G2s in the build.

Box came messed up smh. thanks amazon. but fans were intact. added the 5mm spacer to reduce turbulence further. these bad boys are dead quiet and run them at 70% under full load. i have a noisey HVAC unit and when i game it kicks on so i can barley hear the system over. Just waiting for my wired WVP 2 to arrive and then mess around with its placement so i have it visible, probably to the left of PSU. been learning CAD/Fusion and with my 3D scanner thinking about making some kind of bracket so it can mount securely. so much fun in store!!

Formdt1 for beginner preview.

I love the concept of formd t1 and
I also like sff in general.
The idea of a powerful computer system in a tiny footprint is awe-inspiring.
But after spending a couple days researching about this case.
I have realized that this is an enthusiast case.
Formd t1 is the ferrari of sff.
You don't buy ferrari for its practicality.
But you buy if for the beauty, engineering and being very good at one thing it is designed to do.

If you want to get into this, you have to be willing to accept compromise.
Lets say you want this case for practical reason,
like travelling pc.
You would need gpu travel kit, which only works on founder edition cards and asus pro art cards.
If you want to max spec this case with thick gpu and AIO, I think you would definitely need custom mod cables, for which you have to dig another rabbit hole of cable compatibility.

Be prepared to pay premium for parts that fit.
Be prepared to research which fits and which not.
Be prepared to get handy mods or 3d printing.

Again, this pc case is a very good premium hobbyist case. I really wanted to build with this case, and i fall in love with this since optimun's first video about it.
But currently my time and money are no match for this.
Just posting this so you know what you are getting into and not waste your time.

Silver vs Gunmetal

I’m planning on buying a T1 but i’m stuck on what color to get. I’m in between Silver and Gunmetal. I’ve seen a lot of videos showing off both of them but i’m still stuck. Does anyone have a good side by side comparisons of them or just good pictures of either one to convince me one over the other?

Building in the T1 is my worst experience so far.

Hi.

Please dont take this post as salty as it might sound, I just want to share my experience so that other may learn from it.

I dont think I've ever had a worse experience building a pc, or anything else for that matter. I got off work today exited to finally build in my T1 as I had gotten all the parts I needed.

I started unboxing and assemble the case. Ran into issues on the first step, the side bars didnt fit in the slots on the backpiece. Frontpiece they fit fine so not an issue with the bars themselves. No biggie, I can file the slot a little bigger to fit it.

Manage that and moved forward, was about to mount the standoffs for the motherboard when I noticed that the assembly instruction didnt match the standoffs I had, the only difference is that I was missing the one with longer threads.

I scrolled through instruction quickly and didnt see anywhere that it would matter so installed the 4 6mm standoffs I had and started to mount the PSU, could only get 3 out of 4 screws to fit, and here is where I stopped, as the next step would include tearing down the pc I'm writing this post from.

I had enough of the issues and didnt want to tear apart a working system no longer trusting that I'd even be able to complete the build in the T1.

I will be reaching out to support to see if i can get a replacement. I hope this happens to nobody else.

Feet on side panel for sideways mount?

Want to know if anyone has done this or has a solution but I’d like to stand my t1 on its side, basically laying it on one side of the side panels.

I currently have a glass panel on one side so I’m assuming I can just put some sticky rubber feet on that (glassh side and it would be the same air flow I currently have anyways.

Curious if anyone here has done something like this already

First ever PC build, what do you guys think?

Can someone recommend me stand-off & screws packs for the t1, I have lost some of mine and don’t know the right size, I can get them from Amazon if that works?

I want them to do multiple standoff mods to space the GPU, mobo, psu ETC and have some spare ones as well

67mm cpu cooler in 2.5 slot

Normally 2.5 slot only has 63mm height for cpu cooler. But I found this setup with rc600 (67.5mm) while gpu in 2.5 slot. The side panel seems fit well also. Is it possible to fit it really?

Forged Carbon Fiber Wrap

Posted awhile ago asking for ideas on a front panel. Landed on the idea of some type of carbon fiber but most carbon fiber wraps look really cheap. Didn’t want something too glossy so ended up going for a forged carbon fiber wrap that is “dry” or has no gloss. Still debating if I should keep it or not, looks better than I initially anticipated though.

Last pic was the first idea for the front panel but wasn’t feeling it as my whole setup is blacked out

multiple BSODs 'video scheduler internal error' Is the included riser gen 4 from formd back in the day, faulty? i came back to my t1 today with different hardwarde (sold previous amd gpu pc) installed a 5080 today and was having so many issues i thought the card was broken for a second.

