NCASE M1 Build - X570-i with NF-A9

[Elthum]

Hello SFF community,

After wandering on the forum for a while, here is my first message ! I am glad to join it.

I am currently building my first SSF and it's a very challenging job. I like it ! I am struggling to install the NF-A9 into a NCASE M1 6.1 with a X570-I MOBO. It fits quite perfectly, however I am afraid that it may block the VRAM ventilo. I would like some feedback about this ? What do you think ?

For your information, my processor is a Ryzen 3600 with et Noctua C14S.

Here is some pictures :


Thanks in advance for your help !

I don't see any problem here. What kind CPU cooler do you use? If you use NH-U9S, you can attach the 92mm fan on the cooler and use push and pull setup instead of mounting fan on the case.

It will reduce the fans efficiency, but probably won't be a problem. I say try it, and monitor your VRM temps under full synthetic load.

EDIT: Wait....a 3600? You're fine. The VRM fan is there for when you're pulling power for 16 cores and 32 threads. 6/12 is nothing for it.

Thanks for your feedbacks. I'll monitor it but as Revenant said, I have a 3600 ! This should be OK but I had a doubt.

Liyi0522 I use a C14S. It fits very well !

I have just finished to assemble all the build. I am going to benchmark my stuff.
