Someone on reddit mentioned this exact PSU blew his PC in the summer time when his room got really hot. Sweet build, I love the size of Flex/HDPlex power units but SFX is just more reliable.
@@gigi_jwz at 500w though, that's the concern. Until recently, if you wanted even 300w, you were paying $100 for that form factor. But now it's half the price with almost double the output? Nah, not quite buying it yet, lol
@@patsy02 I don't see this PSU in his channel when searching. Care to tell me the title of the video? I got the same PSU recently so I'd like to confirm if I have to return it.
Hmm... feel like that CPU is a bit overkill for this build, something cheaper would run the same since it's bottlenecked by the GPU and limited cooling.
@@crystallakedood still cool to see the max these systems can do though. Like can it do 6x resolution scaling on dolphin, or how well can it run more advanced emulators like rspcs3?
The 4060 is an awful GPU, but it's legit awesome for this case. I really wish they could make a 4070S variant in this size, even at reduced power usage.
9700X maxing out at 88W is normal; the "65W" AMD CPUs don't pull that little anymore & their new standard max TDP is 88W as even my 5600X does the same
ETA Prime, Let's not normalize frame generation in benchmarks unless we are hitting above 120fps. (that's when it starts to make sense and input lag isn't much of an issue) Personally I only use it if I can hit ~80fps in order to hit 170Hz. In that scenario, that's when the latency feels similar to a game running at 60fps. When you are running it at ~40fps base framerate that's when it is starting to feel REALLY sluggish
I disagree, if it's a way to get acceptable performance on the cheap have at it if the only alternative is to no build because you can't afford faster hardware. Your own eyeballs and no one else's are the only ones that count.
@@dlewis9760 Gaming on these small build should be a small alternative. Not main focused. They're not meant for gaming at all even when it has "gimmicks". There's another alternative and has better performance using the same price point.
@@ArdenictDLSS is a different story from frame gen, you can’t tell the difference at all using quality mode on 90% of games unless you take screenshots and zoom in, frame gen on the other hand is a garbage and should be put last in benchmarks if included at all because it essentially gives you a worse experience when enabled
Good build but realistically few people are gonna use a system this small for any serious productivity given how limited the storage options and cooling capacity are. For gaming with a 4060, the 9700X is no faster than a $130 Ryzen 7500F so that's what I would go for to save $230. If you actually want to use it for productivity, a 16-core would completely overwhelm the cooler unless power limited to 100W at which point it'd only be slightly faster than a 12-core with the same power limit. So the absolute highest that makes sense with one of these would be a power-limited 7900(X) given it's much faster than the 9700X at the same price.
wow, i saw this and i told myself wow, what a nice build, the gpu fan can perform better if it has some space if the case is raised a but by a rubber spacer 🎉
The low price on that PSU makes me very suspicious. 500 wats modular on that format size at that price is just not possible, so it has to be a shitty PSU.
I was looking to do a 4070 Super build with the S300 case, but now I'm thinking about just stealing this and downgrading from a 3080 just for the mobility.
Thinking a bit ahead... how easy it is to replace cmos battery in this motherboard ? How do you remove the plastic shround/IO heatsink ? I can not seem to find any info about this. All I have noticed is that battery is tucked away behind the plastic cover & WIFI antena module.
So this is a what, $1200 build all together? Maybe a little less if you go 6000mHz on the ram, settle for a 7700x and only 1tb boot drive. And it’s posting figures like that?!? That’s wild for such a small PC and honestly, would still be impressive if it was a full size for the price. Too bad I don’t have the dosh for a PC like that (or any pc right now) because I think that would be a nice solid build for atleast the next few years of casual gaming and whatnot.
This is a nice build i may very well copy. Didn't know you could find power supplies in that form factor at that price especially compared to HDPLEX's 500W
I wonder if you could jam that into an Optiplex SFF to reclaim enough space to put a dual slot card in? Sure you'd need adapter cables but that's normal.
The A07 Mini ITX case is much smaller than 4.3 liters, with a standard dual GPU slot and the same 1U PSU slot, but it requires a riser, which this one has free PCIe 3.0.
I hope to see this review done again once the new AGESA Patch A comes out that bumps the TDP from 65w to 105w. To see how much the performance changed.
Set Curve Optimiser to -20 all core, PBO power to Motherboard and set max thermal to 75C and you will have nice boost in performance with this CPU and it wont go over 75C, pretty much the same for the 7600X/7700X/9600X as well.
Just curious. You mention about the wattage being lower than expected. Were you able to increase the wattage on the board and did you see an appreciable improvement in performance?
I have something like that, 5800x3d+b550 itx board, then I swapped it to B650+7500f. Cooler exactly the same. So I disappointed a little with such small builds, its noisy and heating a lot. So next step for me is custom water loop for CPU and GPU and may be some custom case. For now I don't see any other way to create small and quite PC without overheating and thermal throttling
thats so cool im calling first dibs on this haha thats such a amazing little pc i want to make one! im just wondering but how much does this build cost $ start to finish?
