Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[notbitcoin]

Would you mind listing the connections you used in your loop and how many of them? I really like this setup. Sorry for the handholding, I've never custom looped and am not entirely sure what is needed.

it's really not an easy layout to implement if you aren't planning it all out to ensure compatibility. i'll list the fittings off, but know that this works because a) i am in the 3-slot gpu config, b) i'm using a 25mm radiator that allows for me to mount fans between it and the motherboard (creating space for the fittings), and c) i'm using a motherboard with a non-obtrusive heatsink + io cover on the side vrms/no heatsink on the top vrms/8-pin + fan connectors aren't in the way (8-pin is still rough, but obviously it works). if you deviate from this in any way (such as going with the TX radiator, which requires you to mount the fans above it), and it doesn't work out, then that's on you homie.

note that you also don't necessarily have to use these fittings in this exact manner (and you may want to use barrow instead of bitspower, where possible, to save money), i just had a bunch that i didn't want to go to waste, so i wound up working around them-

and then i have another https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1896 that i use to screw into the t-block to drain/fill with

best of luck if you do decide to try this though.

Quick question: I ordered the XSPC TX240 radiator. It was recommended as one of the best performers. I believe it's also one of the thinnest. What's the best Noctua fan to pair it with ? do I need the slim 15mm ones or can I fit the full 25mm ones ? Just looking for best noise/cooling performance that fits.

Somehow the notification didn't even reach my spam folder (googlemail). Was there some trick to it?
Luckily I was able to snatch one by coincedence.

I hope Formd.com will open with new stock soon!

(and maybe confirm if "silver" means silver body and silver mesh or silver body and black mesh, since there was some confusion...)

I think some contrast color with black mesh panel give more point plus for T1. Already order for Gunmetal and black mesh panel give more credit for me.

you'll need 2x 15mm thick fans placed between the panel and the rad

Hello all, first time posting here.

I am having trouble with fitting my loop. The cables are blocking the pump + res.
I decided to re-orient the PSU, a sf750, into the flipped position.

I am having trouble lining up the standoff with the side screw which screws in from the front face.
What am I missing here?

thanks.

Hi guys,

Received my case without any issue

Surprisingly, you can fit 3 fans with a H100x (27mm thick) with 0 bulging. The rad doesn't have the squared ends the H100i has meaning it goes all the way to the front. That gives you the room to fit 1 a12x25 below and 2 a12x15 above.

You can also fit a 92mm a9x14 around the m.2/VRM area even in 3 slots mod, you have basically the perfect clearance before the fittings get in the way (This was known to work with custom loops because of the thin block but I don't know if people knew it worked with some AIOs.)

Might make the H100x a great aio choice.

If it interests anyone I can take some photos.

Waiting your photos

I'm looking another AIO for T1 and will look best option.. Also can you share your specs too?

Here you go

Here you go

Right now The 92mm is held by double sided tape as this is just a test fit (hence the missing screws). Will think of something more permanent when the build is finalized.

For the specs same thing this is just a test fit with my current build (R5 3600 + 1080Ti) but the plan is to upgrade to R9 4900 and RTX 3090/6900XT whenever possible.

Also, I'll prob add a vinyl cover on the flipped corsair logo it's triggering me lol

oh, very nice build <3 good cable management I'm consider using 3 fans too.. will try to figure out..

Not quite done will hide the bundle of PSU cables a bit better, same with the pump cable.

Just in case here's the case closed: literally no bulge, closes easily without having to squeeze anything.

@gwertheim @Wahaha360 Will the new Instruction Manual have a list of all included screws, IKEA style? To check if none is missing before the assembling.
The components are really well packaged! Nit-picky feedback: the glue between the cardboard and the foam ended up in some of the components, but it's quite easy to remove.

@worldtour sexy looking GIF there! How did you secure the 120 fan over the motherboard?

It looks like you can push right angled end radiator from H100i RGB XT also all the way to the front or I am missing something? Anyway as soon my parts arrive I'm going to try similar 3 fans setup with Cooler Master ML240L v2 AiO

Nice build!

You know the RGB cover pops off so you can spin it 180º to have it the right way up?

Awesome post, thank you for all this! Its a bit more intense than expected but you basically answered every question I could have moving forward re: fittings and tubing so even if I don't go this route its still great info. Thanks!

Box of tissues ready to weep at the cost

Box of tissues ready to weep at the cost

And if the cost is reasonable.. also box of tissues.

 

[zacobin]

So I saw brief mention of it earlier but don't think anyone posted a build with it. Would the EK-XTOP DDC 3.2 be a good pump/top combo for this case? Assuming a reference card for GPU length

 

[TSOF]

And if the cost is reasonable.. also box of tissues.

Fabio's already shown that we can fit two cards in there...
