the DIY ape line is aready a small standard in china and has around 10 motherboards and similar numbers of supported cases from various manufacturers, so hopefully this trend picks up and goes global

[@SteltekOne]

9:22 To avoid this, use "movflags=frag_keyframe+empty_moov" in the Custom Muxer settings, or use a format this is not MP4 or MOV (like MKV). MP4/MOV expect what is called a "MOOV atom" in the file, which contains all the metadata about the video, and the standard is to put it at the end of the file. If your recording gets interrupted somehow, that MOOV atom doesn't get written, causing most players and video editing software to have a difficult time opening it. (If you ever run into this issue and really need to recover the recording, try producing another one with the exact same settings, which can then be used by software like "untrunc" to build the MOOV atom for the broken file.) Using the specified muxer settings, ffmpeg (and thus OBS) will generate "fragmented" files, which means it will regularly store the metadata along with the fragments it is writing. (Though be warned that some software doesn't want to deal with fragmented files, but you can always re-mux them if needed and at least won't lose the entire recording on a crash.)

bro, thank you for this comment. No one can explains better. I'll try to recover my old broken videos.

That mobo PCB layout makes heaps of sense. It'd also let them do 5v/3.3v power conversion. You could potentially have an insanely compact even higher powered flex ATX 12VO PSU as a result. With m.2 expansion being such an important thing now, this form factor makes heaps of sense.

[@yumri4]

The formfactor and component placement make sense the issue is flex ATX PSUs aren't common and really to get one you probably have to print you own PCB. When you get into printing you own PCB you have gotten into company secrets for how intel or AMD connect to the motherboard electrically. Now if you had that as a open thing you would have many people just printing their own motherboard instead of having to make it fit the shape a motherboard manufacture made. Would it be more expensive to do it that way? Maybe depends on the design they use but for most it is normally done for size requirements are different from the standard.

Those Neutrik powerCON connectors are fantastic, but they have selected the wrong ones for this application. the gray panel-mount connector on the PC is supposed to be an ‘outlet’, usually as mains passthrough on a piece of equipment, and gray cable-mount connector which mates with it is expected to be used on the Source side of any cable it’s fitted to. This cable should be destroyed immediately; while it will work perfectly safely with this PC, if it ends up in your warehouse and someone grabs it not knowing how wrong it is, they could plug it into any lights/equipment using correctly configured powerCON connectors and end up with the domestic plug end live at mains voltage. This is what electricians call a widow maker.

Making YTX an official unofficial standard would make so much sense, though that spot has a tendency to become the PSU spot in lots of cases. Possibly could be really good for a YTX12VO standard, since the motherboard needs do PSU duty anyway.

[@Kisai_Yuki]

Aside (as other comments have mentioned) for the power connector being dangerous for being the wrong use case, I think overall this is a nice looking system that borrows a bit of that Apple aesthetic/engineering of using the chassis to sink heat. However, the exposed area/fans creates a danger situation where someone (like Linus) sticks their finger in it, or something accidently hits the fan and shatters it (I've had that happen when a case fan was exposed.) I probably would have at least put a magnetic fan filter at least over the fans, or design one with magnetic posts (since aluminum isn't magnetic.) It is overall neat to look at though.

This motherboard is not even expensive in mainland China, it's a H610 chip. The design is base on cutting down the space under the first pcie slot on a convensional mATX motherboard to save cost, since your gpu will cover it anyway, and use the extra pcie link for m.2 on the side. The power delivery isn't very good (another spot to save cost) so the heatsink on the mos is actually essiential (unlike those on the highend motherboard). It price like a mATX board which cost 666 Chinese Yuan at launch (about $95) and you literally could buy multiple itx boards for that price. Sadly, although the screw hole is compatiable with any mATX cases, there are only few cases support the back-plugging system, the idea didn't really take off. Personally I really like the design philosophy behind it and I hope LTT's video will give this form factor a second change.

the editor on this video did such a good job. Loved the tech theorie and "it was not fine" edits

[@gon_rasoilo3867]

2:30 Thats THE wrong version of THE powercon connector that is a output powercon. THE correct one should be blue for input power

[@KILLERMATYCZ]

It works, and they used it in reverse for white PC female connector. At least my guess and I think Im 100% correct as it is whole white/silver

[@Erdie5]

They could maintain a list of suitable GPUs and sell those different U-shaped side panels to accommodate the shrouds. But let's face it, you get to that level of specifics and your market size goes to near zero. But it's such an awesome design!

power cord plug is for Australia and New Zealand outlets. 240v 50hz

audio desync from like 5:00 onward?

[@_lonath_]

Omg, just realised how out of sync the audio was

[@The-Weekend-Warrior]

Sound is completely off after a while... 6:21 Can't watch, so triggering.

[@McTroyd]

If this were how small form factor PCs were usually built, I would have been a fanboy for decades now. Nicely done.

[@foxpopuli6982]

This is an absolutely beautiful and brilliant product! I would have to insist on having some sort of protective grille across the fans (and perhaps a mesh filter for dust) but beyond that I'm extremely impressed.

[@gae-bulga]

Soo...either your editor needs some rest, or youtube/ google does. This amount of de-sync i've seen last in like... don't know, 2008?

[@demochannel6146]

the audio is out of sync

[@lynx4436]

i can't tell if its jsut me but the video has a very visible audio video out of sync moment starting from 6 mins in

[@Matt_cmd]

Whoever edited the video, made this video infinitely more entertaining. (I wish they were credited in the description)

[@ghostinng274]

I love the editing btw. Good work editors 👍

[@natayaway]

to clarify, the SFF case is called the ForFun02 Pro or FF-02 PRO which is visible near the top at 2:01 . it's a bespoke case to this specific mobo and GPU combo. the heatsinks with the DIY-APE branding are the "model" of this, it's not exactly a custom motherboard but rather developed concurrently with the case designer by maxsun. there's a chinese creator on KZbin that has a full ASMR build guide, it shows them installing all of the aftermarket bits, and it looks like a fun build.

This thing is just gorgeous. Thank you LTT for digging this hard to find great things for the show.

Little mistake made by the creator. The gray power connector used is called a Neutrik Powercon. But the gray one is the output version! Not the input power. It might not be the look he is going for but he needs to use the blue Powercon chassis. Or go for the black Powercon True one.

[@uropig]

9:21 You can record in mkv and have obs remux it automatically aftarwards. Mkv still saves the recording even if the power's cut

[@Mark_Williams.]

2:49 - FYI "the other end" is an Australian plug. China doesn't use that standard.

[@danlivas]

The video desyncs at the 5th chapter for some reason

[@ByteDelight]

This is really inspiring for people who like to tinker with designs. I mean: just grab a board and GPU, and design the smallest and coolest looking 'no-case' around it. This one also looks like it came right out of a scifi movie, which I like a lot! I'd love to spend time on something like this, and maybe I will!

[@bobmarko]

is the audio out of sync for anyone else?

[@traskth]

4:31 A wild matpat appered. Also, 3:56 dont think i missed that, editer Both very well placed

[@GerardKean]

2:56 that plug is AU/NZ too

[@dubi127]

Am i the only one experiencing out of sync audio from 5:22 onwards?
