c l e a n . custom exhaust shroud and panels were dope.

[@EIGAtech]

Thanks! You got me hooked on insane SFF builds (and KZbin) so you're partly responsible for all this. The cubic infill side panels could work really well on a dual radiator custom loop build, no turbulence to worry about 👀.

[@tpfeiffer1986]

Same here. Saw one single optimum video, watched all the others, ordered a titanium t1 and build a beast. Praise the inspirational master of sff👌👍

[@diegocervantes4977]

Isn’t it better to have the 2 phanteks as intake blowing air from the bottom to the top?

[@EIGAtech]

@@diegocervantes4977 I haven't personally tested it, but the consensus has always been that top exhaust is the better configuration in the T1, no matter if air cooling or liquid cooling.

[@maximus3294]

@@diegocervantes4977 there should always be a balance of intake and exhaust. the GPU cooler and CPU cooler both act as intake because of how they're oriented, so the few case fans you can fit in there should be oriented to exhaust. air can find its way into a compact system but it's kinda hard to get it out without some encouragement

[@beyornd1]

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Sitting on a 7800X3D and a 3080 TUF on the ASUS B650I and was just waiting for the right sign to start my T1 build. Just ordered the case and 3d prints, thank you so much for your hard work.

This is the best Formd T1 build i have seen till now. You should do a build guide video !!!!

[@bosco9028]

I really hope he does a detailed build guide video on this. So many people would love to build an air cooled T1 exactly like this to avoid the complexities and maintenance problems of going with a custom loop.

This is awesome. I have a 5900X and 7900xt in my T1 v2.5, with basic AIO, and everything works well and is dead quiet (to my old ears anyway). I have these components, because they were just what was in my old ITX build, but it's nice to know if I upgrade in the future, and want to go air cooled, that someone has put in the hard work to prove what is possible. Thanks so much!

[@kal8377]

Excellent build and video! Got me excited to build my own version of this build!

[@EIGAtech]

Thank you!

[@stepahinigor]

Wow this is really unexpected plot twist haha. A year ago I have the same specs as you but only 7900X (bought it a couple months before the 7800X3D came out) and I dreamed of making the same custom loops as you, but it required a lot more time money and effort, so I built air cooling version exactly the same as you in this video except for the custom stuff and I'm happy. But still there are two important changes. 1. I installed a 120mm Noctua on the CPU through the adapter, it's a little quieter and gives a little better temperature, including cooling the RAM as well. 2. At first I had a regular APX90-X47 Full Copper like yours, but it annoyed me with its color and I found a rare Full Copper Graphene Coated version on T-Mall, it's gray, thank god now I can sleep well. Thanks for the video! Now I won't have to worry and dream about a custom loop like yours. And thanks for the 3d exhaust, that's an interesting idea. I also didn't know about the travel kit and it annoyed me that the 4090 tilts a bit.

your videos are so good to binge on lol

[@Rubble_ZA]

Awesome video - the turbulence noise for the cuboid is mainly from the shape I've found, smaller holes and round holes specifically seem to help a lot more. A good example is the Fractal Terra which has horrid turbulence noise compared to the T1 if you stick either side panel directly on top of a fan

[@EIGAtech]

Thanks! Interesting, it's funny because initially I wanted to do slotted panels like on the Terra, but yeah...

The freaking pcie extension is so delicate, I had problems for a week trying to turn on the pc, thought it was the ram, than the motherboard, than the power supply and at last it was the pcie extension. I reassemble everything back together and try and put the pcie extension as best and delicate as I could and it finally turned on. Happy with my build, im rocking the 13600kf, 32 gbs 7200mhz ram, rtx 4070ti super, and cooler master 850w sfx power supply, with the same cpu cooler you are using. Also the phanteks at the top. But i needed to undervolt a lot on the cpu because it gets vey hot and I like to keep it lower than 70. My gpu is always at less than 55. I use it on my room as a gaming console on my tv.

[@EIGAtech]

I get the anxiety of high CPU temps, but the reality is that the design philosophy as of late is to let them run hot, and a target of 70C may be too unrealistic depending on load scenario.

[@diegocervantes4977]

@@EIGAtechdid you undervolt the cpu on this test?

[@karidus6024]

Fortune is smiling on me as I have started to finally build my first PC. I have already bought the T1 Titanium and might arrive by the end of the week. Been looking at multiple sites of what the best cooling could be for the case and trying to maximize upgradability for the future. This cleared my doubts of what small coolers are capable of as I have been trying to decide wheather to use a Noctua L9 vs L9i. Seems to me the L9 would cool a i9 well and will have room for a bigger GPU later on.

[@EIGAtech]

Keep in mind the AXP90-x47 is quite a bit better than the Noctua L9.

[@Invictus_Mithra]

I'm surprised that the air cooling configuration works so well

[@vedomedo]

The T30's doing gods work.