I am still mad there there aren't many (or non) itx cases like this that would still have that slim-slot optical drive. It would be ideal for HTPC / Emulation station.
@@LPgmxDan As far as I am aware, PS 1 & 2 games can be 100% played on a PC emulator using original CD/DvDs. PS3 however uses different encoder so only some DVD & Bluray drives can read those discs. Having optical drive in HTPC has more to do with picture quality as oddly, movie on a Bluray will still provide superior 4K picture quality vs 4K streaming services. Edit: I found that apparently you can emulate PS1, PS2, PSP, Gamecube and Wii games using original game discs. I am not sure however how you would read UMD disc (PSP) ona PC, as far as I am aware there weren't any PC UMD readers ever made, so I think that in that case, the emulator is using actual PSP's UMD reader connected via USB.
For some reason I just don’t trust the mounting solution for the PSU in this style of case. It isn’t held in by screws, just plastic tabs held under tension.
I have 4070 super, 2 3080 super and a old 2080 super xc hybrid...and the 2080 xc hybrid could easily run 1440p games on high everything...I'm confused on why you think a 4060 can't run 1440p easy?..
@@joegalloway1613 it can reach 60fps, it will have even more on older titles but on many newer games it will be even under 60. is this easy? sure, it will work, but nobody buys 1440p60 monitors, and that card will hardly get close to high frame rates on 2k without dlss and framegen. 4060 is just 3-5 frames faster(if) then 6600xt. those are not 1440p cards, those are good if not great 1080p cards.
@dim3nt0 so new COD 120fps on a 2080 super xc hybrid at 1440p plays pretty good but true as the newer games come out it will be harder to push to those fps. But we talking a 4060 if my 2080 super xc hybrid is hitting 120 fps I'm sure a 4060 got it. I know my 4070super and 3080super destroys games at 1440p with Intel I9 12th gen and a the other Ryzen 9 5950x
@dim3nt0 my 2080 super xc hybrid is paired with a 10th gen I9 and it does great on fps shooter with up into the 100 on most big name cod Battlefield apex siege insurgency sandstorm and list goes on
That RAM seems to be wasted on AM5 builds. You shouldn't be running anything higher than 6400mts, otherwise wont be able to set the RAM at a 1:1 ratio.
Am I missing it or was it not included in video, cost of parts together for the build. I feel you would appreciate putting that in your videos as time goes on keeping track of it. Prices do vary and change over time for sure but a ballpark would be a extra pulling point for some, nothing to indepth needed as you already have it just put it in video like your other facts. Would be cool
How was the sound when it ramped up? I was thinking about building something like this, but I'm worried that the sound will be loud on that CPU fan when it ramps up.
You say you think Cyperbunk was looking great, but all I'm seeing is a blurry mess. Did you leave motion blur on or is this a frame gen artifact? Anyway I wouldn't want to play the game if it's that blurry.
I don't get it? You've got plenty of room for a full sized computer and you chose to knee cap performance and cooling capability's by building a small on instead.
looks like you may need to redo your benchmarks with the recently discovered windows 11 admin account performance bug discovered on RU-vid channel Hardware Unboxed
This is a bad case...so many better alternatives and cheaper. For over $100.00 you don't get USB ports in the front or audio jacks. I do like the power supply orientation. That should be standard instead of having it on the bottom.
@@ETAPRIME I agree with you but artic cooling aio have improved with cooling quality and temperatures for a small price np. 240 mm poland have low price but other country i dont look.
@@ETAPRIME I have a question for you about power supplies, I have a flex power supply, the normal 600 watts, it will fit into the housing in which you put your power supply because I know that there is another version, flex mini, I think.
Is there any reason you couldn't mod the case to allow a SP GPU to stick out of the "top" panel? Maybe 3d print some side panel extensions to move the whole top panel out and incorporate a spot to anchor the GPU? Wouldn't this open up some option for better and cheaper GPUs?
@@legart4507 i think he has a temp limit enabled there, cause i limit my temp also, 70 Celcius max and it won't go further than that, and yes i also use 7500F
@@johbyuhan The 13th & 14th gen Intel CPUs have really bad problem with oxidation where a tiny copper piece vapourizes itself due to the high voltage & wattage thus resulting in high instability of the CPU causing an unfixable problem which more & more people are experiencing; once you're affected there is nothing you can do other than to send the CPU for RMA as it's pretty much just e-waste at that point
I order a Mini ITX board at amazon, new. I got a used one with no I/O plate. No antena no nonthing. I send it back to amazon. got a refund. Amazon sold it as new. when it was used. and maybe bad. But I still want to make a small PC like this one day.
