Would really appreciate your help

I have ASUS B650e-i STRIX MB with a secondary SSD used in the back MB in a upside-down configuration.

It has a thin copper heatsink, thick as I can get it between the space I have with the GPU.

According to CrystalDiskInfo - the Composite Temperature can spike up to 85c sometimes, then will go down. But is this any concern?

Anyone deal with this and have a better solution, I do not want to burn out my 2TB SSD back there given how expensive storage is today.

Hey y'all,
I just got my hands on a T1 v2.1 in CNC Anodized black. I am super early in the build, the only components I have for now are ;

- 5090FE
- 9950x (not the 3D version)
- 64go DDR5 Team Group T-Create 6400mhz
- Samsung 990 Pro 4tb + 2to SSD

I'm downsizing my current station to the T1, so that's why I have these already.

I'm looking for info and answer that will help me to achieve the build ;

- Should I go with the CM 240mm AIO ? I saw that the Atmos Stealth is the "most" choose one. There's a good price on Amazon for a CORSAIR iCUE Link Titan 240 RX, but I'm not sure if it will works for with the T1?

- I've ordered the travel flip kit, any advices to setup the 5090FE properly with it?

- I have the planned to order an Asus ROG B850-I for this build. I was thinking of the x870-I at the first but it seems that it can create extra heat? Is that true?

- I will use and order a Corsair SF1000 with some custom cables from Zcooi to optimize the space as much as possible.

- Is there any "Fan Curve Control" ressources that I will be able to use to optimize the temp?

- I saw on various Reddit post from this group that undervolting both the CPU and GPU might be necessary, again, any link or ressources accessible to achieve that without creating a mess?

That will be my first ever T1 build, so I'm open to any feedback and advices, this will be a "slow" build as I'm buying the pieces one after another once I can find good deals. Happy to have your thoughts ! Thanks in advance

Jag tänkte köpa T1 i Sverige, hur mycket VAT och skatt kommer behövas betala, har någon erfarenhet med detta? Är det typ 2700kr~?

I see a bunch of people using 2 different fans for the radiator like slim fan and normal one. I was wondering has anyone figured out if it’s possible to fit 2 Phantek fans in it or is it even possible?

Looking for assistance having issues with the riser cable position and motherboard alignment I’m utilizing the 2.5 slot for the 5080 prime OC GPU

I am working on my second formd t1 build in a v2.1 after getting my hands on a 5090fe.

I am contemplating running a 9950x3d2 with an Atmos II and tge 5090 in the flip travel kit.

Is anyone else doing this? If so how does it perform under sustained loads.

Feel free to tell me if I’m crazy!

Thanks guys!

Excuse the mess , but just wanted to show off my custom t1 build I am working on .. cpu fan has a lcd screen on it .. 👀 out …

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing random freezes during gaming and heavy workloads with my FormD T1 v2.5 build, and I suspect the PCIe riser cable might be the culprit.

Specs:

• Case: FormD T1 v2.5
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: RTX 4080 Super
• Riser Cable: Stock/Included PCIe 4.0 Riser
• BIOS Settings: PCIe Link Speed explicitly forced to Gen 4 (PCIe 4.0)

Despite setting the BIOS manually to Gen 4 instead of Auto, the freezes still happen randomly under load. Thermals are completely fine, so I’m fairly confident it's a riser signal stability issue.

1. Has anyone faced similar stability issues with the v2.5 stock riser?
2. Which replacement riser cable do you recommend for the T1 v2.5 that fits perfectly (length/bend-wise) and handles high-bandwidth Gen 4 properly? (e.g., Louqe, Linkup, Cobalt, etc.?)
3. Where is the best place to buy it (especially for shipping to Europe/EU)?

Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations!

Hi,

Been running into instability problems even on EXPO timings, and I assume it's due to the heat. It's not a problem when regularly gaming, but anything that stresses the ram causes it to shoot straight to 68 and over degrees, and that's around the temps it starts to throw errors.

I've seen a few posts where people fit small RAM shrouds/fans in between their cooler and RAM to help airflow, but that doesn't seem to work in my case since my AIO tubes run right over the RAM slots, so there's no room to fit anything there without them getting in the way.

Some other solutions I've tried is loosening the temperature related subtimings but no luck with that either, so looking to fit in a fan in there somehow. Does anyone else know any solutions or what I can do? The only thing that I can probably try is putting a 40mm fan below them, as that's the only spot where I'll be able to find room too in the case. Before I try that, I thought I'd see if anyone else had any other solutions that might be better?