[@AverageAspie]

Thanks to your vid, I think I'm comfortable going this route for my move from full tower to a FormD T1 case. I wanted to use the phanteks evolv shift xt initially, but this would be slimmer and more modular. Spending on a 240mm AIO, and routing tubes, seems too compromising and expensive. The only difference is that I have a 3090 FE, which has me unsure(wishing) the travel kit would work, along with the phantesk 850sfx. I'll be looking into getting a 14600k(getting different ram of course) and learning to undervolt both.

[@rumgud]

[@des22059]

Hey! What about making circular parts of sidepanels with different holes pattern aligned to corresponding cpu, psu and gpu fans? Would look neat in my opinion and also will promote air to go more through particular intakes

[@Mrsupermuuh]

[@cognacbrown]

I did the same build but with an AIO. The CPU temp was fine but the 4090 FE temp crossed 85C. I gave up and moved to a larger case AP201. GPU temp dropped to 60C on 100% load. I loved the T1 but best with 4080 and below GPUs

[@twonibbleonebyte]

[@typewitcher]

hello)) noctua l9a is much worse? (I saw the tests, the temperature difference between Thermalright and Noctua is not very big).

[@GoldFus1on]

Does the noctua mod make a substantial difference or can I just use the stock fan?

[@josephmiano2006]

Maybe a basic question but how do you clip the noctua fan to the thermalright CPU? The clips that come with the CPU are too short for the longer fan. What kinds of clips/connection can be used instead?

I am hoping to print this myself using a local 3d printing service but I am not very technical. When you say I need 1x M3x5x4 threaded brass insert from the aliexpress link, can you please let me know what x5x4 mean? Does it mean OD 5MM size and 4MM length?

[@o0u0o3]

Hey amazing video, I have a E-White T1 and 4080 Super FE waiting to be built and the travel kit will be the perfect addition. I love the hex screws that you have replaced the originals with, so much more durable than philips heads do you know where you can get some? They look like good quality stainless steel ones.

[@EIGAtech]

Thanks! I bought them a long time ago from Aliexpress for my T1 v1.1, nothing fancy but they have served me well and I reused them a bunch of times, the philips head ones that came with the case are already pretty gnarly.

[@slowp-ke]

@EIGA, When you say CO tuned for your 7950X3D, do you mean that you only put a negative offset on your curve, or did you also mean that you modified PPT/ EDC / TDC limits as well? Thanks!!

[@EIGAtech]

Just per core negative curve optimizer. I don't touch limits.

[@itzShootingStar]

Very cool build. What custom cables length do you recommend for the t1 ?

[@EIGAtech]

My cable lengths are a bit all over the place because I've used them in other builds as well.

Directly taken from there: 24 pin - 140-160mm EPS - 250-260mm (in front of the mobo) EPS - 300mm (routed behind mobo) 12vhpwr - 325-350mm PCIe 8 pin - 200-220mm

[@tinglei1754]

I basically copied the entire setup so thank you EIGA! It was both painful and fun to build for sure. I’m curious whether adding foam spacer between the t30s and upper panel will lower the temps even further (like a 12cm version NA-FD1).

[@EIGAtech]

I don’t think that would be necessary, with the shroud the exhaust part is pretty well isolated from the rest of the build, I doubt there’s any hot air being recirculated.

​@@EIGAtech ASRock B650i Lightning is pretty good for its price with CPUs up to like 7800x3D, the only issue is not very powerful VRM, so it can boggle down CPUs like 7950X/3D. Also, some people complain about MTK Wifi chip, but I didn't encounter any issue so far. At the start of AM5 gen I bought 3 B650I Aorus because of 3x m.2 slots, two of my builds doesn't require a riser so I didn't notice any issue, but then on my main rig I was ripping hair out my head trying to figure out what is wrong, lol. Also this issue relevant for Jginyue B650I Night Devil, niche Chinese board.

The trick is to find fan RPM ranges that offer a good balance between noise and thermals, and then make Graph curves that set the fan speeds based on that.

The SF750 is a legendary PSU that can handle a 4090FE with no issues. Corsair has released its new SFX lineup this month, and I would still recommend either the SF750 (2024) or the SF1000 if price is no concern. The SF850 is also an option but it's weirdly priced IMO. All of these PSUs can handle a 4090.

[@dan8t669]

Good idea with the top shroud! Why the need for a 1000W PSU? Imagine having to cool above 750W in this small case.

[@EIGAtech]

Thanks! No need really, but the price difference between the newly launched 750 and 1000 SFX power supplies from Corsair is small enough that just getting the higher rating seems worth it, you get slightly beefed up internals and a higher threshold for passive operation. Efficiency at very low loads could be a factor, but from the testing I’ve seen they are practically identical.

[@bionis4980]

Hey, awesome build video really helped me out. The stock riser apparently often has quality problems, its length is 18.5cm your linked cable is 23cm is there no problem with fitting the extra cm. And is the anti sack bracket for the 4090 recommended or am I fine without it ?

