MSI aero ran hot and throttled but I couldn't tell you if that was because it was a shitty blower cooler or what.
I was just about to purchase the Asrock Z270 m-itx when I remembered that one user had found that his D9L interfered with his memory. Unfortunately I can't find that post any longer so I cannot confirm the height of his memory. I'm going to be using Corsair LPX which only needs 31mm of clearance. Based on my pixel counting, it looks like the D9L has 34mm of clearance. The new Z270 board also has about 1mm of additional space between the memory and the CPU, but I don't know if that is enough. I would just get the ASUS Z270I ROG M-ITX, but they have not released it yet. If someone could point me in the direction of that post (I believe there was a picture of the memory pressing against the cooler fins), that would be great. Otherwise any other thoughts are of course welcome.
This technical drawing at the Noctua website should help: http://noctua.at/en/nh-d9l/faq
Thanks - I looked at this already, unfortunately they do not have the height to the fins.
Based on my pixel counting though, it looks like there should be at least 38mm of clearance... I'm really not sure how the other forum member was hitting his memory, especially because the cooler is 95x95mm.
I was just looking again at that drawing of the D9L and decided to compare it to the U9S. Both are 95 mm x 95 mm, but with the U9S this includes a fan attached to the fins right beside the memory slots. On my son's Asus Z170I Pro Gaming that fan is right beside the closest RAM slot. With the D9L, these dimensions do not include a fan so the fan will be above the memory. So, the clearance might only be 25 mm under the fan, as per the Noctua drawing, unless it is shifted higher.
The D9L has the fan in the center though - the second fan I was going to put on the rear of the fan (so other side from the memory). I would think the D9L would work then, right? Certainly I don't see how the cooler fins would be pressed against the memory.
This thread has been a great source of information for my still-in-progress build, but at least I can use the computer now. I don't know why everyone complains about cable management, just let everything hang out

That looks so cool!!! Your CPU waterblock looks awesome. I love the white radiator...very uniqueThis thread has been a great source of information for my still-in-progress build, but at least I can use the computer now.

Just curious what size tubing that is?This thread has been a great source of information for my still-in-progress build, but at least I can use the computer now. I don't know why everyone complains about cable management, just let everything hang out
Great photos! I am amazed how people fit the hoses of one liquid cooling loop into the M1, let alone two of them.
So the radiators fans are exhausting through the radiators and therefore no intake fans, right?

The radiators fans are exhausting through the radiators and there are no intake fans. Have you run any stress tests yet?

Nicely done Haxteen.
I am having problems with my build. One 240 radiator is simply not enough, after 30 min. of gaming, my water temperature is up to 50 C! I was thinking I would probably need to add the back 92 mm radiator at some point, but I don't think that will be enough. I will probably have to move the pump outside - attach it to the back, and have another 240 on the side. Kind of disappointed about that. I guess I was expecting too much from water cooling, being my first time using it.

Hi guys,
I'm currently planning my first build into the ncase m1 v5 this weekend.
Here are the parts:
* i7 6700k
* asus z170i pro
* 16gb of RAM
* M2 500go SSD
* Reference GTX980
* Cooling: noctua U9S with 2 fans + 1*S12A PWM (right side of the panel, facing the PSU)
* Corsair SF600 with fan turned inside the case to benefit from side fan
I'm used to mini itx, i've built several computers in the Node 304. However, is there anything specific I should know regarding the building experience?
More specifically:
1. Can I install everything on the motherboard (heatsink included,GPU excluded), before screwing it into the case?
2. Do I put in the PSU before or after the motherboard?
3. Is it possible to stack the PSU cables behind the front panel before routing them in the components? I don't think I've seen anyone do this
Thanks

Hi,
My build went well. Had some trouble with the motherboard, the latest BIOS (3016) does not seem to be very polished.
My only issue so far is the power LED. It's blinking blue instead of being solid blue. I did not plug the power LED.
Any ideas?
Thanks
All I can think of, and I am sure you checked this, is that the Power LED connector is plugged into the HD LED pins.
Watercooling isn't really that great in the NCASE due to space limitations; it's mostly for looks. Cheaper/easier to just go with air or AIO.
Ok I have 1 240mm Black Ice 240 GTS radiator cooling a OCed 6600k and a GTX 1070. Max temps on the CPU is 50C, max on the 1070 is 42C. How is that not great? I haven't seen an air cooled setup come close to those kind of temps.
Yeah I did, not sure what's going on, it was solid blue before. It's blinking regurlarly, as you would expect in a standby state.
So my options for increased cooling capacity are:
1. Move pump/res outside case, and attach to back. Buy another 240 rad for the side mounted location inside case.
2. Buy a 92 mm (40 mm thick) rad for inside, back of case, and hope that is enough extra cooling.
3. Attach a 240 rad outside the case somewhere... maybe on top?
Any other options/advice?
My goal is silent and reasonably cool, i.e Delta T ~ 10-15 °C for coolant.
