    Help with first ever SFF Build, NCase M1 V6 Air-cooled

    Hmm well on page 19 of the online manual for the Aorus x570-i it says it produces a single beep when there are no problems. It doesn't mention anything about what it does when there is an issue so it could be that no beep means there is a problem.

    Defective ram or sockets can prevent POST. Try each stick individually and in different sockets. Borrow RAM if that doesn't work. Another possibility is a bad PSU. Troubleshooting can be a real PITA when you don't have spare testing parts so you just need to keep at it.

    Ncase M1 - bottom fan spacers

    The EVGA 2060 XC heatsink has a bunch of metal protrusions. Found that out after I printed one spacer, but thankfully I don't need much cooling for this card.

    I had a Seasonic x760 a few years back that had some coil whine. When I brought it in to the store the employee had to strain to hear it with the store's ambient noise, but it was driving me nuts at home. My replacement (same model) had no problem so there certainly is some variance between...

    You can just mount the cooler fan a little lower. The cable can then go above the fan without obstructing the top panel. I have the the same mobo + cooler combo so it works for sure. I chose the 2nd shipping option and live in BC and my silver m1 was delivered a week ago on Monday Nov 30th. It...

    You can use washers if you're having trouble with the screws being too small.

    Check out the first post for the FAQ. Orders have been shipped out so you're going to have to wait unless you buy from someone who already has one.

    When I'm sleeping in an otherwise dead silent room even decent fans running at 1200rpm are loud enough to annoy me so there's not much to do about that. If you're running a significant load, an AIO will be quieter since the fans can run at a lower speed so it really depends on your situation...

    Gigabyte Aorus X570 & C14S - top panel issue

    I remember that post on Reddit. The OP of that post did a follow-up post yesterday in a bigger case and someone else mentions that they got the C14S to fit on the Aorus in the M1. They had to ask Noctua for another bracket that let them switch the orientation of the cooler. Here's a link to the...

    A 240mm AIO is indeed the best cooling for your CPU. The performance trade-off vs a good air cooler is that an AIO is louder during low cpu usage because the pump is always on. As you've probably heard, Noctua PWM fans are fantastic. You can replace your CPU cooler fans with them for better...

    Yeah you could certainly try running one stock especially since the V6 side panel is much more generous with ventilation.

    3000 series hasn't been overclocking too well just so you know. It might be worth considering the 3600 instead since 4k gaming performance differences between the two are negligible. U9S is the least fussy to install, but it's cooling performance is significantly less than a C14S or 240mm AIO...
