Finally, you have fixed the problem on the Lenovo M920Q, where the CPU power is limited to around 5W when a GPU card is installed. I found this issue discussed in many forums and noticed that several UA-cam channels struggled with it. I watched a few videos about installing a GPU on this tiny PC, and their CPUs were running at around 5W, resulting in game performance of only about 30fps. Well done, dude!
ETA prime basically re-did this video recently but he did give you a prominent recommendation and shout out. This is the first vid I’ve been served up from your channel by the YT Great Old Ones, so natch I liked it and subscribed on the spot. Nice production values, dig the semi ambient music at loooow volume, thanks be to Jeebus. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Really like the case you made and luv the Gigantor power supply from Lenovo. 👍
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the 3D printed case. Your support means a lot, and I’m excited to have you as a subscriber. Stay tuned for more builds and upgrades!
Great video and great solution!!! Too bad that the LP version of the rtx 3050 is WAY slower than the original 8 GB model that needs external power and has more streaming threads. BUT this is super impressive - congratulations on this build - remarkable!
I have the same setup i5 9500T + MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4G LP + ThrottleStop but I'm having bottleneck and cause network lag fro 2 to 5s on Warzone 2.0 and PUBG :) only on first drop. Good thing after lag it runs smoothly around 85% CPU usage. I used this mini pc for comshop gaming and arcade also 2.5 years now :)
The Dell Optiplex 7050 SFF (Small Form Factor) has a PCIe x16 slot, but it’s positioned quite close to the power supply unit (PSU). If you’re planning to install a GPU, consider using the available PCIe x4 slot instead. However, keep in mind that the Dell SFF chassis doesn’t provide ample room for airflow, especially for dual-slot GPUs. If you go ahead and install a dual-slot GPU, it might run too hot, resulting in increased noise and potential throttling of GPU performance. To play it safe, I recommend opting for a single-slot, low-profile GPU for your PC.
Brilliant! I have 2 Lenovo M720q. I have already upgraded them to have SSD and 16gb RAM. now I think a GPU upgrade is a must. Thank you for sharing! I hope you get a lot of blessings for sharing this. Thanks. Done Subbed
This is amazing, also earned a sub, keep up the great work! I have a question, would it be possible to fit an RTX 4060 LP in there, or not as it would require some kind of external power, would there be any solution to this?
Lenovo M920q/M720q do not support GPU cards or 65W CPUs by default. However, the Lenovo M920x and P330 Tiny (from the same series) can support 65W CPUs and 50W GPUs when paired with a 35W CPU. When a graphics card is installed in the Lenovo M920q’s PCIe slot, the BIOS limits the CPU power to around 5W, causing the PC to run very slowly. Therefore, I believe that installing an RTX 4060, which has a 115W TDP, would not be supported by the Lenovo M920q motherboard. This is because the motherboard cannot handle the power requirements for that GPU, as the CPU and GPU do not draw power directly from the AC adapter. Instead, the motherboard converts 20V DC to 12V, which limits its capabilities. Thank you
i think lenovo using their laptop power brick for their sff pc is kinda smart, now you can actually upgrade the gpu and not thinking about the that weird sff psu anymore
Great mod. Love how u do it, and how u explained it. With your permission i am gonna use your idea, we are letting go this year some lenovos thinkcenter with good cpu at work, and ill take one. The only different thing i would do is that there is a plastic yellow/orange colour very thin, which is used to prevent touching metals in electronics, i would go for that, its quite cheap, very thin, and its adhesive. Thats the only thing i would have done different. Other than that GREAT!!!! Ty for the idea and your video. U have won a subscriber for life.

I know you got this specific model of Lenovo because it is dirty cheap, but it would be nice to see the performance on an 11th gen or newer tiny PC with the same GPU.
Currently, I am working on the Lenovo M90q, which is powered by an Intel Core i5-10500T and an RTX A2000 12GB or RTX 3050 LP. It might not meet your requirements exactly, but it's close. You can check the progress on my channel's community post here: ua-cam.com/channels/BpFmXURDoUpKGj43Uot0Ag.htmlcommunity?lb=UgkxlrzBODcBEQAZRD2yt3pR0ehf1rZKSQsS
Unfortunately, the Lenovo M920q motherboard has only three holes for CPU cooler mounting screws, so we cannot install a standard CPU cooler on it since a standard CPU cooler has four screws. Thank you.
