Air cooling my 7800X3D

Hello everyone,

I’m still struggling to get the perfect temperatures with my setup.

Specs
- ROG STRIX B850-I
- AMD 7800X3D
- MSI INSPIRE 3X 5070Ti
- AXP90-X47
- Corsair 850W

In idle I reach temps of 55C and while playing around 75C - 80C. all temps are from HWinfo ( Tdie)

What I already did is:

- Undervolting all cores by -25
- PBO set to PPT 70W, TDC 70A and EDC 100A
- EXPO 1
- temp limit set to 80C
- SoC voltage set to 1.2V

Is there anything wrong what I did or is there still room to im prove it.

Finally got around to building in the T1!

This case was sitting around for over 2 years while I very patiently waited for a new and affordable GPU 😒

Man did this build take me on a journey lol

I have a ton of scratches from changing things up and rebuilding again and again(and being careless 😩)

Anyone have any tips or ideas on the best way to hide that up? Know a good marker or paint that matches the color for some touch ups?

I got lucky that everything worked right out the box since most of this was sitting around way past it's warranty.

I had a small scare last week with the SN85OX that I bought for $160 in Feb. 2024 and saw that if I were to buy a new one it would've been around $400 🥴

So glad I didn't need to do that.

FormD v2.1 E-white Bottom Tgrill flip Travel kit

Just wanted to share my build. I searched everywhere for somebody using the T grill as a bottom panel. I do remember Chris Russell showing it. however, there was not an official fix for the bottom feet to fit at that time.
I bought my T grill pretty recently and it has dedicated screw locations for the case feet to be fastened now. Thermals are really good with this 9950x3d and the Atmos stealth. I was honestly worried that that CPU was going to overwhelm this AIO in such a tight space, but it is doing just fine.
GPU temps with the under volt are absolutely fine usually about 70°.

First AIR build t1

Sorry for the newb question...but I was wondering with folks that do all air build in a t1....why is it that people run the psu facing down vs up to exhaust the psu up and out through the top vs facing downwards? Thanks for any input!

scalpers… but i needed them to complete my build.

each vented glass panels costs more than a T1 on the scalper market 😭 ashamed but just happy i got my build looking how i wanted it to. the GPU thermals did improve by 2C (74 max to 72 max in 5K gaming)

Specs:

9950X3D (-30 PBO)
Gskill Flare X5 64Gb 6000mhz CL30

SF1000 3.1 ATX

Monitor are the new Tandem OLED 5K2K 39GX950B-B and Corsair Xeneon Edge
Keyboard is Whooting 80HE
Mouse is Swiftpoint Z2

previously i was running two LG 32in 4K dual mode but once i saw this bad boy i knew i had to have it. sold them both for 500 with one only having 167 hours.

just waiting for Noctua Chromax G2s in 120mm and the Swiftpoint Z3 to release so i can stop burning money on my set up.

Noise: Silent under minor load, and while gaming its a little louder but with headphone on theres no sound, even under 100 load with not bad either bearable

Had fascination with t1 for a long time but couldn’t justify spending on a new pc when my old setup was working perfectly until my motherboard died outta nowhere and at the same time formd restocked. Wanted to do a 5080fe build but its out of stock since Jan and eBay, fb marketplace prices are insane in Canada, so the next best looking setup in my eyes was the proart plus travel kit. Initially was going for a 4070 ti with travel kit until i found a shop on etsy named TravelKitStore selling cnc 5070ti/5080 Proart travel kit, took a chance and i was absolutely stoked with the quality of the travel kit , would highly recommend if formd is out of stock or they dont sell the specific one yet. Cables are from DreambigbyRayMod ,unsleeved, preset length and fits perfect. Other than these its pretty typical 9800x3d with axp90x53 with noctua fan.

Finally got my build together after watching too many videos between air cooled and aio and wanting standoff gap mod. This small unit is so satisfying and premium feeling when complete, just waiting for aio cover.

SFF 4 life from now on

Not looking forward to tearing down and trying to use formd travel kit but it’s already on the way and I want to close the side gap if possible.

Fitting Nvidia RTX 4080 FE After Built Was Complete

I originally built my Formd T1 without a graphics card to use as a daily driver for work, not for gaming. Recently I came across an RTX 4080 deal I couldn't refuse. I tried installing but it wouldn't fit as it's a 3 slot card. Any suggestion on how I can reposition my setup to make everything fit?

