yes and has the same performance as the regular 4060 right? i think the difference is the price too

[@Odinsday]

@@arikowidtrash7074Same performance and much more compact. There is a $30 markup, but it is a very high quality card, it feels like a brick in your hand. Puts the manufacturing of something like a LP 1650 or 3050 to shame

[@Rspsand07]

@@arikowidtrash7074It's only a lil more expensive, for something so niche it's a good deal. Now the 4060 itself... Huge markup on that crappy card from nvidia. And SFF costs a lot more, it's everything else where you'll be paying a markup, not the 4060. Mobo, case, psu, etc,.

[@danielhulan3058]

Man that case is beautiful. I love the black with gold accents.

[@TrusteftTech]

1. Great video, thank you. 2. It's easily one of the most attractive small form PC I have ever seen. It's beautiful. 3. If only the case was made of metal. 4. If only it was dark orange color. 5. If only I had more than 5 euros in my account! Then I would definitely build one such PC.

[@pradeepmanoharan9914]

your studio aesthetics is top notch . the way you captured is classic . even top tech people in youtube doesn't fits to your quality of your video. Great work.

[@Sergeeeek]

Cool! I built a 4070 pc in velka 5 using your guide, works great, thanks!

[@marcus-wv9ti]

really? how much did it cost?

[@Sergeeeek]

@@marcus-wv9ti around 1800 USD, but I payed 800 on top for shipping overseas from US and import tax (18% in my country). Funnily enough it is cheaper than buying a lower spec PC here locally.

[@wheezel55]

is it bad thermals/perf because of size?

[@Sergeeeek]

​@@wheezel55 I got an AMD 7600, these new AMD chips target 95c at full load, so no matter what cooler you have thermals will be the same lol. But if your cooling is good it will hit higher clocks at full load for longer. In my case I also undervolted the cpu quite a bit and it started getting slightly higher clocks. It's hard to measure that though, so I don't have exact numbers. As for gpu, 4070 is pretty efficient. I can play Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing and DLSS balanced for hours. I get around 100-120 fps (with frame gen, so really like 50-60). There is no throttling or anything, so the cooling is good enough. Thermals are not a problem, but noise might be.

[@Sma-v4y]

great, how are the temps? I am planning to build such thing for 3d, unreal stuff

[@TheUnexpected6]

You mentioned no softening or melting of the plastic but at 3:27 you can definitely tell some bending has happened on the right side of the entire build. It's quite glaring, but unassumingly you wouldn't find it. Once you see it you really cant "un-see" it.

[@joshbracken5450]

More than likely happened during printing. Very common. Usually just bad bed adhesion and is solved easily with leveling, cleaning the bed plate, or using some type of glue adhesive on the bed plate.

[@alienzerox]

oh yeah, I see it the bowing on the bed, my OCD would never allow that, especially with the brass contrast.

[@Jeyricho]

The closeup of the power button and USB-C port shows really rough artifacts of the print job too. For 140 bucks, I think I'll look into Velka instead

[@Viking8888]

After they designed it, it's mostly 3D printer crafted, not hand crafted. PETG is not expensive either. 150 pounds is bloody insane.

[@fluffypinkpandas]

i think its mostly because they are hobbyists trying to be producers. As a hobbyist myself I get mad frustrated dealing with my own 3d printer, and you bet your ass I would charge someone as much as I think I could get away with when it comes to making me wait for a single thing to take damn near a whole day to print and I have to babysit it. I agree they should have the PETG injected into a mold though. Cuts down on price and saves hairpulling & time for everyone.

[@englandrasmussen3111]

No one should pay over 100$ for a 3D printed frame. Stupid. You can get the same size case from NFC with aluminum. This is stupid

[@Viking8888]

@englandrasmussen3111 I totally agree!

[@fluffypinkpandas]

@@englandrasmussen3111 aw but if its aluminum you know longer have cool reddit points for having a rare hard to make luxury item. you instead have something reliable and cheap... which is great... but not bathing in reddit updoots. You see. the reason why the PC master race exists is because its a completely separate class from PC User Base

[@kenblaji]

KZbinr Optimum Tech modeled and assembled a 3D printed case of 2.7 liters volume with the same card, but this one is by far more aesthetic and elegant. Indeed the materials can be improved and optimized but I really like what they achieved here.

