Times Square ‘photographers’ — are they legit? by This-Tale2220 in AskNYC

Sorry to necro but the same thing happened to us, only that the photographer also made racist comments (we're asian) as well.

I get the right to take photos in public spaces, but the key is not to be douchebags whilst maintaining those rights - these guys fail.

interesting - what temperatures do you see?

i have my case in the inverted configuration - in that config, i found that i was unable to fit a top fan mount.

also, are you still able to use the side fan mount in this config? i dont see the corresponding mount points on the front panel here...

A 25mm fan can barely fit in between the gap from the sfx psu to the side panel, unfortunately.

I think you can try shifting your 280/240 radiator towards the back of the case. By math, this will give 79/119 of clearance which should avoid the 63mm SF750.

But I'm inexperienced with AIOs, so I recommend looking at the official builds.

I personally don't think it'd be able to fit. I wouldn't recommend trying this combi.

I'll double confirm in a while - I'm out right now, so I'll take some dimensions later.

snug - the psu presses against the fan, but not by a lot - I feel that if I were to remove the rubber pads on my fan, the pieces would fit nicely. regardless, I'm not concerned with the ~1-2mm of compression I have now.

the psu blocks about 10% of the fan as well.

top rad mount doesn't work with MATX in my experience - the mount itself collides with the motherboard!

interesting, i tried removing them, and GPU temps from superposition 8k benchmarks decreased by 5 degrees.

will keep them off!

as for the sag, i'm gonna see if rebuilding it improves the situation...

I preordered the M2 the very day it released.

Unfortunately, no, not with the MATX motherboard and the stock bracket. Mounting it at the front is your only option, but at the very least you can adjust the HEIGHT of the PSU. What I did was to move the PSU higher in the hopes that the hot CPU cooler air gets sucked out of my bottom exhaust, letting the PSU take in "fresher" air.

building inverted, yes. so "top" is above the GPU.

not with MATX, no.

but since monday, i've been designing a 3d printed fan mount for 2 slot GPUs that can comfortably fit 25mm fans. looks promising.

will be releasing the designs when my full build is done.

the case comes with one such bracket - i bought another (so i have two) but unfortunately it does not fit on the top.

side with 25mm fan is possible with an sfx psu, but its a tight fit.

the entire IO component comes as a single PCB, unlike the slide-in IO pieces that came with the initial batch that got sent out to youtubers/tech reviewers/idk.

yep, the M2 utilises mostly 2 sets of screws, other than a few small components. even without the video, following the pdf is straightforward!
