Project Toaster [NCASE M1, 4670K, Impact Z87, GTX 970 G1][WIP]

Butterfish
Go to solution Solved by Butterfish,

Finally some news on the project! - well, it's not good news.. 

 

I want to first apologize to everyone who were following this thread and expecting progress..

 

Project Toaster is sadly over, due to my lack in time and interest in the build. It was a fun ride, but i realized that the case was just too much of a hazzle and with all the setbacks i had with months and months of waiting for parts, i just couldn't bare it anymore. The toaster has gotten a new owner - one of my close friends. He needed a small chassis for carrying around, and i thought it would be best to give it to someone who would appreciate it alot more. I have therefore decided to switch back to ATX for now.

 

I can't thank you guys enough for all the support and replies on this thread. Who knows - maybe i will come up with something new? ;) I will keep you updated.

It's been out in Australia for a while... http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=30327&cPath=535

You think that card is tight? I'm pretty sure I need to remove one of the push clips to get the 980 Strix to fit because it's a taller PCB at the SLI fingers.

Or you can do what this guy did and trim the PCB :P

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

 

I'm almost set up at the new place after moving so I can start some mods and get this thing IN the NCASE finally to see if it works. Loving the NCASE builds at the moment.

 

I really love the raised power delivery on your Impact just the colour doesn't work for me. I wish they did a similar version like the z87i-deluxe/pro in the z97 and not horrible 'gold'

 

Can't wait to see your build finished and some nice photos! Keep it up.

The power delivery gets really really warm to the touch. I almost burned my finger. I removed the stock cooler and installed my H55 AIO cooler. Still same problem despite the fact that there is no hot air blowing on it?  :wacko:

Back to being serious tho. My GPU is the loudest thing in my case so i'm considering flashing the GPU to enable 0 rpm fan mode. Might do it later. I could risk bricking the card completely if i screw up. Wish me luck?  :unsure:

what fans do you have below your GPU?

Are you sure it is the card and not those fans?

 

 

 

well, it's better than nothing right?

I'd say in the next 1-2 weeks they should be in stock ...

Those are some 120mm from bitfenix. Super quiet. I turned off ALL my fans in AI Suite to locate the source. It's the GPU ;)
