Ryzen 5900x seated with no concerns. It's a little surprising how simple the latch and mount is, I've been used to the intel metal plate style for some time.
Ryzen chip in place and looking good.
Mr friendly asked about how the VRM is cooled. You can see the little fin assemblies that come with the morpheus II that you put on the VRM.
One annoyance with this board is that the HD audio connector sits under a steel plate in the corner of the board. You have to unscrew the plate, and use an included mini-audio to audio connector.
Got a 1x2 adapter for the fans to plug directly into the GPU so they're now controlled by the GPU instead of functioning like case fans. You can see the white connector in the center of the pic.
Flipped the PSU to face in. Should give it a bit more airflow than the small gap between the PSU and the front plate as I had it in the original version. You can see a little bit of the thermal grizzly past on the CPU from the test fitting. Did as much cable management as I can without cutting new cables in such a tiny case.
C14S put in place. I've put a BST ad up hoping I can find someone has an unwanted 140mm slim fan. I'd like to see if there's a way to mount one to the top of the C14S. 25mm thick fans won't fit.
View from the top. DDR4 just
barely fits.
Got it closed up with a slim 120mm fan mounted on the bars inside the case.
All said I still really do like the Ncase. I still think I'll try and build something similar-ish in the near future.
