@@RandomGaminginHD"hello everyone, and welcome". In todays video- we have salvaged a rare Corsair HX750i with most of its cables intact. I've assembled a hodge podge of boards, some with ram, others with just a cpu and maybe a nicely hidden m.2... Lets see what we can piece together, shall we.
“Hello everyone and welcome to another video. Today I found 10 dead rats and tamed a pack of wild dogs to harass the local wildlife. Hopefully dinner is good tonight, otherwise I might have to eat the whole pack. Let me know if you have any suggestions for a trade if you need any wild puppies. Thanks for watching.”
"Today, a feral EVGA employee graciously let me borrow (on a permanent basis *Wink) a secret 4090 prototype he'd managed to almost fully restore. It had everything, bar a few chokes and two memory dies. Parts, I'd surely find, either nearby, or in my own stash of piled up computer towers". Switches to a duet with Louis Rossmann on the final repairs. They then argue on what game to play on their new toy.
I watch a lot of people build pc's using new parts, used parts, new old stock etc and I always find your presentation of the build process the most watchable.
Out of the many videos featuring builds in the CH160, I think you're the only one who's used a standard non-modular ATX PSU and installed it competently. The cable management is great and the temps are more than decent for an air-cooled ITX build. Nice 🍻
I wish I knew how not to just stuff my cables inside the CM NR200. I think non-modular PSUs are advantageous in that there aren't too many protruding plugs coming out of them.
You should actually test a system like this with full system load for 30 minutes and monitor temps while doing so... Heat may actually build up inside over time.
@@oropher1234 SFF builds aren't hotter by default. There are many of them that run cooler than most ATX full towers. My meshlicious for example is straight up full mesh panels, way better thermals than my old ATX build. The CH160 isn't as cool but it's really solid temp wise.
I enjoyed watching this guy's videos because of his relaxing voice and because he's not like these other tech youtubers out there claiming to be repairmen where all they are doing is swapping parts.
@@yanni-duff I don't want to be rude but tbh, anyone who has common sense can do that. My point is that it is sad that there are legitimate repairmen like northwestrepair who doesn't get the love as much as this big tech guys who allegedly claims to be the experts. (cough, cough jaytwocents)
yep i remember a couple of years ago i started my first ever M-itx build i got a case without looking up any other hardware. nearly fell off my chair when i realised a AM4 M-itx mobo was going to cost me almost 400 aussie dollars....
I loved the fact that you actually used an atx psu for this build not like everyone using an sf/sfx-l psu, making the build cheaper and properly utilising the space. Thanks for the build.
If I were going to use the 3060, I would have opted for a cheaper AM4 motherboard with a Ryzen 5600 and less expensive DDR4 RAM. This would result in a significantly cheaper system with similar performance, and you'd also have room to upgrade to a 5800X3D down the line. 🙂
looks clean , nice how it combines a compact size with compatibility for more reasonably priced parts , i just build a lan pc in an ammo tin , its about half as wide but i did have to get a mini psu , been wanting to get into smaller builds for a while , its pretty satisfying when it all fits
Finally, a video showing an ATX PSU in the CH160. Glad to know using a ATX PSU is actually passable considering the temps and cables. Will be considering this case for a potential downsize from my chunky H510i.
I genuinely thought getting the gpu in was gonna be a headache and so would its temps, overall a surprisingly good performing build, I have that same rtx model and specs and got it for 190 dollars, a lot of value can be obtained from the used market if one searches right
Probably my future case (in white) ... unless I get the Mars gaming MC-Elite or the Darkflash DLH21, both in white too. The only problem for me with this Deepcool is the glass side window. I would have preferred a perforated sheet metal window for the airflow.
I built in the KXRORS S300 - Mini-ITX PC Case, ASUS ROG Strix B660-I Gaming Wifi, i5-12600t, ID-cooling IS-55 BLACK, MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti VENTUS 2X BLACK 16G OC, i love this pc. It's not cheap, but so nice. One note about the case, the PCIe riser cable that comes with it is... not good. Needed to get a PCIe 4.0 x16 Riser cable, 18.5CM double reverse angle.
