[@MrRocendroll]

Do you know if 180watt version, also come with this huge brick of an power adapter? I'm willing to risk it if lower watt version comes without it. Also - about that cover part for 1l lenovo. It's not the issue for the build presented in this video, to buy this 1l pc already with it, or is it? Does it have any drawbacks if I would do that, maybe it comes with weaker/older cpu only? Or does the only thing is that it could come with gpu I wouldn't need (but most probably it would be dissasembled form the case?)

[@Gh0styGames]

Just have to find a deal on the card ended scooping one for 175 then even with cooler you end up spending around the typical price of just the card

[@DIDISCH68]

It is a handcrafted low profile cooler made of copper and stainless steel, the price is very reasonable.

[@samserious1337]

6:21 Great to see some old hardware getting used, but the T model really keeps this chip from unfolding its strength. Even a R5 5600 with PBO2 & CO gets 5100 points which is almost 2x the performance.

[@abhimaanmayadam5713]

But thermals is the big thing. A 5600 will absolutely overwhelm low profile cooler at stock wattage.

[@samserious1337]

​@@abhimaanmayadam5713 Nope. You can even overclock with the AMD Wraith Stealth stock cooler, depending on your RAM frequency. Over 3333MHz the IO die sips more power though and gets hotter.

[@abhimaanmayadam5713]

@@samserious1337 Right, but a Wraith Stealth is a lot taller than the case and im pretty sure that fan can shove way more air than the tiny blower fan in the case. The Wraith Stealth is 55 mm tall (based on some measurements I found online) The MiniPC is 37 mm "tall". In order to get a case that fits, it ceases to be a 1L case. A 5600GE would be a much better bet as it is a 35 Watt TDP. But its Zen 2 instead of Zen 3 and AMD enterprise machines like this arent as common, at least at that price point. The ThinkCentre M75q Tiny from Lenvovo comes with a 5750GE and I think its in the same form factor. But its also twice the price on Ebay, closer to $400 while this MiniPC is like $179.

[@A392Hz]

That high end GPU isn't actually "A4000". Instead it is "RTX 4000 SFF" without "A".

[@handlemonium]

Still's basically a smaller, but much less affordable RTX 3060 SFF that happens to draw only 70W.

[@jiraiyasinfocard]

May I ask of the specs for your build? I'm not really an Intel person I prefer AMD so what you're saying is extremely fascinating to me. Please and thank you have a nice day!

[@anonytuser711]

@@jiraiyasinfocard Thanks for asking about my Linux AMD gaming setup. It's an AM5 AMD 7700 CPU, 7900GRE processor, with 64GB RAM because I run virtual machines. It works great in Debian and Arch distributions with full graphics acceleration in Steam. For a SFF build, simply swap in the A2000, which can do 1080p gaming all day.

[@Djoki1]

These nano machines with actual performance are quite fascinating. Gives me the same feel as emulating windows games on android.

This GPU is mainly for very low profile, small form factor PCs, or for extremely efficient PC builds, if that’s not your requirement, there are much better GPUs than A2000 at that price point

[@theinktician]

Yeah, long gone are the days of "the secret budget king". I got mine for 240USD back in 2021 during inflation, but sold it in a custom office*(gaming) pc build for twice the price and the guy was excited about it. If you were around back then, and willing to pay customs lol, then I wouldve gladly sold it to you for 300....in my currency

[@epoul]

try the 3050 6gb low profile

[@djmorris666]

Same here… I was lucky to get the a2000 for around EUR 200, but these days are over. Anyhow, if you want to build a „steam machine“ better to go with a low profile 6400

[@theinktician]

bro i had my suspicions years ago when I 1st bought my A2000 - this is the exact build I wanted but i gave up when I realized it wouldnt fit. I didn't even know the pcie slot was proprietary so I wouldve run into that problem haha. More cooler mods NEED to be made - this itself is a VERY profitable business if you ask me (given you have the materials)

[@ll_spud]

You can put the non T i7-8700 in that system. Just have to upgrade the cpu heatsink with a copper one. This came with some of the higher end models.

[@TC-hl1ws]

Are you sure? Doesn't the non T draw too much power for this system?

[@C0LPAN1C]

I use a 7700T for my trueNAS. 8700T is pretty low draw, too. Good for transcoding too.

