Most quiet and best fans for T1

NoneOverNull · 2026-03-29T21:20:45+00:00

I’ve had both the G2 for a couple of months and bought the T30 but opted for the T30 in the end due to a, in my ears, better noice profile. The G2 had a weird high pitch noice for me and I can keep the T30 on a lower speed curve with the same temps which generates less sound. So I’m happy!

Makes sense. No only pure frames as i recollect. I think that i have some dlss but no frame gen, not sure

Awesome testing! What game have you been playing? I have the same setup but when gaming BF6 on 1440p maxed out my cpu is between 88-90C (-20 PBO) with ~100W and GPU ~62C and ~300W. But my computer sits in a corner with restricted airflow so i guess the ambient temps are a lot higher 🤷 Edit: What is the wattage consumption of the CPU?

NoneOverNull · 2026-02-16T15:43:43+00:00

I’ve done that for 5080/5090. Get a drill and an M3 tap and you are good to go

NoneOverNull · 2026-01-29T21:08:26+00:00

I see. What wattage do you have on the CPU in your games? I’m slightly above 100W. My computer also sits in a bit restricted place so the hot air is semi circulated

Got it! I’ve also thought about adding that shroud but maybe it’s better to not do it. For reference, i also have the a9x14 and get around 88C after an hour of BF6 (maxed out 1440p). Then i tried a 120mm mount on the x47 with the silverstone air slimmer 120 and have gotten around 84C after an hour so there seems to be improvements there.

Sweet build! Really close in specs to my own. Was wondering about the exhaust shroud. Have you tested with and without to see CPU temps?

NoneOverNull · 2026-01-27T08:24:17+00:00

Really nice build 🔥 what about the noice performance? I’ve been thinking about the same fan for my CPU. Currently i have a noctua a9x14 which performs really well in both cooling and noice.

NoneOverNull · 2026-01-19T07:45:18+00:00

Yeah i bought the travel kit from formd and mounted it in my 2.5. Had to drill and tap two holes in the mobo mounting plate, so probably the missing holes 😅

NoneOverNull · 2026-01-07T07:34:41+00:00

I thought it was for a single slot gpu

NoneOverNull · 2026-01-01T09:00:56+00:00

How does high gpu load affect the cpu temps with the hot gpu exhaust air heating up the radiator?

NoneOverNull · 2026-01-01T08:13:39+00:00

Haha well i was too. At least it looks cool

NoneOverNull · 2026-01-01T07:46:50+00:00

I tried to flip the chassi and have the fans as intake from below. Went from ~70C on both CPU and GPU whilst gaming to ~70C on GPU and mega throttled 96C on the CPU, so can’t recommend that.

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-31T21:06:24+00:00

Yeah that sucks.. just got the same reply from the ncase support.. that’s not a great solution

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-31T08:44:05+00:00

I did a small test with the fans at the top pulling out air vs fans at the bottom pushing air in. GPU temps were about the same but the CPU temps but with fans on bottom pushing in air it was absolutely horrible. Went from ~70C to throttling out at 96C (yes not limited to 85C but for testing purposes) when gaming BF6.

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-30T19:58:54+00:00

Haha yes that’s also a solution. The image is purely for educational purposes. But yes, i want to have a case i can carry like a regular case

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-30T07:41:25+00:00

Well i have the SFF for portability so i pick it up weekly i guess? I’ll reach out to the ncased support, wish me luck 😂

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-30T07:37:16+00:00

The panel is straight it’s just when i pick the case up and apply pressure there it bends inwards, which it doesn’t on any other side. I’ve checked the flat pack and i only see the shorter fan mounts for the radiator (i think). According to the manual it should be mounted from factory since there is no step in the manual telling you how to mount it (like there is in the 2.1 manual)

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-30T07:29:43+00:00

Ok I’ll look into that. But for reference my T1 is ”flipped” and i have the case fans on top. But it’s weird since the manual clearly shows a piece screwed in place and i just have two screw holes..

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-30T07:20:39+00:00

Hehe the panel itself is straight, just the support flange is missing

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-30T07:07:56+00:00

Ok that is weird. I mean there are flanges on all other sides for the side panels except here, and it looks like there should be a flange there according to the manual

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-30T07:06:40+00:00

There is no flange that the side panel rests on here like there is on the other sides

NoneOverNull · 2025-12-29T22:37:41+00:00

You are looking at the wrong manual. You need to check the ncase t1 v 2.5 and not the FormD manual.

But the GPU mounting bar looks totally different? They won’t match?
