NCASE M1 Build Suggestions

I'm using the Noctua U9S with NF-A9 fans. I researched a lot before deciding on this, in the end what swayed me were a couple of things: there's a nice video by Optimum tech that compares a couple of noctua coolers and a comparison between the A9 and B9 fans (it's for the i7-8700k but the idea is the same). He also has a subsequent liquid cooling comparison in the Ncase, gives a nice overview of what is close to the best setup.

For me personally, I get around 70°C on CPU playing overwatch maxed out 3440x1440 120Hz (I have the Alienware AW3418DW). It gets toasty, but never dangerously hot. For sound, the PSU is super quiet, and only kicks in when required. I don't know how loud really, as I play with headphones, so don't really notice, sorry. In general, it is a pretty quiet build.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know.
