Do realise that the closer a fan is to the vents, the more turbulence noise it will generate. I generally like to have at least 1 cm between the vents and a fan. If you're worried about recycling hot air, you could make a fan duct.

Completed The MI-6 Microtower Case: Performance in 6.7L
- Thread starter firewolfy
- Start date
Yes, x65; I got case #64, and guess it stuck hahaha. I have nicknamed my case MI-ntendo 64. If anyone has the minimal style case #64, I will trade for my #61 or #62.
Thanks for the input! Will probably go for the safe option NH-L9x65 rather than worry about having to slightly bend the L12S.
I am guessing from your choices that you are going with AM4? If so remember that the Big Shuriken doesn't have AM4 mounting brackets.
If you plan to use a CPU above i7-8700 (even not K) probably your only options are Noctua L12S and (perhaps) BIG Shuriken 2 (read this https://tekeverything.com/intel-core-i7-8700-review-benchmarks/ )

Right, I forgot to mention the disclaimer:
CPU cooler clearance area is officially 68mm.
Any CPU cooler taller than that is subject to your luck on production tollerance and is on case-by-case basis
@firewolfy
I think that the "official fit" of Noctua L12S (70mm) should be addressed in a next revision of the case. L12S is in fact an almost mandatory choice for any CPU above i7-8700 and is one of the best and quietest cooler on the market.
Batch update--
Looks like finishing and shipping the last 19 cases will take a few more days. Got feedback from my fab shop that they need a few more days to remake some chassis'.
I found a problem last week with the bends on some chassis', and they have been re-making them from scratch. They targeted getting them to me by the start of this week, but the date has slipped. They are busy with higher-volume work, and my small batch has to wait sometimes.
I will update as I find out more

If you officially support the L12S on the next batch, then I am 100% getting a case!
Still haven't gotten a tracking number
All cases sent out?
Per Fire's last post, we'll get an update when he finds out more from the manufacturer.
@nicb6,Still haven't gotten a tracking number

Yes, all cases shipped. I mentioned it over on H on Tues, but didn't post here.
Hmm, you should have a tracking email. --I'll check into that this afternoon.
S/N 70 arrived to me yesterday and looks excellent! Thanks Fred! The wait for Ryzen 2 begins now.
Well,
Somehow email alerts didn't happen for over 50% of the shipments. The USPS shipping website has been having problems, so maybe that was one of them. I sent out tracking numbers to everyone who is still waiting for delivery. Sorry about that guys, really stinks to wait and be in the dark.
