Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[DrHudacris]

Agreed. I think about more reviewers calling it FDfab T1 on YouTube and I don't think it will help. I don't think it will sound good. Say it out loud a bunch and imagine yourself being Linus. A name needs to be strong. They aren't things to take lightly. Sidearmd T1 was freaking solid. Why even add the fab? I get where you're going but I really think it falls short. All in all I think you should push yourself for a brand. Let the case be called the T1.

It's like sliger with their cases Sliger Cerberus, Sliger sm560, Sliger sm580. Sliger is strong name and then they have their models. When you talk to others and say you bought a Sliger case or the ncase everyone knows you bought a good case. Dancase a4, Dancase s4 or whatever the new one is. I'm not saying to become them but to decide on your brand. Do you want your brand to be FDfab? Do you want any of these names to really be your brand? SidearmD your brand or the name of the case? I think that's why you're having so much difficulty right now but maybe I'm mistaken. Just trying to give some critical feedback and hopefully help. I'd personally stick with the T1 and when you figure out the brand throw it in. No pressure that way.

Also agree. FDFfab doesn't really roll off the tongue.

In keeping with weapons (but not firearms), what about
-Arsenal (Arsenal T1)
-Armament (Armament T1)

Or play with Form Design a bit (but as others mention, the "fab" part is awkward).
-Forma (Forma-T1)
-FormD (FormD T1)

 

[oopsiesoup]

you said you wanted to keep it plain simple, i think it may work when reviewers say "this is the S-T1 from Form Design" or "this is FormDesign's S-T1"

You guys are beating a dead horse, the name is finalized, not my problem if you don't like what @Wahaha360 chose.

 

[VegetableStu]

guys, he needs the payment processor up so that he can ship the orders. let's not dwell on the name of the outfit ._.

 

[Gr3nd3l]

I would rather have him work out all the payment processing and have a not so great name than have nothing at all
Anyway if I am lucky enough to get one I will just say I have a T1.

Even with the name being finalized, Forma T1 sounds beautiful.

Best not to use "Forma" to avoid confusion with XFORMA.

Never heard of that case but damn $1300 is a lot for a case.

I'm also curious if taller memory will work with the tubes in the 3 slot orientation. I have some Trident Z memory I'd hate to get rid of if the tubes don't fit.

You can also just remove the heatsink!
Anyway, one of my option is to have the tall memory and route the cable around, so you will have an answer in that!
But I am using the alphacool 12,7x7,8mm tubes, just FYI!

It's not your problem if your customers don't like the choice?

People are simply trying to help. If that help isn't wanted, then I guess it's time for that conversation to end. I really hope launching a case called the FDFabulous goes well.

If @Wahaha360 doesn't want to change it, there's nothing anyone can do, it's been 3 days and he's more than happy to leave it the way it is.

 

[Wahaha360]

let's play nice

Had a discussion internally, I'm leaning to change b/c I don't want the same initials as Fractal Design.

Currently thinking about Formd, Forma, OP or EVO, in no particular preference / order.

Why is Aorus x570 so unpopular here? Is there something I should know?

I was also curious about why every ryzen motherboard was a strix.

My, very basic, research conclusion:

The strix has 3 fan headers, 7 type A usb ports.

The aorus has 2 fan headers, 5 type a usb ports.

The phantom gaming seams to have a lot of compatibility issues.

I currently own a gigabyte motherboard, I like the dual BIOS features and the fan software.

I like Formd the best.

I don't care much for OP.

Like a lot0 the Form.D!! Very straight, clean, professional.

@gteixeira I've chosen the Strix for the USB ports mainly, and because in the last 2 years, had both Gigabyte and Asus ITX, and I like the general quality of the last one much more!

How are your Chipset temp and Chipset fan speed? Mine is always on, 6000rpm minimum, 80 degrees temp. It's the most annoying sound of the entire system.

Here my "feeling lucky" system, should work even with the 2 slot GPU and having the tubes of the cpu block routed on top, around the RAM wrapped with the DDR4 EKWB heatsink.

And a really hard test with Blender Benchmark running together with FurMark.

PBO enabled as in the last video of Buildzoid: PPT300, EDC TDC 230.

I have also an Optimus Foundation Block to try, but this system is pretty solid!

Great to hear that u r open to changes
Formd sound the best imo

 

[oopsiesoup]

in gaming OP means OverPowered which may sound too cocky. EVO is nice but may cross paths with Samsung and Mitsubishi. Formd is still kind of FD which you wanted to stay away from. Forma is ok i guess idk but its way better than fab

 

[McPhee]

I'd rank "Formd" as an improvement on the "Sidearmd" you started with TBH. No undesirable connotations, and keeps the "dropped e" which has become recognisable.

 

[darthrex]

So is there any kind of definite release date? I may have jumped the gun and snagged an Eisbaer LT and now Im itching to throw more money after it.
