My NEW Music Production PC is TINY and SILENT!

[@SJW82]

People who attack you for what you put in your PC…really need to wobble their heads. 1. Why not..it’s his choice 2. You can get the hardware..Yes it’s expensive, though you can get it 3. Jealousy is a useless emotion…and don’t forget GS are constantly making Immense FREE content for us all So 🤫

Loving the look of the A4-H20 👏🏼

[@SoulRollerFIN]

Genelecs are brilliant. I used to have them on my desk, now using them as the livingroom speakers. Just love them.

[@beggarman23]

Great video, Nick. I was drawn in by the music production side (and I'll add my voice to those asking for a more detailed vid on your setup and workflow) and I came away with the exact motherboard I've been looking for to use in my pc. A big 'yes' on so many levels so thanks again, from here in sunny North Wales 👍👏

[@therealsavagepete]

Great vid again, I like the music production stuff.

[@cybertones942]

I pulled the stickers off both sides of my firecuda name it looked like the were supposed to come off. Then I read they help.

[@jwaye89]

Awesome video fams. Music production system looks like a banger

[@oil3]

Not sure if it's relevant for y'all, but my Dad uses that same Scarlett interface and swears by the Cloudlifter preamp he got to go with it to clean up VO. If you've got one lying around give it a shot!

[@Phalaxis83]

Awesome video fams. Such a clean setup and sit/stand will work great for that setup I reckon.

[@MrFrosty888]

Nice work bro and looking good my homie. Wow the room looks so good from my last visit.

[@swizzler8053]

That new dan case is so cool. I really like the IQUNIX ZX-1. I would have kept the msi gpu.

[@oscarcharliezulu]

That is def an awesome looking case esp in the different colours !

[@alexg6675]

Nick there are cnc acrylic airflow panels for the h1 and noctua fan mod to help with cooling if your ever interested

[@ATAMusic]

Image-Line should put you on the Power User page because your music is so dope.

Hopefully we see you take a look at the updated H1!

[@GearSeekers]

Still waiting for it to arrive

[@michaelw2263]

Very nice small build. Giving me more ideas. I have almost the same setup you had with your H1 in mine and I had the pump actually fail on me! Good call swapping it out early on.

[@GearSeekers]

I enjoy making them :)

[@losingmyfavoritegame8752]

Very clean new build! I didn't know you make your own stuff, I do like the music a lot!

I make all the music. I mention it in every video lol ;)

[@John_the_baptized]

The music this channel produces is magnificent!

[@andrewc20]

really interesting stuff !! i appreciate the tips during the build most !! keen to see how the studio looks like with the upgrade !

[@DonnyDonnMendoza]

FL Studio is pretty dope; I don't understand it but it's dope LOL Also, the build looks hella dope. looks like it'd be a great setup to bring around as well

[@Koursatafsar]

Actually the end result looks nice 🔥

[@rayzupmuzik8611]

I use a fractal design define c matx case, fanless psu, and a thermalright macho rev.c. With the fan settings on silent in the bios it is inaudible. I had a focusrite interface and switched to an rme babyface pro. I get a lot better CPU performance with the rme. The drivers are much better.

[@sweetguy85]

Never thought if you producers music too...that so cool man And yeah FL gang

[@XxViciousxX]

That little PC is awesome I'm more of a big case guy (custom water cooling and all) but I still, appreciate these small builds. My current PC is large and loud a complete opposite to this.

[@agentorange8530]

I have the same Genelec speakers then bought the Genelec 7040A sub to go with it.

[@xXBurgman86Xx]

Dude I hear you on the AIO’s with the pump in the rad, I have an MSI Liquidcore 360 and 6 months it’s dead, I’ve always been Corsair having never had an issue with there AIO’s but thought I’d try something new, Lucky AMD have said the 5800X running at 90-95 won’t damage it cause it was doing 80-90 idle but seemed like everything was good, programs said the pump was running and there was heat transfer in the pipes, turned out the pump was a dud so back to Corsair I went

[@stevekam5243]

Why not go with a AMD APU like 5600G or 5700G ? Or Intel with integrated Graphics ? Should save on space, heat and power in the case.

[@GearSeekers]

I answered all of that in the video. I used parts I have that I'm not going to be using anymore and I need Thunderbolt 4.

[@stevekam5243]

@@GearSeekers Great build. I've been watching your channel for a few weeks now and finally subscribed.

Curious do you think you need a discrete graphics card for your music production?

[@dani25801]

Only with integrated graphics uhd 750 is just fine !

[@Kalcifire]

Which do you like better the Shift XT or the A4-H20?