[@angelodavis3990]

Talk about perfect timing! Been refreshing your channel for weeks, and there it is! Excited for your latest upload! Thank you bro!

nice find. they should really make a metal version, I think it'd look stunning

[@RonnyBTokin]

or resin printing and then electroplate it, idk if thats more cost effective on mass production scale though

[@Randomness662]

I was definitely looking at one of these last year, but that was before the LP 4060 came around. Glad to see it's now a viable option.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Oddly really cool case. Love you’re video dude, been watching for a while

[@strayzilla]

Your channel has started my new hobby of building PC's and trying new cool pc builds for a hobby instead of gaming on them for the most part. Now, if I could only figure out cable management.

[@pixel6726]

Do you sell the final builds? Or just have a bunch of PCs lying around.

[@hafuridotus]

Probably going to look into something like this as my reference build for what I want when it's time for a third build. Right now I'm rocking the Teenage Engineering Computer-1 case, with a 3060 inside.

[@fluffypinkpandas]

i had to watch your video to be sure it wasnt just mine. the additive manufacturing process means there will be *some* warp on the bottom of the case and maybe on the top since its a huge flat pane. I also have a 3d printer and it has an even worse warping problem than this when attempting similar surfaces. the fact they got it THIS flat as to minimize said warping is a testament to how professional these guys are.

[@coreyisapushover]

Just a tip for anyone looking at the i5-13400. Just get the i5-13500. It has 8 e-cores instead of 4.

woah thats crazy,tgats nearing XSS territory which is 2.6L in total volume

[@baths4carsraspberrypicomputer]

small as a couple hard drives but powerful as a beast

[@Rubble_ZA]

Bit late to this but the PSU should have a little more headroom if you're measuring off the wall socket directly. With the peak efficiency being at 94%, in theory you could pull power up to the point the reading hits 265W - probably a bit more though as PSU's generally arent as efficient at such high loads Awesome build though, glad to see more 3d printed cases are taking off as there's so much more potential for new stuff to come to market without the crazy expenses around full metal prototype builds

[@DazePhase]

2 days ago I lowered the volume of my PC from 35 to 14,3 L and now this... Come one man, mine build is with 4060 too. xD Love SFF builds, it looks so clean and portable.

[@Nothwarren]

I've created mine. IT-X format, no GPU. I have it for what. 1 year now and it's been a really good partner, no breaking so far. I've printed it in ASA and it proves itself really strong. I travel with it 1-2 time a week in a backpack to go to work. I think about releasing the files really soon

[@johnv746]

Watching this, I could totally see similarities with Optimum Tech's vids especially in the presentation and style, and also in the scripts (I think I heard some familiar phrases also spoken by Ali on his sff build guide particularly on the intro for the pc components, dont know if its just me lol). Also, they both use 3D printers from the same brand (coincidence? idk). But anyways, the main distinction bet. this and Ali's sff builds is that Ali shows the use of modified components (e.g. perfect length cables, custom pcb controllers, 3D printed cases, etc.) whereas Devyn's builds focuses on PC's which you can simply buy the parts and build them yourself without the need for modifications. Although Ali does also have vids without the use of custom components. I would say I still prefer Ali's vids, but I dont have any qualms with getting inspiration (Its just the way the world works). Anyways, great vid and hope you continue with the creating great content.

If you’re interested in something smaller, the minisforum MS-01 can hold a single half height gpu, like the rx 6400, and comes in at less than 2 liters. It comes with a mobile cpu soldered to the board but the options are, a 12450H, 12900H, or 13900H. Not sure there are any better single slot low profile gpus though.

