Building The Ultimate 4K Mini ITX PC - Part 2

[@AxleLotl]

Watching this in 2023... REALLY makes me appreciate the kind of ITX cases we have today, great step by step for the time though, but wow has a lot changed in 7 years! Also great review of the Fractal Terra, can't wait to get one 👌👌

[@jotes5026]

Nice build man

[@DrewPBalls]

you deserve everything, thank you for this video

[@kikayei]

Hi, nice video. That Corsair RM850i psu is redundant for this mini itx build. A 500w or 600w psu would've sufficed. 😉

[@fishscalecocaine]

This video was sponsored by the company who made the PSU. They just sent it to his house, I don't really think he had a choice to choose though.

[@PcCentric]

So this PSU was used for the Skylake build (see channel), which ran dual GPUs. Rather than ask for the same PSU but in a lower wattage, I used the one I had on hand. The 650w version would be a way to save an extra bit of cash. Hope this clears this up! :)

[@rapidnuke9880]

thanks for putting UK links in

[@ivob3967]

Great build, but I would change one thing. You have 2 exhaust fans and 1 intake fan, which is creating negative pressure in the case. The negative pressure will cause a lot of dust build-up. Change the 2 exhaust fans and make them intake, and change the radiator fan into an exhaust fan. This will creative positive pressure, and there will be less dust build-up. Thanks for the video.

[@PcCentric]

+Ivo Broz Interesting thought. Don't forget about fan speeds, and the GPU though, which will draw air into the case too.

[@sighyawn2149]

would be a nice case for a green build with gtx 1070 reference

[@malzzone9374]

Capiroto saiu da jaula!!! ( The monster out of the cage)

[@kiloah92]

Still my favorite mini-ITX case.

[@SteveL11]

Cool stuff

[@traviscleary6129]

I just built a PC for a friend of mine who's finally come over from console to PC... He always played on console because he like's to play on a TV from his lounge with a controller and he didn't want a big chassis... He then later came over and I showed him his options for cases (he picked the 250D) and that he can play PC on a TV with a controller. The specs are; * Corsair Obsidian 250D (Same as in the video) * EVGA Z170 Stinger * Intel Core i5 6600 * EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC Gaming * Corsair Hydro Series H80i v2 Liquid CPU Cooler * 16GB G.Skill Trident DDR4 @ 3200Mghz * 240GB Kingston HyperX Savage SSD * 2TB Wester Digital Black * Corsair RM550x Modular 80 Gold Plus PSU and a Wireless Xbox One Elite Controller! :D +1 to the Master Race! ^_^

1. The fan grill is not made to avoid cables entering the fan, it's made to prevent turbulence, reducing fan noise. 2. A radiator at the air intake is stupid, hot air is coming in, should be placed as exhaust.

[@massimookissed1023]

Would love to see a full 10" diameter fan at the front...

[@setitfree78]

Curious what is the music you used? Cool beats :)

[@GearsofWarNiceDay]

Where did you put the 140mm fan on which you installed the fan grill? This is the only part I dont get...

[@UkzFlipside]

will the msi gtx 1070 fit in this case

[@lachiu1]

Remove the cover? You whot? It slips off if you place the cpu in.

[@lachiu1]

***** If I were you I wouldn't even try to remove that black cover since it will pop off if you put the cpu in just because you can damage the pins while removing the black piece.

[@appio4345]

Jono WANG When the cover pops off it gives you a really satisfying feeling 😁

[@martinhristovboi729]

Got me subbed !

[@jellis3657]

nice one

[@airsoft736]

Nice build! Imagine trying to do this build in the Fractal Node 202, that would painful and probably impossible!

[@christophermoore1730]

No it's actually not too bad building in a node 202 had to help a friend it's not hard it's pretty simple just have to plan it out like he did for the gfx card in this vid

[@SebastianHernandez-wv1ys]

Hi can you tell me what is the maximum temperature in this pc?

[@איליהקופטש]

how much does it cost in total?

[@MichaelBlanchard123]

So does that mean that the Vengeance LED ram can be used with other Z-170 chipset mobo's like Maximus 8 Hero?

[@carrs01]

Excellent video. Are you able to give a rough total build cost (UK£)? Also is wifi capability built in on this build or is it an extra peripheral? Excuse these novice questions.

[@PcCentric]

Thanks! Wifi is on the motherboard - attach the included antennae. Total cost was around the £1600 mark I believe, including Windows, but without peripherals.

[@jayd2535]

Can you review the Asus MG248Q

[@Generic3]

are you actually sponsered by like corsair or something? (like the use of the corsiar logo in the intro, awesome if so)

[@PcCentric]

Corsair do indeed sponsor the channel. It makes planning these projects much easier!

[@zeus1117]

nice. The VGA is an overkill though :) Do you know the Fractal Node 304 case? It is a bit similar, why did you chose this one ?

[@PcCentric]

So I was originally after the Corsair 380T, but Corsair were unable to source one. I've been meaning to try the 250D for a while though, hence why it's here. Will check out the Fractal for sure though!

[@arisaffandy]

+PC Centric Check this out too. Silverstone RVZ02. Nice case. Perfect for living room gaming.

[@zeus1117]

Aris Affandy As far as i know that silverstone case is not only mITX, but it cant even house full size components, like ATX PSU or full size GPU. Without those, you are making some sacrifices..mainly in noise and temperatures...I have built one PC in a Fractal Node 202, which is kind of similar, but you only get it to work with a small PSU -> smaller and louder fans, generally hotter and louder, and a small form factor card: i had the gtx 970 mini. The performance was like 90% of the normal sized one, but man it was loud and warm like hell. Never again. This case, and some similar ones offer a small footprint while letting you use full size of those 2 components. Even decent tower cooler if you wish. mITX boards are as great as the big ones, some ports less but that is about it. I myself have the one from this video. Excellent.

