i think its the reference design. this one to be precise. this is the first time ive bought an amd card so idk how their naming convention works. but a lot of manufactures seem to be using the same heat sink and shroud.

XFX 7900XT fitment confirmed. get to keep my noctua slim fans in the bottom (with a mm or two of clearance) and my front i/o ports.

i dont think its going to fit without serious mods. water block is a must. power replacing the power header with a straight header of correct current rating (that is important) and you need clearance in the water block. power requirements will likely be your biggest issue. i somehow doubt an sfx...

you can get cad files for the whole case on grabcad. https://grabcad.com/library/ncase-m1-v6-1 not sure if the bracket is included.

this gave me the best results. using a c14s at 90-degrees rotation. i didnt like having the cpu cooler fan in a pull configuration. realized that if i flipped the rear fan, i could push air from 2 sides of the cooler and pull from the other 2 sides giving the airflow through the cooler a...

i did finally get it to work. the process involved the separate am4 mounting kit to enable 90 degree rotation. but the heat pipes were poking my video card. i used some kapton tape as a temp fix. the 1060 i was using at the time didnt have a backplate, but i had a 2070 super that did, and there...

given the fitment issues i have with the nh-c14s, this might be a better option for my build.

did this cooler block the slots for the side case fans? i got a couple slim fans. i actually have 4 in total but i may have to remove the bottom ones to fit a video card. im still trying to get a 3070, but many have huge coolers that just wont fit. i had an otb to buy a 3 slot card but it was...

initially i bought a noctua c14s. what i did not know is that this mobo seems to have a higher than usual cpu socket that causes some fitment issues with the top panel. as much as i like the c14s, its just not working with this mobo. you can get it in if you take the top panel off (i printed new...

looks like my cable's were not seated properly in their connectors due to interference from the cpu cooler. i think im gonna need to swap it for an aio, i like it but its just causing so many fitment issues.

i did notice the front panel wouldnt charge my headphones. but my build is still mostly incomplete. i blame it on the oversized power supply currently in the case causing unwanted flexion on the header. i got a corsair 750w sfx supply coming to replace it though. while im in there il get out the...

is the header on the right way? leds are diodes after all.

i had fitment issues with the Noctua NH-C14s when using the included am4 kit with my 5800x on an MSI MPG B550I GAMING EDGE MAX WIFI mobo. the cooler would protrude from the top of the case by a few mm. good thing the top panel comes off. i had to 3d print me some custom retention mechanisms to...