[@EIGAtech]

I haven't used my stock riser at all so far, not because I don't think it's good, just that for the builds I wanted to do the Linkup was better. The extra length is not an issue, but thickness is a bit of a downside (stock one is thinner). Anti-sag bracket or travel kit is definitely optional, but I recommend it for OCD 👀.

One thing that comes to mind is that you may have not tightened down the x47 fully. I use the short thumb screws together with the stock AM5 backplate and tighten the nuts (with the included thumb driver) until the tip of the screw is nearly flush with the surface of the nut.

If you want to avoid deformation then PETG or ABS/ASA but given their small size and the fact that the duct will be held in place by the panel once mounted, I'm sure PLA can work as well, even if it deforms slightly.

Would I get better temps with the axp90-x53 full copper instead of the x47? My gpu is 2 slot, so I thought why not get a thicker cpu cooler.

[@EIGAtech]

Definitely the better choice since you've got room for it. I'd only get the x47 if you plan on upgrading to a 3 slot card later down the road.

[@timo5229]

If you have a 2 slot you can fit an l12s which is better than both

[@gallahant]

@@timo5229 I bought an L12S ghost edition but have not yet tried to fit it. I believe the vrm heatsink will make contact with the heat pipes.

Hi beautiful build, I am in the process of coming up with a similar build on my own but probably running an i5-13600k. I have a question about the cooler shouldn't a Thermalright AXP-120-X67 Full copper fit as well and wouldn't it provide better thermal ?

[@EIGAtech]

The Thermalright AXP-120-X67 will not fit with the case in 3 slot mode. If you use a smaller GPU that can work in the 2 slot or 2.25 slot modes of the case then yes, you can start using taller coolers, including the X67, no reason to stick with the X47.

[@vinhddoan5241]

@@EIGAtech my bad i mix up and was meaning the axp-97-x53 i believe they have a full copper version and its a bit taller but should fit in 2.75 mode or the improvement in thermal are negligible over the x47 version?

[@EIGAtech]

@@vinhddoan5241 The x53 is better as far as I know, so yes, if you have the room go for it.

How does this cpu cooler compare to the black ridge cooler?

[@EIGAtech]

I recommend watching this video from L91: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpq8oIyXbMiSq7csi=ZdXkAzljG1sJX7j6 The tl;dr is that the AXP90-x47 is superior. The Black Ridge has some advantages, with the underside fan mounting style you could have the case in 3.25 slots and not worry about fan turbulence. But from my understanding the Black Ridge also has fitment issues with certain motherboards, including the ASUS B650E-I shown in the video.

I think you made a mistake. The noctua fan, the link is the incorrect one.

Hmm, it's linking to the correct product for me. Edit: I fixed it now, sorry for the confusion, didn't realize it was the wrong one 🤦.

[@atom631]

how is the sound levels compared to an AiO. Im using an Atmos now and my T1 is on my desk. If the performance is better with air and sound levels are similar, then Im going to switch and not worry about leaking.

[@EIGAtech]

My old CPU only custom loop with pneumatic tubing is very close to an AiO in terms of performance and noise levels, so you can use that as a comparison point. That said, I would not worry about leaking with an AiO.

[@atom631]

@@EIGAtech you think its worth it to swap out from the atmos to air cooling?

[@EIGAtech]

Hi! There is no reason to remove the PSU fan grill, it's something I did for a previous build. As for T30s alternatives, the Noctua NF-A12x25 is the way to go.

I'd first check if the stock riser is fine, if not, then the 23cm Linkup is the way to go or the Loque Cobalt Gen4+ riser which is outstanding: louqe.com/products/cobalt-rc260-twinax-gen4-pci-e-4-0-riser-cable

[@danodee77]

I just received the AXP90-X47 Full Copper cooler for my T1. However, on the box, it states "AMD: AM4" support. Does this imply compatibility with AM5 as well? I've noticed different SKUs of this cooler on Amazon with varying information regarding AM5 support. Does anyone have clarification on this?

[@EIGAtech]

The mounting is the only downside of the cooler , but the short version is this: 1. Keep the stock AM5 backplate 2. Use the AM4 brackets and the shorter thumbscrews 3. Push the thumbscrews through the AM5 threaded holes (the threads don't match, but there should be just enough clearance for them to go through). 4. Use the included nuts to secure the thumbscrews on the backside of the motherboard. I torqued them down so that the tips of the screws are nearly flush with the surface of the nuts) There's a number of good videos out there showing how to install the cooler on AM5 boards.

They are a significant improvement, but I don't have any numbers on hand. Considering the total cost of the build it is a no brainer getting them or a similar 3D printed duct like this one: www.printables.com/model/742782-axp90-x47-cooler-duct-for-formd-t1-3-slot-mode-noc
