Hello everyone,

So here's me asking our wonderful community some questions that I have of this case, which I've recently really been drawn back to, due to it's small footprint, yet not being as extremely compact as the Dan A4.

This is mostly for those who obviously has or have had this case, and also has experience with the questions at hand.

1. Is it worth putting like dual Noctua NF-F12's in the bottom as intakes, that blows directly up onto your GPU? Or is it more of a case of diminishing return, where there's little to no point in having fans there at all?

2. Does anyone have the Noctua NH-U9S chromax.black cooler? How does it fare? I've never really used an air cooler before and planning on using this on my 3700X, non overclocked, just at barebone stock. Although I've reached that point in life where I just want my PC to work and enjoy it. Hence why I'd like an air cooler, which eliminates a lot of poential failure factors. The only thing that can break in this regard are the fan(s), which is an easy replacement. Now I don't distrust Noctua, far from it, hence why ordering this cooler. But just thought of asking to see if anyone has any experience with it.

3. Does anyone know of any dust filters for the side panels of the NCASE M1? I know there's one included with the V6.1 on the bottom and on the internal side bracket. But I'm thinking of maybe getting some custom ones for the entire side panel ventilation parts.

4. Is there any point in putting another Noctua NF-F12 on the internal side bracket, as intake for the cooler or is this more or less pointless?

5. Maybe a dumb one to ask, but I do it anyway, since I have no experience with ASRock. I'm debating between the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING motherboard and the ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac. Now I don't like the active cooling fan on the ASUS board, that small fan just creeps me out for some reason, the same way those tiny chipset fans on the previous gen motherboards.

I do like the clean serial 4 port USB on the back of the ASrock one as well, in comparison to the nuked I/O on the ASUS. I mean, was someone drunk when they designed it? Why does no manufacturer just put the USB ports togheter instead of putting them all over the place?.

Thanks everyone!

Best regards,
Dawelio
