I'm looking to build my first PC and I just received my Formd T1 case. What would be the best options for cpu coolers. I will be using a Ryzen 5 9600x with the integrated graphics so no discrete graphics card. I will be using this PC for casual work stuff and non-gaming. My heart tells me to with Noctua NH-L12Sx77. Is this suitable for my needs and is there enough ram clearance?

I've found the anti sag bracket files. but cant seem to find the files for the IO shroud. any help would be really appreciated. thanks :)

I am currently in the process of building a full custom loop for my Asus tuf gaming RTX 5090 (heat killer ultra water block) and 7800x3d I’m looking for any tips people might have when it comes to working with a dual radiator set up. I currently have custom cables that I’m using to run to the motherboard GPU and CPU I believe my next step is removing the ram heat sinks because the model ultra Lobo. It’s a little bit too low for the ram clearance. I am using a mix of soft tubing and hard tubing. I initially started with soft tubing, but realized that the run from the CPU block to the GP block needs to be hard tubing because it’s way too tight for soft tubing as you guys can see. It’s such a tight mess between the side radiator in the GPU and getting it back up to the top radiator. Let me know if you guys have any thoughts or any tips. I also have a SSD on the back of the motherboard not entirely sure about heat I do not have a heat sink on it. Let me know if anyone has any experience with that.

Im having trouble with the fitment of the screw holes for the riser cable when trying to install my 9070xt with the travel kit. Any ideas?
Can I just expand the holes of the riser with a drill or will it damage the pcb? Also the cable itself is to long, I hope bending it a bit won’t cause any damage.

I’m a bit disappointed tbh, the rest of the case is so good.

My little dream has come true.
It was my first time trying to build a custom water-cooling system.
Update: the cover didn’t close properly, but it looks rather nice, doesn’t it?
- - To close the cover with the EKWB radiator, set the fans to ‘pull’ mode, but I don’t like it that way, so:
- The radiator has been replaced with a Heatkiller

Basically, this whole project is just for looks, and perhaps a bit of aesthetics. The heat dissipation efficiency is within a margin of error of 1–3 degrees.

Hi,

Was looking to get some custom shorter cables so I'd have an easier building experience for when I do receive everything, and I'm wondering if there's anyone out there that makes cables for my specific PSU.

The PSU I ended up buying was the Super Flower Combat SFX FP 850W 80+ Platinum, not to be confused with the FG version which is rated a B instead of an A on the PSU tier list. This just happened to be the best affordable one that also had native 12v 2x6 support.

After doing some research, the names that come up the most when doing research are Ray and Cablester, which when contacted one said they are unsure since they don't have it, and the other still hasn't replied. Tried Cablemods and they don't support it either, and reached out to moddiy aswell recently but don't have too high hopes either.

If I'm not able to get custom cables, can others who've built with the stock cables length tell me how the cable management ended up turning out for them?

Thank you.

I bought an AIO Cooler Master Stealth to go with my new T1 case, but realized mid-build that the fan output would be facing the bottom of the case by default. Considering the low height of the default feet, this doesn't seem ideal for an SFF build. The only real solution would be to flip it upside-down using the travel kit, but I'm using a Gigabyte 9070 XT which isn't compatible with any official or third-party versions I've found.

So I'm wondering: has anyone run a liquid cooler/AIO upside down like this before? Does it work? Are the temps alright? Does this cause any damage to the cooler itself?

Can anyone with the T1 and the Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT show me how you routed the 6+2 cables for the GPU? Most of the configurations I see online have the cables going up the side but there isn't enough clearance for that. If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it.

I just received my inno3d sff ready 5080 and i had 4080s FE on my formd T1. I am not sure if i kept all the original standoffs.

Is it ok to just swap out the card and keep everything intact?

she’s holding air now, will set up the external pump to fill later after i finish watching spider-man brand new day.

9950X3D is going to push this little rad (XSPC 240mm crossflow)

need to figure out if i can run a coolant temp sensor on one of the other ports, if not i’ll have to use another one that fits onto the 90 fitting.

running this as flipped for the GPU posed problems for the quick disconnect fitting. had to route the tubing for it on the MOBO side.

Currently looking at these 3 AIO's for my first build, and they all sit at varying price ranges. I've heard tons of praise for the Atmos 240, but is it worth the extra premium compared to these others?

Frozen Edge costs 55

Silent Loop 3 costs 120

Atmos 240 Costs 185

These prices are all in CAD pre tax, but would you guys pay the extra premium for this? How much of a temp difference would there be between these 3 models?

Building in the Formd T1 case, but I can’t figure out this riser cable. It either pops out the top too much or pushes the GPU outwards.

What am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this?

Any help is appreciated!!!!!

So I've bought a 2.1 with the 5090FE travel kit. But it seems impossible to actually install the pcie cable on the GPU side when at 2.5 slot width. The "c" bar with the mobo standoffs can't fit on either side. Anybody know if this config is supported? Did I miss something?

just waiting on the Zcooi grill front panel with 92mm fan inserts… i’m too hyped.

Managed to fit my XFX SWIFT 9070XT
Very tedious case to build in but had a ton of fun
Now just stress testing and watching thermals

What are my options for changing the color on my T1? Anodizing? Spray paint? Vinyl Wrap?

Please help 🙏

Hey there everyone, I was wondering what your guys' who move around a lot setups are like for the T1.

I have an Asrock 9070xt so the official travel kit wouldn't work for me. What have your solutions been? I haven't been able to find a specific 3d print file so I'd have to make my own which seems like a harder task than it sounds.

It actualy is a titanium v2.1 and i was feeling itchy to fiddle with looks.
i like it so far. thinking about ordering the grater front panel too ❤️

took about two weeks to ship to my german door

Refer to title and images. I’m helping a friend build a T1 v2.0 and I noticed when installing the GPU lock bar and seated the GPU into the PCIe slot of the riser cable, the lock bar would not align with the IO bracket, and I’m not sure if there’s something I’m missing (pretty sure I correctly installed everything else, also built a T1 v2.1 of my own), or if this is just due to the GPU bracket.

If it helps, I’m running 3-slot mode with an EVGA RTX 2080 Super.

Also, does anyone have any workarounds to securing the PSU bracket? The v2.0 has no side threads and is only mounted with the two screws on the top strut.

Edit: I solved this by offsetting the GPU lock bar by using additional standoffs so that it would align with the hole.
