NCASE M1 V6 info

Unless you take off the heatsink, or mod it, the c14s does not work with the rog z390i. The heatsink is too big since the c14s can only be installed one way with the case. when i get home to the states i plan on cutting a hole in the heatsink to fit the heatpipes.
I was about to buy the Z290-I to put in my Ncase before I found this out. I want that type e header. The Asus dtx seems to be the only high end way to get one at the moment. I'm mad about it too. No reason the x570 Strix shouldn't have one when the Z390 does.
Just waiting to see what the dtx price will be. Plenty of placeholder prices floating around, but nothing accurate yet.

Doesnt Z390-I have Type E header? Both 19-pin and 20-pin to accomodate all USB ports in the front?
Impatiently waiting for the V6 to go in stock, 3 days to go! Here's what I got sitting on a cardboard box for now:
Ryzen 7 3800X @ 4.3GHz 1.26V
Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro Wifi (might go for a C8I when in stock)
2* 16GB Ballistix Sport LT @ 3600 CL16 (E-die)
Sapphire RX 5700 XT fan/shroudless
2TB Intel 660p
SF750 Platinum
Alphacool LT240
2* NF-P12 Redux 1300 (intake, bottom)
2* NF-P12 Redux 1300 (exhaust, side)
Unfortunately I think the prices you see around are final, I asked some dealers a couple of days ago and the distributor prices they handle are around that mark (350-400€).
An option might be getting a cheaper one (my Gigabyte works exceptionally well IMO) and getting one of these for the front USB-C and one of these for the front USB-A, although you'd get 2.0 speeds on the A ports.
Also not sure how USB-PD would work on the 19-to-20 pin adapter, but being able to fast charge my phone through the front USB-C port would be awesome, making the C8I worth it for that reason alone IMO.

Would there be anyway to mod the pegs (simply a spacer of sorts) from the top panel to give enough clearance? I realize it'd leave a gap, i'm just trying to determine if it's worth the hassle or if i should just go with an AIO
Someone did a 3D-printed top hat mod, you could do something like that but not as thick. Personally I think it looks ugly as sin though, so definitely not worth it IMO.
Problem with the Z390 Strix board is that it doesn't fit a Noctua C14S in the Ncase for me.
Ugly as sin is an understatement. ha
Why not just an AIO? Better temps, less hassle for you, and more quiet(because lower temps).
That's what I'm doing at least.
I've found the AIO to not be as quiet or as cheap as this setup. Also, the C14S will never leak.
2 x 120mm fans will never be as quiet as a single 140mm Noctua fan, plus you also have the pump noise.
If you get good Noctua fans like you already are, it'll be more quiet and most definitely won't leak. It's so rare for a leak to happen. It's not even worth considering. They sell an insane amount of AIOs and you never hear of any leaks. I've been running mine nearly 24/7 for over 4 years now. Never leaked or had problems.
C14S will still run hot according to that guy who posted here and reddit, who tested a bunch of configurations
Just not a lot of surface area.
First unboxing video of the impact. Doesn’t show much but at least gives an idea of the dimensions of the board and dimm.2
I think, New mold means it has a separate face plate for the new IO(they are doing usb-c and audio plugs are combined into one like the one used in laptops). It should be easier on the bill of materials to have it separate as two parts if the package will offer replaceable face plate
A mold is what you use to make plastic parts. In the case of the M1, the ports are encased in a custom molded plastic housing. V6 is getting new ones, which are split up for each port unlike the old V5:
Very curious to see how these work in conjunction with a 240 rad. In my V5 I had to get the Dremel out and remove a lot of material from the front panel ports. In the end I got the XSPC slim rad to fit (with 15mm fans underneath).
One thing I do like about the V6 is the free flowing bottom panel. Would like to see the same on the side.
