Is anyone using the Corsair SF450 or SF600 with this board in an NCASE? I'm going to switch to one of the Corsair models from my Silverstone, but it sounds like the included cables need some upgrading. I'm trying to figure out what cable lengths will be needed.
I'm using an SF600 in my M1, and the cables are definitely long. They're flexible enough to work, but take up a lot of space, so I'll be making my own sometime in the nearish future. Not running the ASRock though, so my measurements will be different, except possibly PCI-E power.
Shortening the cables is a possibility if you don't mind the stiffness. The only cable that's annoying is the 24pin ATX, IMO.

Hi, im going to buy this mother to make the following rig:
asrock x99e-itx
6900k o 5960x not sure yet
980 strix (already have)
corsair vengeance 32gb ddr4 3200
samsung 950 pro 512gb m.2
corsair sf600
2 WD Black 4tb each
ncase m1
noctua d9dx 4i
noctua nf a9
2 noctua nf f12
Any suggestion will be appreciate?

Thanks. I think I'll build my own, and it sounds like if I plan on starting at the stock cable lengths and going from there I should be in good shape. Just wanted to make sure I shouldn't be accounting for extra cable length anywhere. I know with the SX500-LG the 24 pin cable was barely long enough to reach. The included 24 pin cable with both the SX500-LG and the SF600 is 300mm, but the smaller size of the SF600 should make the effective length a little longer.
I eventually gave up and now have a ncase m1 v4, sx500-lg, and sf600 sitting on the floor and put my itx system into a define nano s with a full sized atx psu.
I have both the Corsair SF600 and Silverstone SFX-L 500w. I had the Silverstone first, but the PSU wires would brush against the backside of my backplate-less GPU... I don't know if a GPU with a backplate would have even worked.
So I decided to get a Corsair SF600 since it's regular SFX sized. Everything fit better except the 24pin ATX mobo cable. That baaaaarely reaches, and it has to take the most direct path to do so.

Your last sentence is what I'm afraid is going to happen to me. I have so much planned for this case but I feel like I'm going to end up getting the Nano S just to avoid headaches.
There's not many headaches mate, you can even check the NCASE m1 compatibility excel document on their website and alot of users already input useful information as to what "fits" and what doesn't. Like anything in life, anything worth something requires energy to be input. It's worth it, vs. other "mITX" cases that are oversized, poorly engineered, and use ATX psus for mITX (what a waste of space):
Can anyone tell me the stock donation height?Have any of you guys installed the stock Dynatron cooler on the ASRock x99e ITX/ac and then removed the fan? I was wondering how you guys pried/took it off because It snapped on to some plastic (4) standoffs and it seemed pretty tight, so I think when I take it off to put my Noctua u9dxi4 I'm going to have to use alot of force or is there some method maybe to make this easier?
Can anyone tell me the stock donation height?
Thx man. Glad you could decipher my phone's autocorrect to mean dimension, lolOn the Asrock website's Specification section for the motherboard, is the following statement about the cooler:
This motherboard supports this free bundled CPU cooler (Dimension: 112.0 x 84.0 x 67.0 mm) or other CPU coolers for Narrow ILM (LGA 2011/LGA2011-v3 platform).
A review on a German website has detailed information about the cooler, a Dynatron R24. The review states that the fan is a 60 mm Top Motor, model DF126028BL-PWMG.
Here is Dynatron's webpage about the cooler: Dynatron | R24
This is a very freshly installed E5 2699 V4 Engineering Sample with 3.11 Beta BIOS (because it has turbo improvements) with a few of the usual performance measurers in play.

Best air - Noctua NHC14 /w Narrow ILM mount.
Best water... Probably subjective and dependent on the whole setup. I use a BitsPower monoblock/D5/Black Ice GTS240 after trying a range of different blocks, pumps and rads and found this to be my best config by far.
Is the NHC14 better than the NH U9DX i4?
Yes. The C14 is a larger cooler, and runs much quieter.
I can't see any reason to use the U9DX i4 unless it's sitting in a server (and server room)...
If you need to use the 3.5 inch drive cage on the front half of the side bracket this is not possible with the NH-C14. It is possible with all of the NH-U9 series of coolers.
Also, the NH-U9DX i4 comes with the mounting brackets for the narrow ILM socket which is on the Asrock X99 mini-ITX motherboard. If you want to use the NH-C14 with that socket you have to contact Noctua for the necessary mounting brackets, which they will send for free.
Are there any problems installing the C14? Can it be installed in any orientation?
I'm considering this board for the NCase M1 with a 6800K. It's amazing how much they crammed, though it's a bit of a waste of PCIe lanes. I don't really care about the DDR4 channels and I don't want them to go the SODIMM route as that will limit compatibility. The next iteration of this board will probably support 32GB sticks and that's plenty, dual vs quad-channel performance is hardly different. They need to get rid of the SATAe port, and add an additional M.2 port, maybe on the back of the board, and a Thunderbolt 3 connection. If they can cram the PCIe connections for all of those somewhere, but it's just a waste of PCIe lanes otherwise. And 2 Type-C ports where the Type-A are. Then there is very little compromise.
So I upgraded to bios version 1.5 and now I can't disable CSM and boot into Windows.
I'm using the Samsung 950 Pro and with CSM on it can take a longer to boot into Windows. I had it off before it, it would load Windows super fast. Now when I disable CSM, the boot override option that shows my 950 disappears and when I boot it just goes straight into the Bios everytime. Any ideas?
Guys, what are your thoughts on Corsair H75 with a single NF-F12 vs. a Noctua NH-U9DX i4 for this board? Which would cool better? I can't find decent comparisons online... I want to be able to push a 6800K to 4.2GHz with voltage under 1.3v and temperature under 90 C at load. I imagine noise would be comparable with 2 92mm NF-B9 fans vs. 1 120mm NF-F12 + H75 pump with fans running at 1000 RPM max. Any input is greatly appreciated!
I had the u9dxi4, I don't like alot of heat so I was doing around 4.0ghz with 1.060vcore and getting around 60-70C load while gaming/regular use, AIDA64 might have been a bit higher. I know that anything 1.1-1.2vcore would have brought it into the high 70C-80C load temp range using a stress test program, so I incredibly DOUBT you would get 1.3vcore unless you like 90C+ temperatures.
For a mild overclock its good, but I got rid of it and am now using the Corsair H105 in my NCASE m1. You just need to order the narrow iLM bracket from Astek (its on ebay too) and its the easiest install.
Easily doing 4.4-4.5ghz now with 1.160vcore but I'm sure I could hit 1.25vcore and maybe even a bit higher since my load temps are like 55C
