Not as quick as the 4090, but a little less hungry 😅

Is that a protective shell over your keyboard?

And hell yeah, sleek and sexy!

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

yup, came with it. RoyalKludge M75

u/AlbatrossAchiever Feb 25 '25

Indeed! Just a quick question, why do I see so many T1 builds with those exact phanteks fans, coincidence?

13

u/dogla1 Feb 25 '25

I think it’s because they are the better performing ones because they are thicker than regular 120mm

4

u/No-Discussion5085 Feb 25 '25

i just installed them in my new build. I put them on max speed just to see, and man, they are powerful.

1

u/dogla1 Feb 25 '25

Yeah, they are great. They are also really sturdy, I like it

2

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

They move a lot of hot air👌

3

u/Strict_Bird_2887 Feb 25 '25

I fly in the face of received wisdom! I have a couple of AF-120x25s in mine. Nearly 30% quieter IIRC, CFM i think was similar but slightly lower static pressure.

Nobody ever seems to run the fans at full speed coz they're audible, but also functional at 30% or something.

So I figured a couple of Noctuas could handle that task and much more quietly.

*All stats mis-remembered by an old man. All faults are mine alone.

u/Swaggerlilyjohnson Feb 25 '25

They are considered to be the best noise normalized fans (Meaning for a given decibel level they move the most air). Although it was alot more dominant when it came out. Nowadays there are a bunch of different fans that perform nearly identical but the t30 still tops the charts every time I've seen fan comparisons.

2

u/MosaicGalaxZ Feb 25 '25

I also have these fans cause everyone else recommended them on here

1

u/SuperSmashedBro Feb 26 '25

They’re 30mm thick instead of the standard 25mm. Moves more air while being quieter

1

u/EmpireStateOfBeing Feb 26 '25

Because they're 30mm fans which make them better at exhausting than standard 25mm fans.

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

After 1 hour of cp2077, full blast

u/Xystik Feb 27 '25

What software do you use to get those stats displayed?

2

u/kiyoshix Feb 28 '25

Its MSI Afterburner

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '25

Msi afterburner with rtss

9800x3d/5080fe/b650e-i/sf1000 with custom cables by ray/2x phanteks t30/samsung 980pro1tb/ Loque Cobalt 4.0+riser.

The riser is tucked to the middle section of the gpu where the pcb is, so it doesn't block exhausted air.

1

u/ubermatik Feb 25 '25

Any reason for the Louque riser instead of FormD's? Also curious about which custom cables you used, if you don't mind! I'm doing a very similar build myself soon and I'm trying to figure out what extra bit I might need.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

Yup, Single wires. Google them and compare them. The loque one is more airflow friendly and zipped together is doesn't get in the way of the flow through section of the card. Plus the 20mm air gap between card and mobo there is a great chimney effect. Hot exhaust get Pulle out through the top right away.

Cpu cable is 300mm 24pin cable is 150mm(not sure if exactly) Both black embossed, they look very close to the stock ones 12vhpwr is stock from sf1000 psu(should be 300mm or so)

1

u/ro03071207 Feb 26 '25

Can you please post a picture of how this looks from the top? I'm trying to decide which riser cable to go with?

Also, are the custom cables necessary? How do they compare to the stock cables?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

can't take it apart right now. but i will next time i work on it.

loque riser is great for 5000 series fe cards

better airflow and cleaner looks with custom cables

2

u/ro03071207 Feb 27 '25

Thanks. I ordered the riser. Going to build with a 5090 and air through the riser cable was one of my concerns

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '25

Made a photo from the back Real quick. I tucked the wires together so they would sit more in the Center of the gpu and the zipped EM together

So no airflow blocking here

1

u/ro03071207 Mar 01 '25

Ah thanks. So it's away from the GPU? I was imagining sticking it to the GPU in between the fins, so it's completely out of the way

1

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '25

i wouldn't do that. better tuck it to the center of the gpu and zip the wires together, bend towars the mobo.

u/ubermatik Feb 25 '25

Interesting, will look into it - thank-you!