[@handlemonium]

There's already A2000s going for $250-$350 on Marketplace. Not sure if it's a better value than a $420 Ryzen 7840HS mini PC with a RX 6400 grade iGPU (Radeon 780M) though.

[@INTERCEPTOR310]

This is sooo crazy but cool. The best build 😆

[@yougoonie3338]

37 watts at 80+ FPS on High settings, amazing! game for hours with reasonable electricity bill. Hopefully these GPU's become more affordable and mainstream. Electricity is the key to human salvation, not dinosaur bones and dead trees we grind up and burn.

[@Blind-Ambition]

The lenovo Thinkstation P330 Tiny can also do this. I regularly see them with Pascal Quadros in them being sold on eBay - these come with 9th gen CPUs in them so are slightly more expensive but could probably handle an i9-9900T (there are a few 17-9700T variants floating around). Because of this, the P330 already comes with GPU vents pre-baked into the casing

[@RawDealCo]

[@Denroe-fd4hx]

save some money cut a bigger hole too let a full sized A- 2000 just pop out of top of it is what i would do myself on a budget, makes most sense to me you could just print a higher top case for it also.

[@vicheaterx]

This has it's place in a low-CPU requirement, beefier GPU than iGPUs in the 890M class and don't mind the 2-3x more volume than a 4x4 mini.

[@Byahn-Provelocity]

I wish more people would benchmark games that the majority of my friends play: Ark Survival Evolved, Empyrion Galactic Survival, and 7 Days to Die. They're old games, but very GPU taxing on little systems. However, when looking at low end gaming systems, my friends have tight budgets.

[@jameskramer3461]

I love it, but the whole set up is a bit rich for my blood. I snagged a HP mini PC with a 10700t and a mobile 1660ti for $350, and its fantastic. I love having it as a living room PC.

[@MrZhufor]

In the company we have pc-s like this, right now i am considering stealing one, just for a PC like this! :D

[@kang7014]

you can use Lenovo Legion 135w Gan charger to get rid of that bulky power brick, so it will be close to real 1L in size

[@Spreadie]

I have the P330 and P350 variants of the Lenovo Tiny PCs and both came with the x16 adapter and ventilation over the GPU air intake. My P330 has the same 8700T, and my P350 has the 11700T. I'm really trying to resist grabbing an A4000 SFF and N3rdware's single slot cooler, but I'm a little worried about the 50 watt limit on the PCIE slot. I suppose I could try undervolting but I got nowhere with that on my little RTX T600, although I'm prettyy sure I undervolted my old A2000.

[@max0r4axor]

I used a electrical panel manual knockout tool to make my holes for the cpu and gpu

[@Crustenscharbap]

This PC tooks about 90-100W at gaming. About 80% more than Ryzen Ai 370HX and its about 50% faster than the Ryzen. This is very, very efficient! And I think the GPU is about 350€ + 100€ RAM+SSD and the Lenovo PC for 200€. Its 650€. So its cheaper and faster than a BEllink SER9 for example. Maybe dGpus are not as bad. Imagine this with a RTX 3050 6GB in LP can be very cheap, efficient and fast.

[@luisfelipegonzalez4423]

Can you test it vs the rtx 3050lp? I think that both are close in performance. Of course single slot is the advantage here. Also, how much performance did you lost on the default speed settings?

I wonder if using Throttlestop to undervolt both the CPU and GPU would help you squeeze more performance out of that 40 watts?

[@cgourin]

It is cool as is but if you factor in the extra volume of the PSU is it really worth for anyone to have very specific hardware not meant for that usage when you can get a small form factor case that will accommodate the hardware you want and the one you will want. Who is lacking that much space that they will need to reduce their gaming rig to this size? Gamers on a bicycle, hiker gaming?

I keep saying this to where one might call it spam, but THAT is the missing segment for GPUs. It's sad how long it took for a decent GPU to arrive in LP (GB 4060 LP) and even that isn't perfect with it's extended lenght. Shame that we have to spend so much damn money, to buy a prosumer card like a A2000 or A4000 SFF Ada and then spend another huni for a LP single slot modded cooler to get the single slot... I hope dearly that AMD leaving the high end means we will see more LP cards, maybe with a premium cooler assembly instead of the embarassing nvidia A2000 aluminium solution.
