Trident Z has a height of 44mm, in the 3-slot config there is 50mm of CPU clearance so it should be fine.

A small point to note that a CPU on it's socket is 8mm above the PCB surface, whereas the bottom of the DIMM slot is 3mm above the PCB surface. What this means is a CPU cooler height clearance of 50mm means a RAM module height clearance of 55mm.
Pic to illustrate:
Take a look at my build, have almost the same only with a 120 instead of 240. I routed both tubes trough the bottom. Using 8/11 tubes.

TRUE! Ahahahah, because the case is flippable I've lost the meaning of bottom-top
Thanks!
My case finally arrived today, I'll try to move my build in there asap, but I need to do a stress test in the A4 first, to directly compare those two cases ^^
How exactly do you mount the 240aio? The fan and radiator won't fit together under the fan mounting rail but it will fit if the rails aren't used. Then when the rails aren't used the radiator doesn't have anywhere to mount to so it just wobbles around on the bottom.
There are two sets of Fan Bracket, use the low profile Fan Bracket under the motherboard. 15mm Slim Fan + LT240 will work.
You can change the fan control option in the monitor settings. Change it DC and this will allow you control the pump speed in Qfan. But 60% is the minimum you can set it. Took me a little while but I found it in my strix x570.
I’m completely overlooked your build because it looked like you had the 2 spot config lol. Total brain fart on my end. Do you have more pics on how you routed the tubes? And which tubes you used?
I was looking at Ghost S1 and came across FormD T1 from Optimum Tech @ Youtube and I am in love with this one. I am in Asia/Pakistan to be specific. FormD works website is asking for a password so does that mean no more Pre-orders right now?
Please refer to the first page, the website is not finished as of now.
For now only CN/HK people can order via QQ.
Thank you for your reminder, already read page one before posting. Problem already solved..
I feel so lucky to be in China rn. Already got my t1. Though one minor annoyance is cable management but that's totally on my part for being a crappy cable manager. Also, the rgb of the forum is really hurting my eyes is there a way to turn it off?
There's a button in the bottom left corner of the page with 'RGB' in default, click it and you can switch the style in the pop-up window.
not sure if this has been answered already, as I try to keep up to date with all the posts in this thread, but I might have missed it, but does anybody have any idea what those are for?
They are to help with fitting your mesh side panels securely against the frame. If you don't use them, you will be able to press the panels inward in certain locations when everything is put together.
See this pic of my build for example:
I'm using both a white version (at the bottom) and a black version (closer to the top) to keep my panels rigid.
Here are some close up shots. As you can see, I routed the tubes under the psu, 1 to the left of the plugs, 1 to the right, and then squeezed between the psu and front of the case. This way there’s only 2 bends and easy to place and remove.
Tubing I used was: Tygon R3400 - 8MM ID - 11.2MM OD - Black
Thank you so much! Which fittings are you using on your pump block?
This the only source I could find in the US for that tubing if anyone was curious. So, if someone wants some tubing if I order it I'll have some extra since I don't think I will need 50ft of this stuff.