[@93SupaFly]

nah, try your hand on Thermaltake Core V1, beats all the cube itx case on market.

[@93SupaFly]

thats why you must buy SFX-L psu from Silverstone which use traditonal atx fan, not SFX, and a itx size gpu or R9 nano? lol. Going small is expensive but thats the main point of going small. Small yet powerful.

[@jjjj8691]

why do you plug hdmi cable right to the gpu but not the motherboard?

[@Crucial54321]

GPU = graphicsMotherboard = Standard

[@jjjj8691]

Crucial5432 nope my point is that there is a difference in bandwidth strangely quite

[@xXRapToRiXxGamer]

It is recommended to use a blower-style Fan cooled graphics card in such a small case.

[@sravans5100]

I heard you shouldnt use aftermarket cards in mini itx cases is it true in this case?

[@turke6663]

If you have a smaller more restricted case, the a reference GPU will probably be better as it will exhaust all its hotair out the case right away. This case is large enough that isn't not much a problem

[@arsenalozil]

first time building a pc I thought I fried motherboard. only to notice 3 hours later my cpu was plugged in.

[@arsenalozil]

wasn't

[@adamharris2325]

first time I did one I was stressing for an entire day and night I broke something I was reading all these things online about shorting motherboards or the other board I had used dodgy capaciter I forgot to flick the power switch on psu...

[@93SupaFly]

wtf haha

[@usikufs8218]

Rage Games lmao that would suck

[@txswedishwikinggaming3760]

how much would this pc cost

[@CrazingPC]

I noticed that your 1080 Strix exceeds the max GPU clearance that Corsair states on their website. I'm wondering if my FTW3 1080 Ti will be just as lucky lol.

[@PcCentric]

+Crazing™ yeah it went in but not out. Not recommended. The reference 980 I have in there now is a much better fit

[@austinherrera3212]

Nice I got the same case sadly i broke one of hard drive treys

[@riotexpeditionz5503]

Does anyone suggest where I can buy a package that contains everything I need to build a PC. I am new to PCs

[@toast4443]

www.pcpartpicker.com Is a similar concept.

[@riotexpeditionz5503]

+A fabulous space gentleman? Ok thank you a lot.

[@Labrinos14]

May i ask u something? I had an msi motherboard before and msi has this update center that checks all things that need to be updated...so i dont have to download every single software from msi page...Now though i updated my pc to an 6600K with an asus pro gaming ATX ( not the mini one that u have) and i have to download manually all the updates...Does Asus have similar update center like msi?

[@brandonkinsman1270]

I can't seem to get 4K quality from Your Video. I think there is something wrong. :D

[@PcCentric]

Looking to upgrade to a 4K 5D Mark IV soon

[@ridewithfaysal1]

I wish I had one

[@dirtyhaz9517]

there is NO pump header on this board!!! can I use a fan header for the pump???

[@PcCentric]

+Dirty Ari Yep

[@dirtyhaz9517]

Cheers, thank you :)

[@havoc3258]

isnt this actually micro atx and not mini itx? I mean it even features a full sized psu

[@gazoozki8883]

I want do do this when I get my new 4k TV. Just sit on my bed playing games lel

[@PcCentric]

Which Games? =D

[@gazoozki8883]

PC Centric Well not FPS games obviously can't because of controller but ill play some chill out games like fallout 4, rocket league and gta 5. Also, been watching all of your PC builds and buyers guide as before I do this kind of build I want to make a proper one for actual gaming and working.

[@ANNIALLATOR]

Have you any ideas on how to fix the major stuttering issues with Just Cause 3 and a GTX 970?

[@gazoozki8883]

+ANNIALLATOR uninstall the game. Usually works for me.

[@ANNIALLATOR]

All 52 Gbs. Effort! XD

[@techadam129]

NO dont remove the cover from the processor, it wil snap off when you install the procesor!!!

[@runuphall6504]

can you do a laptop build?

[@zakazakaboy344]

omgggg 😂😂😂

[@arisaffandy]

Mwahahaha!

[@THEG12EG]

850w PSU is a bit overkill.. if your recycling from a old build fair enough

[@LucidStrike]

I was gonna ask why you assume the CPU would be Intel, but, yeah, this is 4k and Ryzen isn't here yet.

[@Funkadelic-Freak]

Asus Z170I Pro Gaming comes with 8 pin not 4 pin.

[@Cmon3play]

I dislike this because u chose an aftermarket gpu not a blower style gpu because it will easily overheat ur other components if u chose the aftermarker gpu

[@alianildinler]

dont install ram before cpu

[@purgeddeadgames]

You like corsair don't you? XD

[@julienquinlivan1960]

where's the optical drive? without it, it wouldn't be called a PC lol

[@zackhynes1823]

Not really, Optical Drives aren't really important anymore since everything is going digital

[@julienquinlivan1960]

what & which is going digital?

[@CALVlNXD]

How did you not understand that. DISKS are going digital and there isn't a need for an optical drive anymore. what does an optical drive with a computer

[@therealist2000]

Mini!? Cases like that are big enough to be micro atx, pfft

[@rubi8104]

sponsor by corsair LOL

[@ricardofernandes9167]

horrible cable manegement, sloppy building
