@@jonnyfontane3607 Which model it was. It was an anhanced 600w modular (which is what I have) and was curious about as I may buold in the velka 3 one day
@@petercruz1993 in the specs they mention max length is 150mm, that is almost impossible to find: unsure if they consider the full length or just the "bigger box" without the cable bracket.
@L91 Appearance wise, 2.1 is sleek and clean looking. The shiny front panel edge looks premium. The new black coating looks like bed liner paint imo. Also 3.0 white text on the rear looks bad, especially upside in the "correct" orientation. LED pushbutton is awesome for boards without any leds on them letting you know it is on. And 2.1 is technically smaller, so can't beat that. If 3.0 was smaller I'd really consider an upgrade. Also velka 3 is my dream case btw. Can't go wr9ng with the 3.0 either!
@@mauricobian can't argue with that, it would easily be missed by someone skimming the video, only listening to audio, and/or generally just not reading that closely.
@@hyperonestarcraftThe video explains how he’s done it as well. He’s set the voltage of -20 from base and then set a PPT limit of 75 on the chip. It would have been nice to see more gaming applications used here and the fps, I understand why temperature was a stat to focus on as it will always be the limiting factor in this instance
Thanks for video, you are one of the best channels on RU-vid covering SFF builds! As for Velka 3 - it is great case but kind of "suboptimal" for powerful gaming builds. One of my recent build was with modded RTX A4000 in case by Custom Mod - way better on both perfomance and temps, albeit slightly larger. PS. Sorry for possible mistakes, english is not my native language.
Thanks for the support. The A4000 is cool, but it costs near 4080 / 4090 price brackets. If you mean ADA SFF model. I'd sooner build in something a little bigger, like Velka 7.
@@L91I actually mean "old" A4000. I bought some of these from miners for about ~350$, swapped heatsinks and do some other mods. One of the best cards for SFF builds.
I am glad you made this very good video -- I will be following along as I make a build with the excellent Velka 3 (I am eagerly awaiting its arrival in the mail). Regarding the ZOTAC RTX 4060 Solo, a couple of users have mentioned that they had problems with the fan pressing against the side panel. Have you (or anyone that sees this) noticed any issues with the fan touching the side panel?
Great and best video yet for the smallest build. Do yo think a ryzen 9 7900X would do it in such small case factor? Any recommendations for the cooling if so? ...
Do you think the Colorful RTX 4060ti mini would fit in this case? Looking at the specifications it shouldn't but I know sometimes there are exceptions.
Any fitment issues with the modular psu? I really want to go for that psu since the only cables I’d be using would be the motherboard and cpu cables. I have the rtx 4000 sff so it’s pcie powered and I want to keep the cable managing as simple and clean as possible and the one provided by velka isn’t modular so I’ll be having cables that I won’t be using and taking up space. Edit: I’m currently in a formd t1 v2.0 and I have their light blue gen 4 riser cable. Do you think their riser cable will fit in this case? If you can, would you please test if the riser cable is doable in this case? I don’t have the velka 3 to do any testing so I’m just wondering. The case and psu is gonna cost quite a bit and I just want to save some cash.
The modular Flex-ATX worked fine in Velka 3. It was only Velka 5 I had some trouble with. As for the riser cable, I'll look into it and get back to you.
Hey sorry im a bit confused i have a motherboard mini itx pcie gen 3.0 and planning on putting a 4060 in it with the velka 3 case im just confused on which pcie cable to buy the 3.0 or the 4.0 do i have to buy for the same pcie of my gpu or motherboard ? Thanks !
You can use gen3 or gen4, it doesn't matter, atleast for now. Once you switch to pcie gen4 motherboard, you'll want 4.0 riser purely for compatibility protocol between hardware
Wouldnt it be better to downgrade the cpu to a 5800x3d or 7600 because of the heat? with lower heat and power consumption you can also replace psu fan. I did a similar build and used a silverstone 600w flex psu but the noise was pretty loud
I did mention that the system is best paired with R5 7600 or similar. Unfortunately, I don't have one. It's worth noting that the R5 7600 doesn't run cooler or draw any less power than 7800X3D. It's just better pairing value wise. The system shown is pretty quiet thanks to custom fan parameters.
@videosuu300 PSU fan is quieter than the rest of the system. It's only drawing around 200W and isn't heating up enough during gaming for the fan to need to ramp past wattage parameters. The ENP-7660B is relatively quiet PSU upto around 480W, unless the PSU is heating up to much, at which point it can become extremely loud at any wattage. SilverStone FX600 works exactly the same.
@L91 mainly the CPU but the GPU side gets hot as well. I double checked cpu paste and ramped up fan speeds. The holes in the side panels just don't allow enough heat to be pushed out. I got around this by cutting the panels in the shape of the fans. This is the second video I've found of this build where they have the PC running without the panels on for a reason.
@@busteddonutface8796 you realise Zen4 CPUs are intentionally designed to push and run themselves at their thermal limit. For 7600X, it's 95°C. There's no way to know if it's overheating from looking at monitoring software
