NCASE M3 Grater

[sick herald]

Finally got everything done. Followed a lot of the recommendations everyone gave me. Better feet, changed the top to intake, did an undervolt. The temps are way better, and performance is the same as stock which is magical.

Used one of the old feet as an anti GPU sag item and it works perfectly

Always wanted to make a small build little to no RGB

Damn that’s nice. What speed are your fans set to? And what temps do you get?

[sick herald]

They’re all set to 30%. The case fans only. I did not touch the Gpu fans

This is running a game at 1440p max settings. NINJA Gaiden 4

[mystic solstice]

Even CPU fans to 30%?

[sick herald]

All 5 of the case fans are set to 30%. The pump is so quiet i just left it at its normal speed. In BIOS the CPU pump/water block is just set to standard. The only fans I left alone is the GPU fans.

i may end up copying a build similar to this

hows the m3 grater treating you? do you know if theres a large difference between the m3 round & m3 grater?

i wanted to pick up a grater but its oos

waitt

does the m3 grater not have front IO?

[sick herald]

The M3 Grater just came back in stock today.

It does not have a front IO. I'm waiting for their restore for their Side IO thing. I've seen some people actually buy 3rd party I/Os and 3D print casings for it. I myself bought a USBC hub and plugged it into the back USBC port and it just sits right under the case poking out at the front. Can't tell its not part of the case. I love the case after getting all the the hardware dialed in.

Also - do you know if you have to have this adapter bracket to install a 280mm rad at the top? Or - are you able to do so with the stock bracket here?

Or - do I need to use this?

It would be awesome if you could take a picture of the top of the case - without the top panel - so I could see what the top of the inside of the case looks like with your current 240mm AIO installed

[sick herald]

I dont think you need an adapter bracket for a 280. The bracket that came with it has more space for 140 fans on top so I'm assuming a 280 will fit just fine.

Sorry it took a while for me to reply 😅 . Just got a new house, and my desk table top got dented bad so I couldn't setup my PC and monitors so they were just tucked away. New solid maple wood desk table top now (pic below).
Love your build! Loving the Dark and red (Feels like a Sith station).

nuuuuu I dented my tabletop too 🙁 but i just use a giant mousemat and it covered it up lol

sweet desktop

i would love something like that in the future. but - i actually had to get a lumber spot to custom cut a large piece of wood - so I could leverage a piece of wood "cut-to-fit" for my exact dimensions..

ooo you have a bambu printer? which one?

I was thinking about getting a P1S at some point..

I have the A1 with that 4 spool auto dispenser thing. I love it. It’s so easy to use.
