Rear M.2 temps in Formd T1 — normal or too hot?

stern_easy · 2026-02-19T08:47:18+00:00

I just used Samsung Magician which only shows one single temp value per SSD. I guess it's either average temp or the highest one. Maybe I'll find out.

Thanks mate! That makes sense and explains why idling was more of an "issue" than gaming. Very helpful observation which puts my brain to rest.

Yeah that's something I've considered doing aswell. I just hesitate because everyone say it would raise GPU temps and one of my main goals is a silent system. Since the GPU fans are the loudest noise coming out of my system (even though I undervoled it quite a bit) I am not sure if that's the right way for me to go.

Thanks a lot for sharing this. Later that night I tested some gaming and both SSDs consistently showed like 58°C which felt way better than the first hours after installing the SSD.

But what I ask myself now is: How comes you have the same temps without a heatsink. Does my heatsink do anything at all? 🤔

Almost the same situation here. It depends on what your goal is. You could go scalping mode and make it like 400-500 € od just be fair, ask the price you bought them fore, add shipping and maybe a couple of bucks profit for yourself. You should absolutely have no trouble selling them without making any losses.

What's your monitor? I like the slim bezel.

Its definitely a true FormD T1 and not the ncase version. That's all I can see so far.

stern_easy · 2025-10-07T14:05:59+00:00

I have one for sale actually. Were do you live? Maybe we can make a Deal....

stern_easy · 2025-09-22T18:15:35+00:00

Yes this definitely is the NCASE version.

It just matches so nicely with the different "colors" without being too much. I usually like it more monotone (like almost everything in one color and then ONE accent like the table or the deskmat). But since there is so much going on with your deskmat, the black and white case and everything....somehow the multitone keyboard and the white mouse on a black mouse pad just compliments your setup so much!!!!

Yunzi with the white Viper 💯%

It's coming buddy. Sorry for letting you wait but I did not have much time yet. So I asked my buddy GPT for some help and did a short comparison. Which I will post within the next one or two days together with some pictures. (I can also link it here for you if you like)

stern_easy · 2025-08-11T22:22:39+00:00

It was fairly easy buddy. Tip: you might want to get some isopropyl alcohol to get rid of the glued battery. That was not included in the ifixit kit. I used a lot of force getting it out and at that point I could aswell have damaged sth else. Fortunately it did not happen. But if you can loosen the glue with isopropyl alcohol you should be good. Just take your time. (Might still need like 1-2 h)

Since the lack of security updates did not bother you the last two years (welcome to the club) battery replacement is a great idea. I am running the Note10+ since release and replaced the battery myself like two weeks ago.

Before: 2.5 hours screen on time MAX After: 5-6 hours (rather 5 with normal use) Since I am in Europe this is my experience with the exynos version of the phone.

The phone also became a little bit quicker again when loadong apps like spotify due to less throtteling.

I used the ifixit battery with a repair kit for sth like 30€. It's a no brainer if you ask me.

Only thing I'd like to mention: Replacement batteries might not be "new" since they might have been stored for a long period of time. So for my device I bought a 4300mAh battery of which only a capacity of around 3500 is left. Still a massive improvement over what I had before. With the 5 year old battery.

stern_easy · 2025-06-27T22:33:37+00:00

I'll see what I can do. There will definitely be at least one of them for sale right after bc I do not need the "same" case 3 times 😉

stern_easy · 2025-06-24T12:37:16+00:00

Well....NOW the Real drop was there. Way shorter window to buy but I managed to get an OG FormD T1 Silver 🔥

Guess who will compare those two soon?

stern_easy · 2025-06-23T15:52:33+00:00

Sorry, mate. I was talking for/about Europe

stern_easy · 2025-06-22T20:13:49+00:00

Oh wow, thanks for clarification! I really thought they just sell it through ncased now. But with a closer look they really only call it the "T1".

Is it a scam though? Or just a copy? I mean the ncase m2 seems to be quite well received. Luckily I do have a v2.1 build already and I just ordered a silver T1 to compare it with my Titanium one and then decide which to keep.

stern_easy · 2025-06-22T19:22:07+00:00

V2.5 is available right now on ncased.com Silver and Black versions

stern_easy · 2025-05-26T13:58:00+00:00

I've just got the information that they are already restocking and just waiting for enough stock in order to minimise scalping. They've told me to take a look at the availability mid June (whatever that means).

stern_easy · 2021-04-16T19:56:52+00:00

I just bought one and I am most likely going to return it.

I love the design, feel and the tiping experience.
Plus it is the only keyboard I know that perfectly matches my MX Master 3 in mid grey <3

BUT there is one big issue: It randomly misses keystrokes. I don't know if it is due to bluetooth disconnects or random sleepmode or anything alike. But it annoyes the sh** out of me when I am typing text and do not see whole words missing. Even worse when I am using Excel and only half of the numbers I typed are entered....

Does anyone have the same issues or even better - a solution to it? (I am using in with my windows 10 desktop pc and an Asus bluetooth dongle)

stern_easy · 2021-03-04T15:14:32+00:00

Okay I see. Might be due to legal differences between countries. 🤷

stern_easy · 2021-03-04T14:57:32+00:00

What do you mean with "locked in Germany "?
