Thank you.

[@salalkhairaat8156]

i dont understand why people say sff build is hard to do. look at this video, is so easy, only took under 5 minute to build

[@sayphy4428]

Consider additional time for cable customization, and also components selection/hunting that fit in the case.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Actually it took 5 mins to "assemble" and 50 hrs to "build".

What cables?

[@KG_BM]

soon as i saw the cables, i realized who i was watching... man that 24 pin on reddit.... just sublime

Wow, these builds are definitely top quality. Great components , space optimization to the max, great aesthetics, outstanding audio and video editing. Glad to see such care put into a video and build. Keep up the great work!

I fell in love with that 2 inch fan cable

[@thidnascimento]

Thank you so much for the silence. If have had annoying music I would not have stayed. Nice build!

[@slappymcphee]

Another item of note is that COOJ has had a lot of factory problems yet went close to a year before communicating with people that already bought their products. I would say BUYER BEWARE for sure!

[@Helixan]

Incredible! How long did it take you to make those cables and how did you measure each individual wire? Looks very time consuming but an incredible build.

[@Mellysia]

That was amazing. I've been looking for a true SFF case that wouldn't be a chore to work with and I think your video solved that issue for me.

[@showcards]

Wow! Its just pure esthetics !!! So great ! So small !

[@greenprotag]

The fitment is EXCELLENT. Possibly one of the best looking flex ATX-ITX builds I have seen. I have built in the K39 and the MetalfishS3 and this case is gorgeous. My only concern with this case vs others is the PSU placement, but in general it looks functionally great. How are temperatures on the 10600k on the L9i chromax? I think the 12400 works on the L9i 17xx idk about the 13400. I personally have a 5600x on the L9a and it's fine at stock.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thank you. L9i can handle stock 10600k, but I limited power consumption to 95W to keep temp under 80C.

[@bladeoflucatiel]

I have a 5600 on a metalfish S3 with noctua L9a, it reaches 85C at max speed max load. A few degrees less than my 2600x.

[@B77L]

I want to recreate this masterpiece 😳

[@thatguyjaykay]

This is amazing. I love the aesthetic of SFF cases. I want my next build to be SFF, but also want to somehow fit a 4090. Been trying to find that perfect case that's all aluminum, small, and sleek looking, but that can also accommodate a 4090 lol.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thanks. I think formd t1 is what you need.

[@Dominicwylai]

I'm sure you know this already, but there is a decently sized 4090 that comes with an AIO radiator which could work well in an SFF case.

[@cclacss]

You cable manage like factory Mac devices. Very nice

[@davysmith8569]

what a beauty, it will smoke aps5 and series x easily. thankyou for your hard work.

[@xDanielnator]

What was the reason of opening up the Bluetooth/wifi module? Nice build btw.

@@sayphy4428 correct.

Dense af. Overall build is really satisfying to watch, thx

[@DD_hnp]

Hello, I was wondering if you could share the cable lengths you used? I'm looking to do a custom order to have shorter cables - would you mind sharing the cable length for motherboard, GPU, and CPU?

[@RelaxingSFF]

Sorry, I don't have the exact numbers. Basically you can use this guide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n17bnGtsfsqVmdEsi=J5GcmrpKeNgAAqiR I don't think you can order these custom cables because each individual wire has different length.

[@AnonymousUser-vr7cs]

This ITX build is definitely a step up from the usual stuff I've seen lately. It's pretty impressive. Any chance you're planning a video on the top ITX cases for 2024/25? Be interested to see your picks.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thanks. I do, just don't know when.

[@hughdubyna2252]

Lovely build! What is it that you're doing at the start to that wifi piece? thanks for your video!

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thanks, I changed wifi card.

[@markdavies981]

Love this video. This is a really nice build. I like the look of the COOJ cases, they have a premium look. I've been considering the COOJ MQ4. My only concern is the PSU placement. There appears to be restricted airflow where the PSU fan is located. I was wondering if you have experienced loud PSU fan noise under load?

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thank you. I reversed psu fan direction. It took now fresh air from outside bottom and dump hot air into the case. Under load cpu and gpu fans are much louder.

[@Tommy_The_Gun]

The only thing I would change about this case (if I were the designer) is I would widen it by 1 cm, move the power supply at the bottom, and in the middle between CPU & GPU chamber I would add a small area that would allow to place front USB / USB C / Audio panel in the front middle of the case, and above that you would have an option to mount hot-swap SSD, a slid for a slot-loading optical drive, SD card reader or nothing (but instead you could mount an additional internal 2.5 SSD drive. Either way - it is probably still an ideal ITX case. It is a shame that it is hard to find good, modular PSUs with this standard though.

[@Macheako]

yea, that thing might be a *work of art* ..... but..... so is the 4090 😂❤ really tho, it's hard to stop staring at that build lol ❤ looks amazing

[@Topper352]

Very Nice!, the build looks too clean for me though - before the vid finished I was thinking " I would put this in a display case" OR NeverRemoveFromBox LoL.

[@hexilix]

@@RelaxingSFF Yeah ok that's one part of it. But to my knowledge there are no headers on the motherboard for hardware RGB control. Is the toggle function built into the case(like a daughter board for RGB control) or there is something I missed.
