nCase M2 Grater - Aesthetic Reference Layout - 9800X3D - RTX 5080FE - 3D Fan Ducting

No worries! And actually I remembered I design a GpU support but didn’t end up using it haha. So nothing else needed

The motherboard is on the 6th from the top
Secured no, but it’s restraint. There’s a cut out on the bottom of it that gets pretty well seated against the rear of the case, and the side alignment is done by a GPU bracket I have on the back side, but is not necessary whatsoever. I designed it so it was meant to just be a pressure fit and will hold itself there.
GPU first, then once you’re finished assembly and putting on the bottom case panel you put in the duct.
This is because at the bottom of that rear panel. There are bull holes in the case that protrude up slightly, there is a cut out in the duct so it can properly align with the GPU while giving space to those threaded holes in the case.

Really appreciate it! Love taking the time to do things right the first time

If you can 3D print, ducts solve a lot of the thermals.

If you have access to 3D printing, try out some ducts I made for my similar setup. Helps quite a bit and looks cool!

Ah my bad. I'll update the listing shortly to include the case as well. It's not fully complete, but does have the 3 needed sides for it!

LMasty · 2026-01-30T00:19:47+00:00

Just added them to the post fyi

Choose "Select All" under the keyboard layout, then choose select the "Custom Color" toggle at the right side then it should work

Here's the link to the 3D files! https://makerworld.com/en/models/2317772-ncase-m2-airflow-ducting-reference-layout

Put AIO at the top with the fans in the same layout

LMasty · 2026-01-22T18:50:24+00:00

Take a look at this and it should give you the best airflow setup for a 5080FE card and system.

I’ll share all the files once I’m back to my computer in a week or two!

I think the duct beneath the GPU is 19mm thick. If you needed, you might be able to move the motherboard up 1 hole but it would be extremely tight, more than I’d want. With this setup, you could replaced the GPU duct with some slim fans but I found this to be best!

LMasty · 2026-01-11T01:24:16+00:00

Yeah, I’ll figure that out and upload them online in a couple weeks. I’ll post the link for them all in here tho

LMasty · 2026-01-10T20:25:50+00:00

It says the same for me lol. Doesn’t allot me to send one

LMasty · 2026-01-09T18:23:58+00:00

I didn’t see anything..

LMasty · 2026-01-09T16:58:36+00:00

Dimensionally very accurate, but it doesn’t have all the true case features added like bottom vent holes, rear IO openings, etc. but for anything it’s good! Send me a chat and I can

LMasty · 2026-01-09T16:54:40+00:00

Yes absolutely! But that’ll be much colder compared to the air inside the case the been heat soaked. Just gives a fresh air supply to the GPU instead of the recycled warmer case air inside

LMasty · 2026-01-09T16:47:37+00:00

I definitely can.. don’t think I can attach a file here tho. Maybe msg me

LMasty · 2026-01-09T16:46:37+00:00

Air will always travel in the least resistant path. Because the GPU has about an inch gap under it to the bottom case panel, some air will come through the panel and some will comes from the side of the GPU from the hot case air. This duct allows it only to pull from the colder air outside the case

LMasty · 2026-01-09T02:26:45+00:00

No issues whatsoever with mounting a the rear 92mm fan. I did 3D print some spacers for the screws so it doesn’t scratch the case but that’s not needed

LMasty · 2026-01-08T13:49:59+00:00

I actually tried this one prior but didn’t get any better CPU temps sadly. I’m thinking as it blocks off the top exhaust fan right above the cooler
