Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[posure]

Tracking notifications are going out via text now. Looks like DHL Express is handling the USA deliveries, so should only be 2-4 days to deliver (I've had a bunch of packages delivered by them out of shipping-locked Japan during the quarantine and they've always been on time or early).

I got a notification that DHL delivery is scheduled for July 29th (midwest USA). I got my initial shipping email on July 20th.

I see some users got their shipping notifications early. I was lucky and got the July 3rd order placed but no shipping notice yet. Should I be expecting a shipping notification on July 24th?

Same boat here. I'm not going to sweat it unless we're past 7/24! Still very glad to hear other people's updates, though.

Same here. I ordered the black one on the 3rd of July. Hopefully we’ll receive one tomorrow. If they’re shipping with DHL Express as someone mentioned they shouldn’t take a long time to arrive

Is anyone planning to post a video of building in the T1?

Guys, In my research to avoid any Alphacool component from my build, I've found this 2 DDC top of 21mm and 20mm that maybe can work!

XSPC Premium Laing DDC Acetal Top (Multiport)

This New Acetal Multiport top from XSPC is specially made for Laing DDC pumps. Not only that but, this particular pump top had the best flow rate of any DDC top in the market! XSPC continues to make some of the best water cooling components in the market!

@DrHudacris BTW, I think Alphacool has changed something:

EDIT: still NEW, but also the one I have on the website were advertised for 0,8 bar (LIARS!!!)

The 1U ES Reservoir now has the label "NEW" when you search for it and in the specs is rated for 0,8 bar!

Alphacool ES Reservoir 1U - DDC Version

The Alphacool ES reservoir for DDC pumps is specially designed for 1U server racks. The reservoir is extremely compact and integrated pump top for the DDC pump allows for extremely high pump performance. The large reservoir is more than...

But of course the availability is for October ?.

I think they are getting enough time to fix the leak issue with more powerful pumps.

Tomorrow I test the 1U with the RTV Silicone suggested by one user here. I've removed the existing gasket and used only the silicon!

Hey! I have this XSPC top and there are a couple things I'll note.

-The face with the outlet is slanted, yes slanted. So if you plan to attach this with fittings only you'll likely need a double rotary 90 to straighten the connection to reach the radiator.
-dimensions are 62.2 x 25 x 71 (a little longer due to the slant though). But you'll need to remember the top inlet needs a stop fitting approx +5mm

Picture showing the slanted face:

So what would these replace in your alphacool build? The DC-LT 40?

NICE!! Thanks a lot! And why you didn't try it?

WTF?? Why they've slanted it!

For the thickness of the stop fitting is ok, (mine is 3mm), and the MAX space is actually 49/50mm, so still "enough" space

Not replace, for now.
I want just to test the compatibility, easy of the mount, fill, drain, etc.
The DC-LT 40 is still the Easy and Safe choice

Either way was going to wait for you to test it since you have more experience than I do when it comes to these things.

Where do you attach the ddc pump.

Weird, Managed to find a XSPC TX240 rad for sale this morning a few provinces over on a private sale for $40 Cdn plush shipping, just after it was mentioned here, purely coincidence. Going to run my air-cooled GPU and just buy an Alphacool LT-solo pump and see how it goes until new GPUs are announced.

Any reason you're stepping away from Alphacool?

I can't wait to see pictures on how you mount the pump!

I was wondering what it was for. My case will be here next Wednesday! I’m located in Missouri. I wasn’t expecting the case for another 3 weeks or so. I still need to get my fittings for my loop.

Hey, I'm in Missouri too, my tracking says by the 29th as well!
