going from 3-slot mode to 1.25-slot mode gives you additional 35mm clearance over from GPU chamber to CPU chamber for radiator + fan (since CPU block + fitting clearance remains at ~50mm) -> TX240 + A12x15 would still work@Wahaha360 with the 2-rad configuration are you basically limited to the HJ slim rad? What is the max height for the side mounted radiator + fans?
DDC preferred.
I have all the components needed to build the dual 240 T1 V1.2, so I will comment more once I build it.
Just waiting for V1.2 prototype.
Is there any precise eta on the feb rma batch (ik in march, but which day)?
The psu is like 7cm thick, the GPU takes around 2.5-3 cm.... that is like around 10 cm .... the whole case is 133 mm wide, so we have 33mm left give or take....@Wahaha360 with the 2-rad configuration are you basically limited to the HJ slim rad?

well on the 3d the fasn on the psu is pointing to the opposite side. Maybe I´ve given a bit too much room to the GPU and my calculations are not very precise. we will see.Maybe single fan on one half of the radiator, and then rely on the PSU fan on the remaining side?
We are just speculating, and I don´t have a t1 to measure first hand how it would work.... but looking at your build is going to be tight, the side rad on this case. I like a lot the idea.The thickness you have to play with is largely driven by the thickness of your GPU block.
I managed a 15mm fan, 17mm radiator and a 5mm space with stand-off. I used a Blyski block, EK is even thinner. Some of the new 3000 series cards have thicker acrylic, so be careful.

Just finished building in my Titanium T1 and wanted some thoughts to try to improve CPU/chipset thermals.
ECO mode and undervolting aside. Would downgrading to a 120MM AIO + 2x NF-A12x25 be better in this setup due to the amount of heat generated from my 3090? In its current state it's dumping too much heat to the 240MM radiator. I know deshrouding the GPU + adding exhaust fans is another option. I'm not the only one with this setup that has noticed this as you can see HERE. Switching the slim Noctua fans to intake helped a lot but at the cost of higher GPU thermals. I know thermals wouldn't be great with this much power in such a compact system but I had the parts in hand so I had to see for myself.

It sounds like exhaust fans might be the simplest solution. I have heard noise levels go up/changes pitch when trying to pull air through the GPU heatsink.
120AIO should be enough for your 5950X. Doing so allows for *two 25mm thick fans, which is more important in your setup.
I suspect you have a health budget, so if you are really concerned about cooling capacity on 120AIO, then use Koolance 30FPI 120 copper radiator for a custom loop with Noctua or Arctic Fan. It will get you close to 240 AIO performance on 120mm radiator, and you get two 25mm thick fans with this setup.
For my builds, I saw about a 5-15c reduction in temps going from a 120 (Corsair H60) to a 240 (Corsair H100i Pro XT) depending on the application. 5c for lighter loads (like gaming) 15c for heavy and long rendersDeshrouding the TUF is an option I am considering but I'm leaning more towards the 120 AIO route since I'm still within the return period for the EK 240 AIO that is currently being used + I have spare A12x25 fans laying around from a previous NCase build.
How big of a difference would temps be between a custom loop 120 vs EK 120 AIO? Was also looking at a couple air coolers that work in 3 slot mode (Black Ridge + AXP-90)
Also how much of a thermal difference would I see you think moving to a 120 AIO? 5-10C?