I think the compact build like this is cool. I bought a mATX mobo because of this. I still use my old mid tower and haven't continue the journey yet lol
i bought a cheap deepcool case as well. Its flimsy and probably wont survive any drop, even just on its side, but for what it is, it does its job, so im not complaining on saving money and amount of material needed for a throwaway PC like a cheap gaming PC
This case has the exact same dimensions as my InWin A1. I'm getting a little bored of the A1 after all these years. This one will go on my list of possible replacements.
Interesting to see Deepcool taking an “air only” approach since they don’t officially support AIOs. Newegg is preordering them at $70 in the US (before shipping), which is actually a pretty good price, assuming it lives up to Deepcool’s usual build quality (which it seems to do)
Wow, amazing build and amazing case i havent heard of apparently. Makes me regret trying to fit deepcool smaller form factor cooler into cooler master NR200p. But still, my temps are low and performance is great, and the additional heater capabilities keeps me warm at nights lol
Oh god, I wouldn't trust a Gigabyte PSU, not since the P750GM and P850GM had explosive issues... Hopefully that one works well! Though overall, looks like a nice little compact system :)
Having a similar layout in my (modified) Raijintek metis my concern is the PSU cables getting in the way of the GPU. Ideally the PSU needs to be rotated so it exists out of the rear-side panel with the 24pin exiting window side.
Hey, do you ever plan on doing a video on BCLK overclocking with 12th gen chips? Nowadays you can pick up a 12400F for ~140 euros and a B760M PG Riptide for 150, chuck in some RAM and you will end up at around 350 for CPU+MB+RAM. I recently BCLK overclocked my 12400F to 5.2GHz all core and the performance is very impressive. I think it would be an interesting video to compare it to a 7600, 5600x etc and Intels 13400. This is the only upgrade path that makes sense on Intel imo, since AM5 is a way better option in most scenarios. Love your videos, been a longtime viewer!
There is a Chinese case called a Shiny Snake G400. The DeepCool is definitely very close in style to it. But with much better airflow and cooling capacity. Which you would expect from DeepCool. I would say they are almost unmatched in that department. Love their air coolers especially. But yeah you can put the SAMA cases in the same general category. Along with CM's NR200 of course. The popularity of all these PSU up front style cases is really great to see I do reckon. I hope it continues. I do wish for more Micro ATX support. Plus some less expensive Mini ITX boards.
i own a 12400f itx build with a 4070 super. I use a 240mm aio on it. The stock cooler is great, BUT in a such small case ( i got even smaller case) you don't want to heat the interior of the case and not to mention the noise. With 240mm aio, the cpu is peaking around 49 degrees under 100% stress test, and the pump is running at the lowest rpm, the pc is virtually dead silent. Also all the heat exits immediately at the top of the case. That cooler is very good even after a cpu upgrade such as a 13700f which is a huge leap.
Hey bud, just wondering what software you are using on the left side of the screen to display the temps/usage/etc. Can't ever seem to see it listed on many review channels, but I see it everywhere. Would love to see what my computer is doing while I play games, but all I really have is Speccy for temps and Task Manager, and neither of those are an overlay lol
almost all gigabyte psus that you see on sale, p450b, p650b, and so on are extremely unreliable. Either they kick the can out right or after a short period of time. The risk is too high to consider these, which is why you got it for pretty cheap, but arguably not cheap enough. I have seen posts in my local area with 450 psus from gigabyte dying, and glad that the vast majority of the people know of these issues, unfortunately a few unlucky people get handed these unsellable bombs by some shops so that the shops can off load these.
i been wanting too build in a itx case but i did not find one where i can use a gpu and a capture card but they just only hold a gpu i use dual pc setup i been looking for small formfactor i am getting older too mantain bigger case atxme being at 32 years old
Seeing the temps with ATX psu is good news. But now I wonder do I want to get sfx psu to mount 2 more fans or keep using my current ATX psu. Thankfully still weeks to think and wait for more reviews to come out.
Do you think a 160mm PSU would fit in this case? I am currently using a Silverstone SG-10, which is around an inch larger in every dimension, and was thinking of swithcing to a smaller form factor.
looking at the video it looks like a 160mm PSU would fit in as long as it is matched with a short 2 fan graphics card.and the reason they say max 140mm is so that the longest graphics cards still technically fit (though cable management would be a nightmare)
