I'm using an Ncase M1 and Samsung Evo m2 drives. The first is mounted under the chipset heatsink, 2nd is under the board. In a days usage my front drive has a max of 37 degrees whilst my rear one has a max of 47 degrees. Chipset has an average of 60 degrees.

Honestly, all this is nothing to do with the motherboard, it's the case. I'm running the Gigabyte x570 I and have no such issues.

Have you experimented to see if temperatures are any better if you remove the side panels? This sounds like you might have a little hot box where air is not able to escape quick enough, thus raising the ambient temperature inside your case. You say your case doesn't have fans, you should add...

Personally I think asking them to not include their small unobtrusive logo on the front of the case is like asking an artist to not sign their work. At the end of the day it's their brand. It would like asking Apple to not put their logo on their phones.

Hey sorry for the lack of reply! Temps were as you'd expect really, up to high 80s under load and it sounded like a jet engine! This card actually died on me and I ended up returning it for a refund. Replaced it with the Gigabyte Windforce 2080Ti and the cooling is a lot better in my opinion...

Right, quick update. Not good. A spare set of https://www.nzxt.com/products/aer-p lying around, so I took the shroud off again and the left fan to see if it would fit. It does fit, BUT the fan is prevented from spinning (whichever way you face it) by the bit of metal circled below: 92mm fans...

Sure here you go! I also took the shroud off, it was super simple, I think 5 screws. 3 of which were easily accessible and then 2 that were inbetween fan blades so a little more fiddly but not impossible. I don't know if this is the same as previous DUAL cards. The heatsink goes a little...

Update: It fits (without any modifications)

Hey apologies for the simplest of questions: Would this card fit inside the Ncase? 26.8cm x 11.4cm x 5.8cm https://www.asus.com/uk/Graphics-Cards/DUAL-RTX2080TI-O11G/ It looks like its over 2.5 slot, probably 2.75 but cannot be sure. Trying to work out this is like solving a riddle for me :(...

That Parcel Force change is now just over £11. Customs was the usual 20%.

Yeah I saw that too ... Is the thing ever gonna go into mass production or is it always gonna be this way?

Is anyone planning on selling their Ghost S1? If so, I'd like to buy - willing to pay a bit extra for it (+ the shipping)! Currently got parts in a Dan Case A4 v3, but to be honest I should have held out for the Ghost.
