Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

I really wish I had known about those screws before I bought the Eisbaer. How could a cooling company put mixed metals in their entirely custom OEM AIO.

As this thread has a lot of activity and I'm not sure you have the time to check every post, would you rather we send you the shipping suggestions elsewhere?

PM me and answer survey

@Wahaha360 How much clearance is there between the motherboard and the GPU? Are backplated GPUs likely to cause problems?

11mm, it should be fine for GPU backplates less than 3mm thick, most are.

Late night crazy check! Damn! IF only the Alphaccol DDC 1U didn't have this 2,5ssd mounting point!

But because of those, is a no

Wait for the Distro-Plate, I had the same idea for integrating the DDC into the Distro-Plate.

I'll start with the only negative I have for the whole experience, and that goes to the user manual. The second iteration is much more informative than the first one, but I ended up using a combination of both, plus Ali's build video for anything I had questions on. I think specifying which screws are for what would be greatly beneficial. Including each instruction in an album instead of separate links would be nice as well.

Working on the manual, just been busy with virus sideaffects.

If I had any concerns about anything, it would be the bottom front section of the mesh not having any support to keep it from bowing into the case. This might be a nonissue once I put parts in the case, but I don't see how that will fix what I'm talking about.

Use the white / clear rubber pad, attach it to the T frame, this will support the Side Mesh Panels.

The messages after that post determined the issue to be the plasticizer from the old PVC tubing that was used in an early version of the kit. PVC tubing has since been changed to rubber tubing in newer versions of the kit. Your first step is to determine which tubing you have, then change the tubing if necessary. There is no galvanic corrosion issue from mixed metals with this kit to my knowledge.

+1 for the custom cables from pslate.

More people seemed to have received their packages. Excited for this! ?

I have the @pslate one for the Ghost, and they are perfect! Just the CPU one should be 2cm longer, IMO.

EDIT: Working on it...

Do you have plans for a FormD 240mm radiator?

I think you have too few things on your plate, you need some work man!

11mm, it should be fine for GPU backplates less than 3mm thick, most are.

Thanks! Now I'm trying to eyeball it from pictures I've found online ?

The actual material the backplate is made of certainly looks thinner than 3mm. But if we include those risers between the PCB and the backplate in the 'thickness', then it looks less certain ?.

Does this thing look like a safe fit? Does anybody have one of these they could measure? ?

Well, the "feeling lucky" build is still on track! And, if you want to know, NO BULGE! (If you see any, is an optical illusion, like in the first page the pictures with the LT240!)

Removing ALL the rubber pad from the noctua fan, you get 1,5mm off, + the 27mm radiator, well, there are only 0,5mm of difference compared to the LT240 Build! .

Today is a good day...

I will love it! Actually if the front structure was flipped, so the wider space on he GPU side, will have way more space!

For now, I've found a solution with the DC-LT...

With 27mm there is only space for two 15mm fans, correct? No one 15mm and one 25mm? What is the upside of this specific radiator compared to the LT240 one?

Then you loose the 2.5" HDD support.

That's the dilemma.

Is this config bending the struts?

If you just remove the fan bracket all together, use double sided tape to secure the radiator to the outer panel, you should be able to get a little more space.

Anyone know if a second nvme ssd on the back of a strix z390 will fit in between the gpu and mb?

 

[panzermuffin]

That's the dilemma.

For me personally that's an acceptable dilemma. I use an NVME with my new build and no SSD. Again, for me it'd be an okay tradeoff if I had to choose between a distroplate/buying an NVME or no distroplate but SSD. But I see the problem for people who don't have the possibility to use a NVME.

No, there is no bend! No needed actually, is PERFECT!

It's still 16 FPI so good for the slim fan. but it has a ticker core, so, maybe, better temps? And you can buy it alone, and it's matching my EKWB Waterblocks!

About the fan, yes. Because the mounting brackets for the radiator are not long enough to move 1cm the radiator and clear the space to mount a 25mm fan!

Which sounds really awesome! Sorry for asking again, but would a 25mm thick fan and a 15mm thick fan be possible in this configuration? Already bought the 25mm thick one

Meanwhile, filling time!