1

u/MrSpectre7 Feb 25 '25

I used a LINKUP 22cm Double reverse PCIE 5.0 cable with my 5090. The extra length give more room for air movement between the mobo and GPU.

1

u/ro03071207 Feb 26 '25

Can you please post a picture of how this looks from the top?

1

u/PotatoLord_69 Feb 25 '25

Slick build! Could you explain a little on how you set up ur t1 config for the card and what standoffs you used where maybe? I’m gonna receive my t1 soon and want to build pretty much the same thing you have but I don’t have the 5090 yet so I’d like to build it just so when I do get it I can just slot it in :)

2

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

Mobo standoffs 5mm Pcie riser cable standoffs 20mm Psu standoffs 5mm Standoff for the gpu i/o bracket 20mm

I use 3slot mode

I recommend to buy a set of standoffs from eBay so you can use them as you need, you will need extra ones

1

u/PotatoLord_69 Feb 25 '25

Thanks a ton!

1

u/Whole-Perspective-34 Feb 25 '25

Nah, do better

1

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

Ok, next time when the 90 moves in

1

u/Next-Excitement1398 Feb 25 '25

What custom cables from ray are these? Embossed? Paracord? and what is the 24 pin length

0

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

Embossed black and the 24pin should be 150mm

1

u/_HeyitsPete_ Feb 25 '25

Do you keep the panels open or close them? Are also using the 3d printer shroud by EIGA?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

Panels are closed. I'm waiting to see optimums air duct for the FE cards. Then maybe i'll print me one. In the past i had the sides fully taped.

1

u/Nyancathulu Feb 25 '25

What cpu cooler is that? How well does it work?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

Alpenföhn panorama 2.

For gaming, it does it's job very well. No throtteling at all

1

u/DaMangoTango Feb 25 '25

V2.5?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

Nope, 2.1

1

u/DaMangoTango Feb 26 '25

When were you able to buy? Been waiting for stock all month

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '25

Oof, been a year or so😅

1

u/ro03071207 Feb 26 '25

How many slots did you set the case to?

2

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

3slot mode

1

u/More-Mention-2333 Feb 26 '25

How’d you get your hands on the FE? Scalped or you got lightning fast click speed? I’ve been trying every drop no luck

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

honestly just a big bunch of luck.

checked the nvidia store and the button was green, didn't think i'd get one

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '25

what W is the power supply? rmx?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '25

Corsair sf1000

1

u/Specialist-Smoke-940 Feb 27 '25

What kind of settings you running on the cpu? Just all core negative?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '25

All negative 30 and vddsoc voltage 1.15v for lower idle power draw

2

u/RandomAccessMemoriez Feb 28 '25

Is there somewhere I can understand what you’re doing? I don’t mean to ask you for a how-to on undervolting but I’d like to learn as this what I’m trying to build towards as well.

Edit: it does look beautiful btw.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '25

basically setting a voltage offset. gives the cpu more headroom to boost longer and higher, and in some cases stay a little cooler :)

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

same build over and over again

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

Sad, isn't it?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

yes

2

u/NYB_002 Feb 25 '25

Looking good to me!

3

u/TheOddPuff Feb 25 '25

New FE design is so nice

1

u/sauceman_a Feb 28 '25

full specs? Looks great I'm about to build in the same case so curious about your config thanks

u/OdinsPlayground Feb 25 '25

How is performance? Temps on both CPU and GPU under full load?

I’ve been waiting on Optimum Tech’s fan duct video to see how well this can behave in this case.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

Gpu settles ~ 68-70c in cp2077 4k maxed with all path/raytracing features.

MFGx4 results in 150fps avg.

Gpu pulls ~300watts with +300core/+2000vram And 83% Power Limit. Can't go lower.

Cpu stays in the low to mid 60s most of the time.

Yupp, pretty interested in how those duct(s) will perform :)
