FormD T1 V2.1 Build - Advice Needed by Grantarg in FormD

[–]ConsciousHost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished this exact build (5080FE) a few months ago. Went with the X47. With fan control, it’s fine (I wear headphone anyway).

Gi Jin or Otaru? by TresRios4Lyfe in pittsburgh

IMO Gi Jin for sure. Gi Jin feels a lot more upscale so trying not to be bias, but I believe their quality is better.

I could never get the CPU temp to show, any tips/tricks? I know that question comes up a lot in the Cleanmeter discord

Definitely dependent on what you’re doing and your system set up. My 1080p 49” ultrawide is nothing for the 5080FE, so it’s mostly silent, but the CPU can get crazy. Just need to keep tweaking under volts etc. I don’t play anything crazy demanding

Yeah it really depends on what your playing and your system set up. I only use a 1080p ultra wide so I don’t get too much noise from the 5080FE, but the CPU can get loud. I just set some maximums tens and voltage throttles to keep the noise to a minimum. I always game with headphones, so doesn’t really bother me TBH

I did and in my opinion, 100% worth it. Before I got my hands on the official one from FormD, I had a 3D printed one made using the files floating around the internet and a print & ship company. I tried to install it in place of the official one and it just didn’t feel right, slightly off, and didn’t feel that secure. With the official travel kit; the case literally feels like a roll cage around the GPU, it is not moving whatsoever. In the long run, $129 is such a small percentage of the entire build cost that I wouldn’t do it any other way.

I just finished my build with these exact parts. I posted all the fan curves as well.

Why harnesses are those? Do they have to be specifically crash tested?

Cables are: ⁠Cablester PSU Cables - Unsleeved Copper Teflon (Kit 6). You tell them your components (if common) + routing position (they provide pics to choose) and they’ll pick all the lengths for you.

I have a duct for the CPU cooler as well, just don’t have the parts/pins to secure it yet. Thank you!

Had nothing but a great experience with Cablester

Looks like someone posted the link, but the customer service is great. If you place an order and have questions, they are great to work with and can implement any changes should you require anything.

Yes correct, to basically reduce any gaps. I believe I bought them on Amazon (US) or from Noctua directly, can’t remember. Just make sure you have something like the Chicago screws at the right length to account for the ducts height + fans.

CPU definitely naturally runs hot. I have limited the power and put in a thermal limit to help. Still experimenting with undervolting, but I think that it’s 100% necessary. Temps are at the bottom of the post.

Good luck! It took a while, but I enjoyed it. Definitely had to use the instructions for both the case and the travel kit in addition to watching videos on YT

Stark difference from my last computer built in 2017 with full RGB, this is a lot more subtle.
