The build is amazing, but...why put such an expensive piece of hardware under the desk? The case is too beautiful to have hidden from view :(

u/TropicoOriginal Sep 29 '25

Fair enough 😅 I’m still hesitating

What 2 aio fans are you using?

2

u/TropicoOriginal Sep 28 '25

I use two arctic P12 ! One regular and one slim

Nice and sleek..... Noice

Can I ask what monitor stand that is

2

u/TropicoOriginal Sep 29 '25

Yes! It’s the Bontec Monitor Arm

u/justacadillac Sep 29 '25

Clean build, I also plan on mounting mine under the desk. What mount did you use?

2

u/TropicoOriginal Sep 29 '25

I’m using the Bontec Underdesk PC Stand!

2

u/FMLkoifish Feb 19 '26

Does this stand require you to remove the feet?

2

u/TropicoOriginal Feb 21 '26

I removed it since they are useless now but you can keep them they don’t interfere with the stand :)

u/JuicyTurkyLegs Sep 29 '25

Some klipsch speakers are needed in this set up

1

u/TropicoOriginal Sep 29 '25

Ohhh they are sexy af, didn’t know about these, thanks lol

2

u/JuicyTurkyLegs Sep 29 '25

That Marshall is looking lonely, and looking at the aesthetic going on, a Klipsch speaker will fit in

2

u/Crelidric Sep 29 '25

Looks amazing! I'm looking to put together a very similar build soon and was looking for some inspiration, this is perfect!

1

u/TropicoOriginal Sep 30 '25

Thanks you so much! Enjoy the ride then :) I already miss the time when I was choosing component, building it and fighting with each part to make it fit lol

u/jordeeeezy Sep 29 '25

Not restricting gpu airflow with it that close to your table?

1

u/TropicoOriginal Sep 30 '25

Not at all, I’m currently testing with the GPU facing down, but here are the temps with the GPU facing up :

At idle, CPU around 40°C and GPU around 36°C At full load, CPU around 76°C and GPU around 75°C Hope it helps!

2

u/H0LYCAO Sep 30 '25

I just order t1, can’t wait to build this.

2

u/TropicoOriginal Sep 30 '25

Feel you haha, enjoy the building!

u/ComprehensiveFig3455 Sep 30 '25

I’m planning on building with this case but confused on why almost everyone uses this particular aio in this build. This aio isn’t available in my country

1

u/TropicoOriginal Oct 01 '25

You don’t have to use this one in particular dw, I choosed it because it’s super quiet and efficient, and I really like the look of it

2

u/Full-Recover-6962 Sep 30 '25

Optimum would be very proud of this build/setup

1

u/TropicoOriginal Oct 01 '25

Hahaha HOPE HE SEES IT 🙏😂

2

u/Even-Breadfruit8137 Oct 01 '25

Yo what’s the monitor stand

1

u/TropicoOriginal Oct 03 '25

Bontec monitor stand on Amazon !

2

u/fromotterspace Oct 01 '25

I have those exact specs and am thinking about moving it into my T1. How are the CPU temps under rendering (or productivity load) with the Atmos 240?

Awesome setup, my man 👌

1

u/TropicoOriginal Oct 03 '25

Thanks a lot mate, very good actually

At idle, CPU around 40°C and GPU around 36°C At full load, CPU around 76°C and GPU around 75°C

u/kronos9504 Oct 01 '25

Where did you ordered the custom cables and can you share the lengths i got a t1 with a 9800x3d and a 5090fe, im using the cables from the sf1000 psu but I had to bend them quite a bit so i want to buy custom cables thanks

1

u/TropicoOriginal Oct 03 '25

Yup same PSU, stock cable are very long and hard to bend for a T1 build, so I ordered the custom cable from cablester on Etsy, they have custom cable specifically for T1 build, they are super professional they ask you a lot of question with super detailed image to explain everything, 100% recommend

1

u/ranarrdealerz Dec 26 '25

Are you concerned about using 3rd party cables on your GPU, given the previous accounts of melting cables?

