    Other What's on Taobao

    Yeah I agree, they really should have added the option to mount matx as well, and perhaps atx psu as the case clearly has the room for it. But this would probably limit the airflow of the two 120mm fans at the front. Nevertheless an interesting case indeed. Bugs me a bit to know that this case...

    Does anyone know a thing or two about this case I found on Ali? Can't seem to find a single review or build in the wild :D https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002798108841.html Looks to be around 21L in volume. Similar to Ncase, but around 5cm taller and longer (fits 240aio on top & longer...

    @TaylorChiller I see there are a few cases popping up on IG & reddit, great too see. But I really hope you send a review version to OptimumTech (check youtube). He will do a propper review and give tonns of feedback. 👍

    NCASE M1 V6 GPU Compatibility List

    So is the 3080 TUF from Asus the only card that fits with a deshroud?

    NCASE M1 V6 GPU Compatibility List

    Is it safe to assume that none of the hybrid cards would fit in the Ncase?

    AiO radiator fan intake or exhaust?

    I‘m a bit curious as to what temps you guys are getting with the side mounted AIO. I have my currently mounted at the top, also as intake, and GPU as exhaust.

    I would not have any issues with "made-to-order", but please keep in mind there are some of us who live abroad (Europe for example). So shipping & customs will increase the total cost by a lot. ;)

    Why? The case will support both sizes the way it is now... https://smallformfactor.net/forum/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FMXSRRPY.jpg&hash=0787e3cfe7bb5c2f49146bb2e502f4c1

    One idea could be to use hot-swap sockets for the power switch, instead of soldering it to the wires directly. This way we can choose our own switch-type :) I've done this to two of my mech-keebs and it is a awesome feature to have.

    My new Ncase M1 build - see it here!

    Don't know much about this since I have a v5 but do you really need the two 15mm fans under the GPU? Doesn't the v6 have better airflow for GPU?

    GTX 1080 cooling issue

    Allright, I installed GPUTweakII from Asus (instead of using MSI Afterburner), and it allowed me to set a proper fan curve on the external fan headers. Now I have fans running at 36% on idle, inaudible and keeping my GPU temps in low 30's ? Very happy with the result ? Will also test flipping...

    GTX 1080 cooling issue

    After several testing I actually do agree with you, on high load it is decent, and while gaming it almost never goes above 60C and stays more quiet than before. It was just the ide temps that kinda put me off, compared to what people usually report when they first use the Accelero III. One...

    GTX 1080 cooling issue

    Thanks for all the responses. I've just done the conversion to Accelero III on my "Asus ROG Strix 1080 Ti Gaming", and I'm kinda worried. I do believe that Accelero III is a good cooler and this is probably something I have messed up or not done correctly. As I mentioned my build is a bit...
