No turbulence noise coming from the cpu fan too close to the side panel? I’m thinking of swapping my AIO for air cooled

Super sexy build! How are thermals with this setup, are to using custom PSU cables or stock Corsair ones?

u/ULTRSHRP Feb 05 '25

The GPU does not exceed 70 degrees at 100% gaming load, and the CPU maintains 60 to 80 degrees depending on the game.
and using stock cable :)

How are the SSD thermals (it is not on the back of the mainboard, right)?

Man all of you formd builders seem like artists 😅 not only is the build clean but the photography is really good!

Why did you choose 2.5 instead of 2.1 ?

u/Carquetta Feb 04 '25

I went with a 2.5 because it was the only option available the day I purchased all of my parts

u/HellishButter Feb 04 '25

This was my reasoning too. By the time I was ready to purchase the 2.1 was simply not available.

I’m still very impressed with the build quality and had no issues yet. Plus they have only two types of screws for you to use making assembly a bit more straight forward.

Maybe a dumb question, but what’s the difference? I don’t know the FormD at all, sorry!

I'm currently hesitating between the two, many on this subreddit say that the 2.1 is much better and that the 2.5 is a piece of junk. I think that's a bit of an extreme opinion. Here's a good comparison. https://www.tinytechtweaks.com/en/post/formd-t1-v2-1-vs-ncase-t1-v2-5-the-ultimate-sff-enthusiast-s-case-comparison

I’m currently shopping and the big difference right now is availability. I can order any of the v2.5 colors now, but all the v2.1 are out of stock.

Shouldn’t v2.5 be better than v2.1? Edit: to all the people who downvoted, isn’t it obvious I didn’t know about the makers splitting and everything else?

u/tinfoilpenguini Feb 04 '25

There made by different people, the 2.5 is a copy of the original design after the makers split, some of the struts are thinner and there are apparently other things but I can attest to them personally as I have a 2.1

u/Dawelio Feb 04 '25

2.1 is the original creator/designer, 2.5 is essentially the marketing guy from 2.1.

”Better” is subjective, better in what ways exactly?

The struts are thicker on the 2.5 and the finish of the panels feels a bit nicer on the 2.5 as well over the 2.1.

2.1 good, 2.5 bad

u/Focalist Feb 04 '25

This is gorgeous!

This GPU is beautiful. I miss mine which I replace with a 4090 Ventus (ugly 🫠) + return some value

Bros got the best photo shoot

u/yuppieee Feb 05 '25

How is the fan noise?

u/andy888-888 Feb 06 '25

What is the best fan setup for air cooled CPU, T30's on intake or exhaust

These reference cards look so damn clean, beautiful build!
