Great video. I'm considering buying this case and do the same matx filpped build. I wonder if you mount a shorter cooler like thermalright ss110 or noctua D9L, is it possible to have 2 12cm slim fans on the side bracket and both of them have 4 screws on each, instead of 2 like you showed in the video?
Thanks! Interesting idea with the two 120mm. Unfortunately I don’t have one of your mentioned coolers so I can’t test it. Why do you want to have 4 screws per fan? With two, the fan is perfectly mounted.
Good question :-) Currently, I don't have access to either a RX4090 or a 14900k, so unfortunately I can't help with the build. I think you undervolt your cpu? If you want to switch to an AiO heavily depends on your preferences.
Nice build. Haven't seen too many Evo builds yet and this is the first I have seen using a mATX motherboard, was curious to see how well it fit. That Asrock motherboard has me scratching my head though. This is a B760 with 2x8 pin EPS, only use case I have seen for 2x8 pin EPS is extreme overclocking which you can't do on a B760 motherboard.
I just finished my flipped setup and my god i was having so many issues trying to mount my sf850l with the limited options. I ended up having to mount the psu using it's fan screw locations straight to the chassis. Tried mounting to the bottom holes with the brack but the stupid front io connectors are too large. This case is not large gpu and sfxl friendly. Definitely needs thin and flexible custom wires to be able to fit neatly. I just crammed everything in after spending roughly 4hrs putting it together with the crap instructions.
I planned to keep my M1 V 6.1 for as long as possible but I am actually keen on upgrading to maybe finally be able to sell my awful RTX GPU and replace it with an AMD7900xtx. I still can't decide whether to buy my preferred silver anodised version or the black one. I think the black one is harder to keep clean (fingerprints, dust)
I really like this board even though it only has 1 PWM on board, but back to topic. I haven't tested your configuration but I think it will be as long as you have a spare radiator mount, but there's no guarantee on that. Just my thoughts. If you test this config, please let me know :-)
Are you planning on doing some kind of step-by-step building guide for all M1 Evo variant layouts like Christopher Flannigan's video in the future? I'm planning to buy this case but I find the instructions very confusing.
True, the instructions are very confusing. This is really something which they should address. It remembers me a bit to lego stuff. Until know, I did not plan to do such a step-by-step building guide but may I will have a look into it. Unfortunately, I can't deal with such topics full time, so I have to see how I can find time for it.
okay ive been bashing my head against my monitor for the last 5 hours trying to find an accurate depiction of this flipped layout. Unfortunately, no video shows what im looking for. So before I waste $300 on a broken case, I'll ask here; Is it not possible to mount fans above the GPU in the flipped layout? Every video I've seen the person does not install them even tho there looks to be mounting rails included specifically for this. Am I missing something?
Problem ist, that you don’t have a possibility to screw the fans on. You need a radiator bracket or something like this. Height wise there should be enough space (spends as well on your gpu). That’s are my thought, no guarantees ;-)
Schönes Video! Passt schon viel rein in das M1 EVO :D ich vermisse etwas die Benchmarks am Ende deiner Videos, zumindest eingeblendet was die thermals/noise angeht wären noch schon, aber vielleicht vermisse nur ich die :D
Danke für dein Feedback, werde ich bei den kommenden Builds auch wieder beherzigen. Für die beiden EVO Builds werde ich noch was veröffentlichen bzw. nachliefern.
@@hrdwreblog wäre auch super wenn du ein paar Worte zum Vergleich DANCase C4-SFX und dem M1-Evo machen könntest. Was hat dir bei welchem Gehäuse besser gefallen? Was sind die Vor- Nachteile der beiden Gehäuse im Vergleich?
I have the same cooler but i cant put the fan bracket over top of it i dont know how you got it to fit that way, same flipped setup too but i have am5 not intel setup
@@hrdwreblog ahh ok, that makes sense. i really want to get this case, but its a lot of $$$ and i'm not in love with the gaps/holes on the back (due to high customisability)... i am waiting for your custom loop build, hopefully dual rad? :hint hint:
Yes, it's really expensive but I have to admit, I find it extremely pretty. However, it's also a bit fragile when you're working with it (as I painfully found out). Once you've put the parts together, that changes of course. But that's just the way it is when a case comes in parts, it has advantages but also disadvantages. Because of the water cooling. You REALLY want to see that? I actually don't like building custom loops into ITX systems any more. So little space. So much pain. But. I'll see if I feel like doing it (if I have all the parts I need and it doesn't look like it at the moment) ;-)
Proportions of this case are looking completely off (way too long looking) and the mesh sides look really flimsy and downright cheap compared to the OG M1. I was waiting for this case to come out but just looking at it doesn't want me to go ahead and buy it, unlike its predecessor. Just my two cents though...
I'm also not a fan of the side panels and the way they are attached. I much prefer the mounting on the DAN (LianLi PushPin) even that I don't like that so much.
