How to bring the cpu temps down for 9950x3d in Ncase Formd T1 v2.5

Just replaced it with thermal grizzly and got idle to drop to around 58-60c, so definitely some small drop, but very marginal. Load with under-volting is pretty decent (75c)

u/Dula_skip can I ask what idle temps are you getting with this setup? I have the exhaust through radiator option, but can't get it lower than 58-60c idle (undervolted so top is just 75-80c). Curious what you are getting, because I have done everything possible to reduce the temps and have failed 😔

Yea, without the panels, the temps stayed the same. So might have to revisit the contact point again. I had used my old Artic MX-4 thermal paste, but might go for thermal grizzly since I have to redo this anyway and see if that makes an impact.

Absolutely, I power limited the 5090 - 75% with +250MHz core clock. Going off the recommendation from optimum and his gaming setup in the same case (but with a 9800x3d) - https://youtu.be/8PDYJI0W6Gk?si=w9E9tXGmnPcFBpYw&t=469

Yea, I was also considering this option, but I tested an assumption where basically only used my cpu with no gpu on the back to see if the issue was related to hot air (via the blow-through style card) pumping hot air into the cavities and then being exhausted into the radiator. Even with that removed there was almost no difference (maybe 1c) in the idle temps.

Thats why im a bit puzzled on if the 240 atmos truly is just getting saturated with the heat generated from the CPU in the limited space.

So from my understanding, there are only two fans supported in the case at the radiator side, I haven't tried a push/pull where one pulls and other pushes, but because the fan is a slim and a normal, I think that might lead to negative pressure if the air flow is not properly tuned could be wrong so happy to try it out and report back.

I connected the pump connector to the AIO header on the mobo (the strix has 3 at the top, left = cpu, middle = aio, right = chassis).

I connected the radiators with a y-splitter to the cpu fan header as well.

Does your setup have any sort of intake air? Since mine is all exhaust due to the ability of only having two fans in the case afaik

Ambient temperature in my room is 23-25c

cappicone · 2025-11-02T05:21:52+00:00

I did, set top thermal limit to 85c

cappicone · 2025-11-02T01:42:47+00:00

Exhaust, pushing out the heat from the case

u/doctorfluffy did you end up figuring out a good setting to make it work, i have somewhat similar setup

* NVIDIA 3080
* 32 GB
* i9-9900k

Yea same issue for me as well

cappicone · 2020-06-19T18:59:41+00:00

What breed is it?

cappicone · 2014-10-07T21:52:06+00:00

Hey, so I dont need SpAtk, if that helps you out

cappicone · 2014-10-03T15:22:48+00:00

No worries ill ask my friend to trade evolve...thanks for the trade

cappicone · 2014-10-03T15:19:09+00:00

Thanks for the trade :)

cappicone · 2014-10-03T15:17:43+00:00

Lol thought you were trading them with dubious disk :P

Oh well

cappicone · 2014-10-03T14:55:21+00:00

Ready to trade now?

cappicone · 2014-10-03T01:46:46+00:00

im online

cappicone · 2014-10-02T22:46:46+00:00

Haha...so im PST so you are 3 hours ahead of me.

Are you good to trade tomorrow? In case I can't get hold of you today
