I've just purchased my x99e-itx and I'll be pairing it with my current 6950x in my brand new to me ncase m1, picking up a u9i from a friend. Any idea what temps will be like? It's lived it's life up until now either on thick 360mm custom loop or an nh-d14 and I'm apprehensive as to my cooling situation.

I'd expect it to work - I ran an overclocked 95w Ryzen CPU (probably closer to 120w with the OC) under a NH-D9L for a while in my NCase M1. Depending on ambients and if i was loading the GPU or not (R9-270x), I saw a max of 60c-70c under max CPU use

Thanks for the confirmation, hopefully a dual fan tower plus 92mm redux exhaust will keep the cpu chilly
