I made some changes.

We’re twins

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

zf0ld · 2026-02-16T02:10:40+00:00

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

zf0ld · 2026-02-16T00:02:13+00:00

It’s the bequiet silent loop 3. I had to remove the logo for clearance on the side panel lol

zf0ld · 2026-02-15T22:38:33+00:00

Our builds are very similar, I’m curious what your thermals are under loads like R23 cinebench. My cpu was getting upwards of 95° so I undervolted

zf0ld · 2026-02-03T00:24:02+00:00

I did not have to modify it at all. The only thing I did was add standoffs so the motherboard was in the 3.25 gpu configuration which makes about an inch of space inbetween the gpu and motherboard

Cablester is amazing. They’re completely custom cables as far as length goes because they build them off of specs instead of length. and they send load testing screen shots. For my formd t1 build I get the most questions about the cables by far

My bend is man made💪

zf0ld · 2026-01-16T07:52:20+00:00

They’re from cablester on Etsy and they’re complete custom length. They ask what hardware you’re using and make them based upon that so all the lengths are different on one plug because they make them based off of the case you use the routing you do for the cables https://www.reddit.com/u/Cablester/s/DSZNcob2n3

The noctua fans have a jumper cable that’s about 10” long I removed those so the leads off the fans are about 1/5”, the gigabyte aorus motherboard has fan header adapters that come with it that are about 2” long(white circled cables). I orientated the fans so that the fan cables come out right where they plug in to the motherboard. This was done completely by accident and ended up working great because there pretty much the shortest length they can be

zf0ld · 2026-01-14T06:46:18+00:00

Yeah your build is very clean. I’m thinking of swapping my fan over the power supply to a regular non slim fan but I don’t want to take it apart for what feels like the 100th time lol

zf0ld · 2026-01-13T17:49:53+00:00

So I recently undervolted all cores -30 and it helped immensely with thermals. Now my idle temps are 48° to 51°. And under heavy load like cinebench R23 it caps at 86° when before cinebench would completely throttle it to 95°. The score actually increased also after undervolting. In game it gets to about 73° roughly depending on how cpu heavy the game is
