Ncased M2 (round) Inverted Layout
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Mini
GPU: Aorus 1080ti 11go
**RAM:**CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz CL30
Motherboard: ASRock A620I Lightning WiFi
Storage: Samsung 990pro 2to
PSU: corsair SF750

Been building computers for a about 2 decades, but never tried SFFPC, I wanted a traditional layout yet the smallest case for a 3 slots GPU.
Ncased M2 fitted my requirements.
Transfered GPU from my previous build, don't need anything bigger for now.

Temps are good. So I probably won't have to use extra fans.

Any input from more experienced builder are appreciated.
Cheers.

How did you find the build ?

like a IKEA furniture.
The manual is clear enough, and you want to outsmart it, so you end up loosing time.
The extended feet was the worst on that topic.
Quality of the case is great imo.

I was planning on using my old ncase feet hopefully that works

Can’t figure out why the GPU looks bent back towards the rear lol

#

Surprised how much room is left in there, nice job

@ebon raft after searching around, I realized i'm basically making the same build except i'm using a ASUS TUF OG OC 4090 and hopefully the new AMD 9800X3D cpu.

I'd love to know: how are you likely this build since you've had ~a month since posting?

Is there anything you'd want others to know if they were going to iterate on this build?

@ebon raft Do you have any photos from the build process? I’m trying to build mine using the inverted layout (same as yours). It’s currently slow going haha.

Take your time don't rush. Rushing is the best way to mess it up

Did you end up doing an intake fan at the back/ bot and exhaust on side?

ebon raft

Oh ok

#

But if you did upgrade to say a 7800xt / 4080. Would you know where'd you put it if at all?

ebon raft
#

Yes, 2x120mm slim on top. With a "big" cpu cooler like mine I could only fit one 120/140 as side exhaust

#

but adding a 120 mm extra exhaust at the back of the case (behind CPU cooler) is also something I'm considering

jagged lark
#

Ohh smart. My temps have been kinda high, so I'll put those in. Thank you!

ebon raft
#

What's your setup ?

jagged lark
#

Pretty much yours, but I have a nh l9x65, 7800xt GPU, and 9800x3d

#

They microcenter ran out of thermal take assassins, so I'm just running the low profile until it comes in.

#

Gotta flip my psu too
