Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[gwertheim]

Thanks Tiny. Plan to talk to him tonight.
Need to just verify the model.

@Wahaha360 - can you specify the length and model number for the ADT riser you're using on the T1s.

@fabio any chance you can find that info on your case?

My Great and Mediocre Experience, so far...

The Good
Inspired by @fabio and his insane builds, I decided to try and get my hands on a T1.
While I always intended to buy one, the preorder delays have made it difficult for people not in China.
Luckily, I have a close friend that lives in China and managed to secure a case for me via the QQ group and FedEx it to the US.

This case is truly incredible. The thought that went into the design and the shear quality of manufacturing made it a joy to build in.
It is, hands down, the BEST and highest quality SFF case there is. I would think the NCASE M1 is a close second.

I have a very similar build to @fabio.
Spec:

• Ryzen 9 3950X
• ASUS ROG Strix X570-i
• Radeon RX5700XT
• EKWB Magnitude CPU Block
• EKWB Radeon GPU Block
• EKWB 240mm Rad
• DC-LT with Eisstation

While I'm no stranger to SFF, this is my first custom loop ever. The 5700XT is great for gaming. I would've used my WX8200 but unfortunately there is not water block support for it, that I know of. Maybe I will go the NVIDIA route down the route to a Titan or Quadro card for my modeling work.
@fabio thank you for your posts and incredible out-of-the-box thinking. I likely would not have made the jump into this case as quickly as I did had I not seen what it was capable of.

The Bad
Eager to get everything together, I assembled the entire PC in the case.
Looking back, I DEFINITELY should've bench tested everything.

Unfortunately it seems like my riser cable is dead. No video even though the computer POSTs.
Tested with the Ghost S1 riser and video outputs properly but the GPU side of the cable is a bit taller than the ADT so it doesn't fit in the case.

So now, I'm unfortunately stuck. Lead times to get anything from Amazon have become extremely long and I don't have another source for the ADT riser.

Does anyone have a spare, or a good source for them? I'd love to get one so I can start using the machine!

Does your friend need another friend? I’ll be his friend.

Despite your problem, thats a great build! All black tubing and a custom loop look amazing in this case, almost makes me want to do one.

@biggieprollz
This is the riser included! R33SF-TU of 20CM! BUT, as suggested, these are Gen3 riser, you have to try to force your motherboard to use the PCIe slot at Gen3.

Here the link.

PCIe x16 Extension Cable

PCIe x16 to x16 adapter for graphics video cards extension. design for ITX motherboard and chassis mini pc-case

www.adt.link

But you can try also the Link-UP Ultra 4.0, they say it's certified for the Gen4. (I am confident that the 25cm will work here, but maybe take the 30cm to be sure! )

Or the 3M, that it's an amazing riser that it Gen4 compatible (Only 25cm, so it's a super tight fit - I just placed them closer)

Will catch up on questions later, trying to get Distro Plate done today.

Are there any 5700XT cards that can fit in this case in 2 slot mode? I'm looking at the Red Dragon specifically

Please refer to the first post! GPU compartment measurements are there.

I just ordered a dozen stop fittings. I'm ready!

 

[Framen]

Just dropping by to say this case is gorgeous!

I also saw some awesome builds in this thread, wow

Someone asked about this card before and if I can recall correctly it was confirmed by others to be fine.

 

[gwertheim]

You ordered all the wrong fittings

 

[DrHudacris]

You ordered all the wrong fittings

You're right, I would need double the compression fittings also!

 

[threestripevida]

Just order all of the fittings!

@fabio
What radiator would you suggest me buying, if I would use the pump the same way you did?
I'm speaking about a full custom loop at this point.

In theory it should be possible to do push/pull with the slim noctuas on the PSU side, what do you guys think?

 

[fabio]

There is no reason to push/pull on a SLIM radiator. And in general the 25mm Fans are more effective and silent!

My suggestion is to use 1 Slim + 1 25mm Fan, or 2 Slim Fans (Will be a bit louder and maybe 2 degrees warmer).

About the Radiator: The EKWB Classic 240 is the only one I've tried, and I recommend it!

Maybe will be worth it to try also the 28mm, like the EKWB CoolStream 240 or the Swiftech 240 Hydrae GT!

 

[aexeq]

Thx man, I guess I'll check my local shop (Alternate) for good deals and see if something is may also be a great fit!

 

[aexeq]

So I just checked and the EK-CoolStream Classic SE seems to be the best option for me.

Also I wonder if the ports from the pump are enough to fill/bleed/drain the loop, or if a dedicated T part makes my life a whole lot easier.


Note for SSFN staff: I can't edit yet, so I have to double/triple post at some point.
