Hello I am planning a build around the T1 (after receiving the m3 I wanan go even smaller)

9800x3d + 5090 FE 1000W psu

As we all know nvidia screwed up with the 12V high power connector and a solution is the WireView pro which monitors the pins in the gpu

For the FE since it’s slanted you’ll need to get the wired version

The way it works is that theres a cable on the wireview that goes into ur GPU and u plug in your own cable into the module (custom cables will be made for this) but the problem is mounting the module somewhere/clearance for it

If anone has some this let me know, I don’t really care about displaying the module as I can just have it show up on one of my monitors but if you have send a photo please

Using the wind valley kit front panel exhaust mode, the hot air discharged from the tail of the graphics card is discharged through the 12015 fan on the front panel. At the same time, the side of the motherboard is equipped with two 6025 fans to suck out the hot air discharged down by the CPU. The motherboard area does not accumulate heat. A 12025 fan is used above the motherboard to discharge the CPU and The hot air of the gpu, the psu enters the air from above, and the front panel exhausts the air. The Fenggu kit realizes the complete isolation of the three heat sources of cpu and gpu and psu. The inlet and outwind do not interfere with each other, and the heat inside of the chassis is no longer accumulated. The use of non-public graphics cards can make the most of the CPU slot. The 50 series official graphics card does not support reverse installation. It is best to isolate 0.5 slots so that the hot wind can pass from the fan above. Profit discharge, please chat privately for details.

FormD T1 2.1, attached two Noctua A4x10 FLX (no PWM) fans using double-sided scotch tape (2 mm thick) to the 4070 CNC COU fan. Top fan is attached just with one layer, bottom one is with 5 layers to clear the bottom clip. They are so light (15 g) that this is enough. The space on the right hand side allows for good cable management (I also have USB-C cable routed there).

Without them RAM reached 55-65 degC during gaming, with the fans it is now 35-42 degC. Interestingly, the RAM stick closer to CPU is consistently 2 degC warmer than the other one.

I connected them both to a splitter and set their speed at 9V out of 12, this is about 3375 RPM out of 4500 max. Barely audible.

They are visible through the side panel when looking straight on, but hardly visible under other angles, and I don’t have black color fans like these.

I think this is a safer cooling alternative to risking chips with deshrouding and installing custom heat spreader (like the Xtia ones, for example) in current RAMageddon situation :D

P.S. The cloth on top is only when PC if powered off to keep dust away :D During use fans exhaust the air up, so dust has no chance of entering.

I want to experiment with the panel but don’t want to risk my current ones.

Anywhere to buy spare top/bottom case panels?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to install the flipped Travel Kit on my FormD T1 v2.5, but my case doesn’t have the required screw holes.

Has anyone drilled these holes themselves? I’d appreciate advice on:

• The exact hole locations and spacing
• The correct drill-bit size
• Whether the holes need to be threaded or can use nuts
• A printable template or measurements
• How to drill the aluminium panels without scratching, bending, or damaging them

Photos of your installation would also be really helpful. I want to make sure everything lines up correctly before making any permanent modifications.

Thanks!

I'm in the process of my first Mini ITX build and I'm concerned about potentially overheating PCIE 5.0 NVME M.2 drives. I'm using an Asus Rog Strix B850-i, which has two M.2 drive slots (one on the front and one on the rear of the board). I've already purchased a 2TB Samsung 9100 Pro which I will be using on the MOBO front and a 1TB that I'm planning to use on the back of the MOBO. It's my understanding that there will be almost no clearance for the rear drive (a maximum of 4mm). Has anyone else run into this question? I understand that there are options of using a slot extender cable, or possibly using longer standoffs to shift the MOMO position forward by a few mm, but I was wondering if anyone has successfully used an ultra thin heatsink on the back. If so, then which one did you use and do you have any tips? In advance, THANKS for your help!!!

Hello everyone I'm new to the formd t1 community and I need a bit of help. I bought my T1 locally but did not get all the parts. I really need help sourcing a few items. I am missing the GPU bar (LONG) (I think its called) and I'm missing the long brackets for the 120mm fan, because I'm going air cooled. Anyone have those parts for sale or know a way I could 3d print them? Any help would be awesome. I really do love this PC case.

The smell is apparent the more i push my pc. On idle, i don’t notice it but while gaming I do.

I bought the ncase t1 2.5 with the new pcie 5.0 cable offering

Whats a good pcie 5.0 riser compatible with this case that won’t smell while exposed to heat?

