Hello,
I need a few suggestions for this upcoming build. I intend to build this as soon as I get the Ncase M1 case (Mid March). Prices are listed CAD including 12% tax, as I live in Vancouver, BC.
Already owned parts include the EVGA 1080 Hybrid, an ADATA 512 GB 2.5" SSD and a shucked 8TB 3.5" drive. I purchased on Boxing Day the ram, 2 x 8 GB of Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000 and a Samsung 970 evo 500 GB M.2 drive. I would like to stay with Noctua for all fans if possible. I don't want to go with AIO for the CPU this time.
A decent CPU cooler that matches this case seems to be the NH-D9L and I was thinking of adding a secondary NF-A9 PWM on the left side of the cooler mounted vertically.
Going with the NH-U9S with secondary NF-A9 PWM as suggested.
For drives, I will have the M.2 for the OS, the 2.5" SSD mounted vertically at the front section, and the 3.5" HDD at the bottom of the case. I would like to put a fan next to it but I don't know what size I can fit there after I put the 3.5" drive...
Will leave that spot empty as a duct.
For the GPU, I would like to replace the 120mm fan itself. I have no idea what to look for.
Will use the NF-A12x25 PWM as suggested.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks, Tim
