here you go:Thanks! I have no experience w/ the M1 but everyone so far said not possible. Very intrigued! How and where did you fit the rad(s)? Did you post images of your system somewhere?
here you go:
The M.2 board does not interfere with the fittins and there is enough room to take it out, with the fittins still in place
You need to mod the AM4-brackets of the pump to fit the motherboard, but not much of a problem.
The backplate of the motherboard intereferes with one of the sidepanel pins of NCases prior to v6
Bottom rad is not possible, correct. No concern to me. After the picture I installed an m.2 to pcie riser to put a 10gig network card in the third slot, so I couldn't fit a rad down there anyways.Thank you for sharing this! So this would have 240x120mm rad and 2x 120mm slim fans at the bottom? That is my concern.
Does this DTX part of the motherboard not interfere with that? I guess you have the rad mounted on the side, same as with an AIO?
I quite like the FrozenQ M1 reservoir, just googled it
Ok understood, thank you!
You can remove individual cables but then you will essentially have a hole at the front I/O. I finished my two builds in the M1 and have to say, while the case is very nice overall, the front-panel cables should be modular and the cables itself thinner, maybe even shorter. It was a bit of a pain to cable manage those. For the X570-I Strix, I did not want to give up USB-A, but I did not care for 3.5mm audio and since the board does not have a USB-C header, that one was not necessary. Would have been nice to remove audio and USB-C cables, keeping USB-A, and not having holes in the front.
Just build my pc this morning, and i completly agree with the cables being wayyy to thicccc. It was pretty difficult to get my fans and GPU in the underside of my case without those interfering with everything. But i didnt want to bend them to much because I was afraid to snap them off. Im thinking of completly removing the front IO when i upgrade my GPU, so i have a few months to decide if i want the front io or not. Modular would also be nice, because i dont use the USB-C and the headphone jack, and sometimes the usb 3.0, so removing those first two would help a lot with keeping everything a lot cleaner and building in the case a lot easier!
Have either of you seen any cases that come with thinner cables? AFAIK the cable thickness is pretty standard for the industry.
I did end up leaving them in there, and I did bend them quite a bit albeit carefully, nothing happened but ymmv. I routed them from front-middle to front-motherboardside, USB-C and USB-A up alongside the PSU, the audio straight through. I managed to fit all that AND an ASUS Strix 5700 XT GPU, no further mods to the case, but it was a bit of a pain getting it in there! Getting it out again is even worse. I had to lift up the GPU 2mm with little sticky pads from the front-IO so that the GPU fan does not interefere with the square Front-IO cable sockets. GPU is at a minimal angle, but without window - who cares.
No complaint at all, the case is fantastic, and the cables are standard there is no issue, the smaller the case, the more difficult it gets ofc, and idk if it would be easy enough / economically sensible to get modular cables, maybe an optional front-IO panel metal bracket with only USB-A for those w/o USB-C header and without the need for 3.5mm would be interesting, but not sure how many care for that in the end.
... Gotta be patient but I want those headers.
