A Tiny 3.8L PC With A dGPU! Powerful Small Foot-Print Gaming/EMU Build

👍 ETA is really helpful for folks who do not already have shelves full of PC parts or who are not trying to build a $2k+ rig. Really has fiscally sound ideas for devices. "It's really up to you," is deep philosophy.

[@PlasmaSnake369]

A lot of it is the fact that people's expectations for resolutions have just been completely spoiled. The games actually are still impressive at 1080p to someone who isn't intimately familiar with the finer points of video game graphics

[@chromerims]

300W, am4 6 cores, a dedicated gpu in that little footprint . . . good gosh! Well done, ETA! Really enjoy all of your custom builds!

[@ekinteko]

Agreed. It sucks that we can't build a Gaming PC that is more powerful than the new-generation consoles (XsX), at a small console-like size. Not even mentioning the current parts costs. During the late-PS3 era (2011) to the (2015) PS4 era, and then Xbox One X era (2019). It was possible to build a HTPC that would rival the consoles in performance, size, and to some extent cost.

[@careditor]

Yes I like this form factor for a semitruck running car racing games. The extra cool thing was the lighting. I wanna build one fully tricked out with alot of storage for flight sims too. My last big PC build I added Corsair fans but the CPU never ran it hot enough so the fans never turned on. I think this the mini rig for me.

[@allthings3d]

Yep PCIe 4th gen really does help and I noticed you DID buy a PCIe 4th gen extension cable. I personally would have gone with a 4-lane cable and ensure it is secured on both ends since the 16-lane cable impedes airflow and the RX6400 ONLY using 4-lanes. Also, the RX6400 aluminum cowl from this company is poorly design and I found air leaks around the PCB causes hotspots on the system motherboard. I use my go-to Tesa 51016 high temp wrapping tape to seal the sides open between the cowl and the GPU PCB to ensure airflow is directed out the back and front. I also have a problem with the way this card allows hot air to flow across the auxiliary circuitry in the front of the card. I have also found you need to make sure the air is vented out the case otherwise you are defeating who whole purpose in the use of this card. In my own slim mini-ITX version, I chose to modify the cowl so that it only covered the fan to ensure the upper vented case does not impede the fan from spinning. Then I used copper shims to ensure a gap is kept between the upper case panel (with air grating), this allowed it remain in most situation a cool (35c) and no more than 70c when in full use. More important the hot air is directed out of the case instead trapped in the case, keeping the CPU cooler by 5c-10c. The fact you also have power supply in the case, means you have three fans running making this louder than need be. I for one like external power supplies because you can replace the 19VDC with 6-10AH Li-ION power tool batteries for 1-4 hours of operation. With a simple USB based voltage monitoring tool, you can create a simple way to monitor and power down the PC before the battery goes below minimal voltage (about 17VDC). One last thing. You can find adhesive backed silicone sheets that can be cut to ensure the back of some of these cards provide electrical and heat insulation. I have used it on several builds, including the M6/RX6400 foldable - which is pretty cool to stuff a full operational dGPU/CPU Windows based system in your back pocket or cargo pants pocket. Why? As you would say, because I can. :)

[@tubaleviao]

I was able to build the same PC, although the power supply is getting pretty hot and loud. The AMD Radeon RX 6400 specs says that we should not use less than 350W and these power supply are around $100 right now ($60 more expansive than the 300W: which disappeared from Amazon). So I guess I'll just use it until it explodes

[@alksdng97834y]

@Fred Manson on top of that you can argue that 4k is unnecessary entirely, and new top of the line hardware cant run it at high fps anyway. So you end up with an extremely expensive machine that gets the exact same fps as this machine, but at a higher resolution. Not worth it for gaming in my opinion.

[@Void-by3ti]

@@lorenzovanoordt7894 I can probably bet your PC sucks shit lol. Been building PC's for nearly 15 years. Not everyone has the space or lifestyle to fit a full build in. Hell, some people like myself do have their own powerful builds and still choose to have SFF's on the side for living room/office PC's and travel solutions. Not every game needs a 3090ti and i9 to fully enjoy. This tiny beast is cranking out 60+ fps on 1080p on medium-high settings on new AAA's. This is about as good as you're gonna get in a case this small, perfect for those always travelling or on the go, low-powered, powerful build. Comparing it to situations where you don't have to make the compromises you do on a build this small is apples and oranges by every metric.

[@newblor]

​@@alksdng97834y I don't disagree entirely. For anyone used to 1080p it's great. But personally once I went 4k I couldn't go back. 60hz / 60fps is acceptable and maybe 1440p at a push, but 1080p just isn't enough for me anymore.

[@qx1381]

The case has a version 2 now that uses pico module to power it with external brick. This allows an LP card like A2000 to sit in perfectly without the use of riser cable, and it's 2x as fast as this setup yet maintaining it's 3.8L form factor.

