I have a current build in the SM560 that gets solid temps but it is a fair amount louder than I'd like. This is largely due to to excessive GPU coil whine, but the CPU and chassis fans can become audible in games even with tweaked fan curves.
How does the NCase M1 compare in terms of noise? I feel like the side panels might help with blocking out GPU coil whine, and the ability to use a larger CPU cooler should certainly help. Debating whether I should hop on the next pre-order and do a case swap, or if there are better ways to optimize noise in the SM560.
Specs:
Case: SM560 with vented side panels
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
CPU cooler: Black Ridge w/ Noctua A9x14
GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 Super XC Ultra (3-slot)
Motherboard: Asus B450-I
RAM: Corsair LPX DDR4-3000 16 GB
PSU: Corsair SF600 Platinum
Fans: 2 x Noctua NF-F12
