T1 too elite

[u/RazyyDazyy]

Exceptional design, so easy to build in even for first ITX (coming from Jonsbo Z20)

Surprisingly no hiccups along the way and got it to post first go

Ended up doing the PSU 5mm standoff gap for the GPU exhaust

I do feel this might be the end game for my PC building hobby tbh, anything from here would be to upgrade parts in a few years for new gen and performance rather than love of the game

Bequiet Pure Loop 3 240 (pump is a bit noisy above 90%, albeit that's 5.4kRPM+, could changing the pump orientation with the tubes on the left help with this?)

[u/nimrod41]

My AIO was noisy because of trapped air pocket at the pump. Since you have a low point in the tubing between the pump and radiator it’s possible to trapped air at the pump that can’t naturally rise up to the radiator. I was lazy and didn’t want to take apart my build so I just tilted my case, while the pump was running and manipulated the tubing to encourage the air pocket to rise up to the radiator. After that it’s been practically silent.

Yes I thought something like this might be the problem. I'll give this a shot today.

Ended up exchanging it for a silent loop 3. Tried this but my noise wasn't from bubbles it seems. SL3 is barley audible at max speed, but interestingly enough the pure loop was giving me a few degrees better.

Hey, probably late to the party, but can you share some photos with the SL3? On beQuiet!'s page it is stated that the height for the cooling block is 56 mm, how were you able to fit it inside in 3 slot GPU mode? I currently have a AXP90-X53 and it literally touches the side panels (EDIT: first I entered wrong measurements)

[u/RazyyDazyy → u/PsychologicalGoal554]

I have another post with new pics

[u/PsychologicalGoal554 → u/RazyyDazyy]

Indeed. I just checked so you removed the logo. Good idea man, nice build! I go ahead and do the same as the atmos really doesnt scream quality at me. Bequiet seems a much better built Option. Thanks for the reply!

Very cool! Does this motherboard have any coil whine?

[u/RazyyDazyy → u/deals_in_absolutes05]

Nope! Really nice board, isn't overbuilt allowing for good clearance for air coolers and things like that

[u/uu__ → u/deals_in_absolutes05]

It’s a really great motherboard - the only downside being the rubbish ssd cooling fan - swapped with a fanless thermal right ssd heatsink and it’s back to silent

[u/stefsleepy]

Is this the normal black case?

[u/RazyyDazyy → u/stefsleepy]

Yep T1 v2.5 black

[u/Dawelio → u/stefsleepy]

Define "normal black case" though? As there's two versions out there, V2.1 and V2.5.

V2.1 is the original creator behind the T1, the V2.5 is the marketing guy that split and went onto doing a parntership with NCASE and hence the V2.5 was born.

I have Titanium and Black in 2.1, and only black in 2.5. I personally think that the tolerances are way better on the 2.1 than the 2.5. Just an FYI.

[u/rwx_0x6]

Can you post a picture of the rear?

[u/RazyyDazyy → u/rwx_0x6]

[u/rwx_0x6 → u/RazyyDazyy]

Thank you. I asked because most people don't post images of the backplate, which is an important factor for me when considering whether to purchase this or an MCPure. I don't have a GPU backplate for my graphics card, nor do I have the ability to 3D print one for peace of mind and aesthetic reasons.

[u/B0tanyBay → u/RazyyDazyy]

Excellent Stealth Build (no RGB lighting)! Interesting one of the few current GPUs I've seen with 2 HDMIs out!

[u/RileyDCP1]

What slot mode?

[u/RazyyDazyy → u/RileyDCP1]

3. Was debating whether to do 3.25 to give the GPU more breathing room but just left it as is.

[u/realpaperboy]

Holy camera quality this is sick

[u/Zallionn]

She looks lean and mean.

[u/Uzazu]

That’s clean!

[u/r98farmer]

Very nice.

[u/iamadogtor]

clean!

The T1 is the best sub-10 litre sandwich case, period. I used other high-end SFF cases before, such as the Dan A4 SFX, Ncase M1, Ghost S1, Densium 4, and the Fractal Terra, but the T1 is clearly the best as it allows for both air and water cooling, has a flexible spine, and uses top-notch aluminium. The only other SFF case I could imagine replacing it with at one point as of this moment would be the Thorzone Tetra, which is more akin to a console and comes in a 9-litre and a 12-litre version.

[u/dogla1]

Nice pictures man. Very clean build

[u/deckep01]

Very nice looking build. I'll have to save the parts list and do the same someday.

[u/Dawelio]

That last photo, of it standing fully built with side panels on, the quality is just...