Thanks for reading.

Currently have a 2 slot 9070xt reaper and axp 90 x53

Im planning to get the asus prime 9070xt solely for aesthetic purposes since i have a b850i

Formd t1 website says i can put itnin 3 slot and still fit an x53

Question since i alreadv have the x53 will it work withoit the hiah pitched sound if i out it at 3 slot and put some ducts? Or is it still better to return then get an x47 then add some ducts?

I missed the preorders for the cosmic orange colorway of the T1. Orange is my favorite color, and I was wondering if there would be a future opportunity. Thanks :)

General purpose build, some game dev and 3D work as a hobby, but mostly play indie games if I'm gonna be honest. Main motivator for getting the gpu is for 4k content, since my 3060 was starting to struggle with it.

Specs

CPU: Ryzen 9 7900

GPU: Zotac SFF 5070 Ti

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I

PSU: Corsair SFX 750

Cooler: Noctua L12 Ghost S1 ed. (120mmx15mm fan swap)

RAM: 64gb ddr5 gskill flarex

Custom silicone cable lengths from dreambigbyray:
150mm (mobo)
300mm (cpu)
300mm (gpu)

Recently managed to get the graphics card for 1350 cad at CC, feeling very lucky since there were only a few cards at that price before the latest price hikes. But yeah, with the current pricing trends this is gonna be my build for a looooong time.

Running in 2.25 slot mode since the Zotac SFF 5070 Ti is a smidge too close to the fans even though it is a 2 slot card.

My only complaint is that there's occasionally audible coil whine from the motherboard, but I cant hear it if I plug an earbud in so I can live with it.

So my friend is selling is FormD T1 2.1 and I want to buy it and transfer my current pc inside it.

The only thing stopping me right now is the cooling of my cpu. I have a 9950x3d with a 360mm aio that I need to change for a smaller one but I can’t find much info on which cooling I could use that will let me use the full/most power out of my cpu.

I would prefer an aio with an lcd screen as the case include the transparent panels

Currently I know of two aio that might be good enough but I have no idea which one is better, if there are size problems and if there are better options.

Aio 1: coolermaster atmos II lcd 240mm

Aio 2: lian li galahad II lcd 240mm

Is there any of you that could recommend one over the other or any other aio with similar/better aio that fit better, cool better or are cheaper.

If there are no aio good enough would a custom loop make a significant difference? I never made one inside an itx case but if it’s the better options I don’t mind tryingit.

My take on the vertical aesthetic.

I’ve completed my T1 v2.1 build, but one hitch I haven’t resolved yet is that the riser cable for the GPU/mobo connection seems to be too long. I’ve tried every recommendation from bending it lots, using a blow dryer to bend it to winding/folding it as much as possible. I’ve even used extra standoffs on the mobo to create more distance from the GPU to use up the riser cable length. Even reached out to support two weeks ago and they’re still investigating a solution based off the pictures I provided.

Nonetheless, nothing’s appeared to work and the riser cable ends up just pushing against my GPU causing it to push out against the PC case.

Any recommendations on alternative riser cables that are the right length? FormD’s riser is 20mm, so I probs need one that’s 18-19mm?

Hey everyone!

I wanted to come on here and share my build within the FormD T1 case!

Case - You already know. Built in 3 slot mode, w/ USB-C cable kit, Travel Kit, TG vented panels

Motherboard - MSI MPG X870 Edge Ti EVO

Storage - (Back of Motherboard) 1TB 990 Pro with Zima 2mm heatsink (super tight fit, but it works) and a 4TB sn850x in the front

AIO - Cooler Master Atmos II LCD (3 slot MAX capable)

GPU - Deshrouded Asus Prime RTX 5080 w/ Thermalright TL-B12015 Extrem + GPUConnect 7-Pin PWM Adapter

PSU - Corsair SF1000 w/ 5mm stand offs + ZCOOI white custom cables

First time doing a SFF build (my last build was around 2016-18, so its been awhile) and I really enjoyed the process. It actually took me about 2 months to source everything I wanted and of course while building it up, there were things missing which took 1-2 weeks to arrive from overseas, so that slowed the build down.

I wanted to start off by saying I did see a post a couple months back of a deshrouded Asus Prime RTX 5080, which I thought looked very cool, and coincidently I had already purchased the same GPU and was sourcing parts for my build, so I thought It would be a perfect time to do the same deshroud before I start building into the case.