Came back to the T1 today and Multiple BSODs with error 'Video Scheduler Internal Error' , VGA white LED on mobo, is my riser cooked? I was able to fix it re-seating everything and setting the riser to operate at gen 4 on the motherboard. It's the default riser that comes with the t1 from formd

But initially i wasnt even getting video output from the GPU. Fresh windows install.

Wonder if i should buy a different riser for my 5080?

TARS - Silver FormD T1 2.1 Build

It was posts like these on Reddit/Discord that have inspired me and helped me to create my very own build. I figured - it's time to bring it back to the community and hope to inspire others with my own build.

In 2025, it has become unavoidable to notice that my 2015-16 Hardware in my ATX case is ageing and I wanted to part ways with RGB/Glass aesthetic. That's when I started to research deeper into SFF PC Builds, and eventually became hooked on FormD's slick, minimal aesthetic.

Feel free to ask any questions - happy to help. Going from ATX to SFF has been a blessing.

Parts List:

CASE - FormD T1 2.1 / Anodized Silver / Steel Coated

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

GPU - ASUS 5070TI Prime

RAM - Crucial 32GB 6400MHz CL38

MOBO - Asus ROG STRIX B850-I

SSD - WD SN7100 2TB M.2

PSU - Corsair SF850

CPU Cooler - Thermalright AXP90-X47 Copper

CPU Fan - 4070 CNC Metal Fan

EXHAUST FANS - Corsair RS120 Max

FAN Shroud - 3D Printed FormD T1 Exhaust Shroud V2 by EIGA

FAN Splitter - JZK 26cm 4pin Fan Splitter

PSU Custom Cables - Cablester Copper Teflon Cables (1x 24 Pin, 1x 8 Pin CPU,1x 12vhpwr)

TRAVEL KIT - 3D Printed SMXHeinz Asus Prime 5070ti

M19 Plugs - 3D Printed

USB C Front I/O - T1 V2 USB Type-E to Type-C Cable

Air cooling my 7800X3D

Hello everyone,

I’m still struggling to get the perfect temperatures with my setup.

Specs
- ROG STRIX B850-I
- AMD 7800X3D
- MSI INSPIRE 3X 5070Ti
- AXP90-X47
- Corsair 850W

In idle I reach temps of 55C and while playing around 75C - 80C. all temps are from HWinfo ( Tdie)

What I already did is:

- Undervolting all cores by -25
- PBO set to PPT 70W, TDC 70A and EDC 100A
- EXPO 1
- temp limit set to 80C
- SoC voltage set to 1.2V

Is there anything wrong what I did or is there still room to im prove it.

T1 V2.5 Panel question

Hey - I picked up a T1 V2.5 recently and noticed the panels seemed a little bent. They straighten out when pressure is applied to both corners at once, but I don't know if this is normal and the panels will straighten out when the case is assembled or not. A few of the corners also seem more bent than the others (last picture). Does this look normal?

Thanks!

FormD v2.1 E-white Bottom Tgrill flip Travel kit

Just wanted to share my build. I searched everywhere for somebody using the T grill as a bottom panel. I do remember Chris Russell showing it. however, there was not an official fix for the bottom feet to fit at that time.
I bought my T grill pretty recently and it has dedicated screw locations for the case feet to be fastened now. Thermals are really good with this 9950x3d and the Atmos stealth. I was honestly worried that that CPU was going to overwhelm this AIO in such a tight space, but it is doing just fine.
GPU temps with the under volt are absolutely fine usually about 70°.

scalpers… but i needed them to complete my build.

each vented glass panels costs more than a T1 on the scalper market 😭 ashamed but just happy i got my build looking how i wanted it to. the GPU thermals did improve by 2C (74 max to 72 max in 5K gaming)

Specs:
5090FE
9950X3D (-30 PBO)
Gskill Flare X5 64Gb 6000mhz CL30
6TB total in NVME storage
Asus ROG X870-I
SF1000 3.1 ATX

Monitor are the new Tandem OLED 5K2K 39GX950B-B and Corsair Xeneon Edge
Keyboard is Whooting 80HE
Mouse is Swiftpoint Z2

previously i was running two LG 32in 4K dual mode but once i saw this bad boy i knew i had to have it. sold them both for 500 with one only having 167 hours.

just waiting for Noctua Chromax G2s in 120mm and the Swiftpoint Z3 to release so i can stop burning money on my set up.
