I know this build is probably dismantled, but is there a world where you run it set to 75c Thermal limit? I have a similar computer, also SFF, that was 60 FPS 1440p Medium Settings in games at 65c, then perfect 144+ FPS 1440p Ultra settings in everything at 75c. Would love to see this tiny case pushed a little bit more.

[@VTX1759]

I removed the Windows shell from the download. Instead I added Steam Big picure to the download.Via the registry. My xbox gamepad keeps falling off from time to time. Could the reason be the removal of the Windows shell? Or are you using a non-original bluetooth adapter? I think the shell may have a lower priority after deletion than Steam or the game. And perhaps this is the reason?

@@ronakparikh Actually, mini ITX systems are common in China as university students are pressed for space.

[@AlphaMachina]

Make sure you update your BIOS in this motherboard so you don't burn your CPU up with too high SoC clocks. Also, with AMD CPU's you need to apply a line or several smaller dots of thermal paste, because both AMD and newer Intel CPU's have chiplets spread out all over the underside of the IHS, and coverage isn't always as good from a single pea sized application. You'll often get a football shaped spread, or a circle that doesn't reach the corners with a single pea application.

i have a 4070 FE bought the last one in my local best buy for retail. Now everytime I see one i grin and look at my own.

[@Alte.Kameraden]

This is the primary reason I want more GPUs like the 4070 but without the insane price tag. 4070 has low enough power draw that it can easily support custom coolers which are 1-2 fans. Basically similar to the 970 and 1070 which both saw mini variants with custom coolers for Small Form Factor PC Builds, the 4070's small board and lower power draw is perfect for another single fan custom cooler small form factor ##70. I'm still under the impression though that the 4070 should of been marketed as a 4060. I think the 4070 is a great GPU, just it's relying more on Software improvements than hardware, which is insulting when taking into consideration the price they're charging. I honestly want a 4070 but I will pay nothing less than $399 for it. It's not a 4070, all but in name only.

[@michaelwilloya3510]

My experiences with this case: The power LED is like a lighthouse beacon, especially if your MB choice flashes during sleep mode. I used some blue painter's tape to tone it down. Livingroom case, fine, bedroom.....just wow. It seems to be best with Founder's edition cards. Maybe even designed around them. I built with a 7900gre and it pretty much blocks the side vent holes. I am wishing I had found a FE 4070 super because of lighting and cooling headaches. Or at least something with a more blow through design. My card is not a bad card, just a bad fit for this case. I used a thermalright argb cooler and wish I went with the Noctua. I had this stupid notion that I wanted to try and get a little rgb bling and that was a mistake. If RGB is something you want plan way ahead. A standard GPU is tucked way inside behind things and looks pretty bad with RGB effects on behind the (awesome) included fans but not much better behind RGB ones. As with many SFF cases, cable management is more a "tuck and hope" affair. Triple check from at least 2 or 3 angles that your connectors are in before moving to the next step. Having to tear everything down to find out you didn't manage to snap in a plug right just makes your tears even more salty. It is a beautiful case with great aesthetics overall but does require some planning to build cleanly. Devyn's built is pretty on point and deviating from his recipe is gonna take research and dedication.

@@GamingIntelCoreM-y I understand that you may disagree, but I don't know why you think an actual PC would change the worthwhile game availability. Currently, the market on PC and Console is saturated with pay to play titles like World Of Tanks/Warships, Fortnite, COD Warzone, Overwatch and hundreds of others. Not to mention almost every game has DLC, crate drops, coins, weapons/armor packs or skins. EA hasn't released anything in over a decade that doesn't try to force you into buying a bunch of crap that should be free. Naughty Dog, Blizzard, Gearbox, Ubisoft, Guerilla and Rockstar all thrive in that same DLC space. I don't think hardware is going to change the industry of game production. It's already too late for the that. My hope was that we move into an era where the hardware is truly powerful. We're not that far from actual PC prices anymore, so why don't we just go all the way in and have machines that are full featured, mid-high range spec? Small form factor PC is also getting much better. Now we can fit the best CPUs and GPUs into an ITX case the size of a shoe box. I was just saying that I think it's time to look beyond the limitations of console gaming or adapt the best features console for PC gaming.

