CORRECTION: Following the case instructions puts the radiator on the bottom and can shorten the lifespan of your pump. To fix this, you can flip case and put the feet on the “top” panel instead. Sorry for the oversight!

Why are you installing the radiator at the bottom of the case? That's a great way to prematurely kill the pump because the pump shouldn't be above the rad. The FormD T1 allows that configuration from the top. I really don't get that build decision.

Literally yesterday built a 7800X3D and a Powercolor 6800XT, I whole hardedly agree a tray to separate the screws would have been a godsend. Took me 4 hours to build. The darn thing would post, so I disassembled everything down to the cpu, reassembled everything and come to find out my DP cable wasn’t plugged into my monitor. But it was soo fulfilling coming from a Lian Li Evo to see everything crammed in this case so smoothly. Custom cables are a must. I ordered mine from pslate customs.

@markdavies981 6 ай бұрын

Another excellent video. One of your best builds in my opinion. I love this case. It's similar to the Fractal Terra, but more flexible. I have the reference version of the T1, and I've been using it for the past year. The reference version is a very good solution for air cooling, as it has a lot more space for the CPU cooler. I prefer air cooling, but that's just me. The worst thing about this case I have experienced is the feet. I often move my PC from room to room, since it's so small. In so doing, and I am not heavy handed, two of the rubber feet have worn through to the metal underneath. So, if you slide it around too much like you do at 10:40 in the video, the feet will wear out. I just ordered some new feet from Ali Express lol.

In another video I have seen that there might be an issue with heat management when using components that are too demanding. I'd get components like an RX 7800 XT with a Ryzen 5 7500F and plan to build it in an A4-H2O using an AIO. Do you think this will work fine, also considering later upgrade options?

@harryhalfmoon 3 ай бұрын

Wow. What CPU, cooler and GPU are in that build? Not much room for cooling left and that with a 3 slot GPU. I'm guessing you have a pair of T30s on top, sucking at maximum capacity to keep that setup from throttling. I'm curious, so please share. I just finished my T1 build today, using an Atmos 240, and cabling was quite a challenge with stock Corsair cables. It turned out quite nice, but it took me many, many hours to get it right. I had to mount the PSU in alternative / 90 degree mode, to prevent the cables from clogging up the airflow of the T30 on the radiator. AIO tubes are very cramped in that setup, but it works, just barely.

The top/bottom panel's are identical. You can flip the entire chassis upside-down if you need to thus the radiator being on top now. The only thing making the bottom panel as the bottom is that you'd install the case feet there.
