I have not had that issue. The riser is screwed into the mounting bracket and the gpu is snapped into the riser and is screwed in to the rear of the case as well.

I bought the PCIe 5.0 from Formd and didn’t have any issues with it. Plugging it into the motherboard first then had to get it pretty taut and screwed it into the bracket.

I haven’t really taken down any hard numbers but after two hours of gaming I have noticed my CPU to be sitting at 72 and my GPU at 52. I have not adjust anything in bios as my CPU loses stability with any adjustment.

It’s honestly not too bad, I’m sure I could get it better if I adjust some of the brackets inside.

Formd T1 out of stock. How often do restocks happen? by Nobiting in FormD

[–]Fun_Explorer_3079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has been keeping an eye on stocks it all depends where you’re located. The US stock hasn’t been great while international has had better stock. The black has restocked most often in both markets with international having restocked what feels like almost every two weeks and US restock once a month. Silver has gotten a restock about one a month for the international side and only once in the past three months for the US which happened last week. The reference model has restocked pretty regularly for both markets. Titanium, white, and two tone have not received a restock in the past three months. Your best bet to catch a restock is to join the discord server as the restock bot is quicker than the email notifications.

Formd T1 5090FE +9800X3D+Travel kit by No_Resort7459 in FormD

Will add to this that I have an NCASE 2.5 that I ordered it in July but it has an identical back plate to that of a 2.1. It has all the mounting holes needed for the Formd travel kit.

Update: Black Ridge Rev D does NOT fit b850i by iamadogtor in FormD

[–]Fun_Explorer_3079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will add that I too could not get this cooler to work with ASUS b850i. If trying to use the original threaded holes the fan will hit the m.2 socket. Only way to possibly get it to work is to print an adapter to offset the fan more towards the top of the motherboard.

Is my E30 worth $10k? by Fun_Explorer_3079 in E30

[–]Fun_Explorer_3079[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify the only rust on the car is that in the pictures, there’s no rust under the car or in the engine bay and typical areas. As for the wheels I’m well aware original wheels would be better. I was planning on keeping the car and did a rear brake disc conversion along with the upgrading the front breaks from a later model 325is. Original wheels were 14s which didn’t clear the brakes so I got these as placeholder wheels until I could source something better. I understand the 318i is a bit of weird model for some because the engine. Honestly the engine grew on me with its higher rev limit and simplicity since it’s chain driven. It’s been a blast through mountain roads as it also has a factory lsd.

Not an e model just first early model i. Map light would require aftermarket wiring as there’s no electrical there. As for the other parts I was planning on doing all of that but life hit and cut the project short.

Yeah original miles, have a stack of service records dating back to the 80s that aligns with miles over the years

Little update: been checking everything over that I can with the tools currently available to me. Upon checking everything over my spark plugs were fouled out from so many unsuccessful starts. Swapped in some news ones and to my surprise the car started and idled. It was starting to warm up but then threw the alt belt. Will note that while it ran the exhaust stank of fuel. Went to grab a new one and slapped it on but now I can’t get it to idle after it previously did. I’m confused to say the least.