I know it's not the prettiest/cleanest setup, but this will give me a chance to clean everything up.

Parts list:

Formd T1 v2.0
Asus ROG STRIX Z690I
Corsair 32GB 2X16
Intel i9-13900K
EK-Quantum Velocity2 CPU Block/Pump/Reservoir Combo
Noctua NF-A12x15 Fans
XSPC TX240 Radiator
EVGA 850 Power Supply

I already have 2.5 and pc built in it. I see now 2.1 is available to purchase. Is it really worth to buy same case again? I read every changes between 2.1 and 2.5 before writing this. Sorry if this is stupid question or asked several times

I wanted to use the T1, but my current graphics card is too big and long for the case 😂
So I modded the front panel to accommodate cards up to 335mm long.
But the card was thick, so I made a few adjustments until it fit.

Hey everyone, I’m looking into getting a FormD T1 case, but I’ve come across both the v2.1 and v2.5 versions and I’m a bit confused about the differences.
From what I understand, there have been some revisions, but I’m not sure how significant they are in terms of: compatibility (GPUs, cooling, etc.) build quality / design changes thermals and airflow. Overall ease of building. Is v2.5 just a minor refresh, or is it actually worth choosing over v2.1?
Would really appreciate input from anyone who has used either (or both).
Thanks!

Hello everyone. During cpu stress test in t1 (10 minutes, 100% load) the temperature on it is hitting 89 degrees.

I'm using thermalright axp 90x47 (2200rpm), 2 arctic p12 pwms on top as exhaust (1200 rpm), with arctic mx-4.

The cpu in question is Ryzen 5 3600 (power consumption during stress test 90w)

Is this temperature normal for this case? On idle cpu is holding 55 degrees.

Hello! I've seen a couple people suggest the Asus Proart 5080 as a GPU to use in the FormD T1, if you aren't able to get the founders edition. And as I was looking, I saw the Asus Prime card, and they look identical. I'm looking at the differences between the cards, and all I see are visual differences. As far as I can tell, the proart is simply just more expensive. Since I'm not looking for a visually appealing GPU, am I fine getting the Prime? Or is there some other reason I should get the Proart? Thank you

Tough choice

I'm looking to buy a T1 for sure but I am torn between the gunmetal and midnight colors. I have a chance to buy the midnight second hand but for 1.5x the price because of tariffs and such.

Those who have the gunmetal, does it really have a blue ish color or is it just grey? I've seen people say both.
Also is there such a big difference between the two to justify paying more for it?

Hello! I have 2 very simple questions regarding a future build of mine, in FormD T1.
I'll be using a 9800x3d CPU paired with an RTX 5080. First question is, which 5080 do you guys recommend me to use? I've been looking at the MSI Ventus 3x for now, and it seems like a good fit, though I can't figure out if it's a 2.5 slot or a 2.75 slot. Second question is, is a cooler like the Noctua L12 Ghost or APX90 really enough to cool a 9800x3d from the factory? Or do I need to do some undervolting, etc.?
Thanks in advance!

I have a 7800x3d and 2 slot gpu.

Majority of recommendations are for air so this is what I’m planning:

- X47 full copper
- DingKey cooler offset and mounting backplate
- Phanteks T30s

What do I replace the cpu cooler fan with? I’ve seen the mod that allows for a 120mm fan but read mixed reviews.

Older build videos used the Noctua fan duct kit but I’m not sure if EIGA used it in his latest vid. Maybe because he did the 120mm fan mod.

Should I go with the duct kit and a 90mm fan?

Thanks

Has anybody encountered issues with the rear auxiliary on this mobo specifically? I built a new system with a 9800x3D last night and everything works flawlessly except for the rear aux. I get no sound at all.

I reinstalled new and older realtek drivers with no luck. The realtek console app was not working, I would get "can't connect" messages. After some troubleshooting, I managed to get it to open, just to get that the app wasn't compatible with my system lol. (Windows 11)

The only way to get sound is through my monitor's auxiliary. I haven't tried USB audio, but I mostly use wired IEMs, so it's a bit of an issue.

I'd appreciate any input. About to return the mobo and buy something else .
