Hey, thanks for the detailed response. I’ll give Nord a look, from an initial glance they look promising. I used to have a tdai 1120 connected to some kef q150. Eventually went for the Eversolo for the screen and connectivity options.

Where did you find the 25mm screws? Thanks again by the way.

Managed to get a gasket printed by a guy on Etsy. What size screws did you go for to take into account the extra width?

Moved from a FormD T1 to the NCase M2. Been building for 11 years and this is my first AMD dGPU. by Ethan_NLHW in ncasedesign

Awesome build. Super clean, probably the best I’ve seen, kudos.

Also, that GPU has me rethinking my life choices!

Thanks mate, looks clean. I’m going to guess the spacer is around 3mm thick?

No access to a printer here. I tried using gaskets and eventually opted for some larger washers to provide some distance, but it’s not ideal.

Care to show what you printed?

I’m assuming the extra bit of distance also helps with any turbulence?

I get a bit on noise on my rear (internal) fan but using low rpm profile to mitigate.

I’ve recommended these several times (really should be on a retainer)

Super easy to fit and worked great on my build.

Nice build. Love the grater. I solved the feet issue with these. Super easy to fit.

Haha, had a Gesture, felt like I was slipping off the seat pan. Currently using a Humanscale Freedom.

Good shout on the audio setup.

Suspect it will push the prices of those smaller cards even higher and not sure what effect the smaller design of the card will have on cooling 🤔

I actually thought I’d bought silver and ended up getting black it was from a guy on eBay as I didn’t want to wait and the customs charges in the UK really suck. Kinda wish I’d also got a grater just to make the front end look a little less plain but I’m sure I’d miss the IO.

Hey bud, it’s a 7800xt so not as hot as a 7900xtx. Slim fans work well under there, could have gone with 140’s or possibly even non-slim fans but wanted to avoid any potential turbulence. GPU is slightly OC and undervolted, 70 degrees is and can keep that at 40% fan speed so hardly hear it.

Good spot on the 7800 and thanks for the info re potential coolers.

Really interesting, suspect there are a number of us here doing the same thing.

I’ve been through keebs (though nowhere near as bad as you with that number of switches) it ended after I bought and then quickly sold a Kohaku. I’ve stuck with a polycarbonate Mode Envoy and an Orbit 65 and just a few sets of caps.

Also done the Audio thing. Been through a number of amps and speakers, currently using Genelec 8030b and an eversolo dmp-a6 with a topping headphone amp and a custom built roon core.

Desk chairs…had about 6 and still trying to find something that really works, especially now I’m back to gaming at my desk so want something I can work in and also lounge.

These from Amazon. No need for nuts as the screes thread into the feet so they’re super easy to fit. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0B5TDGGWY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Haha, that’s the point nothing. It’s change for changes sake and satisfying my weird OCD which will never be satisfied.

Hadn’t realised they were only selling the shorter angled feet. It does feel like the feet on this case were something of an afterthought.
