Yes, 4090 FE fits. You'll have to build around the GPU a bit more though, but it's a great option. You'll want to build in 3 slot mode.

It does fine, no issues to be honest.

I appreciate the advice, I'll have to practice some more!

Glad I could help! If you ever want to learn more, I'd recommend joining the Discord linked in the description. Some explanations about the situation with v2.5 and v2.1 there as well.

The pagoda sounds like a great place to build, wish I had thought of that!

Give it a try! I haven't got to NG+ yet so I don't know if it matters then. Nobody seems to talk about pagoda bases, but one guy says he liked it, but mosquito raids were kind of annoying after a while.

I already only get the mosquito raids where I'm at now. I think you don't lose any base builds in NG+.

It does have the pump in the radiator but this is a non-issue for this style of pump. I'm still using my lumen without issues.

@@Simply_Scott good to know. Thank you for the reply!

The designers always intended for both configurations (adapter housing outside & inside) to be possible. Neither is wrong, it just comes down to preference. I talk about it at some point in the build stream when the designers themselves told me. The adapter housing mold having countersunk screws just makes it look nicer on the outside, on the inside the screws are not visible.

That makes sense, from an aesthetic point of view, having the plug on the inside. It just makes getting one of the screws a bit awkward to get in. Appreciate the insight.

@@skylineboy092 Getting the the screw in that's covered was hard so I just opted to have it on the outside. Also the face of the plug is not flat when you have it inside it will lead to bending on both ends where they are screwed.

There is a spot for a 2.5" drive between the PSU and front panel, it's independent of the slot selection, but does not work with the alternative PSU mount (only with the standard one). That said, normally it only supports one 2.5" drive, but I've seen 3D prints to make it support more, pretty sure they're pinned in the workshop channel in SFF Hub (see description).

@@Simply_Scott forgot to mention, what about 2.5”, 15mm thick drive? Most U.2 drive are 15mm thick.

As far as I know they're the same size as 2.5" SATA SSDs, so should be fine. Pretty sure I've seen people squeeze 3 2.5" SSDs between front panel and PSU even, so you should be alright. Will need a 3D print though (or tape I guess).

From the FAQ: Q What screwdriver is that? A The listing I bought it from calls it "XIAOMI Mijia 350mAh 200rpm Electric Precision Screwdriver Type-C Rechargeable 2 Gears Repair Tool W/ Magnetic Storage Case & 24pcs S2 Steel Bits", paid just under $30 for it including delivery to the UK. Does the job well enough! Wishing you a pleasant day :)

Hi, for a 14600 you should still be fine with an air cooler for gaming loads, especially if you're willing to do some tuning. I would recommend joining the SFF Hub Discord and asking for advice there.

You could, but you're leaving a lot of cooling performance on the table then. I made a Reddit post about my testing of it a while back "AIO Fan Testing For T1 v2 sandwich layout".

I think as of today the V2.5 comes with some countersunk screws as well (when current stock runs out I assume). You could also just get a V2.1, or indeed buy a different set of screws.

@@Simply_Scott my 2.5 is shipping already. A wish I could get a 2.1 before knowing about all the drama. Seams like the 2.5 is a step down in quality, but seeing your reaction in the video it doesn’t seams that bad

It isn't that bad, it sure is unfortunate about all the drama.

Yes.

There is 46mm of clearance there, most AIOs have a radiator 27mm thick, so 15.6mm thick won't be an issue if that's your AIO's radiator thickness too.

@@Simply_Scott do you prefer noctua over t30 for the PSU side?

@@arnoldalfox I use a T30, the A12x25 is good too, really up to you, difference is marginal.

If you're building with a 4090 make sure to check out K0rnd4wg's build guide as well. On the FormD subreddit I have a post called something along the lines of "extensive thermal testing", that'll give you some ideas. In short, temps are fine, temps for your most components will be fine too, just keep in mind a 7800x3d runs hot regardless of what you cool it with. In the SFF Gurus Discord we've got quite a few people with your exact set-up and they do fine, can even air-cool the 7800x3d.