Can you please post the .step files for this, I want to make some mods of my own and it’s really hard with using just the stl files. Awesome video and you inspired me!
I bought it from a nearby computer shop for $45, and it’s the only one available in stock. So, whether it’s 135W or 230W doesn’t really matter-it only costs a few bucks more.

If you’re considering purchasing a compact Lenovo PC, I recommend opting for either the Lenovo M920X or the Lenovo P330 Tiny instead of the Lenovo M920q or Lenovo M720q. Here’s why: both the Lenovo M920X and the Lenovo P330 Tiny come with built-in support for 65W CPUs and graphics cards. That means you won’t need to tinker with anything-they’ll work right out of the box. all these model has physical the same. Thank you.
Love that little card it's so little Mormally I hate both 3050's 6GB and 8GB but damn I love the LP one I'd get one if I didn't already have a 6600 or if I was looking for an SFF build
The 3D printable file had some issues, which I have corrected. The updated version is now available on the Printables page. Please consider downloading the new file. Thank you.
@itggear3400 Thanks for the updated file. I saw Tins original design and wanted to change the top air vents like you did. So its perfect for me. Also I suggested he use Throttlestop in his original video 😊
Is there any way to deal with the power issue for the CPU being stuck at 5w on Linux, I was thinking about installing Steam OS and making it a steam deck style mini gaming PC.
I watched some videos on UA-cam where they stopped the BD-PROCHOT throttle via command prompt. I want to try it as well. Once I succeed or fail, I will update you with a follow-up comment. Thank you.
For the same price you could have bought a SFF computer such as the Lenovo V530S and saved all the 3D printing to make the case fit. You would also have a PCIe x16 port instead of a x8 port.
I loved the video and I would also like to do that since I have a ThinkCentre M920x Tiny, I don't know if I can also put a 3050 in it to improve it a little. Since it has an 8th Generation Intel i7 and 16 GB of ram memory. In addition, the case that was made in 3D printing is very good since you can put the 3050 in it, for example, and it has better air flow. In addition, in this video they tell you what you have to do and what you should buy, such as the adapter for the video card and the 230W AC adapter.
The AMD Radeon RX 6400 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 have some key differences. The RX 6400 has a faster GPU clock speed and lower power consumption, making it more efficient. However, the RTX 3050 offers significantly better performance with higher floating-point operations, more VRAM, and support for DLSS, which enhances gaming visuals and performance. If you’re looking for better gaming performance and features, the RTX 3050 is the superior choice.
Hey, just had a quick question about what you’re using to hold your screws in place. It seems like you have a piece that’s fixed to the screw holes so you can screw into something instead of plastic. Could you point me in the right direction to find those? I’m actually making the same unit right now as we speak, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
The diameter of the female srews hole is 4.7mm, so you can use Female Thread Brass Cylinder Knurled Threaded Round Insert Embedment Nuts, M3 x 5 x 5mm, and insert them using a soldering iron.
@ brilliant, I wasn’t even thinking about using a soldering iron to melt the plastic I was gonna use glue, but that works out even better and it makes it more permanent, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Also did anyone ever figure out how to make this work with Linux, and is there some sort of throttle pipe app available for Linux. I would love to make us into like a steam deck ish gaming console.
Is it possible to include a fan bracket on the 3d printed housing directly on top of the cpu? I was thinking a slim fan as exhaust. Sorry if the question seems foolish, never use 3d printer before.
I’ve also shared the 3D model file in Sketch format so you can modify it for your specific fan. To make it, we need to precisely measure the specific component that we want to add. Thank you.
I've posted various videos, including mini ITX builds, and this Lenovo M920q with RTX 3050 LP and 3D case is just an idea I wanted to bring to life. I understand not every idea will fit everyone’s needs, so if this one doesn’t work for you, please check out my mini ITX build videos. Thank you!
