Yes, it's bowed when it lies flat, unfortunately. I think I may have gotten a lemon since the rest of the case is fantastic!
I've sent them an email, thanks.
Well, at the back is just the motherboard, so there's nothing pushing there, and at the front are wires, but they aren't really pushing that much/at all (sort of like soft foam). Definitely not enough to bend metal.
@Necere I've notice my side panels is starting to curve rather a lot. It wasn't that big a problem at first, but lately, it's been getting worse I think.
Any help/idea who to contact?
I'll see if I can take some decent-ish photos when I get back. But I can tell you the Flare X (which are 40mm tall) have no problem whatsoever sitting under it. In fact, there's a few millimeters to spare too! So you can probably comfortably fit in a 42mm one even. I've heard some people put in...
My GPU temps (ended up using the 2070S) were really good (I had the dust filter removed): 64C stock, 70C overclocked. But it is quite loud when overclocked (but I don't mind, since I usually game with headphones on). It's a good idea to undervolt it a bit. Then it drops to like 58 or less while...
It's pretty easy to get in, just have to remember to plug in all the cables first, since you won't be able to after. I had some trouble aligning it with the bracket at first, but it's probably because it's my first build!
I'm thinking of going without fans for now and get some 15mm ones if I need to.
It's the 3200Mhz CL14 one. It says height of 40mm, which is exactly the clearance of the C14S I think.. so not sure if it'll fit?
I can't get easy access to the newer Aorus monitors here, and this one seems pretty...
Okay, so I've gone and bought all the parts now:
Here's my full build! (Still waiting on a few parts to be shipped here)
PCPartPicker Part List
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core Processor ($774.89 @ shopRBC)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C14S 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler ($106.16 @ Amazon Canada)...
Alright, I'll go with that instead! Do you know if I would have to move the PSU to the ATX position? Also, should I add another fan on the side of the C14S (if I could)?
Would adding some 25mm fans on the bottom of it help? Or should I try to stretch for a 2070S?
I'm a bit scared of doing too...
Which one would you recommend? I'm thinking either Deepcool Captain EX, Corsair H100i Pro or something in that range. Also, I'm rather afraid of leaks and if/what to do should that happen.. Would a C14S perform worse in the Ncase M1?
How did you fit the Strix? Because on the GPU compatibility...
First time builder! I really want to make sure I haven't screwed some dimensions/thing up with my list of parts.. Here it is!
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock TF 67.8 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler
Mobo: Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming Mini...
I'm not sure if someone already asked this, but reading through 1000+ posts is rather tedious. But are we able to fit fans on the bottom half of the side panels (where the new airflow holes were added for v.6)? If so, how large? And how dependent on the GPU is it?
Is it possible to be able to get one of these if we order like the upcoming glass panel or ODD top panel? (Like include it in the order so shipping isn't insane?)
Totally get why it's not feasible to give everyone replacements.
Great, thanks! The SF750 is about $5 more here, so I figured it would be more safe for any possible future upgrades/things. The GPU seems to be 40mm thick, so I thought the fans would work.
Thanks! I think mine is the 2-slot (40mm) version. Do you know if the 25mm fans will fit?
I've recently placed in a preorder for the case. Really excited!
Wondering if someone could help me out and make sure I'm not botching some part of my build. Or getting some sizes wrong. Or any recommendations for that matter.

Hey! Just pre-ordered my first SFF case and really excited! But I'd like some help deciding parts/cables and things.

So, in terms of portability...
