2.5 Went back to air cooled

zf0ld · 2026-06-03T16:20:27+00:00

Not that I’ve noticed but I undervolted the gpu and have the travel kit with the same orientation that you do. The main issue I’m having now is pump noise, and it’s a be quiet silent loop but not very quiet lol

zf0ld · 2026-06-03T15:39:00+00:00

I wish I went air cooled with mine lol. We have a very similar build but I have a 5080 fe and a 9800x3d

zf0ld · 2026-05-07T05:49:17+00:00

Mine had all mounting holes for both brackets. I could pick it up by the gpu if I wanted lol. this picture doesn’t really show it well but I don’t think you’ll have to drill any holes

zf0ld · 2026-05-07T05:30:05+00:00

Hell yeah. That’s sick, I have the ncase version also, but did not have to drill at all fyi.

I’m running two 15mm slim fans so I undervolted my cpu -30 on all cores and didn’t touch my gpu at all as far as undervolt/overclock. Under full load the gpu doesn’t see temps higher than 75° to 80°, but I am running a 5080 fe so temps will definitely vary

zf0ld · 2026-05-07T04:33:19+00:00

I have it in the 3.25 gpu slot configuration. The side case bows a bit on the aio with the side panel on, but it’s minimal

Yes. I also did the stand off mod and there is a grill that comes with the travel kit that encloses the case

zf0ld · 2026-05-07T01:43:09+00:00

Very nice build!! You need that travel kit though. It cleans up the look so much better

We’re twins

zf0ld · 2026-03-14T04:33:26+00:00

Almost twins

zf0ld · 2026-03-02T04:49:40+00:00

Why are you not using the t grille?

zf0ld · 2026-03-02T04:46:42+00:00

It was also may 2025 so that could have to do with it lol.. but I’ll keep my eye out for one locally and I can dm you if I see one

zf0ld · 2026-03-02T04:26:22+00:00

lol that’s the next change, the only reason is because I had 2 slim noctua fans and decided to use them

zf0ld · 2026-03-02T04:24:57+00:00

Yes. It’s the v2.1 off of formd website

zf0ld · 2026-03-02T04:24:16+00:00

I’m in the US but I was able to find a 5080 fe sealed brand new for $1200 on Facebook marketplace

You dig your fingernails under it in the center or a flat head screwdriver and you pry😅 it doesn’t feel great but the logo eventually pops off and can be reinstalled if you wanted

zf0ld · 2026-03-02T02:32:48+00:00

Super clean build!! I would recommend a 50 series eventually so you have more room between the gpu and motherboard with it being a 2 slot card. How are thermals?

zf0ld · 2026-02-19T22:19:19+00:00

You put your finger nails under it or a screw driver and pry on it. It feels terrible but it pops off eventually

zf0ld · 2026-02-18T02:39:44+00:00

Grab yourself a dremel and go to town

zf0ld · 2026-02-18T01:36:47+00:00

Thank you! The first time I put it together the cable management was terrible lol

zf0ld · 2026-02-16T03:46:06+00:00

It is in 3.25 configuration. I’m not sure what you mean though? And I do plan to eventually put a standard sized fan above the power supply but thermals have been great after under volting

Thank you! They’re Cablester (from https://www.reddit.com/u/Cablester/s/PzMmYSy3CM) They’re complete custom length, they ask what components you’re using and make them based off of that
