After I realized that Noctua won't fit I was going between IS-55 and thermalright but I was scared to make a mistake again and IS-55 doesn't fit. I've seen some photos on reddit that it fits but it was tight.
i was wondering what type of person would willingly subject themselves to this type of aesthetic torture, then I saw the blender viewport and it all made sense
Actually, in compact cases it's usually better for the fans to exhaust warm air out rather than bring cool air in from the top. This helps prevent heat buildup since hot air naturally rises. While intake can work in some setups, especially with specific GPU or CPU coolers, exhausting is generally more effective for overall thermal management in this case.
Hi, I don’t game a lot, but for example, in Black Myth: Wukong during gameplay, it’s in the mid-60s, and I'm getting just over 90 fps. During heavy rendering in Blender, it’s also in the high 60s, but when I'm doing some heavy simulation or running Cinebench, that’s when it shoots up to the mid-90s.
I have a old corsair SF750 and a 4090 Does it make sense to upgrade to the SF750 ATX3.1 version for the upcoming 5090? Any advantges of the SF750 ATX3.1 vs the old one?
Im sure someone else would be better to answer this as I'm no expert but from what I understand if you are not planning to upgrade to 5090 anytime soon and you don't have any power instability with current set up I don't see the need to upgrade.
I have a bug in which my Overlay gliched out of the screen so I can't see all but all the layers I see can't be moved eddited or deleted and they aren't even monitored. Can someone help?
AIOs like Cooler Master's 240 Atmos or 240L Core fit in the Formd T1 without any modification needed at all. The mounting brackets come standard. The idea of watercooling is that it lets you run more heavily threaded loads without completely overwhelming your cooling solution. The AXP90-47 might just be better for a single core workload (see EIGA's experience with the 7950X3D) but the moment you hit it with a heavily threaded load, it all falls apart as there simply isnt enough thermal mass to soak up all the heat and dissipate it properly. The AIO has a radiator and coolant which do a much better job at soaking up the heat generated by a multi threaded workload and then dissipating it over a larger surface area.
For the PCU could I bump up to the SF1000 or is the sf750 plenty? I plan on using the PROART but using the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GIGABYTE B650I AORUS ULTRA board. thoughts ?
The SF750 should be sufficient for your build, as the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and ProArt RTX 4080 combo are relatively power-efficient for high-performance hardware. However, if you want more headroom for potential upgrades than go for SF1000
It might look intimidating at first, but it really is super easy to install and AIO. See a couple of YT videos quite similar to your build and see it yourself how much of a massive difference it makes both in temperatures and as a result on performance. High 80s to low / mid 90s are quite bad for CPU temps, you will be losing performance on the table also not great for the longevity of your system either. I highly recommend switching to a 280 AIO.
Hi thanks for the suggestion, Im thinking of doing that however where I live the price of AIO is double to what I would pay in US so when I go back I'll probably get one.
@@MarinkoTambur The offest is 0.075 or 0.75? Those numbers seems a little crazy. Can you do a follow up video with your undervolt and some Cinebench runs with your settings?
@@SammerJammer sorry its 0.075 I just ran the test again and average temp is 94 and Im only getting 32k score. I think I was getting average temp if 87 previously as I ran single core test just before running multi thread. Im still new to all of this so not really sure what Im doing :D
Nice ITX build. I would personally change 2 things: 1.) Instead of Intel, an AMD R9 7950X at 105W TDP with the AXP-90 Full Copper and black fan TL-9015B 2.) Instead of the Coolermaster fans, 2x Phanteks T30 on top
not sure why youd put a 7950x unless you specifically have work streams that require that kind of power when a 7800x3d is much lower tdp and doesn't sacrifice much.
@@Phlorge Well, for a gaming PC I would also rather go for the 7800X3D. However, most people use a computer to work with and for heavy workloads the 7950X is the better solution.
Hey, why didn't you use am5? It seems to me more reasonable, based on the latest news, consumption and temperatures... And yes, a cheaper processor with a more expensive graphics card could increase performance. but I enjoyed the beautifully filmed computer assembly process, I love SFF! Keep up the good work, the video is great!
Hi, thanks for the comment. As I said at the beginning no experience and not enough research before buying the parts. I was building this mainly for video editing and 3d and not so much for games, and I think I saw some videos where this CPU performed better. Looking back just for thermals and power draw AMD would probably be better choice.
There is no Arctic Fan in this size. The Thermalright fan has better temperatures then the Noctua fan, on this cooler the swap make it worse, not better. If you don't like the red/orange color of the Full Copper AXP-90 fan, then you can swap to the black fan version - TL-9015B.
@@DIDISCH68 lol what.........in every aspect the noctua a9x14 will sound better and def doesn't perform worse. arctic f9 fits but haven't personally tried that one
The CPU is very power-hungry, and with this setup, it's impossible to cool it effectively, so I'm not getting the full potential from it. The motherboard also has compatibility issues with the cooler I purchased, and it's probably overkill for this build. I could have saved money by choosing a cheaper option that would meet all my needs. A better choice might have been an AMD chip, as it would be easier to cool
It's overkill for my setup as I'm not overclocking the CPU and due to compatibility issues with certain coolers. I could have gone cheaper and still gotten everything I need.
This case just like any of the NCASE are so easy to scratch it's not even funny. GN has review of it and apparently, they use cheaper material to cut cost.....😀👎ridicules.
I love how compact and clean this looks.
The style feels like it could fit any aesthetic, personally love it! 🤍
Very nicely done. I got an IS-55 to fit in my FormD T1, but I'm not using a three slot configuration.

