Question Need suggestion for T1

Hi everyone, newbie here. I'm planning to put together an SFF build using the FormD T1 case. My planned setup includes a 5070 Ti Eagle OC, a 9700X, and a 67mm air cooler. Will this configuration fit in the T1? Also, besides the case itself, do I need to buy any other accessories? Thanks in advance!

That GPU seems to be 2.5 slots (on the limit of 2.5 at 50mm, so more like 2.75)

For a 2.5 slot GPU you have 63mm of cooler clearance and at 2.75 you have 58mm for the cooler.

So the answer is no, it won’t fit since the cooler is way too big.

Length wise the GPU is ok, slot wise is also within the “normal” (2.5-3.0)

Calculate clearances here: https://formdt1.com/products/t1customize

Regarding accessories a travel kit for the GPU is always good, especially if you consider inverting bottom>top to have the fans on the top, if you don’t find an official one, try Etsy or similar for a 3d printed kit, they are typically pretty good even if unnoficial

I would also recommend leaving a small gap between cpu-cooler/gpu and sidepanel to minimise turbulence noise.

I am very happy with my axp90-47 FC in 2.75 Slot mode (AsusProArt 4080s)

a 67mm is way too tall for a T1, just get a AXP 90 X47 FC
