My T1 Build

Great case, so happy with the result!

NCase T1 v2.5 + Top Grill from FormD.

I’ll probably get me some T30s or G2 to improve the accoustics, bit so far everything went well, and the temps are good.

Little Update on my M2 Build

I got a great deal on a EK FLT80 and swapped out my old AQ Aqualis Eco 100ml reservoir. I then took out my my Modultra Lobo and put in a new AQ Cuplex Kyros Waterblock, and swapped out the High Flow 2 for the Next Version. I also swapped out some fittings and changed the loop order to have proper in/out on the GPU and made a custom Info Panel layout for the Lian Li screen.

T1 Midnight release

I was just about to buy the T1 in the midnight color but when I got to the website it’s sold out. I knew it was only a limited run but are there any plans of production for 2026? I love the color and imo better than just a basic black or gray.

5mm CPU cooler gap vs. GPU gap in T1 V2.5 (5080 FE + top-down)

Hey, quick question about my T1 V2.5 build. I’m torn between two configs and want to know which is worth it:

Option A (current):

• 1.5-slot GPU gap (30mm offset)

• Cooler flush against side panel (0mm gap)

Option B (thinking of switching to):

• 1-slot GPU gap (20mm offset)

• 5mm gap between cooler exhaust and side panel

• Riser cable would be less stressed (shorter path)

Since the 5080 FE intakes fresh air from the side panel first anyway, is it better to keep the wider GPU gap or prioritize the 5mm CPU cooler gap?

My Specs:

•Case: FormD T1 V2.5 (NCASE)

•CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D

•CPU Cooler: Thermalright AXP90-X47 Full Copper (top-down, Noctua NF-A9X14-HS fan)

•GPU: RTX 5080 Founders Edition (blower/reverse flow – intakes from side panel, blows toward mobo)

•Mobo: ASUS ROG Strix B850-I Gaming WiFi (AM5 ITX)
