Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[Wahaha360]

Thank you for the update,

I was hoping you could explain the GPU clearance difference between the current model and the upcoming model.

How much space is behind the mobo to the mesh side panel?

Thank you
-Leo

The minimum space between GPU fans and Steel Mesh Side Panel is 4mm, if you space the GPU away from the Side Panel, obvious you get more clearance.

is the - Add Vertical Kit Accessory option compatible with V1.1? also will the pcie4.0 riser available separately and compatible with V1.1? thanks

Vertical Kit will *only work with V1.5.

PCIe 4.0 will work with V1.1.

Would the formd v1.5 support 240mm EK AIO + 2x 25mm full size fans (such as the noctuas) which are a popular configuration option (instead of having to compromise with 15mm slim fans)?

No. It can only work with at least one slim fan

Hi Wahaha360, thanks for your reply but I was asking if the gpu compartment is getting any additional clearance? As shown here, is the marked space changing?

Based on slot spacing, I would posit that space can be adjusted anywhere from 25mm to 65mm.

colour me interested!

- T1 V1.5 Unibody Front edition, USD160-210, available in US, UK, AU, DE, CN *only

can you share why? if it's available for CN can I sneak in for VN?

Can Canada be considered part of the US?

Shipping, no preorders planned, just weekly drops.

Are you still doing priority for people who cancelled their early 2021 T1 orders?

Also, you mentioned 5950X on Noctua C14S + 3080TI. Have you done or plan on testing this setup to compare performance and thermals with the traditional EK 240mm AIO + aircooled 3080/80Ti/90 setup? Myself and I'm sure others are planning the same build, so it would be nice to know which option is better.

- Add *new Tempered Glass Air Flow Side Panel


Pending Update:
- NCASE M1 Layout Kit (include Notuca C14S Air Cooler Kit)

2 questions regarding the above:-

a. can you explain in a little bit more details about this air flow TG side panel? Do you mean, the TG side panel has perforations to assist air flow?

b. with this M1 Layout Kit installed, what is the max clearance for a tower air cooler? C14S, with the fan on top, is 142mm tall. So, 142mm has to be the minimum?

 

[descuder]

Hey, really excited about the 1.5 update post! Are there any hard numbers yet for CPU / GPU height clearance at each GPU slot increment (1.25 - 3.25)?

 

[Wahaha360]

Hi Wahaha360, thanks for your reply but I was asking if the gpu compartment is getting any additional clearance? As shown here, is the marked space changing?

No change compare to V1.1

 

[Wahaha360]

Testing new shipping method, the shipping company limits to certain countries.

Can Canada be considered part of the US?

We are trying to warehouse in US to ship from US, but it's limited to what the shipping company can offer, and CA is not among our options at the moment.

We were always the crazy neighbor down south, you sure you want to

Check 5950X on Noctua C14S + 3080/3090 in NCASE M1, you can compare to EK 240 no?

It's about air cooling's superior reliability and ease of install, not about pure performance.

48mm to 87mm in sandwich mode.

Testing new shipping method, the shipping company limits to certain countries.

understood, hope this method will work out. I'm asking more because I prefer the unibody front than the two-tone. just to confirm unibody means a single piece of alumnium right? not just that it's a single colour?

 

[ellroy80]

Optional. This new TG panel allows airflow, for cooling sake, so the cost really bit crazy because the yield is terrible, right now nearly 1 out 20 will succeed, so imagine breaking twenty glass panels to get one working, this is why is quite expensive.

Thanks wahaha. Just so it's clear for me then, the standard panels will be steel mesh, with the option for TG on one side, and you're looking into making aluminium (mesh?) a possibility?

 

[Famaku]

Deep mini-ITX support, awesome! Although I wonder how adding just 5mm enables such boards to fit