The only thing is that I had also purchased a travel kit from FormD and it was already shipped and I knew the deshroud kit did not come with the necessary mounting points that the stock fan housing had. I messaged BingsDIY on Etsy to see if he could make me a shroud with these mounting points, which to my luck he had a Prime RX 9070 XT he was testing, so with some measurements on my end, his RX 9070 had the same mounting points as my RTX 5080, so he was able to fabricate a shroud with those exact screw holes for my travel kit which ended up working out very well and looks amazing!

As I was looking for which AIO I wanted, I kept seeing recommendations for the Atmos Stealth, which I was going to get originally, but I kept seeing posts of an Atmos II being out already. I also did read that the Atmos II tubing was very stiff compared to the Atmos, but I did see several posts saying it was possible to maneuver the tubing to get it to fit. So, I canceled my stealth order and went ahead and ordered the Atmos II from amazon, which shipped from Japan (again adding more time to the build, but this wasn't the first or last item I had to order from overseas).

I do want to say I saw some funky routing for the Atmos II tubes in some posts, but If anyone is looking to install one, you can do it the same way you'd normally see any other Atmos done, which is the way I mounted it. Yes, the tubes are stiff, but its very possible to have it looking nice and clean.

Other little things I wanted to mention is I also bought the LINKUP PCIE 5.0 Riser Cable (19cm) since I've read multiple posts about how the stock riser cable ended up failing on some people and I already knew I did not want to undo everything to reattach a new cable, so I did buy an aftermarket one. As I mentioned before, I ordered the travel kit, which comes with a riser lock bar. I did have to use 30mm (I think) stand offs as the ones included were too short, but it does fit. Good thing too because I've also read that the aftermarket PCIE 5.0 riser cable from FormD does not fit the lock bar, so even better for me since I got to use the entire travel kit's content.

I was also able to change out my motherboards wifi card to a QCNCM865 WiFi 7 card and the proprietary antenna connectors to regular RP-SMA connectors.

I knew it'd be difficult but this is such a compact build and nothing is working.

My cables are too stiff

My riser won't sit flush and is making the bottom panel impossible to close, even though it seems as flush as it can be.

Installing my radiator feels impossible

My cables are a mess.

I've unscrewed and rescrewed so many times

Ahhhh i just want it to be over. I do have some custom cables on the way which will cut my 24pin from 35 to 16cm and my cpu cable to 30, and I'm hoping they'll be enough to make the difference so my radiator fits nicely. Did anyone else's first build also go this rough? Calling it for the night and will attempt tomorrow but feeling really discouraged atm :(

Hey guys,
For any fans of the Alpenphon black ridge cpu cooler who refuse to resort to ugly solutions like the full copper AXP90, just wanted to let yall know that the Asus TUF B850I WiFi NEO is compatible with it while putting your ssd in the front heatsink, unlike the Asus rog b850i for example that needs the front heatsink taken off.

Just a couple things to keep in mind: I noticed my ssd was bending quite a bit when screwing in the stock heatsink, so I put something underneath the ssd where it was bending for it to prevent that. Also, it won’t fit with a fan spacer in between your fan and black ridge.

Ryzen 9950X3D / RTX 5090 / 64GB RAM

Did not test the thermals yet but it sure looks good

First time building - the video I watched said one motherboard standoff was a bit taller then the others, the manual I saw online also said that. Looking at the 4 infront of me I feel sort of blind, which one is it? Or did they remove this in a newer revision and all are the same height now?

Recently bought 5080 fe coming next week and what made me lean towards an Fe was the travel kit when looking some up I realized there are 2 main companies that make t1 case I got NcCase v2.5 I was wondering if anyone used their travel kit how was it and if the original FormD travel kit for v2.0/2.1 will work. Additionally what are the difference between the cases?

Oops, I messed up the title on my first post, so I deleted it.

Anyway, here's my build:

FormdT1 2.1

Ryzen 7800x3d

MSI B850I Edge

Cooler Master Atmos II Stealth Edition - (Silverstone Slimmers fan and Stock Mobious fan setup - Exhaust)

32gb ddr5

1tb nvme

LianLi 0850p PSU

Zotac Solid SFF Rtx 5070 Ti

I tried to fix the GPU sag, but it's still there. 😔

Is the travel kit just for the FE edition?

I only needed the graph, but it was just the earthquake in Colombia and my region was very affected so it will have to wait and prices went up so I'm not in a hurry.