Is it okay to use the 170w or the 135w power adaptor? And is it okay if I use different riser than the one on the video? For example a x8 to x16 riser I need to PO first to buy that specific riser for lenovo and have to wait at least 2 months if I buy that model
The adapter used in this video is a 230W AC power adapter for Lenovo laptops. It is not compatible with HP products as it has a square pin. Please check the link in the video description for more details. It is an Amazon product that also provides detailed information about the product specifications and compatibility. Thank you.
Since there is ventilation on all sides, the CPU and GPU temperature and noise are not a problem. When gaming, the noise is similar to a laptop because it uses a blower-style CPU cooler. Thank you.
does this upgrade work on the 720q also? as i have researched it should have the same mobo. but i once saw someone posting about the 720q can only handle 55w gpu?
The Lenovo M720q also has a PCIe slot, so you can install a GPU card. However, this model does not support GPUs by default, and it will limit the CPU to run at very low power, causing the PC to run too slowly. Therefore, we need to use ThrottleStop to disable throttling. Thank you.
Sounds like a solid choice! The RX 6400’s low power consumption and slim design should fit perfectly without any modifications. However, it should work on the Lenovo M920x and Lenovo P330 Tiny only, as these PCs have ventilation on the top cover right above the GPU location. It should not work on the Lenovo M920q and Lenovo M720q. I’ve seen a few videos where people installed single-slot LP GPUs on the Lenovo M920q and had to drill many holes in the top cover to make the GPU temperature usable. This can seriously damage the PC more than using 3D printed materials, as we can always revert to the original housing at any time.
@@itggear3400 the closest available here is the p340 tiny so I will probably try it using that. Also I can just cut a large hole and slap on a magnetic dust filter on it
I have mine with a Yeston 1650 LP single slot. Looks just like a RX550 or RX6400. I'm even seeing a small single slot 1060 6gb start to surface on my AliExpress feed.
@@itggear3400 Lenovo ThinkStation P330 Tiny Top assemble 02CW663 I installed this top assemble on my m920. And I’m using rx6400. The rx6400 FAN and the hole on this assembly are misaligned.
I faced similar issues using an unreliable 230W power adapter that I got from China, which caused unexpected shutdowns. After switching to a new 300W AC adapter, my PC has been running stable with no more unexpected shutdowns. You might want to consider upgrading to a higher wattage power supply for better performance.
If it’s an SFF desktop like what you’re asking about, you don’t need to make any modifications. You just need to find a low-profile graphics card that is not too long, and is powered directly via the PCIe slot.
i have surface 8 (thunderbolt) ,,,i have PSU power and amd RX580 ,,,,how can i use external graphic without buy thunderbolt dock(not for sell in my country)

Daamm bro, i need help! want to built like you with rx6400, but pcei riser adapter (09Aj940) is not available in ma country by any means, can i go with " simple x8 to x16 riser cable" instead of this specific 09Aj940 part, will it work, will impact performance?? Please reply i want to build this 😢
The PCIe slot on the Lenovo M920q/M720q/P330 Tiny is not a standard PCIe slot. The first block of the PCIe slot is wider than a standard one, and the PCIe slot on the Lenovo M920q is shallower than the standard PCIe slot. The PCIe slot on Lenovo Tiny Gen5 is also different from the next generation. This means that you can only use PCIe risers for this PC generation, and you cannot use them with other PCIe slots, even for Lenovo, from different generations. Thank you.
es, however, if you don't have one yet and would like to try it, I would recommend buying a Lenovo M920x or Lenovo P330 Tiny. These tiny PCs come from the same series and are similarly priced, but they support a 65W CPU and a 50W GPU right out of the box
For Lenovo M920q and M720q, they do not support 65W CPUs. We cannot install any other CPU cooler because they use a 3-screw mounting hole, unlike a standard CPU cooler that uses a 4-screw mounting hole following the LGA CPU socket standard. Thank you.
@@itggear3400I want to create a plastic CPU bracket with a 3-hole mount using a 3D printer. This bracket will serve as an adapter to mount a 65W CPU coolers. thank you

Amazing video
Thanks for the visit
Incredible built, many thx for sharing!
Do you know how steam pubg is running on it?