What set of cables did you end up using for the GPU to not daisy-chain the ones that came with it?
amzn.to/483Pxez
Very nice but black rectangle box pc's are passe in 2025. The Fractal Design Terra in fern green is the future for case aesthetic.
Didnt you put the two case fans in the wrong direction? Normally i would want the cool air from the outside to go into the case not out

In most sandwitch cases that are sub 10L or smaller, you just want to exhaust any heat out.
Good job, keep it up.
Kinda off topic here but, whats the screwdriver you're using?
Fanttik E1 Max 3.7V Mini Electric Screwdriver, just added the link bellow
interesting. I am running the same ram and L12S works just fine with no gap between, but I'm using the arous B650I for AM5.
Which L12S do you have? this one is low profile version, and it only fits in High-Clearance mode on Z790i
do the longer screws for the cpu cooler come with it or do i have to buy them seperately?
They're included in the package along with the mounting kit.
I want to build in either this case, fractal terra, or the fractal era 2
please add the part list in the description too....

Idle is 40
@@MarinkoTambur you should probably get a noctua fan swap for your cooler then.. just a suggestion!

Yes, first I had it in 3 slot mode but had to move it to get more space for the cooler

You could probably use a lower voltage at 2600 and save even more power. You are using the same voltage I use at 2800Mhz.
I tried lowering the voltage more but I'm getting better performance rendering with these settings.
Can you share your cable length? i have a similar build in the fractal terra but planning to switch to the T1
Hi if you are asking for PCIe I think its 19cm if im not mistaking. there is a link in the description. Rest was stock cables
What cable did u use too connect the gpu ?
amzn.to/483Pxez
Becareful with this AXP-90 screws, they tend to dig into the PCIe riser cable.
You are right, I was actually thinking I installed something wrong when I was trying to connect PCIe riser cable.
@@MarinkoTambur use the shorter ones even though they’re not intended for AM5.
@@MarinkoTambur it’s incredible you understood what I was saying with all my typos
Might be a bit of a stretch but the T1 does support a 240 AIO on the top. You could consider getting one to better cool the 13900K.
Still not going to be enough to properly cool a 13900k but a lot better than that Thermalright.
Hi, I really wanted to have it air cooled as it seemed safer option with my lack of experience plus I need the whole system to be mobile as possible.
Hi Richard. What is your suggestion? Is it even possible to air cool it properly in this configuration?
@@MarinkoTambur Not with that CPU, I honestly don't think you can properly cool a 14600k with that cooler but it would be better.

Why would you go with the minimum wattage recommended for that GPU?
Space constraints was the main reason
My 4080 with a undervolt only uses like 200-250 watts when gaming tbh. And I also use the sf750 and has never had any issues.
Where are temps and gaming benches?
Hello, I am very interested in FormD, I happen to have an Asus TUF 4070 Super, can it be applied to the FormD T1?
Hi, yes it should fit. I've seen some photos on reddit that it fits.

Awesome! Thank you for the reply, and just to ensure there is plenty of room for the SF1000 as it’s the same size as the SF750 correct?
I think SF1000 is longer by 25mm
I wouldn't go for the 750. Minimum wattage for the 4080 is 750W. You should go with something higher, like an 850.
I've ran the sf750 with a 4080 for over a year it's all undervolted and have never seen any issue.
