    SFF.Network Streacom Launches the DA2

    My experience having an i7 9700k Stock in the case with a noctua u9s. Temperatures often reached 80 plus and encountered throttling. I've tried various fan and cooler rotations with little effect. Undervolting helps, but the accumulation of the heat over time worsens over the aluminum frame and...

    SFF.Network Streacom Launches the DA2

    Out goes the DA2, in comes the Lian Li TU150 Slightly larger, but the CPU temps have been a dream. Build quality is worse, but hey. Can't have it all.

    Sounds to me like you are shorting out the mobo somehow. As this post has been a while, did you fix it and what was the problem?

    NCASE M1 V6 GPU Compatibility List

    Thanks for the response. A bit disappointing to be honest, it looks like an awesome case to use. I so much regret getting this behemoth of a GPU

    NCASE M1 V6 GPU Compatibility List

    I've got an old gen question as couldn't find an answer myself. I'm the not so proud owner of an EVGA 1080ti FTW3 which is specced to be 299.72x142.69 and for width simply "Dual Slot" by EVGA themselves. I know that this card wasn't compatible with earlier versions of the NCase M1 as the power...

    I wonder if you can do a vertical gpu mount and a AIO horizontal on the bottom ... And then I think that don't really want to invest more money in this and that's that.

    I fished mine out of the closet (had it on pause for few months) and sympathize with the hating part. Something always doesn't work well. Did you switch cases in the end? PS: I'm selling mine (Europe local), searching for something to host the massive 1080ti FTW3 and the stupid heat monster...

    SFF.Network Streacom Launches the DA2

    If you put low power components, CPU, GPU and leave the brackets free of fans, cooling, etcetera, there will be plenty of space to shove all the drives you like. Using the PSU bracket you can attack 3 HDD or 5 SDD, that leaves the side and bottom brackets. Leaving the GPU out should open up...

    SFF.Network Streacom Launches the DA2

    It's a risky business for such a costly case, mate. By specification, my FTW3 should have fitted fine, but it was almost a no go. Looking at images online, my guess will be again a no, but it is just that. Only a guess. I'll check the vertical clearance that the card has downwards, but note...

    No, the frame of the case will obstruct the excess verticle size even if you decide to remove the dust filters and their acrylic brackets. Most likely won't be able to insert it in the PCE slot for a few millimeters

    Aren't you the one to get the easy way out... But not soo fast. There are a few other options to try: Change the cooler Try to improve airflow over the mobo heatsinks Change the Case Change the CPU :)

    SFF.Network Streacom Launches the DA2

    I've gotta say, definitely like the looks of this case, and the two bottom fans will sure help with the 80+ degrees GPU. I'm not sure how the air will flow in it though. And looking from the back bottom and top it feels unfinished, massive gaps on the gpu slots, massive top and bottom grates...

    1. Remove bottom dust filter, it's a major choke and it helps 2. I haven't tried it personally cause in my case there isn't that much space (GPU is properly massive but wanted to do so and i believe it should help. Position another fan to move around the stale hot air produced by the card...

    Slimmer than the Noctua, but kinda the same performance. It would help if the mobo has some compatibility issues with the U9S. On another topic I'm unhappy to report that i've started to give up on the DA2 and looking up other case options that can house the FTW3 with better cooling performance.

    SFF.Network Streacom Launches the DA2

    There are a number of threads, pretty much everywhere, referring to faulty or failing 2080tis. I don't know what NVIDIA did but this 2000 generation is not only a complete ripoff but also of a pretty shady quality. I think I'll stick to 1080Ti for the foreseeable future, currently searching for...