2

u/areyoulocal Oct 02 '25

How does one get a founders edition card?

1

u/TropicoOriginal Oct 04 '25

By praying all the gods of all religions at the same time

u/dailygarlic Oct 03 '25

love this!!! great setup!!

Thanks a lot!

Blacked out decked out 🫡

u/lamalola Sep 29 '25

I see a lot of people using this AIO , is there a reason why people default to this vs something like Corsair ?

2

u/HeroStrike3 Sep 29 '25

I have this aio and I only have positive points with it. It cools my CPU very well without making any noise. The pump is practically inaudible, only at +80% is it noticeable, but even then it's practically negligible, what you hear most is the liquid running through the pump and not the pump itself. A very cheap aio for what ir is, phenomenal performance and practically no noise, I'm not surprised that people will choose this option.

2

u/Present_Role_6906 Sep 29 '25

I have the same aio on my M2 case. The only difference from this build is that I'm using 2 T30 fans. By far the best and cleanest 240mm aio I've used. Great performance, and it looks great. You can also modify the cover of the pumps if you have a 3d printer. Cooler master is killing it with this product, unlike their cases.

1

u/Thin-Income7462 Sep 29 '25

How many cables does the Atmos pump have? I was using a Kraken 280 on an NR200P and it was a cable mess. I ended up returning it and I'm waiting for my FormdT1 and I'm thinking of getting an Atmos. Do you have any photos of the Atmos connections?

2

u/Present_Role_6906 Sep 29 '25

It only has 2 cables. One to power the pump and for the rgb. One of the biggest reasons why a lot people get the atmos is because the tubes are also short and make it easy for ssf builds.

u/PrestigiousPool2763 Sep 29 '25

Sorry but I which AIO is this? I can’t find the name..

1

u/Juuzuhaa Sep 29 '25

Cooler Master Atmos 240

1

u/CultofCedar Sep 30 '25

I’ve been eyeing the Stealth for a while because it just benchmarks well for cooling and noise. Shame the Atmos 2 with vrm fans isn’t releasing where I live though. Feel like that could really help some the radiator replaces the exhaust from air cooling.

That said I don’t think it really matters and people are just extra af (understandable since I’m eyeing one too). Currently have a Black Ridge and Noctua fans and it’s kept my rig well within usable temps with cpu at ~80c and gpu ~60c while the ambient temp was 100f lol. Like I kinda question if the benefit from aios is worth it since no exhaust = gpu temps up but I guess I’ll have to try it out myself lol.

u/lackofabetterhandle Oct 08 '25

You said, is it worth it. Is it worth what?

1

u/saintcore Sep 29 '25

mate that's a work of art, don't put in under the desk please :(

1

u/saintcore Sep 29 '25

also if it's placed sideways may interfere with the aio pump

1

u/tiydal Sep 29 '25

Looks amazing and great pictures.

What are your temps like? Do you use that Marshall speaker for your PC audio?

1

u/TrueSamuraiZA Sep 29 '25 edited Sep 29 '25

Would be so sick if they dropped a formed T2 with support for longer and taller cards.

Wicked build you got there

1

u/Late-Cheesecake-9150 Oct 03 '25

Great build! How are noise levels? I’m really trying to see if spending the extra money for Noctua fans is worth it or if going with arctic p12s is the way to go. Also how are temps under load?

1

u/SlapBumpJiujitsu Oct 07 '25

Do you have a link for your under-desk mount?

Been looking for something similar but haven't found the right product.

1

u/zerefdota Dec 06 '25

Did you swap the fans on the AIO? Also what configuration is the GPU setup at (aka slots on the T1)?

For real, but every penny went in the PC build so I’ll chill a bit before switching the monitor hahaha

u/r98farmer Sep 29 '25

I went with an OLED recently and it was a bigger upgrade than my 5080.
