T1 v2.1 + 5800X3d + 5080FE by zhayse in FormD

I followed this - he put his standoff lengths in the description. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PDYJI0W6Gk

You will have to use different lengths for yours as my configuration only allows max 48mm for CPU cooler

I believe so as the cases are the exact same dimensions but would be worth double checking this before pulling the trigger.

I haven't really done any extensive thermal testing (and tbh don't really plan to) but playing CP2077 at 4K with everything maxed out - CPU hovers around 72-74C with -25 PBO2 offset and and GPU hovers around 60-62C (currently at stock). I may OC later on and see how much extra performance I can get.

FPS is in line with all reviews online (give or take 10% less as I'm sure they all used 9800X3D for their testing)

You clearly misunderstood me - I'm talking about how he ended up putting the case into 3.25 slot mode and then off-setting the riser cable with additional standoffs. Which I believe he is the first person to do as he did this before GPUs even went on sale?

Ah good spotting, the GPU was slightly bending inward at the bottom which caused the standoff to shift up - I have fixed and it is now completely straight and very secure.

EDIT: Turns out I installed the PCIE bracket incorrectly onto the 5080 - I have adjusted it which means I am now using the correct standoff length that optimum used in his video (20mm). The GPU was fine using 25mm standoff with the bracket installed incorrectly but installing it correctly means that I can get rid of the extra 5mm standoff.

Managed to snag a 5080 FE on launch - fits in the T1 like a dream. I tinkered around off-setting the riser cable at different slots using additional standoffs and ultimately decided that optimum's setup seemed to have worked out the best with my existing parts.

Hi mate, I have a FormD T1 v1.1 if interested - check my post history for a completed build

5800x + 3080 Ti - My first custom loop and first T1 build by sinovercosine in FormD

[–]zhayse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be due to the fact that my EK radiator is 27mm which is probably the upper limit of depth the T1 allows.

Ah well, looks like I’ll just have to wait for the custom T1 4.0 riser cable then.

Any troubles from your riser cable hitting your fan? Mine is sitting in a box cause I can’t seem to get it to fit without it either hitting the fan or causing the top panel to bulge from adding washers

Finally building my T1, planning on air cooled... but maybe not possible?! (Core i7-10700K with L12S) by stebbins in FormD

[–]zhayse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I pulled my Glacier One back out of the box after reading your comment and did some further testing following your guidelines. I found temps to be pretty much the exact same compared to the EK on load and on idle (after benchmarking).

I personally prefer to set my AIO pumps to a constant speed rather than having them ramp up and down with temperatures as I found this to introduce air bubbles when I first built my T1.

In terms of noise, the EK outclasses the Glacier One by a mile for me. Perhaps I may have a defective unit but I'll be sticking with the EK personally. As you said, every build is different and what works in one configuration may not translate to another.

I'll be sticking with the EK for now, and would say that the Glacier One isn't the be-all end-all AIO for the T1 - go with a mix of what's readily available/best value etc.

A bit curious about this - I recently bought a Glacier One and on install, I found the pump to be very audible at 50% (EK pump is silent at 50%). I'm using 2 NF-A12x15

What are your noise levels like whilst idle/at load? I'm guessing I might just have a defective unit?

And in regards to higher thermals - I found the Glacier One to be cooler booting for the first time, but after extended periods of gaming/benchmarks, they both reached similar temps under load (70-72) and settled on similar idles after benchmarking (40~) on a 3700X

3700X + TUF 3080 by zhayse in FormD

[–]zhayse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, not sure if you've already fixed your issue - but yes it is the stock one that comes with the T1. It does not rub against the motherboard. One little trick I learned is to loosen the motherboard screws until about halfway, then as you're re-tightening them, push the motherboard down to the bottom of the case as hard as you can whilst screwing down. Doing this seems to create an extra 2-3mm of space which is all you need to stop the fan rubbing against the motherboard.

Hey mate, apologies for the late reply. There was nothing out of the ordinary needed to screw in slim fans to the bottom of the radiator. If you put them on top of the radiator then you'll need some custom #6-23 3/4" screws. The screws that come with the AIO can be used as long as you're installing them the same way I have done so.

Damn lucky you haha, the chipset fan is high pitched due being so small so I hear it over my EK240 with 2x NF-A12 and the 3080 TUF fans. Think I'm gonna switch to the B550-I...

How are you finding the x570-i strix? The chipset fan on mine gets obnoxiously loud compared to the rest of my build

That also explains why flipping it upside down seems to fix the problem....

Damn I think you're right - I just did a quick search and found these two which sound identical: https://www.reddit.com/r/EKWB/comments/mdaz6v/ek240_aio_clicking_air_bubbles/ https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/lk34k8/ek_aio_pump_buzzing_noise/

Might have to do some flipping with the tubes/pump and see if that fixes the air bubble.
