Problem I have an NCASE M1, with the ASUS STRIX X570-i. I initially bought a 3900x and recently upgraded to a 5950x as the price on Zen 3 came down. Pretty happy with the upgrade, however, I ran into the dreaded 1900 MHz FCLK black-hole which is common with the 5950x where my system won't post...

@optimumtech seems to show the reference 7900 XTX fitting just fine with a recommendation of 180 PCIe power adapters.

I am also interested in a kit for this case, I have the same SFX PSU as @Kanelbulle

The credit card bill was due today, so the system has been paid for in full and so far I couldn't be happier with the decision to go SFF for an AMD gaming rig. I took the opportunity to order 4x Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM, now on their way from Austria. I need a few cables for Display and USB hub...

@Jetpaction thanks for the info. I did consider the bracket, however doing a little bit of searching before the build (I'm unable to find the reference right now), allegedly the bracket doesn't fit with this 2.7 slot card, even in the lowest setting. Considering the front IO is struggling for...

So with a rather lousy photo, this is where I'm at. I might try to route the power cable for the Kraken X52 behind the PSU as it's going to be blocking airflow onto the NVME/PCH sink from the radiator. It's such a long cable with multiple fan ports to only be plugged in via SATA for power, it...

@zoon Great photos. That's strange with the PCH fan, I did read in the manual it get's pretty fast, but it'd be nice to do something about it. With amount of exhaust you have happening around the CPU heatsink and rear of the case, I'd almost be inclined to unplug it and see if you can monitor...

January 16th-21st batch just arrived on my doorstep in Brisbane, Australia. Now I need to be patient until after work before I can start building. Edit: It really is surprising how light the package is and how small the footprint is. Great job @Necere and Co. I should probably unbox it to make...

For January 16th-21st shipping buyers, my tracking update is now saying the case has arrived in Australia and is awaiting clearance in customs. Hopefully just a few days to go now :)

@Jetpaction Unfortunately for item 3, I'm going to be running linux. From my research undervolting the GPU won't be possible as it's either not exposed by the nvidia driver or the tooling doesn't exist. There are also potential issues with things like not all fans being controllable by the...

Thanks for everyone's feedback, I feel like I'm headed down the right path with the build. @JoShmo this sounds like a pretty similar fan setup to where I expect I'll end up and it's good to hear you have it running off the GPU directly. To be fair, I have substantial background noise in the...

After digging around a bit more, looking at this [ Watercooling The NCase M1 - Epic, or Average? ] video on Optimum Tech, it looks like he does have this kind of setup with 2x 120 MM fans in the bottom of the case. Question is, which way are they blowing? ?

I have an Ncase M1 on the way and bought an Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 Super A8G to go in the build. I have checked this in the compatibility list, and it looks like it should just squeeze in by removing the front IO ports with the stock card fan assembly. For the rest of the system I have: Ryzen...

Me also, hopefully that means a delivery end of next week in Australia. I have had all the other system parts sitting here for a couple of weeks, so I'm looking forward to the day it arrives.

Sweet Mercy. I managed to get an order in. Thanks @Necere and NCASE for doing another round sooner! Now the patient waiting game.
