Just commenting to say I love your presentation. So nice to not be distracted constantly by slick editing and motion graphics, and a presenter trying to hold onto your attention. I much prefer everything demonstrated and explain in a clam, thoughtful, detailed way with your commentary.
I still think that FT03 Mini is the best sff case made to this date. It is smaller than Mood. Does not require a riser and can still fit mid to high tier PC components. On top of that, back then, they somehow managed to fit optical drive inside. I know it is not something super important nowadays, but for a HTPC it is a nice feature, if you have a lot of movies on DVDs, or you are using this as an emulation station.
But why? Just use windows and auto-login and auto-start Steam in Big Picture Mode. It gives you the SteamOS UI. But unlike SteamOS / Bazzite - you will not be restricted which games you can run. Look at proton db. There are THOUSANDS of games not working. Also new games / new patches - often are buggy and crash and need 1-3 days for patches to arrive. Imagine buying a new game and then needing to wait for days until proton gets fixed - while on windows you could be gaming already. For gamers windows is the only logical choice. ESPECIALLY if you like games like CoD, Fortnite, Blizzard games (3rd party launcher), Ubisoft games (3rd party launcher), etc.
@@m4ko288 Simple, I don't agree with the Microsoft Terms of Service for Windows. I am not a fan of how Windows acts in general, so I choose to not use it.
@@TeamLinux01 That doesnt change the FACT that Windows is simply superior as a gaming OS. In SOOO many ways. Also you - like everyone else - are using a smartphone. Which means you are giving up SO MUCH data already (24/7 real time location, your phone number, your email, your photos/videos, who you call, where you work, where you live, who are your family, who are your friends, who are your coworkers, etc). What would it even matter to you if your IP address and app-usage is shared with Microsoft ?!?! On a gaming system there is not much more sensible data then that. Maybe browser history? Your way of thinking is limiting yourself. You are so deep up your own butt that you would rather struggle 5 hours with a linux-kink which requires you to follow 48 step tutorials to MAYBE get something working then to just use windows. But to each their own. You keep struggling and fiddling and fixing and complaining about things on linux - and we gamers will simply turn on our machines and ACTUALLY GAME on them.
Sir, I have a request. I appreciate you doing a ton of content quickly. However, I have noted that this volume and speed comes with errors. Typos, narration mistakes, etc. Please take more time and concentrate on quality. I hesitate to bring this up, but the Thermalright/Thermaltake mistake was quite jarring. Thanks for all your time and work.
fighting games are locked at 60fps -- Gameplay considerations: Some fighting games use frames to measure the duration of attacks, recovery times, and other gameplay elements. Locking the frame rate at 60 FPS ensures that these measurements remain consistent and predictable, making it easier for players to execute complex combos and strategies.
I really like the Mood, but the changes I think would help would be to do similar panels like the rear all around, and allow for a spine adjustment for better GPU support. Then I think it would be an excellent case!
Lol at 2:47 I recognize that scepter screwdriver. Our shop used to use a lot of Pis for a contract. There was a time when we had hundreds of those things laying around.
That's an amazing system, and it's almost like mine, but I have the 7900XTX with the 7950X. The CPU is a bit of a hot boy, but as you showed if you give it a decent AIO cooler you can run it great.
Wow, that case looks very nice to build in. An all AMD build definitely deserves a Linux install, or perhaps HoloISO since you mentioned the living room. :0)
to be honest I wouldn't spend all that just to play at 1440p. the case is much suited for a home theatre set-up sitting next to a capable oled TV at 4k120.
Whenever I search for SFF power supplies someone always complains about coil whine. Even the Corsair SF750 has a lot of cw complaints if I google it. Do you have any recommendations? I would like a min-itx build, but was considering going for a mid-tower or something else that allows full atx PSU.
Just a little PSA about using it in Living Room and on Linux, if you gonna use it on a TV that has HDMI 2.1, don't be dissapointed, AMD doesn't work properly on HDMI2.1 and will fallback to HDMI2.0 meaning that you won't get Full RGB out of your OLED TV meaning you'll loose those OLED blacks, and VRR will be messed up
@etaprime When are you going to show the designs of the Ukrainian modder custmod? They are really insane... I have one of their 4.5L boxes and it's just a blast
this is basically a windows Series X with 96GB RAM, is it really worth building this for the living room rather than just getting a console? I doubt the overall cost will make this setup worthwhile, usually these modular setups tend to get expensive and wives are cultured enough to understand a man needs his living room gaming setup nowadays. Plus, cloud gaming, game streaming to save even more costs are all viable options too.
@@OverdosedCaffeine if you want to build it yourself I recommend you to watch videos about micro ATX builds, ATX are too big and ITX builds are too expensive
@@reiniermoreno1653 most informative, thank you my dude. I'm not sure if I'll go modular exactly but videos like this really motivate me to go for one.
That card is NOT a cut down xtx. The gre is a slightly faster 7800xt, but still gets decimated by the 7900xt. It is no where near the performance of an xtx
Those temps are horrible. That mesh provides very little airflow, you can get much better SFF cases, from the same company no less! Nice review though.
Why are they horrible? a stock 7950X is one of the worst CPUs possible for this kind of build, in Horizon it's using over 140W which is a lot. And the GPU seems cool.
Does the msi b650i edge wifi now ship with different packaging? I remember last year MANY MANY people were complaining about dead cmos bsttery due to cmps button being pushed during shipment.
I got the may 2024 manufactured unit. There are cut outs on the IO side preventing accidental cmos reset. I had similar concerns and yet went for it as it was the only am5 board available in my country. So far so good.
Come on man nobody plays with 1440p balanced FSR on a 7900gre and nobody plays COD with frame gen turned on. Still an interesting build. Love to see it
whats the build cost? have you used xbox gaming cloud beta? works great for me and I can use a lower spec design hardware to game for less than $20 a month.