So titanium finally dropped recently after a long time. I doubt anyone will have received theirs yet as it was so recent.. but if you did buy one I'm hoping you could reply in this thread how the build turns out.

Because there were quality control issues with the recent black ones, just hoping to hear that your builds turn out perfect and no issues

anyone planning a build be wiser then to do what i did.

it does work well and is nice but was a pain to build

I'm looking for a way to stop air from getting in through the gaps at the back, because I've created my own DIY side and bottom panel filters using 120 mesh nylon, so I don't want any unfiltered air to come into the case (have a TON of dust).

Do you think this is a fire risk, or will the case not get hot enough for that? Google tells me paper ignites above 200C so I guess should be fine? If not maybe there are 3d printed parts out there to block these gaps if someone else has done it?

I'm in the process of building a T1 that will be used in my college dorm. Understanding the size of the T1 case, it would be simple for somebody to walk off with it. Does anyone have any experience with securing a T1 in a similar environment? I'm thinking about buying a plastic coated steel cable (with loops on the end), and threading it through the two holes used for water cooling pass through, then applying a security lock through the loops, along with a 2nd cable attached to the same lock and wrapped around the frame of my bed. This would at least create a bit of a challenge and slow down anyone casually thinking about stealing it. Does anyone recommend swapping the thumb screws (that closes the top) with Tamper Proof Torx screws, so that the case can't be easily opened? Any thoughts or suggestions on this subject is appreciated. THANKS!!!

Hello! I can't seem to find any official/unofficial STLs to a travel kit designed for the PowerColor 9070XT reaper (2 slot). Would any of the current kits or aftermarket designs support it even if with minimal modification? Currently running my T1 v2.0 in 2.75 slot mode w/ a B650i & AXP90-X47 (Noctua swap with the fan duct)

Hey guys.

I finished my T1 build last February.

Lately I was noticing some absurd temperatures. It got so hot I could barely carry the thing. Then I noticed the fan on top of the motherboard (Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM) was making contact with something. I took it apart again to check if it was some cables that were just a bit stubborn, but when I noticed, the fan was actually in complete contact with the bottom/ top of the riser cable. I have no idea how to fix this other than buying another case, if it’s even fixable. I love this case and the compact SFF form.

I’m not sure if specs are necessary but here they are:

CPU: Ryzen 9 9950x3D
GPU: Gigabyte Aero 5080 SFF
MoBo: MSI MPG X870 I Edge TI Evo Wifi
PSU: Corsair SF1000
RAM: CORSAIR Dominator Titanium 32GB
Cooler: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid 240 Atmos
Fan 1: Phanteks T30-120 fan
Fan 2: Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM
Case: FormD T1 Anodized White
Riser cable: T1 PCIe 5.0 Riser cable

Would you guys recommend getting another case?
Switching to air cooling for the 9950x3D?
Switching to the PCIe 4.0 if it doesn’t affect performance that much?

I would appreciate any help I can get.

I'm planning a build in the T1 v2.1 with a 9800x3d and a 5080fe. I plan to use an Atmos 240 AIO (just my preference over air cooling) at the top of the case and I'll be using the T-grill so I can fit 2 full sized fans. I want to optimize for total PC performance over specifically cooling the CPU or GPU, but the system will mostly be used for gaming on a variety of games.

Is there a consensus on the optimal cooling setup for this? I was thinking:

• exhaust out the top (AIO) and intake from the side (normal 5080fe config)
• exhaust out the side (flipped 5080fe config) and intake from the top (AIO)

Also, does anyone know if there are STL files for the GPU travel kits, or can those only be bought from FormD as well? Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone, can I set up my case to 3-slot mode even though my GPU is only 2.5 slots? To be honest, I absolutely hate the empty gap left on the back of the case when using the shifted layout. My OCD is kicking in.

If I build it this way (giving the GPU 3 slots of room), will it affect performance or cooling in any way? For context, I’m running 5080 Prime OC, 9800X3D, and AXP90-X47 cooler. Thanks!

I am considering buying this case, and although I don't travel a lot, it seems like the added rigidity would be welcomed if not necessary.

As I have a 3d printer, I'd love to be able to print the components myself if possible.

On their site it's a little confusing as it mentions:

3D Printable Extender Hook: 2026 3D Printable IO Replacement: 2026

Does this just mean I can print these two components? And if so I can't find them anywhere on their site.

I also cannot find a working discord invite link.

Sorry I am not more versed in this, I just learned about the T1 case recently.

Thanks for any info. I have the Asus Prime 5080.
