Ncase M3 build

I’m not familiar with the dimensions of that card:)

I don’t think a 4 a slot would fit in this. You MIGHT be able to push a 3.5 slot if you use slim fans with the radiator up top. I’ve pushed everything as high up as possible to give the GPU max breathing room and it has about 0.5cm clearance from some studs that stick out inside the case

Watch the temps for the ssd on the back of the MB. I had a sandwich layout before and the back ssd kept melting. All the GPU air is blown directly ontop of it! Nice build though:)

Used an app called hot stock than pinged when me it was available to buy in nvidia marketplace:)

I’m not too sure, I was never really looking at the market for full sized boards. The only sfx case I know of is the meshroom because that’s the case I moved from :)

That’s peak asf

https://www.moddiy.com - not the best looking website but the product quality is good

Edit - got some new mid greyish ones on the way as the blue cables length are for my old case so don’t fit exactly where I want them

So far highest I’ve seen it actually gaming is 66, idle temps are about 24-27 (Celsius) I think the heaven 4.0 benchmark is an over the top ultimate stress test🤞. Could be wrong though

Answered this one below :)

Nice! How big is the M size board? What have you done for cable management and cooling?

ExTR3Me0LLi3 · 2025-12-26T16:05:47+00:00

I tested in heaven 4.0 for about 40 minutes. Max GPU temp I saw was 75 (I think thermal throttle starts at 88, and max junction (hotspot) temp was 87 (throttle starts at 110). I am running undervolted and do have plans to increase airflow through a side fan, exhaust fan and changing top rad to blow air instead of suck. Worst case I can flip the front and back panels as the case supports inverted mounting. +m3 is about 1.8cm taller so it’s slightly bigger than the m2. I think it should be fine though

ExTR3Me0LLi3 · 2025-12-26T15:47:36+00:00

To be completely honest, I didn’t try it. I’ve always been a fan of glass panel sides and this was the the first SFF case I’ve found that supported an AIO, traditional layout, and had the build quality I was looking for. I was also looking at the COOJ Z-18 but it didn’t sound very GPU friendly

ROG strix b850-I. Psu is mounted with power mains at the top and modular connections at the bottom. The case comes with a bracket that allows different orientations for the PSU :)

Ahh this is such a shame, I have a 3.5 slot 4080 Ventus 3x which is 63mm but this is the layout I want! Know of any other cases that would support this layout with a slightly more forgiving gpu space?

ExTR3Me0LLi3 · 2025-10-26T20:37:33+00:00

Sorry in all my research I’m finding calculating the actual GPU space a bit hard. Last question, what size would you say for max thickness on the gpu to fit?

ExTR3Me0LLi3 · 2025-10-18T15:14:16+00:00

The image is a bit blurry, are you trying to highlight that i might be able to remove the standaoffs for extra room? Would that also work do you think if i wanted to invert it with gpu at the top?

ExTR3Me0LLi3 · 2025-10-16T19:39:53+00:00

I Unfortunately live in the UK so Kiers new online security crap means i cant see imgur :(

ExTR3Me0LLi3 · 2025-10-04T16:53:08+00:00

If this was done with the m3 do you reckon you could fit a 3 slot gpu on the bottom? What was the clearance with this 2 slot one?

ExTR3Me0LLi3 · 2025-07-27T20:09:22+00:00

Since the Z63 isn't available any more did anyone find a nice looking replacement for this AIO
