NCASE M1 V6 info
- Thread starter Necere
- Start date
That dtx board looks great, but not at $400. Release date for that board and the Strix in the states is October I read on a discord from an Asus rep. Possibly late Sept if really lucky.
Man that's a bummer. Pretty long wait. Don't want to jump on the Aorus board since I've read so many issues with it.
Asus bios support has been the worst out of all the board partners. It wouldn't benefit you if you got the board early and it had bios issues. Gigabyte boards have received the most support.
I personally really like the potential of the Asrock board. Reports are in that it is a good board also. With overclocking on this chip gen providing next to no discernible improvement you really should just pick the board that works great, has great service, and has the features you are looking for.

There was a Reddit post recently whereby a user noted that he wasn't able to close the top panel of his Ncase M1 V5 while using the new X570 Aorus Pro WiFi ITX MOBO + Noctua C14S.
Specifically, the problem was with the positioning of the CPU socket on the MOBO. The aforementioned MOBO has a higher socket position.
My question is that, will that be an issue for the Ncase M1 V6? I would really like to use the Noctua C14S. I have seen people addressing that it would fit, but now I'm now not sure if the fitting itself is limited to certain MOBO/parts combinations.
All answers are much appreciated, thanks.

I had some problems at the begining, with a noctua fan not working sometimes and bios reseting to defaults on cold starts, but it´s working fine since the last bios update.
V2 had some issues with the panel alignment IIRC. The first batch of V5s still had blue colored front USB ports instead of black. Other than these, any fixes/updates came with new revisions, rather than "stealth" unversioned fixes.
It's the CPU socket location on that board that's causing the cooler to sit too high to clear the top panel. The board-to-top clearance is the same across all versions, so it won't be any different in V6.
I haven't heard anything. I assume things are on schedule.
Only full panel kits, ODD top panels, and front I/O kits will be available initially. I think that won't be until after the M1s start shipping.
Some shops in taobao just started to accept order for m1 v6.
So it should be really soon. Haaa...
@Necere I have the same Gigabyte X570 I motherboard and have ordered the Thermalright Silver Arrow 130 cooler, will it have the same issue as the Noctua C14S with the top panel not closing?
This is not a full answer, but may help. The Noctua NH-C14S and the Thermalright Silver Arrow 130 are both symmetric in their width (the dimension spanned by the cooling fans - the vertical dimension when mounted in the M1 with a front to back airflow) with respect to the CPU. The NH-C14S is 140 mm wide and the Silver Arrow 130 is 120 mm wide. BTW, the "130" in its name matches its height of 130 mm. So for the same motherboard, the highest point of a Silver Arrow 130 should be 10 mm lower (0.5 x (140-120)) than a NH-C14S.