@@Simply_Scott thanks for the advice!

Make sure you're using the short fan brackets. I'd recommend joining the SFF gurus Discord I've got linked in the description, you can be helped there.

@@Simply_Scott thank you! I don't have all your things from v2.0 , so idk what to use for gpu hanger/support and my cables are stiff haha. Ps: where.d you find the fan grill? Had loads back in the day but since I only had the a4 that has 92mm

I haven't got a fan grill in the video, so I'm not sure what you mean. There are some guides for v1.1 specifically around, I'd recommend you try and find those. On the SFF Gurus Discord there are some guides linked and a bunch of helpful people. The v1.1 is quite different in terms of assembly.

Glad I could help!

Same man. Used this video for 2 builds this month. Great walkthrough.

What GPU are you using? Normally you'd offset the PSU like I show at 8:45, but in 3.25 slot mode there's not enough space for that. If you're using a 3 slot GPU like a 4080/4090 FE I'd recommend you build in 3 slot mode and offset the PSU as is recommended. There's also a 3 slot build guide on RUclips. You still use the normal motherboard stand-offs.

@@Simply_Scott using 4090fe, i believe in 3.25 slots the 5mm standoffs meant for the psu is diverted to the gpu riser bar. Therefore the PSU doesn't use any standoffs and the gpu is pushed right up against the mesh. Optimum tech made a video that briefly talks about 3.25 slot: ruclips.net/video/Z2fZOykkyjQ/видео.html (timestamped)

@@GoldFus1on Yes OT did that, it's an odd decision. Much better off going for the recommended build method and building in 3 slot mode with the PSU on stand-offs. ruclips.net/video/FT_Xc4OK_KQ/видео.html&pp=ygUPZm9ybWQgdDEgMyBzbG90 you can see a proper 3 slot build guide video here.

It's been done, there's a post on r/sffpc, you'll find it if you Google "4090 suprim liquid formd t1", but it's not officially supported, and it's so tight I'd recommend against it personally, but it is possible.

@@Simply_Scott thanks for the info. then perhaps inno3d ichill black 4090 will fit better. thanks!

Yes this is on emulator, it's been pretty good so far, in my opinion. Of course I went out and bought the console + game + DLCs to get the necessary files.

If you join the SFF Gurus Discord I have linked in the description, and check the pins in the #formd channel, you can find some suggested cable lengths there.

I haven't seen it done as it is a pretty old AIO, but if it is actually 31mm, it should work. However, there are quite a few 240 AIOs you can try, like the Phanteks Glacier One 240MP & Lumen S24 v2 if you don't want software control or a big mess of wires; if you do want that, you can look into the Corsair H100i pro xt or the NZXT x53.

I made it myself, so I don't have lengths for it. If you join the Discord linked in the video description, we have a set of suggested lengths there in the #formd channel pinned messages. We have them over on the r/formd subreddit as well.

It's shown at 08:11, it attaches to the front panel. You cannot use it with the alternative PSU mount, only with the standard one.

@@Simply_Scott hey thank you! Been debating if i should get this but the wait time is crazy.

@@kazen16 It's definitely a sweet case in my opinion. Generally it arrives 1-2 weeks after it's been shipped. Titanium is delayed at the moment though, sorting out some defects, but black is ready and shipping quick. You can join the Discord I have linked in the video description, lots of SFF focused people there that can help you make a decision.

Haha, definitely not!

SFX PSUs is what you want, SFX-L can fit, but it is very tight. Specifically I highly recommend the Corsair SF750, numerous people running 13900k + 4090 builds on it without issue.

I would recommend DreamBigByRayMOD on Etsy, but they're on holiday for Chinese New Year right now. They are very affordable and good quality though. There are other cable makers too, like Pexon, Pslate, Cablemod, and more. If you want suggested cable lengths, check the pins in the #formd channel in the Discord I linked in the video description.
