Ncase M1 - Fully Custom

[Nasp]

Much thanks to Josh from NFC for the window side panel. All other work was done by me. There's even a drain port hidden behind the front panel.

Hopefully @Necere will make the Ncase M5 so I can do an ATX custom loop inside it.

Here's the build specs:

* Ncase M1 V5
* EVGA Z270 Stinger
* i7-7700k (delidded)
* 16 GB 3000Mhz Blue LED Vengeance RAM
* 512GB m.2 NVME SSD - Samsung SM951
* 1 TB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
* Corsair SF600 PSU
* All Noctua slim fans
* Nvidia GTX 1080 founders with EKWB copper (DVI removed) * EK-DDC pump with upgraded housing (for better heat dissipation supposedly)
* EK Evo Supremacy Acetal CPU block
* 92mm rad - unknown manufacturer since I bought it used (think it is Hardware Labs)
* 240mm slim rad from Hardware Labs
* 12mm OD Bitspower fittings - black sparkle
* Alphacool bulkhead fitting


Notes on the build:

* was able to keep both the front IO (USB 3.0 and mic and headphone jack)
* put in a drain port in the front using special Bitspower (T) and Alphacool (bulkhead) fittings
* the only cables not either sleeved or shortened were the USB 3.0, Audio IO, and Darkside LED splitter
* All Noctua fans were spray-painted to match color scheme
* GTX 1080 wouldn't fit with the DVI connector so I took it out. Photos can be found Here
* I originally had a 1080 TI, but I swapped it for a 1080 because I didn't like how hot my CPU was getting. Now temps on CPU are reaching mid 70s on load and GPU is at 60 at load.
* only thing not done by me was the custom window panel. Josh from NFC systems helped me with that.

I'm happy to answer any other questions.

That's a stuffed case right there ! Amazing work ! How are the fans on the bottom radiator able to cool with so little room for air to actually move ?

Sweet build.

How are temps?

Did you use custom bracket to mount that pump-res combo?

Awesome build. Very nice bends and the color is great.

Temps are decent. Mid 70s on 7700k delidded and 1080 doesn't go past 60.

No special bracket for the pump. Just had to drill some holes.