Hey, just had a quick question about what you’re using to hold your screws in place. It seems like you have a piece that’s fixed to the screw holes so you can screw into something instead of plastic. Could you point me in the right direction to find those? I’m actually making the same unit right now as we speak, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
The diameter of the female srews hole is 4.7mm, so you can use Female Thread Brass Cylinder Knurled Threaded Round Insert Embedment Nuts, M3 x 5 x 5mm, and insert them using a soldering iron.
@ brilliant, I wasn’t even thinking about using a soldering iron to melt the plastic I was gonna use glue, but that works out even better and it makes it more permanent, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Also did anyone ever figure out how to make this work with Linux, and is there some sort of throttle pipe app available for Linux. I would love to make us into like a steam deck ish gaming console.
Good project, i wish i can build one for my brother haha.
You can do it!
I think, you need to sanding the surfaces of your new panels, and then paint it
I've updated this video with a new 3D print that improves print quality, as noted in the pinned comment. Thank you.
Amazing.
What wattage power adapter is needed for that setup?
The PC motherboard is designed for its 135W AC adapter; however, using a higher wattage adapter can provide better power stability and longevity.
When you use throttle stop. Do you have to disassemble it every you turn on and off the PC? Or is it a one time only?
We can set the startup app to run ThrottleStop when Windows starts, or we can activate it manually whenever needed.
Is it possible to include a fan bracket on the 3d printed housing directly on top of the cpu? I was thinking a slim fan as exhaust. Sorry if the question seems foolish, never use 3d printer before.
I’ve also shared the 3D model file in Sketch format so you can modify it for your specific fan. To make it, we need to precisely measure the specific component that we want to add. Thank you.
Where are the files
I think I will try to make this as my first pc build
@itgear did you use the 230w or the 300w PSU?
I use a 230W AC adapter. Thank you.
@@itggear3400 awesome thank you! Great project! Thank you for posting
Muy buen video Bro
Thank you for watching!
We are not able to install directly graphics card without external cable?
Nice!😎
You the ITGURU fr fr
I didn't get it, for what do you doing this?? This Computer are very noisy, and he have a giant power brick, may be just build a mini itx PC??
I've posted various videos, including mini ITX builds, and this Lenovo M920q with RTX 3050 LP and 3D case is just an idea I wanted to bring to life. I understand not every idea will fit everyone’s needs, so if this one doesn’t work for you, please check out my mini ITX build videos. Thank you!
Is it okay to use the 170w or the 135w power adaptor?
And is it okay if I use different riser than the one on the video? For example a x8 to x16 riser
I need to PO first to buy that specific riser for lenovo and have to wait at least 2 months if I buy that model
My laptop has a 45w i5 9300H and an 80W RTX 2060 and have a 180W power brick and it has been fine
What's the name of the adapter cord for that and in what wattage? I want to just buy the extension adapter to fit my hp power brick
The adapter used in this video is a 230W AC power adapter for Lenovo laptops. It is not compatible with HP products as it has a square pin. Please check the link in the video description for more details. It is an Amazon product that also provides detailed information about the product specifications and compatibility. Thank you.
Wow😮😮😮
what have you made from what 😮😮😮
I've recieved exactly the same, but want to fit with egpu. Got one R9 nano.
I use a M910x with Intel Gen9 i9 and RTX A2000 with one Slot cooler and undervolt Mod. OS is BazziteOS. Wifi 6E.
Its my TV Steam Box.
Can i buy this from you? Seriously?
Can rx6400 fit it?
Very likely rx is a WAY thinner card
It can do so easily, but isn't worth all the effort, tbh.
very good!
I want to have it
amazing, what about fam noise? too much?
Since there is ventilation on all sides, the CPU and GPU temperature and noise are not a problem. When gaming, the noise is similar to a laptop because it uses a blower-style CPU cooler. Thank you.
does this upgrade work on the 720q also? as i have researched it should have the same mobo. but i once saw someone posting about the 720q can only handle 55w gpu?
The Lenovo M720q also has a PCIe slot, so you can install a GPU card. However, this model does not support GPUs by default, and it will limit the CPU to run at very low power, causing the PC to run too slowly. Therefore, we need to use ThrottleStop to disable throttling. Thank you.
Rx 6400 with its low power consumption and slim af design might fit the case without any modifications.
