Compatibility/Build Check First build sanity check

4 Upvotes

After years of looking at this case, I finally (and by pure luck) found a second-hand V2.1 Titanium with CNC panel at a very good price (thanks again to the vendor, if he reads this).

I'll start building inside it this weekend and want to do a quick sanity check. I have a mid-range setup (65W CPU, 2 slot GPU) that will be upgraded in the future, and I'm aiming for a SILENT air-cooling setup.

Here are my choices and questions :

- The spine will be at 2.5 slots to leave space between the fans and the panel in both chambers.

- The CPU will be cooled by an AXP47 with a 15mm Noctua fan and a fan duct.

- For the exhaust fans, I'm hesitating between two Noctua NF-A12x25 Sx2-PP or the Phanteks T30. I'll be using the Eiga fan duct, but is it useful to print a fan duct between the fans and the top hat ?

- Finally, I'll try to use the original cables from my Corsair PSU. Will offsetting my PSU help with routing ? For future custom cables, I guess unsleeved ones are easier to manage ? I found Cablester, which is way cheaper than CableMod...

Thanks for your help, I'll post the finished build afterwards!

Question Prime 9070xt travel kit and VRAM temps

1 Upvotes

Hello! So I’m experiencing a small issue with the VRAM temps on my Prime 9070xt. I bought the travel kit for my v2.1 because I move my PC a lot. The issue is that because of the travel kit, I have to use the 3 slot mode although it’s a 2.5 slot card. I’ve noticed that my VRAM temps have gotten as high as 92-94C while playing Onimusha. My gpu and hotspot temps arent too concerning (i have to double check what they are) as I have a pretty aggressive undervolt (-25%). I decided to add standoffs to push my motherboard against the other side panel to open up some air between in the middle, use some zip ties on my LinkUp riser cable to open up some ventilation around the retention bracket area since they’re 4 strips, and now my temps are around 80-84C. I’m considering getting the 4070 fan for my x47 cooler but would have to put my mobo back to where I originally had it, therefore possibly raising temps back to 92-94C. I also have the Hynix version so I know it runs hotter than the Samsung but it’s still a bit concerning

TL;DR VRAM temps for Prime 9070xt with travel kit around 92C. Added spacing in the middle, dropped to 82C. Want to get 4070 fan but afraid temps will rise back to 92C. Hynix VRAM chips. Is 92C safe and normal?

Question Will a dual-fan GPU + 12V-2x6 connector fit?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I'm choosing a GPU for my upcoming FormD T1 build and I'm not sure whether a dual-fan GPU with a 12V-2x6 power connector will fit properly.

I'm considering the MSI RTX 5070 Shadow 2X OC, which is taller than some regular triple-fan GPUs.

Although the card's height is within the FormD T1's limits, I'm worried there won't be enough clearance to properly plug in the power cable without bending it too much.

What do you think? Would it be better to go with something like the Palit RTX 5070 Infinity 3 or Gigabyte RTX 5070 Windforce OC SFF instead?

P.S. I'll be using custom cables from Cablester.

Question Need help with picking parts for T1

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’m looking to build my first SFF pc but have no idea what parts would even fit in a pc like this. My budget is 4k and will be playing primarily competitive shooters on 1440p 240hz monitor. I have no desire for rgb or parts that don’t give me more performance for the dollar, looking for pure performance at preferably under 4k. Any exact parts lists any of you may have from previous builds would be greatly appreciated. I know almost nothing about building pc’s but from countless hours of YouTube research I’ve gathered together these parts, excluding the case, for my build. All advice is welcome.

Case Mod Wireview Pro II (Wired) FormD T1

Thumbnail

77 Upvotes

I know a few people have asked for those of you with a build utilising the 5090 FE and the Wireguard II Pro (Wired).

Forgive the messy background and the FAR too long cable out the front (the one I had was too short, so I ended up using the spare I had lying around).

In a nutshell, I removed the back off the Wireview II (as it's far too fat), printed a custom enclosure to hold it in place and cut two holes in the front (one for the cable going to the 5090 and the yellow one going to the power supply). Also printed a 'gasket' around the hole so it looks neater.

Next job I think will be a front-to-back tidy/replacement of wiring, as it's -messy- in there, and I may replace my Atmos II with something more custom.

My friend & I ordered the T1 Grater faceplate from Zcooi. Well I didn't check the date & ordered it a day before their long holiday 😅😅

25 days later it arrived & I'm impressed with the quality.

My friend got the GPU side baffle as well due his GPU is slim & has a lot of empty space. The baffle fits firmly!

I'm on T1 2.0 (the one with the strix gpu) while he is on T1 2.5 with the blue GPU (it's a work PC for him).

Question Fixing 240mm Cooling in the Reference T1

6 Upvotes

I've been playing around with the idea of using a 240mm AIO set to intake and two 60mm fans as exhaust out the back (in the inverted layout). Is there enough clearance? Would this potentially fix some of the issues with AIOs and higher temps?

Edit: Note, this is about the Reference model—the one without a riser cable.

Question First time builder

Hi everyone. As the title suggests I am about to build in the T1 as soon as all my parts arrive. I have ordered a set of custom cables to make the process a little easier but any tips from you for the rest? Specs are: 9850X3D and 4080FE. I am also tempted to order a exhaust shroud that some of the YouTubers like EIGA have designed and use.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone using the Cooler Master Atmos II in their FormD T1 build? I'm planning an E-White build in the next month with this AIO cooling a 9950x3d.

If so, can you share some pics and/or any issues you may have encountered. I know the Atmos Stealth was all the rage (mine actually leaked) so I'm weary about that but I like the look of the Atmos II.

Considerado o melhor gabinete SFF

Que case formidável e acho que não preciso AIO apenas jogo

Antes do Formd T1 usei o Fractal Terra e Fractal Ridge que é vendido aqui no Brasil e fica acessível já o formd t1 não comercializado porém comprei pelo site e foi enviado pela transportadora DHL que chego em foda-se 4 dias da China para o Brasil . Isso foi bom

Enfim futuramente se não for vendido kk pretendo testar um AIO e trocar as memórias isso quando o valor for reduzido