[@oldmand3383]

I bought the xfx 6400 card based on your video and commentary and paired with the HP Pavilion desktop with the Ryzen 5700G i know the 6400 is being hindered with the gen 3 pcie slot but using only a 180 watt power supply and i will say i have not been disappointed. So thank you ETA Prime your vids are entertaining and informative

[@btango7029]

Just a heads up for folks wanting to try a build like this - the CPU cooler is actually too tall for this to work with the case side panel closed. It pushes the GPU against the CPU fan in a way that causes the screws on the back of the GPU to impede the CPU fan spin. Conceptually, it still works but you need a lower profile cooler like the Noctua NH-L9a for the case to close.

[@alexleeds882]

Yup , just found this out the hard way, I ordered the same 47mm cooler thinking it would be fine and its impossible to get the GPU mounted up without it hitting the fan. I just ordered the noctua cooler instead

I bought a Thermalright 47mm low-profile cooler, and my RX 6400 does not clear the fan. I have no idea how you did it. I'll have to go with the Noctua 37mm cooler. Noticed the cooler and the riser cable models were not listed. I went with the 50mm riser cable "Linkup" same brand, which I am convinced is shorter than the one in the video. that silly thing was $92 CDN. not cheap. I did everything the same but I have the 5700g and 50mm riser cable... I really enjoy your content!

[@SunSpear84]

I did a build with this exact setup and I would recommend a 36mm cooler if you have a GPU. My Pulse 6400 would rest on the bottom of the cooler and kinda was at a bad angle and would slightly bend when I put the side panel on . For the Riser I was able to get a 5cm to barely reach. The A09 case I would recommend a modular PSU or it’s kind of a nightmare trying to tuck all the cables so they don’t get in the way. Otherwise it’s a good build.

Man, I bought some components that you had linked in the description. I was super psyched to build this little thing, but when I actually went to put it together I realized there's just no way that these components are going to fit. I probably should have been paying closer attention, because I noticed that the cooler that was in the link was not the same as the one you used in the video. It also seems that the riser cable is not nearly as flexible as the one you have in the video. I had to pause because I was pretty sure I bought all the components from the links you provided, have you removed any links from the description?

[@alexleeds882]

I had similar issue, thought I bought identical parts but ran into an issue with the back of the GPU interfering with the fan blades on the CPU cooler. After checking over the video vs my parts multiple times it looks like his CPU cooler heatsink mounts different to mine (rotated 90 degrees with the curved heatpipes facing the GPU slot. Mine had the curved heatpipe facing the RAM instead, I think if my cooler installed the saw way as in the video I could have slid the fan higher up the cooler and made enough clearence for the fan blade but it wasnt possible for me without using some janky method of securing the CPU fan down. In the end I gave up and just ordered the Noctua cooler, its only a few degrees hotter but give plenty of clearence

For having set up a similar machine, this case is a OVEN for everything inside. The cable management is a nightmare if you don't have a modular flex psu (and even with) ! The electronic front USB panel needs to be definitively removed depending on your mobo. The HDD led is present but doesn't work even when the wire is plugged. The holes on panels are badly designed and don't provide sufficient air flow for cooling components : you need to crank your fans on max to blow sufficient cool air, and by doing so you litterraly transform your pc in a vaccum cleaner. It's interesting to see videos of building a SFF pc, but what people doesn't tell you is how bad and how difficult is the thermal optimization for such cases. By the way, we don't see temperatures of the setup on this video and this for a good reason : it would have made everyone panic !

If any of you were to copy/replicate this build i would sugggest you go with the saphire pulse version of the rx 6400, as it has a larger heatsink.

That's the power supply that I'm looking for!! My lenovo is in under 260 watts range...

[@virgiliohementera6357]

can you tell me how loud the fans are under load of gaming? i want to try something like this for valorant and apex

[@calmingvoice8646]

Nice to see a small case that is cheap.

[@arky9002]

Hey ETA, please add cod warzone/apex to your benchmark suite

[@onewayhollywood]

Did you ever consider using A09P case instead? It is 4.2L, same height and width, just about 19mm longer. Basically just as compact but you get slightly more room to work with.

[@mitlanderson]

Velka 3 or K39 are better, 3.9L and 4.2L and can fit 2-Slot SFF cards like the MSI 3060Ti Aero

How is the noise on the power supply? I vaguely remember you disliking the noise on your R5 3600/gtx 1650 build, which I think was also a flex psu.

Where can we find that awesome PC background?

[@tobiwonkanogy2975]

and to think it could have an a2000 with unlimited budget. potentially a 5800x3d as well would have to point a full size fan at it but it would run .

[@Markymark1408]

You think an a2000 would fit? Be amazing to see