[@Weepsy_]

An actually proper looking HTPC

Hopefully they make a refreshed version of the case with a little bit more wiggle room for a extra fan and easy fit for the smaller 4060 rtx and better material against heat :)

How much was this build

[@naifbashin3099]

I think is less than 1k

[@SEMCOManagementInc]

I recently built a Yocto & Yocto+ using the same motherboard, but for the Gigabyte RTX 4060 LP, I used the N3rdware dual Noctua 60mm x 25mm fans to replace the OEM 3-fan shroud and I was quite impressed with the cooling with the GPU temps maxing out at about 75C. If interested, I have those builds listing on Facebook on the SFF Mini-ITX channel and a couple more computer channels. The only difference is instead of the i5-13400, I used the i5-13500T for the Yocto and i5-14600T for the Yocto+ as I wanted a lower power draw, lower heat CPU that works great for both productivity and gaming.

[@scott5322]

The best SFF PC channel hands down!

[@provokor]

Hey Devyn! For builds like these, it's recommended to undervolt both CPU and GPU, right? Was wondering if it was considered hehe.

What are your thoughts about the Minisforum motherboards with built in Laptop CPUs? Would be interesting to see a mini ITX build with the 4060 with one of those like the AR900i which is a 24 core i9.

[@ruslan_yefimov]

Just get a laptop....

[@el10leo]

Case being 3DP is very VERY obvious and a huge drop in quality. Looks like shit upon semi-closer look.

[@richardduba9151]

The thing is, with all cases on this channel that tried to utilize the Low Profile 4060, all were suboptimal because they completely block the airflow of this gpu. Having vertical fins on the heatsink, it pushes the air on two sides and it were always blocked in all cases featured here. However, there's one case that's actually MADE for the 4060 LP. It's the A24-v5. The panels are vented EXACTLY where they should, so the used warm the air of the gpu can leave the case instead of getting immediately blocked and trapped like here, and every other that was featured. For this reason, I think the A24-v5 is the best for the LP model (riserless, 70mm cpu cooling clearance, 3mm thick panels) and the Velka 3 is the winner for anyone having a single fan gpu.

[@devyn.johnston]

It has ventilation on the side and bottom of the gpu - imgur.com/V8PYrFo

[@richardduba9151]

@@devyn.johnstonThe riser is blocking it on the other side. Same with the Gemcase where the psu blocks it and with the HT5, it's the closed panel of the case itself. With the A24-v5, there's a vented line on the backside as well where the gpu exhausts, so that should result in even better temps at load scenarios and also could be layed horizontally like this one. It could prove to be a nice comparison and how sturdy it is, it's definitely up for travel. This video is great for mentioning how the i5 is more suitable for 40mm clearance - that's very useful for people getting inspired to tacke one of these compact cases. Keep up the good work:)

[@lizandrotorres8068]

which cable lengths did you get for all your cables?

[@bsmith85282]

Hey sir, looking to do this build soon! If you have time can you let me/us know the length of the cables you used?

[@lowstaar]

Perhaps some gold foil would help to dissipate the heat more evenly at the psu side, and would even fit the build (although its in the inside). Just a guess though.

[@Flooke_177]

How much does one need to make one

[@dbzssj4678]

the 250w is for output, given power supplies are about 80% efficient, you can assume that measuring at the wall that the unit is at max input at 120% rated output. On this unit its 300w.

[@johngonzalez9621]

I’m wondering how this compares to one of those mini pcs that have amd integrated graphics

[@TechTyrial]

hey i was wondering what is that square dome light at the top called?

[@RandallSGregory]

I sent you adoption papers. Bring the pc with you

[@carlosmiguel4756]

Awesome build congrats!!! The only potential problem i see here is long term for the PSU! If you're an intensive gamer, constantly pushing the limits, the PSU might die after some months or even earlier! At least 300-350W is mandatory for a system with these specs to be safe in the long term. Now, if you go APU like a 8700G which i think should be the purpose of these tiny builds, then a 200-250W PSU is more than enough :D and i'm probably building one next year with ZEn5 APU!

[@pixelgamer83]

First video I have seen from you. On the Ryzen have you gone into the bios and set it to run in ECO mode before? Curious also then how the performance would stack against the intel chip. I know a lot of users run their Ryzen chips in ECO mode and say they only lose a bit of performance but the power draw and heat difference is pretty significant.

