NCASE M1 V6 GPU Compatibility List
- Thread starter Necere
- Start date
The special edition is too thick about 22mm. It will leave almost 0 room for airflow if you use bottom slim rad and fan.
For those interested in watercooling, I reached out to Alphacool who confirmed that the Eiswolf 2 for 3080/3090 will be available in Jan/Feb 2021 . These are AIO GPU coolers.

The PowerColor 6800 XT Red Dragon looks like it might fit into the M1 without too much issue. If nothing else it's the shortest AIB 6800 XT I've seen so far, based on my rough Photoshop comparison where it looks about the same length as a Strix 2080 Ti or TUF 3080.

PowerColor unleashes Red Dragon AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 custom models will officially launch this Wednesday, on November 25th. Meanwhile, board partners are those shipping cards to reviewers and retailers. There aren’t many custom models that were not shown yet, but we still managed to...

EK has revealed their 6800/6900 velocity water block. Any chance this can be snugged into M1 V6.1?
Not sure if 139mm is too wide since this number does not include the PCIE connector.
Card height is generally from the edge of the PCIe connector, which the waterblock does not cover. The PCIe connector extends ~13mm, bringing the total height of the card+block to ~152mm. So it's not going to fit.
Rule of thumb: if a card's PCB is taller than reference, it won't fit in the M1 with a waterblock, unless the waterblock has the ports somewhere that they don't add to the height.
Wow that is tight. Is it possible to fit 25mm fans underneath assuming you have removed the front I/O?
Per this link the height of the AMD branded card is 120mm. You can see on EK's mock up, there's a recessed power connector for the card. Then you can look at the PCB and you can see the female power connectors end at 120mm. So you're left with ~19-20mm to fit the male connectors and the power cables. Also you can look at EK's diagram and they're measuring the height to the edge of the inlet/outlet housing, not the edge of the male PCIe connector. It seems like it would be a close fit.
This is currently the thinnest waterblock for the the new GPUs, so if this block fits, it would be amazing for people building dual rad set ups as the 15mm fans won't be choked for air as badly as thicker blocks.
Also what's the ETA on you guys responding to emails sent to your support address?
I think the pulse 6800 will fit (barely), but both nitros and the pulse 6800xt won't imo. Here's a couple pictures I dug up on reddit of the nitro 5700xt:
The 5700xt nitro only just barely fit because it had rounded corners. Saphire's 6800s and 6800xts do not have rounded corners and all but the non xt pulse are longer as well. Unless the specifications are inaccurate or you're willing to dremel the vertical support and risk the structural integrity of your case I'm highly doubtful any nitro+ will fit this generation. If you do go for it I'd love to hear if it works, but I'm very doubtful it'll turn out how you want it to :/.

Did you have any luck or tips to pass on. I’m in a similar boat and planning on attempting this Friday.
Based on the measurements it's long enough that it will need to go through the front opening, but wide enough that it won't clear the vertical support :/
Here, I've overlaid the PCB and filled in some of the other dimensions so it's clear:
The PCIe connector adds ~13mm to the height, for a total of 152mm, as I stated previously. You can also look at the ports, which overhang by ~28.4mmm, based on my measurement. These might be a little off, but either way it's still going to be too tall.
Depends on the ticket. Simple tickets are usually within 24 hours. If it's more complicated and takes some time to figure out, it may take longer.

You will be addressing it first then, I'm currently traveling and won't actually be building until mid December. Anxiously awaiting though!
Asus is releasing 3070, 3080 and 3090 with custom EK waterblocks, not sure on size but they look pretty compact.
I checked the card out and unfortunately the Sapphire Nitro + SE Edition is to long for Ncase M1. It wont fit.
I got the tip to check out the Gigabyte 6800 Aorus versions. Those are 3 slot, but shorter. Or else I will wait till February 2021 for Nvidia 3070 TI.
It's just, this generation GPU cards are huge and don't have great designs in my opinion.
Yeah I'm hoping someone will disassemble the cooler on the 3070/6800 aorus master (smaller than the 3080 version which is like 4 slots). The thickness (60mm) is enough that it might not be able to fit 25mm fans when deshrouded, but I kind of think the shroud+overlapping fan layout are inflating the card's thickness a bit and it might be possible.
It looks like an ideal deshroud card if it will fit with 25mm fans:
-Length+width fills an ncase well while still having a bit of clearance to maybe make installation a bit less of a nightmare.
-Inset 8 pin connectors should help avoid the connector issues we see with a lot of the larger heatsink cards that fit in the m1.
-Pretty decent sized flow through hole in the backplate vs many other cards, however much that actually helps...
-As far as I can tell from other models gigabyte seems to typically have a flat heatsink surface on the fan side; no raised mounting tabs/U shaped channel/indentations.
-Personal preference but the backplate is pretty nice IMO... doesn't have tire tracks, bright colors to clash with the rest of your build, or cheap plastic looking trim. I guess I like it because of what it doesn't have lol.
I was able to snag the 3070 Aorus in a Newegg bundle a day or two ago. I've got my shipping confirmation saying it should be here Friday. I was coming to ask the same question, of whether people think this card would fit. Just looking at pictures, it looks like it's simple to deshroud, if it's just taking out the screws between the fans. No idea if there's any tabs or anything of the sort that might get in the way. I'd really like to keep my front io, but I'd sacrifice it if it was the only thing preventing its use.
Anyway, since it seems like nobody else has yet, I'll see about trying to fit the card without my bottom fans if it does arrive Friday/Saturday and then see about deshrouding it and fitting it with them in. I might have to spend some extra time managing cables, as I didn't do the best with the PSU the first time. I have a friend who'll swap me their TUF if it turns out the Aorus just won't fit well, so either way, I'll be glad to upgrade the 1060 6gb I had in there before.
The card clears the front panel with USB ports in and I used @radnox lego anti sag to prevent the fan from clipping the front panel cables. Looking at the case from the front, I used a 2x2 stacked with 1 full height and 2 flat pieces high and a 1x2 for the right.
Some pictures of the setup:
Hey, happy to see it could inspire a bit! I didn't even posted pictures of mine. Here it is:

That's awesome! Congrats. I'm also coming from a 1060 6gb, it's served me well but after going ultrawide an upgrade is definitely needed.
I would really appreciate you checking the deshroud compatability, thanks! Hopefully deshrouding works, but if you are okay with running it stock you won't have to swap it. Found this while trying to dig up teardown pics:
