NCASE M1 V6 info
- Thread starter Necere
- Start date
I'm an Italian living in Canada, I bought the Ncase because I can bring it with me when I'll move back to Italy!I can also speak for Alex (same destination country, same dispatch batch). There're no foreign information while we track the package w/ http://postserv.post.gov.tw/pstmail/main_mail.html and "Poste Italiane" still didn't register the shipment.
I suppose it's due to Poste Italiane (they also are responsible for customs in Italy) that still have not processed that batch coming from Taiwan.
Italian customs are so shitty that a lot of CN/HK couriers prefer to import goods via Germany, UK or France instead of Italy. It's a shame.
@Necere: I'm curious. How many Italian folks did buy the M1?
I use to go back and forth from the EU to the US. I'm in Italy this quarter, so shipping to Italy was the only option to use it asap.
Marvelous. Thank you for the info and your transparency. Great customer service!
Here she is. Been using it for a couple of days for photo editing and Borderlands 3. Highest I've seen the CPU go is 85°c in Sanctuary. Did 30 minutes testing each on AIDA64 and Firestrike as well as being on >24hrs. Despite the size, it was pretty easy to put together. Temps in imgur link.
Hello everybody! I've got 2 questions for you all, so if anyone could take some time to answer that would be much appreciated.
- Question 1:
I'm eager to get my hands on the V6. Ordered the silver version the day the preorders went live, and since then I've received no updates on the shipping.
I am not really active here, but I've read both here and in /r/sffpc that there was a shipping problem regarding the silver M1.
Is there any updates on that? Should I be worried?
- Question 2:
I was thinking of buying the Aorus X570 board and the C14S CPU cooler from Noctua, but the motherboard socket seems to be placed quite high so the cooler interferes with the top panel. Some users have asked Noctua for a mount that allows a 90º rotation on the cooler, however this is not recommended by Noctua themselves, as seen in the C14S' instructions manual:
I understand why such orientation is not recommended, as the high temperature of the fluid could cause it to "stay" on the heatpipes so the radiator would not dissipate as much heat... But I'm unsure of the practical difference (as in ΔºC or noise levels).
So, as silence and performance are my priorities, my current alternatives are as follow:
(Quoting @Necere because as the designer you might have some insight on this... And this way I can also praise your improvements on the V6 hehehe)
Best regards to you all!

- Wait for B550...

1. Track the shipment using http://postserv.post.gov.tw/pstmail/main_mail.html
2. I have the Aorus X570 + Noctua C14 (yes, the old model). I can check if it fits as soon as I receive the case.
Gonna do a super amateur level stream of my trying to set mine up. Was gonna be for a friend that wanted to watch but thought I might as well open it up to you guys. Ttv/haaas. Maybe in like 15 min
1. It seems it departed from Taiwan on the 26/09, with no updates since then... But at least there is no "unknown" status on that site.
2. I've read the C14 fits fine, so you should be good to go! However, not only I find the C14S more interesting (due to the thermal results seen here) but the original C14 is nowhere to be found where I live, so that is not an option for me.
Thanks anyway! I hope both our cases arrive soon!
Does it fit fine w/ the Aorus x570 and the M1? Wow, ty for the info. I was scared I cannot close the top panel.
Hi, on regards on the aorus MB and the c14s. Someone tested that on Reddit, link in another topic on the forum. Some topics down. It seems only one way to fit as you mentioned not recommended by noctua.Hello everybody! I've got 2 questions for you all, so if anyone could take some time to answer that would be much appreciated.

ASRock board has it's socket a bit more down. But in my opinion i doubt if it will be enough, it will be a very close call. Didn't find any pics of some who did the same combo.
I Will use a b450 Asus board, cant wait any longer... B550 are announced but if they come as fast as x570 boards, likely next year...
I can't find the actual post but I remember reading a post where the C-shaped CPU heatsink would only fit with the heatpipes pointing downward which Noctua didn't recommend. The user mounted it that way anyway and found the performance to be acceptable. So I don't know if there is a long-term reason not to mount a C-shaped heatsink in that orientation, but you can give it a try, especially if that's the only way it will fit.
I missed your live stream, but I'm watching it now. You did great for this being only your second PC build. An SSF build can be very challenging, but the M1's removable panels (and now the bottom) help a lot. Planning and visualizing each step beforehand is recommended to reduce back-tracking (removing a device or cable that's preventing the installation of another one).
Other recommendations:
- Attach the Front I/O cables before installing the power supply. You can keep these cables along the back bottom edge of the case where they will be hidden from view by the graphics card and any bottom fans. Make sure they don't cover the PCI-E slot.
- Power supply:
- Attach the PS unit to the mounting frame first. This will allow you to attach the PS to the frame using more screws. Next, attach the combination to the case chassis.
- Attach the PS cables to the motherboard and all other devices before attaching them to the PS. It's easy to attach modular power supply cables to the PS unit later via the large hole in the chassis below the PS or through the V6's open bottom. Route all the PS cables neatly under or around the motherboard
- Install the graphics card last. This seems strange for such a large item, but depending on its size, it should be a simple insertion. For really big cards you may have to install the graphics card before installing bottom fans because you may need that space to tilt the graphics card as you install it.
Noctua fans come with a splitter. Most come with a 30cm extension cable as well. So probably don't need a fan hub. You can daisy chain extensions/splitters. Provided you can power the fans and cable length (pretty sure voltage drops further you go, shouldn't be a problem though). It's what I have in my current build.
Do you talk about an Asus B450-i Strix? You got 3 fan headers. Cpu, Aio and sys-fan. I think you can use the aio header for fans no problem.
I'm using an aio but @NeverBackDown was spot on about getting y splitter with my noctua's. Although didn't get them with my 12x15 ones previously so assumed I wouldn't get with the 12x25. ?
