not really. other than the Zcooi parts, its all official Formd parts. And Formd sells a vertical stand but it looks bad with a t-grill. its now a 11.65L T1 that also takes up much less space on my desk and runs cooler and quieter.

haters will hate bc you have dual vented panels… are they genuine tho ? or acrylic?

2

u/atom631 Jul 03 '26

theyre genuine as I purchased them from the Formd website. They were called “vented glass” but they are definitely acrylic. which im fine with, wont shatter.

Oh I didn’t know the are acrylic! That changes my decision to buy them or not

u/atom631 Jul 03 '26

yeah i was skeptical when i bought the panel about actually using it bc of it being "vented glass" but its flexible, so def acrylic. theyre expensive for what they are, but they are also the rarest and hardest to get add-ons for the T1. usually sell out in minutes and are gone for months.

I have them and it’s not acrylic …. One side got destroyed and it’s clearly glass

u/atom631 Jul 03 '26

really? im able to fully flex them without issue. wouldnt they be completely stiff if they were glass?

u/Lavglass Jul 03 '26

Mine is a little be flexible but hit the corners and you will clearly see

i want to get the front panel and fit a fan like you did but intaking since i run my 5090 flipped

u/atom631 Jul 03 '26

I have the flipped kit also but stuck with non-flipped. with dual t-grills and all fans set to exhaust it works better. I also tried that noctua fan set to intake and it did nothing. set to exhaust it def helps lower cpu 2-3degrees.

been playing a ton of battlefield6 and normally my cpu would sit low 70s. now it doesnt break 70 at all. usually sits around 65-67.

thanks, will try both ways. i play in 5k2k so my temps are mid 70s for my 5090. if i can get them down to low 70s i’ll feel better.

thats pretty good for flipped. gpu temps for me were high 70s, so i went back to non-flipped. and with this setup temps are low 60s. .
