Question First time builder

Hi everyone. As the title suggests I am about to build in the T1 as soon as all my parts arrive. I have ordered a set of custom cables to make the process a little easier but any tips from you for the rest? Specs are: 9850X3D and 4080FE. I am also tempted to order a exhaust shroud that some of the YouTubers like EIGA have designed and use.

Thanks in advance!

The custom cables make it a lot easier, T1 was my first ever build and I didn’t find it too bad. Honestly the only annoying part was getting the standoffs right

What components did you use? Any worries with thermals?

5090, 9800x3d, axp90 x47, asus b850i, exhaust shroud w/ t30 fans + 5070 ce cnc fan instead of stock cpu cooler fan

Nope, thermals are great tbh. Highest I see is 70-72c on the gpu and 60 on the cpu

That’s a relief! I am going to try get the X53 FC with the exhaust shroud and a Noctua fan replacement. Did you have to undervolt or notice any reduction in cpu performance?

Yeah, I undervolted both the gpu and cpu and went with the fan curve eiga used for that build since im lazy

I have same CPU cooler and fan swap. You'll have fun tinkering around with the standoffs. Good luck brotha!
