Hello all,
this is a love letter to my Ncase M1 v5.
I've upgraded a lot of my components recently but am still using my Asus Z170I Pro Gaming motherboard with the m.2 drive bay on the read of the motherboard.
I was annoyed by the lack of ventilation or cooling for the NVMe drive and temps under stress loads were 83°C to peak 111°C!
3x 2mm thermal pad later and the side panel of my NCASE has dropped those temps to 45°C peak 52°C.
Hope you are all doing well. Below are some pics.
My setup:
Asus Z170I Pro Gaming
i7 7700K @ 5Ghz delided - running at 85°C - Prime95
Noctua NH-C14 (old version) - allows full 140mm fans on top.
MSI 3070 Ventus 3x deshrouded (waiting for a 8mm fan duct to be printed) - running at 71°C - Furmark
32GB Corsair Vengance
1TB Samsung Evo 970 Evo
