    c l e a n . custom exhaust shroud and panels were dope.
  • This is the best Formd T1 build i have seen till now. You should do a build guide video !!!!
  • @beyornd1
    This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Sitting on a 7800X3D and a 3080 TUF on the ASUS B650I and was just waiting for the right sign to start my T1 build. Just ordered the case and 3d prints, thank you so much for your hard work.
  • @mimp8365
    Thorough, informative, innovative and consistent too! Can’t imagine anything but the best coming your way if you’re in this for the long run. 💯
  • @thatguyjaykay
    This is amazing, not idea how you don't have a larger following. Very impressive. I've got my full build waiting patiently for me to be able to snag a titanium T1. Very similar build to yours, can't wait.
  • @TheRealMafoo
    This is awesome. I have a 5900X and 7900xt in my T1 v2.5, with basic AIO, and everything works well and is dead quiet (to my old ears anyway). I have these components, because they were just what was in my old ITX build, but it's nice to know if I upgrade in the future, and want to go air cooled, that someone has put in the hard work to prove what is possible. Thanks so much!
  • @Thousand_Word
    Such a baller build. This is exactly what i’m interested in for my next build. Now that 4k is much more standard it makes a lot more sense for me to start a new project.
  • @kal8377
    Excellent build and video! Got me excited to build my own version of this build!
  • @stepahinigor
    Wow this is really unexpected plot twist haha. A year ago I have the same specs as you but only 7900X (bought it a couple months before the 7800X3D came out) and I dreamed of making the same custom loops as you, but it required a lot more time money and effort, so I built air cooling version exactly the same as you in this video except for the custom stuff and I'm happy. But still there are two important changes. 1. I installed a 120mm Noctua on the CPU through the adapter, it's a little quieter and gives a little better temperature, including cooling the RAM as well. 2. At first I had a regular APX90-X47 Full Copper like yours, but it annoyed me with its color and I found a rare Full Copper Graphene Coated version on T-Mall, it's gray, thank god now I can sleep well. Thanks for the video! Now I won't have to worry and dream about a custom loop like yours. And thanks for the 3d exhaust, that's an interesting idea. I also didn't know about the travel kit and it annoyed me that the 4090 tilts a bit.

    Awesome video - the turbulence noise for the cuboid is mainly from the shape I've found, smaller holes and round holes specifically seem to help a lot more. A good example is the Fractal Terra which has horrid turbulence noise compared to the T1 if you stick either side panel directly on top of a fan
  • @borpaSpin0
    great vid thanks, i plan on jumping into a new build this gpu release and fell in love with this case from you and optimum's videos on it. very excited to build. ill definitely use your links to parts <3
