Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[Stinkybear]

2020-04-24 Update: Can't keep up with so many new posts. Created r/FormD - upvoting and downvoting feature will helps us prioritize response to questions and issues

This is meant to help ease congestion on this forum thread, not replace it.

Still working on the subreddit, will open to public when we are ready.

I think you're a mind reader because I was just trying to find this on reddit and found it didn't exist.

So updates and surveys will still be posted on this thread?

I did contact EK about this, but they said they won't be making a monoblock for other (ITX) X570 boards unfortunately.
Maybe they'd consider it, if more people reach out
They've made blocks for the non ITX Aorus Master, Aorus Elite and Strix-E.

I've also accumulated some insights over time and will look into it if it's of any added value. Need to check first if you haven't added it already

The more info the better! Send me a PM and we can work on adding some more stuff to the document.

Can't wait for the preorder.

I think I am finally done with the useful links document (except for formatting). I tried making sure I gave credit to everyone that has posted a build log in the thread. There is a lot of stuff in this thread. If I missed anything or something needs to be removed then please let me know. It is a lot of links and I highly recommend that you read a page or two after some of the posts linked as there is some good posts after the one I linked.

@Wahaha360 feel free to post this on the sidebar of the new subreddit.

Hi y'all!

Pretty new to forums and still just an intermediate builder... but man!, this case has convinced me to get my feet wet (in more ways than one... oh yes, time to confront water cooling again - my arch nemesis)

Google Doc above is incredible btw... those builds have me salivating already...

P.S.: Any chance the T1 won't be able to fit some of the upcoming RTX 3000 series though? Or does the 3 slot configuration eliminate that possibility? Anyways, guess they have to announce those cards first... :/

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

How long of a tubing run is this?

I don’t see FE/AIB 4 slot cards coming to GPUs for a while, if ever, considering they will be powered by more efficient nodes.

Edit: post was about r/formd, saw answer above. Thanks!

That's what I was thinking... some would say even 3 slot cards are a thing of the past now...

Can't seem to find the dimension and weight of the packaging of T1. Does anyone have the measurement and weight with it?

 

[Truth]

I'm also curious to know if there's any plans for the prior mentioned carrying case, because my sling bag for instance is only designed to carry an ipad pro 11 plus some smaller items, so the T1 is like 3 inches too long. For carry on, especially with a 240 aio such as mine will have, I just want to make sure it will be safe during transport, and this seemed the best solution.

I don't know the dimensions but this gives you an idea of the box. Weight is 3.3kg.

Packaging isn't final yet, but ditto this would also be nice to know for the final sales page.

Hmm, thank you for showing me this! Wasn't aware sadly, but I will admit I had imagined something more industrial and compact such as the case, rather than a full scale backpack, I will probably need to make my own small form factor carrying box that is only for the case and maybe a keyboard with some minimal wires.

Do your thing, whatever works for you
