Unbeatable 16-core + RTX 3090 Ncase M1 Build!

[@CrashForce]

Your videos make me want to build a brand new PC even though I put one together less than a year ago. There’s just something so cool about these SFF builds.

[@VigiHunter]

I am swapping from a Corsair 460x Case to the M1. Didn't cost me too much. Around 250€ (mostly New case), I Sold all old parts on eBay :D It will be so much smaller and quieter!

[@michaelarthur8417]

I couldn't resist. Building almost this exact PC except with a 3080 and a custom loop with the Iceman cooler. Wallet hurts but it'll be worth it!

[@sigma_z]

Did I miss the reason why you didn't put a 3090 FE into the M1?

[@CrashForce]

Build a custom PC they said... it will cost less than a prebuild they said... LOL

[@CrashForce]

@@VigiHunter "didn't cost me too much" "sold all old parts on ebay" You're giving me too many ideas I don't need ;)

[@OroborOSX11]

[@odinsplaygrounds]

Love these follow up videos taking on specific SFF cases with the new cards. Looking forward to the T1 build!

[@werdfeefs7027]

I completely agree, but if you're listening, Ali, there are two things that I would kill for, even if just as an excel sheet. The first is the thermal performance of the various 3080s in the classic SFF all-star hits (especially the Node 202 and Dr zaber Sentry, please!) And second, please, *please* take a pair of calipers and measure every card that gets in your hot little hands, deshrouded. I've talked to every GPU company in my country, and the only one that was willing to measure and give me the dimensions of the heatsink and PCB without shroud or fans was PNY. I have a mod that I'm trying to accomplish, and the dimensions available determine what companies card I'm able to buy, and half of them make it feel like they don't want me to even consider their card...

[@Cwm02]

I can't wait for that either!

[@Ptpioneer]

We all cant wait for the T1 build with the 2 slot psu standoffs. FormD needs to priority ship this new case pronto!

[@naamah-dh]

Really nice video, as always, you share ideas and dreams. Do you know if the FE modèle fit in this case ?

[@odinsplaygrounds]

Loïc Desrumaux yes both 3080 and 3090 FE fits in T1. But 3090 is likely to choke on air. Similar problems as the 3080 FE in Ghost S1.

[@moltenbullet]

[@DaveGme]

I’m so glad I went with the M1 for my build. Still seems like the smallest no-comprise case there is.

[@dunktheball]

still a compromise, though, because I wanted to use a fuma 2 cpu cooler and people said it's too big.

[@Gungarr]

@@dunktheball he was talking about performance compromises

[@seth4321]

Terrific job. I didn't even think this was possible. I had mostly ruled out the idea of a 3090 working in this case. Having that much power in an ITX build? So cool.

[@peterthesage8750]

I would like to see a build like this in the cooler master nr200

[@sovic20]

Yep, same here. Optimum Tech, please do more videos with NR200(p), since the case is distributed worldwide, it will be more helpful to more people rather than builds with the M1 (even though the M1 is the best on the market for sure)

[@cagencagen473]

@@sovic20 it's basically the same case but slightly bigger and room for 2 top fans.. You can do basically the same layout and temps will be better

[@jolness1]

It is just a bigger ncase layout. I don't think people will be doing a 3500 build in an nr200 either...

[@sovic20]

That's true but my point is is that it's not easy to get the M1 (covid, availability, and for some people price + shipping + customs). Hence I think builds in NR200 could be more popular and more useful since it's easier to get

[@Athasin]

sovic Actually it’s easier to get an M1 than a N200 considering the N200 is sold out everywhere for it’s real price and only available for it’s ridiculous price. Amazon is set to get a batch of N200s in the next few days but those might sell out right a way also. Honestly out of all the SFF cases (Ghost S1, Dancase, Sentry 2.0, etc.) the M1 is the most readily available and covid isnt killing their country shipping list anymore.

I feel like "small form factor" matx builds are underrated. Going matx seems to give you some benefits like more ram slots, lower cost, more vrms, larger socket support/threadripper support, and less installation complications. I kinda wish enthusiast case brands would try to build more matx chassis.

[@ayuchanayuko]

Matx had its rise in popularity during the Shuttle PC Era. Cases in that Era can still be found, like the Sugo 01/02, 901 Firefly, Focus Nemesis, and a bunch of Matx cube cases. I think Thermaltake still makes new Matx cube cases. Some htpc cases also use Matx. But yeah, variations of ITX cases adjusted for Matx would be nice.

[@agrisimfarming]

[@Mr404servererror]

I essentially built this same pc about a year ago, but with an ROG Crosshair VIII Impact and a 2070 instead. Probably my most favorite build ever. Recently upgraded to a 3080ti, and any time the graphics card goes under load in a game, the PC insta shuts down, no blue screen, just off. I thought it was the power supply not giving enough, so I upped it to a 1000w one, but same issue. Swapped out the card to a 3070ti, no change. I am really bummed because I love this form factor, but I think the 3000 series cards are too power hungry for a sf power supply to handle under load.
