ncase m1 compatibility?

[Powerpuffboysz]

i'm looking at the ncase m1 as a potential case replacement but I'm not sure about air cooler compatibility. my current air cooler is the cryorig c1 but I want to know if I can use it and the 3.5 inch hdd bracket with it. if not can someone recommend a good air cooler that would fit as I am favoring storage over overclocking potential. my board is an asus strix z270i mitx  if it helps

Should be fine, if it doesn't work look int the mini towers noctua and cryorig make (M9i and NH - D9 I think)

CPU Cooler

 

• Height restriction: 130mm (with side bracket in place and no fan mounted)
• Cooler cannot extend past the top of the board by more than 10mm. For many larger coolers, this limits motherboard choice to those with centrally-located sockets.
• Large coolers that extend past the front of the board will prevent the 3.5" HDD cage from being used.

 

So if you're cooler doesn't extend past, you're fine.

Why not just get an AIO?

120mm should be fine.