Always use a pillow to place the mother board mate, installing pressure can damage your board

That is a 1-2 day test but I wonder how well this performs a year or two later with no space for air which is why the sides are full of holes it needs all the help it can get to cool it.I am happy to see the included disclaimer many are obvious but do not put that in their video which I am pretty sure is illegal.

[@Marveljesis]

Yeah no. For that price you could buy 3 or more Ps5s. If we want to be real you could have made a pc for the price of a ps5 and compare it. I just think making a pc the size of a ps5 is stupid and definitely in my opinion not smart since you put a 4070 in there.

Extremely good video, thanks for the links!

Cpu cooler is used for making oxygen and a piston fire for the x wing

Please flip the A12x15 on the L12S other way round so that it will intake fresh cold air through the heatsink. It will make a lot of difference.

really minimalist👍🏼

I only viewed part of this because you click baited with the word “UNREAL.” Also when the nice case cost half the price of PS5, you raised my eyebrow on what the total cost of this system would be. Now if you really wanted to make a system that matches the PS5 at the same price, that would be much higher challenge. Sadly, you really can’t, I know I have tried. But for my own needs, I have found going with older 12th gen i5T, MSI miniITX motherboard and an RTX-4060, I was able to play the 2023 AAA games I have on my 8.9” 2.5K panel & gamepad device I call the ‘Gaming Lens’ at High or Ultra setting including Cyberpunk 2077 (High Settings - 1920x1200 90fps w. Ray Tracing) and “The Last of Us” (High Settings - 1920x1200 90fps). My case is half as high and an inch or two thicker (boring black) AND it only cost me $700, including the ‘Gaming Lens’. For me, this suits me just fine, Oh and it only draws 200W and can be powered by 19VDC battery pack.

I could say that watercooled would be a better way. Simply because Ryzen 7k series run super hot.

[@Mantarochen187]

What a nice build. Thumbs up

[@kareemjadou629]

You bought something that was made specifically for that thing. It is your money that speaks, not your work, and for the price of the graphics card that I installed on the device, I can buy an xbox serious x with a 4k screen, a game pass subscription for one year, and some fun

[@vincentkeith5259]

Planning same basic build - but ProArt 4080 & MSI motherboard This was very helpful. I must have looked at dozens of cases - many that I found are not available (Dancase C4-SFX, etc) I toyed with the idea of a Lian Li A4-H20 build, but I just don't like water cooler - probably some residual paranoia about leaks. Then I looked at the Terra (love the way that case looks) but the best cooler I could spec to fit (thanks to the ProArt) was the Noctua NH-L9x65 - which they say will handle the 7800 x3d but it seems to leave no room at all. I really like the look of this - but the Ridge allows a better cooler and has the advantage of a smaller footprint.

[@davesmith7658]

Would be good to have the individual costs and total cost of the whole build and optional extras (controllers etc)

[@corentinlauret3217]

The fact you use FE card instead of giga supra chad 3 fans rgb true tone card, make the build so aesthetic

[@z3ro7o]

Total Build Cost: $1,890 LOL WTF

[@westpole]

Great content and setup....editing is on point for such a relatively small channel...just one word of advice...ditch the stiffness in the body language and the stern look....and you'd be good to go!

Yes, it is possible to wake up the PC from standby mode using a controller. However, you need to ensure that the controller’s settings are configured to wake up the PC from standby mode. If you are using an Xbox controller, you can configure it as follows: Open Control Panel and select Devices and Printers. Right-click on the Xbox Wireless Controller and select Properties. Select the Power Management tab. Check the box “Allow this device to wake up the computer from sleep”. If you are using a different controller, you may need to check the controller’s documentation or search for instructions on the internet.

today w the size of the cpus, a pea sized amount of thermal paste is not enough for even distribution. i advise u to distribute the paste urself before applying the cooler

[@Bryanluna1994]

Clean build ❤
