Let's Build a Budget $660 Lunchbox Gaming PC!! (ft. the Deepcool CH160)

[@hirokjyotiadhikary4533]

This is what i was looking for this case. An ATX PSU with Stock cooler build in CH160 case. Thank you for making this video and keep growing

[@CAPTAINxGNADENLOS]

I have the case. I have installed the "Thermalright AXP90-X53 Full Low Profile ITX" in my case. I can also recommend the "Noctua NH-L9x65" or the "Thermalright AXP90-X47 Full Low Profile" and for a very energy-efficient CPU the "Thermalright AXP90-X36 Low Profile CPU air cooler". I installed this in another Mini-ITX case for my AM4 Ryzen PRO 4750G (65W TPD), it also works great under full load at around 64 C temp. Of course you should adjust the fan curve. I have "Thermalright TF7" thermal paste everywhere, which came with the CPU fans. Works perfectly! What really bothers me about the "DeepCool CH160 mini ITX case" is that the power panel connector is not separable. It doesn't work like that on all motherboards. There is also no HDD LED connector, which bothers me! Because the power connector is a compact block, I can't retrofit an HDD LED connector, it blocks the HDD LED pins. I would have to laboriously convert the power LED/switch connector and get an additional HDD LED connector with an LED that I would then plug into the grid in the case. I want to see if the SSD/HDD is working! Best wishes from Germany

Deepcool makes nice things these days. Their products are affordable and yet reliable

[@emperorarasaka]

Affordable, reliable, and good looking. Deepcool is the poor man's NZXT.

[@akimaralte]

@@emperorarasaka exactly. I like the design of nzxt products and I always use their cabinets and coolers. Since deepcool follows nzxt design trends, I might consider deepcool products in the future

[@shooby02]

Probably my futur case, in white, with the Deepcool Assassin 4S for CPU fan. And with the Air Panel 100 accessory to replace the glass panel cause I'm not a fan of glass panel and I prefer a good airflow.

[@b11nk]

love the white framing around the mobo / central components !! also shout out itx builds

[@lifelightv2]

SHOUTOUT ITX BABIES

[@oscarpersonal1940]

Its beautiful but i suggest change the cpu air cooler and install one exhaust rear. As ur cpu/gpu seems to be toasty side.

[@lifelightv2]

I've installed a rear fan after this video, won't be changing out the cooler though

[@LightZyme]

Watched the whole video thinking of recreating now since I seen you do it on a good budget

[@CuttinInIdaho]

Yeah what is going on with NVME pricing? I got a 4tb last year for considerably less than they are selling for now.

[@lifelightv2]

simply put, it's chip shortages

[@boyroytrill]

@@lifelightv2 Its not a shortage. Flash companies stated that prices got too low in past years, so they are throttling supply to increase prices.

[@lifelightv2]

@@boyroytrill it's more of a combination of both the heavy price drops stemmed from over production of nand chips and now companies are reducing the output bc of the resulting net losses (corporate greed), yes, but there is also a shortage of materials required to produce nand chips for the ssds as reported by many industry officials.

[@user1412-n8v]

NR200p can use atx PSU but need 3D printed bracket

[@mattscomp]

NR200p can also take certain micro atx boards. With a little modding. Likely the Jonsbo Z20 beats both the CH160 and the NR200 cases for flexibility. I'm enjoying the choices available for discounted small form factor PC's. It's great to see. More budget mini itx boards would be welcome though.

[@kindredOW]

It’s so beautiful!!!

[@lifelightv2]

ty beautiful

[@firstcaptainarenoskarlaen7103]

I've just recently finished building with this case. The problem I have is that my plug is giving me clearance issues so I can't close the top. I've pushed the plug into the psu all the way and there's still space

[@lifelightv2]

@@firstcaptainarenoskarlaen7103 I did have this issue, what I did was to screw the top in diagonally starting from the plug - the top is slightly bent but from a distance you can't really see it

[@firstcaptainarenoskarlaen7103]

@@lifelightv2 I was ready to sand down the plug last night but then I realized it was already 1am

[@Hazel-wj9fw]

love this case, sadly deepcool is legit banned in the US, so i cant buy this case anymore.

[@lifelightv2]

@@Hazel-wj9fw yeah it's such unfortunate news, I'm so sorry

[@nasyaramadhana6788]

can you show us, how to undervolt with a520

[@fbi7707]

Hi, cool vid. I have a question. I play dota2 and stream. Would this build be enough? I also do light video editing.

[@lifelightv2]

@@fbi7707 yes this build would be more than enough for all those

[@JT-wk8sy]

How is the cooling/temparature? im quite new to building, and i was thinking to make rear and front fan but i realized the psu i picked is an atx psu, there is no space for the front fan im also using a tower fan for cpu cooler

[@ogxracer2008]

Using atx psu increase temp comparatively with sfx psu?

[@lifelightv2]

@@ogxracer2008 if you use an SFX PSU you can add an intake fan to the front panel, so the answer would be yes

[@cantona9560]

Can it fit 233mm gigabyte b450 mk motherboard?

[@lifelightv2]

no it can't

[@cantona9560]

Hey can i put gigabyte matx motherboard

[@lifelightv2]

no you can't, this case is itx only

[@ThePoojajoshi]

Can we fit M-ATX motherboard with this case? I can see there is some space available to the right and bottom side of ITX motherboard.

[@lifelightv2]

unfortunately no, the space is mostly for routing cables

[@yashlokwani5369]

exactly the video i was looking for, but please for the love of god clean your camera lens

[@lifelightv2]

I did clean it after filming the vid, didn't really check the footage after I was done with the build and I wasn't gonna take the system apart to rebuild it again

[@sagnikguharoy810]

How are the temps

[@lifelightv2]

@@sagnikguharoy810 the GPU reached a max of 76c during stress tests and stays at 70-75c in gaming. the CPU goes from 70-75c during gaming but you'll get way lower if you use an aftermarket cooler in this case

[@nuketurnal2]

i thought that's mini itx case?

[@lifelightv2]

it is!

[@nuketurnal2]

ok cool, thought i heard itx lol sry. il build something similar but with no gpu - 5600g, probly same mobo or a b550

[@agrisimfarming]

You cannot buy it anymore Deepcool just got banned in the USA

[@lightskinanticsjiggin8129]

I think 4060ti would've been best because less watts less heat

[@lifelightv2]

going with a 4060ti over this 3070 means much more money spent (A$200 more) for basically the same performance + less watts and heat that can be achieved through an undervolt anyway so no, it's not the best option in this build

[@xaza5625]

No fans? Like, at all?

[@lifelightv2]

i did add an exhaust fan after the vid, just didn't include one here bc of budget/time constraints

[@playtechcomputers7894]

Top and rear kindly post temp results

[@iR3mmy]

woag

[@tradingn9668]

DDR4 … you lost me

[@Alexander_Bahgheera]

lol did you expect him to run miracles?🤣😂 this system only supports ddr4, but hey who am I to, tell someone off nonchalantly that they “obviously can’t hold my interest”. I truly hope you have a blessed day and as for the creator of this video, kudos to you good sir, I’ve now purchased this similar set up, thank you for the inspiration! 💪🤓 keep up the good work!
