Hello,

Finally got all the parts and have the time to build this. Unfortunately I can not get the NH-C14S to fit. When I attempt to install the HSF the fins just above and to the side of the heatpipes run into the power cord end that is screwed into the back. This is with an MSI B450 motherboard. There is just no way to bend this b/c the end is pretty thick and that's where it runs into the HSF. Not sure how to get this to work, any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Unscrew the Ncase M1 plate logo and swap their locations.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you mount the fan underneath? I have the NF-A12x25 and it came with the adapter and I can get it on but there is a gap on one side, not sure if it's a big deal but i did notice yours looked flush up against the fins. Thank you!

I set the fan on the interior lip of the C14S and then use the pressure from the PSU Cable extension to hold it in place.

You can find more details here.
