A new trend is coming, connectors on the back of motherboards for a no-cables look. Maybe think the A4-Nano with that in mind? I plan to get a new system when new CPU/motherboards will arrive and had hope the A4-Nano would be in the list of possibility but it seems to be still at the concept...

Nice! I've replied to ASUS. Geesh, costly! I guess I will have to consider an AMD alternative too, I haven't looked at AMD for a long time but it seems they are in the game... and quite cheaper. Plan was to build 2 computers for my sons, maybe i7-11700K or the one below so I'll have to find out...

Well that could explain the skip... are my sons willing to wait that far for building their first PC? I would not bet on that.

Dang, I've read ASUS was skipping this gen for ITX, hope it's not true and/or they will change their mind soon. Maybe a comment here can help?

But it seems to me that with the major changes to airflow, it's not totally a V5 continuation. It's hardly possible now to have an air path with the vent holes everywhere. Is the trick now to just blow air on CPU/GPU heatsink? I always thought having an IN and an OUT was the best.

Ouch :-/ looks like I'm a bit late, game over I guess. :-( Are you sure you don't have one brand new silver left waiting in a corner?

From this source, U9S seems quieter...

Hmmm... I only run blower cards so exhaust is 100% on the back of the case. Video card facing down, of course fresh air is coming in from under which is great. I see no reasons for such panels with blower cards. Are both sides getting this new panel? Only for the look I would guess so, otherwise...

No I haven't delidded, I wrote about that. I could get better temps by delidding and watercooling but was not interested... as long as temps are within the limit I'm fine and all this to get maybe what, 200 MHz more? Nah... :)

Ok will add pics. I know it may not be the best but I already did all the works on my website, which is not commercial by the way. I posted the same on PCPartPicker.

I've completed a M1 build and exit of CPU heatsink is duct to the back and video card is blower type so no warm air recirculation. This mean iIntake air would normally comes from everywhere but I added a single intake fan and that way I'm able to filter dust. Maybe this can give you some ideas.

Greetings, I've now completed my build and while working on it I was writing the build log on a dedicated page on my website. Have a look if the M1 is the case you plan to get. My signature will tell you more about components but first I need to qualify to edit a signature! Should be fine in a...