[@netnomad47]

[@Iamdoepi]

[@radiantav]

That’s a really lovely case. Good build

[@MrCanberry]

when the fuck are they gonna make 70 and 80 tier cards this size????? criminally underrates form factor

[@MarkoMood]

Great question. Especially when you consider that the 60 tier is the least energy efficient of all of them... 80 or 90 makes the most sense for a small build where every watt and degree matters

[@cardboardsnail]

Not happening unless Nvidia decides to move the --80 cards way down from the 300W+ TDP power envelope they've been at for the past couple of generations. Their workstations cards like the RTX 4000 Ada SFF are proof that Nvidia's perfectly capable of making relatively powerful cards with a low TDP, but they haven't applied any such strategy to their Geforce line yet.

[@pju28]

Is it possible the same case to workout with only AMD components?

[@zhenjieliang4680]

This might be a dumb question, but is the air circulation of the case compensated because of its size?

[@sm8081]

Great content, but try pls with lower tdp hungry builds with this 250W fanless hdplex. It is recommended to use PSU at max 80 percent of its max power supplied. There are 7840HS buil-in mobos in the market with lower TDP.

[@wric01]

How about a mini pc build with passive cooling with thunderbolt4 or occulink. Giving users options for silent day to day tasks and gaming loud when needed.

[@ItsGamein]

does it actually perform the same as a 4060 or is it like those nerfed versions they put in laptops?

[@milescarter7803]

For the money you save going with PIO you can have a custom aluminum case drawn up. I think Revocases might have some ideas. His TIPIO 1.9L case was the one I used for my 2.1L 4060 build. I just can't stand the wires and full size RAM when it starts getting near a really small case. Please at least look into a PIO like the JW or Zillion ThinITX PIO.

[@joshuadalagan8823]

I really love mini PCs but I'm just curious. Are the temps in these PCs similar or near to gaming laptops?

[@TheCuttz1984]

Fyi I have had no problem under-volting the 65w 7600. Negative -30 is no problem however I toned it down to-25 as temps were perfect in a Densium with zotac 4070. For when you want as much HP as you get in sub 5l. This build is clean AF btw. Hopefully they release a steel version.

[@dmoster]

This is awesome!! I really hope somebody makes a low profile or ITX-length 4070 Super. It’s such a powerful card for the amount of actual energy it takes to run.

I'm just here looking for the Optimum Tech comments lol. But honestly, nothing wrong with a lot of the aesthetics, cadence, and format like Ali (even if it wasn't the intention but so happens to come off that way), I also take notes from best practices of creators I like as well. As long as you provide good info, value, entertainment or whatever the goal of the video then that's fine. Don't have to reinvent the wheel.

[@miguelcollado5438]

You can place heat resistant/reflecting tape on the inside of the chassis, around the PSU

[@throwingfrogs2832]

I dont think insulating the PSU would be smart

[@leecm]

I love the look of tiny cases, but they're too loud in my experience. I left my Louqe Ghost S1 because of the poor thermals and loudness required to keep the CPU and GPU cooled and got a Fractal North. It is silent most of the time, and I have no regrets. That tiny case certainly looks nice though!

This is a next 15 years Xbox & PlayStation pc build. Great build 👍😀

[@Doc_Valparaiso]

I'm sure applying an uv for the cpu and 4060 to help with the temps and tdp has crossed your mind. If we ever get a low profile 4060ti you could create quite the beastly box for sure. There's some embedded/nuc style boards worth looking over for future builds. Intel quit making nucs. But, they're still making oem boards. I've seen some nice embedded Ryzen 7000 boards. For full on desktop performance the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D (16c/32th) at 55w would be an absolute beast (albeit overkill) for these kinds of builds. V-cache on 6 and 8 core mobile would be ideal.

[@K.Willmann]

Good and dense arrangement of parts, I like the design. Strict and minimalistic. The choice of CPU cooler is limited by height. There are rarely video graphics cards with a short metal part. Accordingly, the choice of a suitable video card is also very limited.