Sounds like a solid choice! The RX 6400’s low power consumption and slim design should fit perfectly without any modifications. However, it should work on the Lenovo M920x and Lenovo P330 Tiny only, as these PCs have ventilation on the top cover right above the GPU location. It should not work on the Lenovo M920q and Lenovo M720q. I’ve seen a few videos where people installed single-slot LP GPUs on the Lenovo M920q and had to drill many holes in the top cover to make the GPU temperature usable. This can seriously damage the PC more than using 3D printed materials, as we can always revert to the original housing at any time.
@@itggear3400 the closest available here is the p340 tiny so I will probably try it using that.
Also I can just cut a large hole and slap on a magnetic dust filter on it
I have mine with a Yeston 1650 LP single slot. Looks just like a RX550 or RX6400. I'm even seeing a small single slot 1060 6gb start to surface on my AliExpress feed.

Lenovo ThinkStation P330 Tiny Top assemble 02CW663
I installed this top assemble on my m920. And I’m using rx6400. The rx6400 FAN and the hole on this assembly are misaligned.
@@forzaflyracer3473 I saw that 1060 too. It's very tempting! Hopefully some mobile chips can get recycled and put into other cards.
II put together this config with a2000 gpu, 135w power supply, I setup the PT, but as soon as i start a game, it turns off.
I faced similar issues using an unreliable 230W power adapter that I got from China, which caused unexpected shutdowns. After switching to a new 300W AC adapter, my PC has been running stable with no more unexpected shutdowns. You might want to consider upgrading to a higher wattage power supply for better performance.
An RX6400 will fit on the original case also right?
Yes, but the gap between the GPU and top cover is only about 2mm, so due to the lack of airflow, it will not be usable.
please sir, can you make it for HP Prodesk G4 400 SFF?? Thanks
If it’s an SFF desktop like what you’re asking about, you don’t need to make any modifications. You just need to find a low-profile graphics card that is not too long, and is powered directly via the PCIe slot.
When mom says we already have a Dell precision 3240 at home!
Jk aside great work
Any Amazon link for this lenovo
any way to remove the power limit in linux without throttlestop?
I believe it's possible. Let's test it. Once I confirm the problem is fixed, I'll let you know.
Wow! nice, I hav a m920q and this is a great idea, but, can you share the Aliexpress links, please

Daamm bro, i need help! want to built like you with rx6400, but pcei riser adapter (09Aj940) is not available in ma country by any means, can i go with " simple x8 to x16 riser cable" instead of this specific 09Aj940 part, will it work, will impact performance?? Please reply i want to build this 😢
The PCIe slot on the Lenovo M920q/M720q/P330 Tiny is not a standard PCIe slot. The first block of the PCIe slot is wider than a standard one, and the PCIe slot on the Lenovo M920q is shallower than the standard PCIe slot. The PCIe slot on Lenovo Tiny Gen5 is also different from the next generation. This means that you can only use PCIe risers for this PC generation, and you cannot use them with other PCIe slots, even for Lenovo, from different generations. Thank you.
@@itggear3400 thank you so much
That is some ROUGH 3D printing, I would ask whoever you hired for a reprint lol

Would I have to run ThrottleStop every time I turn on the PC?
es, however, if you don't have one yet and would like to try it, I would recommend buying a Lenovo M920x or Lenovo P330 Tiny. These tiny PCs come from the same series and are similarly priced, but they support a 65W CPU and a 50W GPU right out of the box
Is possible to put a normal i7 8700 (without T) in this PC if change cooler with something low profile?
For Lenovo M920q and M720q, they do not support 65W CPUs. We cannot install any other CPU cooler because they use a 3-screw mounting hole, unlike a standard CPU cooler that uses a 4-screw mounting hole following the LGA CPU socket standard. Thank you.
@@itggear3400I want to create a plastic CPU bracket with a 3-hole mount using a 3D printer. This bracket will serve as an adapter to mount a 65W CPU coolers. thank you
Can I buy it
I'm sniping for m920x now cost about 150$ but only with g5400 processor:/
Can You share Your stl?
I’ve updated the link for the 3D model files in the video description. Thank you.
Good news for you - you can change CPU later as they are socketed
