Hello all,

finally i have started yesterday to move all my components (and swap some of them with smaller versions) from by BIG ATX Case to my new NCAse M1.

Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 3700X
CPU Waterblock: Alphacool Iceblock XPX

Mainboard: ASUS ROG Strix B550-i Gaming
Storage: 2x M.2 NVME + 2x Sata SSD
RAM: 2x 16GB DDR4 3600 G.Skill Sniper
PSU: Corsair: SF-600 Platin

GPU: Gainward RTX 2070 Super Golden Sample
GPU Waterblock: Alphacool Eisblock GPX-N Plexi Light Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (Super) M03

Watercooling: MagiCool 240 Radia 27mm thickness + EK Coolstream SE 39 mm thickness
2x Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM, 120mm + 2x Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM, 120mm
Iceman Reservoir + DDC Pump

Well ... this is my problem:
Cant close the case on the left side.
The Side panel is hitting the GPU Waterblock. I think its about 3-4mm missing.
What can i do? Yesterday evening after finding out... i was in pain and near tears ? ? ?
I never thought that this could be a problem. ....




from top angle it looks much worser...



but its just the angle... from front view.. you can see the side panel can close on the top mounting brackets... and about 3-4 mm missing.



Does anyone had the same problem?
Any hints or solution regarding this???

I am very sad now that after so much waiting for the case.... and all the effort and work ... all for nothing
or maybe not?

Today i'll try to change the terminal to this one - and maybe i am lucky and get me 3-4mm of additonal clearance i need.