[@GearSeekers]

Clearly it's the A4-H2O lol

[@jamescjh1215]

Should try using the included extend stand-off for the two slots card. I think the temp may be better this way

[@GearSeekers]

It's not included

[@umyboiblue]

Any plans for a music production channel or twitch stream?

[@KlaireGearSeekers]

Probably not, We've got so much on our plate at the moment haha.

[@umyboiblue]

@@KlaireGearSeekers Totally understandable. I love the channel and the music is great. I often have the videos running in the background so I can vibe to the music while I'm working. I would to see how it's made.

[@mohamedahmed1023]

Glad to know you're running a sub with the Genelecs. Curious how well the sub integrates with the speakers and if you're using any digital room correction.

[@not-a-w33b]

as someone that use rx 6600 xt, the AAA games that i play at 1440p are very playable at 85 - 100 fps.

[@JSG42069]

why couldn't optimum tech get the corner mobo screw in but you could? is that just mobo dependent?

No. I made it fit with every board I've tried

[@JSG42069]

[@GearSeekers]

@@JSG42069 3 screws is enough anyway

[@la009895]

Do you think a 5900x with a 6600xt would be ok thermally in this case? I need a new PC for work (just several VM's, nothing too intense) and thought this case looked good and I don't need it to be overkill. Thanks for the great content!

[@GearSeekers]

I think you'd get away with a 5900X. I've had decent results with 240mm AIOs and the 5900X. The trick is undervolting it a bit. It will drop the temps quite a bit.

[@joethomson8491]

Really nice case I still no sure this one or the h1 v2 yeh its this one 😜🤣👍

Anyone knows if the airport allow A4-H2O computer in hand-carry on the plane? Much appreciated if you can let me know.

[@teawitkrispy7275]

1. I didn't know u needed a gpu for music production, so I learned something. 2. His music pc is better than my everything pc

[@rayzupmuzik8611]

Integrated graphics are fine for music production as long as you have enough ram.

[@CB-iu8yf]

Which cooler fan is used? Thanks

[@oscarcharliezulu]

Do you have a different pc for each use case? Like personal, gaming, editing, music?

[@GearSeekers]

Yes.

[@Falcon561]

Hey Nick! I used this case to build both my kids some seriously Roblox machines! Keep up the good work and hopefully the lurkers will sub! I'm looking forward to your next super budget build. Something super basic to allow roblox/abc mouse type "gaming" to introduce kids to pc gaming with actual parental controls over the machines.

[@sparkplugbarrens]

Sorry, what kind of RAM do you recommend for music production again?

[@jaywalker.]

Hey Nick, love the music. Question: what do you find works best for mastering your projects?

[@aro7975]

I see you got the github midi script for your komplete kontrol for FL studio. It's good isn't it 😁. I use the s49 mk2. Edit: And then you explained the whole thing lol, I spoke too soon 😂.

[@BlockCylinder]

Is there any such thing as a silent (or quiet) SFF (or compact) gaming PC? Perhaps with a 4090 or 4080? I'm trying to pick the perfect case.

[@Alp577]

It’s possible. My Ncase M1 with 4090 is very silent with EK 240mm 13700k on a conservative fan profile. Some compromise on thermal (74C GPU and 80C CPU while editing or gaming), but it’s almost dead silent.

[@nickv477]

Great video! You should start a separate channel for your music production vids.

[@GearSeekers]

Nah. I have too much on my plate already lol

[@jwkuo]

I've actually been using the Z590i and 11600k for music production and gaming for a while now too! I've been dual booting windows and MacOS and been getting the best of both worlds. Love the thunderbolt ports. However, I lucked out on an irresistible deal on a 5950x (dude upgraded to alder lake) so I'm back on my Asrock X570 itx/tb3... yup you guessed it also hackintoshed and using that tb3 port! Anyway, great vid, always love your content!

[@GabrielKLKN]

What gpu are you using with this dual boot setup you have? I heard macOS doesn't play well with Nvidia

[@jwkuo]

@@GabrielKLKN That's correct, since Apple switched to AMD, newer nvidia cards are not supported. I'm using a 5600xt. BigSur and Monterey can also make use of the 6800 through 6900xt if you can find those

[@GabrielKLKN]

@@jwkuo sweet, thanks!

[@CB-iu8yf]

How about fans noise bro ?

[@jwkuo]

@@CB-iu8yf Can be a problem if you don’t get the right components! But if you get the right case and cooling and set up a custom fan curve, it’s absolutely fine. To my ear, it’s no more noticeable than the fans ramping up on my older intel macs. Haven’t tried m1 yet though, so can’t compare it to that.

HI Would the Msi Rtx Gaming Trio X 3080 fit in that case , thanks ?????
