@@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,.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

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.

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.

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.

[@Arek_R.]

Single layer insulated wires carrying mains voltage being squeezed right underneath the motherboard with sensitive electronics and sharp pins? That's a very bad idea. Those HDPLEX PSUs are not your normal ATX PSUs with concealed mains wiring, with those you really need to be careful... EDIT: WAIT 150 FOR 3D PRINTED CASE?! HELL NO!

[@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.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

[@devyn.johnston]

10cm for the gpu, 20cm for the 24 pin, 30cm for the cpu. They’re available at n3rdware.com/accessories/custom-hdplex-cables

[@jonathanbutler6635]

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.

[@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.

[@RobloxianX]

[@yega3k]

I plan on travelling and I don’t want a laptop. This has better performance, better cooling, easier upgrades / expansion. I want it for gaming so I don’t need a display; I can just use a TV anywhere I stay. The game I want to play is also very demanding (Star Citizen) so a laptop isn’t really good for that.

[@Ace-Brigade]

It's a beautiful case and I love going small but if I'm going small I'm not sacrificing my processor or my video card, at least not that much. I put a 4070 TI super in a Dan A4H20 and regret the fact that I didn't realize there was a 4080 super I could put in there. The biggest problem I have with this case is you're not going to put much of a processor in there with that small of a cooler nor get any serious video card in there. Still great for 1080p gaming though.

[@Forey420]

130€ 🤣 For what? For around 150g of PETG? Brass frame is not an excuse for this price... this part is also very cheap. Also all the imperfections... Better projects were made available to the community for free - nothing justifies such a price...

[@pju28]

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

[@haurjie]

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.

[@bland9876]

And My computer is the exact opposite of this It's freaking massive. I genuinely thought that my PC was a full tower not a mid tower but apparently according to the website mine's a mid tower what the hell? Yes it has like 9 or 10 3.5-in hard drive base which I'm obviously not using.

[@katisphink6858]

How much is it?

[@angrytomasz]

Depending on the materials you use, you can actually have an incredibly strong, rigid and heat resistant build. PETG is not bad. But it's a lot more brittle than even PLA, so even with higher heat resistance, it's definitely not going to be more durable. Printing in ABS, ASA, PC and PA12/PA6 (Nylon) especially when carbon fibre reinforced, will yield leaps and bounds more rigidity, tensile and compressive strength, impact resistance, and most importantly heat resistance. In the order of magnitude of 2-3 times that of PETG when you get up to Nylon (especially carbon fibre reinforced nylon). PETG is just not an ideal solution here. While it will work, it's a place they have decided to cheap out instead of using better and more robust materials. Only time will tell if that decision was worthwhile.

[@arkr1s482]

Cool video, for practical application, just buy a 4060 laptop, it performs very similarly and is probably alot cheaper.

[@SquintyGears]

You're misunderstanding how the two cpu options you mentioned self regulate for power. The AMD chip intentionally draws more power as long as it sees temp headroom. Because it's not a problem at all for it to run just bellow 100C 24/7. Intel still locks down all their chips that don't have a K name... So the one you have here will barely ever break the 65W number on the specsheet. I think given AMD is so much more power efficient if you are worried about the temp numbers, go turn off PBO and take all the performance benefits.

[@lonelymtbrider3369]

So, if you set PL to 70% then you are down at 80 W GPU power draw. Combine it with a decent mem OC and you shouldn't lose much performance at all. At least if this 4060 behaves like other ADA cards normally do...

[@RadialSeeker113]

At the point where you're using a 4060 sff pc build just get a laptop instead. You end up overpaying so much for some of the niche components in an sff build like this and have almost no power after all of it and being less practical than a laptop. The single fan 4070 mod + R7 7800x3d would be perfect for an sff build like this. Especially with lower power limits and a slight undervolt.

[@Pulverbandit]

There is a even smaller case that fits a 4060 plus HDplex the "Prototype SL3m 2.9L" from custom-mod its Size: 239 x 207 x 60mm (2.97L) Cooler: up to 39 mm PSU: HDPlex 250 GaN

[@-BarathKumarS]

[@Adreno23421]

Can't wait for the Ryzen 9000G (or whatever name they give it) comes out. It should be comparable to a 4060, apparently. Then you'll do some crazy magic!

[@BVLVI]

I am just not going to pay for anything that has less than 16gigs. It's no secret that's the gaming industry standard has always been set by Xbox and PlayStation specs. buying less is just forcing you to pay again in just a year or 2. I will stay with my motto of always beating consoles by a margin when I upgrade. So my minimum spec is 18gigs of ram. My 6 year old SLI 1080ti's both have 12gig's.

[@lizandrotorres8068]

which cable lengths did you get for all your cables?

[@---GOD---]

Since everything is hidden, there's no need to spend on aesthetically pleasing mobos, especially high end gaming ones meant for overclocking. You can save a ton of money buy spending much less on your mobo. Even your RAM and cooler can save money since you don't need to spend on fancy RGB stuff. The case does all the talking.

[@miloboy82]

Nice design but let down by usage of 3d printing, can see the print lines. I suspect it may delaminated with time due to heat soak?

[@mikevachon8752]

This is cool and all but the point of PC gaming over console is the easy of upgradeability and this form factor really limits that for the GPU. The 7060, 8060, or 9060 may not be the right size to fit. Best case scenario you just have to update the case.

[@lilsmithers8681]

This is super super cool. I really love the case. But 150 euros for a 3d printed case is just straight highway robbery. Get a velka 3 instead. Much high quality and better materials.
