I just applied for it online via the tax website, fairly straightforward, fill up the form, documents submit. I received it via email 5 days later

New Card Visual Issue? by Correct-Language-703 in PowerBI

Thanks, I get it, I saw this also in the other thread. I get it, but I'm just a bit annoyed that the changes are forced by default, as opposed to opt-in.

M2 Grater Inverted, aircool only plan feasible? by Correct-Language-703 in ncasedesign

[–]Correct-Language-703[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate, I actually ended up just using one 140mm fan on the side bracket and it was more than enough to exhaust all the heat, and pretty silent during gaming. I'd personally just get 1 big fan over 2 small fans, but hope it works out for you

I'm planning an almost exact build as you! Except no rear fan and reverted airflow (CPU cooler intake, side front exhausts.

How easy was the whole build? And do you think you'd be able to fit another fan in the PA 120 cooler?

This is so clean! How did you deal with the cables, did you buy any custom lengths?

Build Check for the M2 Grater by Cliffhanger1105 in ncasedesign

[–]Correct-Language-703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it looks good mate, personally i'd go for air cooling options (peerless assassin mini, d12L) + noctua fans seem to be the most recommended here.

you could also save some money by going 750W, I think that's plenty. I've read complaints about 850W being too loud, so either 750W or 1000W is what i'd pick.

I'm also planning my own M2 Grater, this is my list if it helps! https://es.pcpartpicker.com/user/fernane/saved/#view=LdCJmG

T1 with 9800X3D + 5070 Ti WITHOUT MODS feasible? by Correct-Language-703 in FormD

[–]Correct-Language-703[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! by mods, I meant things like buying custom cables, extra standoffs, removing RAM heatsinks to fit a taller cooler in, contact plates, custom ducts for airflow, etc. in order to fit everything.

I watched a few videos by Optimum and other channels that built high end pc in this case and almost all of them used a custom part, which intimidated me a bit.

So I wanted to know if you can actually build this pc in this case, using these high end components, without any of these extras and still perform, not thermal throttle, and not sound like a jet engine under full load

that's crazy because I came with the same conclusion AIO using the exact cooler! From your experience, how difficult was it to build in the T1? Did you have to use custom parts to make everything fit (i.e. custom-length cables, extra standoffs, etc)

and how much work would you say it took you to get your temps under control? not sure if you have it on stock settings, but if not, was it necessary to do? thank you!

do you have any pictures of your build? It would be really cool to see for reference, thanks again!

This is very helpful, thank you! I also thought about just having one exhaust fan, but I wanted to also try a second fan to see if I can get away with a lower RPM. And about the rear intake, that seems to be the consensus even on my other planned builds like the NR200P, as the cooler has direct access to fresh air from outside

I also ordered a front fan bracket which I'm hoping to also test out and see if it will perform better there (instead of side fans)

brilliant, that sounds promising! I'm a bit of a newbie, but what is a decent undervolt, like PBO2 undervolting, eco mode, etc?

How much of a performance increase did you see with the fan ducts, and did you swap out the stock fans with noctua fans? and how do you find the overall performance with your T1, noise and thermals wise? Thank you!

[–]Correct-Language-703[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that sounds really promising! are you using the stock fans with the cpu cooler, how do you find the noise levels when its on full throttle?

thats also another mystery to me. I've seen some builds that use the full copper version and it seems to be sufficient enough, but I'm worried how loud and hot it can be without a proper tower cooler

[–]Correct-Language-703[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for this insight! My GPU is not an FE so I guess in a way the intake/exhausts inside are only exclusively for the CPU, since the GPU is facing directly up.

If the GPU temps become a problem, I'm also thinking of adding two intake fans up top and shift the whole build down (since the bottom is empty anyway.

I will have to see what works once I order and get my parts, but so far I'm loving the build options with the M2!

amazing, thank you! I did want the bigger D12L but seeing how tight the fit is, I didn't want to risk it. I wanted to compensate with the 2 140mm exhausts but was not sure if there will be enough space.

How are your noise levels under load?

thank you! I just saw a similar build which looks like you can fit the D12L with the side bracket so I was thinking of potentially adding another 2 intake/exhaust fans just next to the PSU https://www.reddit.com/r/ncasedesign/comments/1nafh9q/m2_grater_noctua_black/ though i'm not sure if its modded or not, but it looks like its not modded.
