2023-04-10: M1EVO ready!
M1EVO is production ready. We are preparing to launch this month. This is contingent on our supply chain's capacity to fulfill outstanding FormD T1 orders.We are also in sync with YouTubers for review and plan to ship some units to members of SFF Guru before others to collect feedback.
From left to right, M1 Classic, M1EVO Angled, M1EVO Round. Also added FormD T1 V2.0 Silver for size reference.
| There have been a lot of questions about triple rad setups in Discord, so here is what I would recommend, but YMMV: |
| mITX mobo + SFX-L + WC GPU | mATX mobo + SFX-L + WC GPU (sensitive to MoBo RAM height) |
| 1. Top or Bottom: Alphacool 240 ST20 / XSPC TX240 + Arctic P12 Slim / Noctua A12x15 | 1. Top or Bottom: Alphacool 240 ST20 / XSPC TX240 + Arctic P12 Slim / Noctua A12x15 |
| 2. Top or Bottom: Alphacool 280 ST20 / XSPC TX240 + Arctic P14 Slim / Arctic P12 Slim / Noctua A12x15 | 2. Top or Bottom: Alphacool 240 ST20 / XSPC TX240 + Arctic P12 Slim / Noctua A12x15 |
| 3. Side: most 280 RAD up to 45mm thick with 30mm thick fans. | 3. Side: most 240 RAD up to 45mm thick with 30mm thick fans. |
| Tubing and cables are going to be very, very difficult. This type of setup is NOT for beginners or intermediaries. This is guru territory. Before attempting this, please try mATX Mobo + ATX PSU + dual 240mm RAD as a transition challenge. |
| Given the difficulty, I am debating whether I should even include this in the spec sheet. |
2023-03-01: M1EVO Side Panel Survey!
The only unknown in the way of M1EVO launch is the Steel Mesh Side Panel. So we would like to ask the community for feedback.The current M1EVO default Steel Mesh Side Panel, despite being 1mm thick like FormD T1, still has a jello-like pop. Here is a video of the problem - .
We can either 1) delay M1EVO by 45 days to fix the mold. 2) launch mid March. Please give us your feedback by voting 1) or 2) by voting on our discord channel.
**Regarding the Aluminum Mesh Panels for M1EVO, we are not able to manufacture it atm because it's thickness to width ratio exceeds current manufacturing capabilities.
2022-11-27: Testing configs before we finalize the spec.
We know someone will try this (*dual 280 HWL 280GTS on 3-Slot MSI Suprim X GPU), so we wanted to test it first., so we wanted to test it first. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/cXNrA7a.jpg[/IMG])
2022-11-20: M1EVO Interest Check | Survey is live (URL).
2022-10-23: Testing an air-cooled build with 30XX GPU + 4090FE.
We have not received the 4090 GPUs yet, so test-fitting Thermalright SS135 on Noctua A12x25R + MSI 3070 Suprim X + ATX PSU. FWIW, Micro-ATX motherboards will fit, and there is space for 25mm thick fans between the Top Panel and GPU.[/URL]
4090 FE *could fit via direct contact with minor tweaks to the design and a custom 12P GPU cable. But, of course, this will also depend on the back of the motherboard.
2022-10-17: M1EVO is 40XX friendly.
Most people would agree that 40XX GPUs are big, so we made the necessary changes. As a result, M1EVO should support all of the 4090 GPUs and most 40XX GPUs without a PCIe Riser.
A list of updates:
1. M1EVO production unit has arrived
2. We are still waiting for a few 4090 AIB GPUs to arrive
3. We will test the fit and thermal of the bigger 4090 AIB GPUs
4. We will send the production unit for review
5. Then start IC or preorder on ncases.com
2022-09-28: M1EVO updated for 40XX GPUs.
Thanks to those who voted on the Discord poll about volume vs. compatibility.We have been busy tweaking the M1EVO for 40XX. At this moment, the 40XX GPUs that we know the dimensions for, should fit.
We expect to have the latest prototypes in two weeks, and if everything works, we plan to launch shortly after.
2022-08-28: M1EVO is almost here.
In the image below, from left to right, T1 V2, M1EVO, M1 Classic V6.1.The final specs will depend on the new Nvidia 40XX GPU and their AIB partner GPUs. Because Nvidia Founders Edition GPUs tend to be smaller than the AIB partner GPUs, we plan to finalize the specs when the GPU spec is confirmed.
Highlights:
1. Smaller
2. Better Compatibility
3. Better Build Quality
4. Better Price
5. Working on Better Availability
2022-07-23: Updating or, more appropriately speaking, modernizing the M1 Classic.
Many of you guys are familiar with CNC machining on high-end mechKB. However, traditional cases made from thin metal sheets feel outdated and cheap compared to CNC machining.Following the FormD T1 project, M1 is modernizing to CNC, and we are calling it the M1EVO.
We finished teaser renderings. We will provide more information later.
