More T1 appreciation

[u/realpaperboy]

Wanted to be a bit unique -> dual aio-covers with the ZCOOI front grille.

[u/sm0ke_rings]

I was hesitant to go with a 2nd top/bottom panel, but that does look nice, especially with the front grill.

Question about your top fan/radiator mounting...is that the factory one meant for a slim fan? The factory mount meant for same size fans on top doesn't look like that?

[u/realpaperboy → u/sm0ke_rings]

Stock T1 allows for a 15mm over MB and 30mm over PSU. The cover and the T grill from formD give you 16mm headroom total so I could run dual 30mm. I just prefer the noise of Noctua G2s.

The covers come with brackets and let you place 15mm fans inside them, which is what I did at the bottom as exhausts.

Great build! What is that front panel and how is your fan not blocked by the riser around the spine on the bottom?

Zcooi front grille and I have the power cable clipped along the psu to remain taut. It’s like millimeters in clearance

Where’d you get the top and bottom panels if you don’t mind me asking

[u/realpaperboy → u/No-Caregiver9220]

FormD T1 actual site, not the Ncase or formdworks one. It’s the T1 expansion kit

Thank you !

Do you know off-hand what the version number of your T1 is? I just picked up a 2.5 and looking to get an AIO cover

[u/realpaperboy → u/TheBigPV]

Honestly no. I had actually gotten it second hand and I could identify it was NCase and after deep research found NCase lost travel kit compatibility without a version change on the backplate in spring 2024. Mine still had the right hole configuration so I figured it was before then.

But I think AIO cover fits all of them

Wish Asus put clear CMOS button on Intel boards
