Imagine making it like 27mm thick, while also having a battery, a keyboard and a SCREEN, in case you'd wanna use it on a trip or in starbucks... Oh wait, that reminds me something
I got a morefine ryzen 9 mini pc, the fan noise was absolutely insane. Sounded like a space ship taking off to do basic tasks. I ended up getting an ATX case and will never go mini again, not worth it for that kind of insane running noise.
@@arikowidtrash7074Same performance and much more compact. There is a $30 markup, but it is a very high quality card, it feels like a brick in your hand. Puts the manufacturing of something like a LP 1650 or 3050 to shame
@@arikowidtrash7074It's only a lil more expensive, for something so niche it's a good deal. Now the 4060 itself... Huge markup on that crappy card from nvidia. And SFF costs a lot more, it's everything else where you'll be paying a markup, not the 4060. Mobo, case, psu, etc,.
1. Great video, thank you. 2. It's easily one of the most attractive small form PC I have ever seen. It's beautiful. 3. If only the case was made of metal. 4. If only it was dark orange color. 5. If only I had more than 5 euros in my account! Then I would definitely build one such PC.
@@marcus-wv9ti around 1800 USD, but I payed 800 on top for shipping overseas from US and import tax (18% in my country). Funnily enough it is cheaper than buying a lower spec PC here locally.
@@wheezel55 I got an AMD 7600, these new AMD chips target 95c at full load, so no matter what cooler you have thermals will be the same lol. But if your cooling is good it will hit higher clocks at full load for longer. In my case I also undervolted the cpu quite a bit and it started getting slightly higher clocks. It's hard to measure that though, so I don't have exact numbers. As for gpu, 4070 is pretty efficient. I can play Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing and DLSS balanced for hours. I get around 100-120 fps (with frame gen, so really like 50-60). There is no throttling or anything, so the cooling is good enough. Thermals are not a problem, but noise might be.
your studio aesthetics is top notch . the way you captured is classic . even top tech people in youtube doesn't fits to your quality of your video. Great work.
You mentioned no softening or melting of the plastic but at 3:27 you can definitely tell some bending has happened on the right side of the entire build. It's quite glaring, but unassumingly you wouldn't find it. Once you see it you really cant "un-see" it.
More than likely happened during printing. Very common. Usually just bad bed adhesion and is solved easily with leveling, cleaning the bed plate, or using some type of glue adhesive on the bed plate.
Probably going to look into something like this as my reference build for what I want when it's time for a third build. Right now I'm rocking the Teenage Engineering Computer-1 case, with a 3060 inside.
UA-camr Optimum Tech modeled and assembled a 3D printed case of 2.7 liters volume with the same card, but this one is by far more aesthetic and elegant. Indeed the materials can be improved and optimized but I really like what they achieved here.
i had to watch your video to be sure it wasnt just mine. the additive manufacturing process means there will be *some* warp on the bottom of the case and maybe on the top since its a huge flat pane. I also have a 3d printer and it has an even worse warping problem than this when attempting similar surfaces. the fact they got it THIS flat as to minimize said warping is a testament to how professional these guys are.
Your channel has started my new hobby of building PC's and trying new cool pc builds for a hobby instead of gaming on them for the most part. Now, if I could only figure out cable management.
Bit late to this but the PSU should have a little more headroom if you're measuring off the wall socket directly. With the peak efficiency being at 94%, in theory you could pull power up to the point the reading hits 265W - probably a bit more though as PSU's generally arent as efficient at such high loads Awesome build though, glad to see more 3d printed cases are taking off as there's so much more potential for new stuff to come to market without the crazy expenses around full metal prototype builds
i think its mostly because they are hobbyists trying to be producers. As a hobbyist myself I get mad frustrated dealing with my own 3d printer, and you bet your ass I would charge someone as much as I think I could get away with when it comes to making me wait for a single thing to take damn near a whole day to print and I have to babysit it. I agree they should have the PETG injected into a mold though. Cuts down on price and saves hairpulling & time for everyone.
150 is downright reasonable for something this specific. The amount of demand for this specific style of case is nothing compared to something that fits a full size GPU and power supply at the cost of a few liters extra volume. When he said "made to order" i was immediately like "oh boy, this is gonna be expensive as f" but I was pleasantly surprised.

I've created mine. IT-X format, no GPU. I have it for what. 1 year now and it's been a really good partner, no breaking so far. I've printed it in ASA and it proves itself really strong. I travel with it 1-2 time a week in a backpack to go to work. I think about releasing the files really soon
2 days ago I lowered the volume of my PC from 35 to 14,3 L and now this... Come one man, mine build is with 4060 too. xD Love SFF builds, it looks so clean and portable.
Watching this, I could totally see similarities with Optimum Tech's vids especially in the presentation and style, and also in the scripts (I think I heard some familiar phrases also spoken by Ali on his sff build guide particularly on the intro for the pc components, dont know if its just me lol). Also, they both use 3D printers from the same brand (coincidence? idk). But anyways, the main distinction bet. this and Ali's sff builds is that Ali shows the use of modified components (e.g. perfect length cables, custom pcb controllers, 3D printed cases, etc.) whereas Devyn's builds focuses on PC's which you can simply buy the parts and build them yourself without the need for modifications. Although Ali does also have vids without the use of custom components. I would say I still prefer Ali's vids, but I dont have any qualms with getting inspiration (Its just the way the world works). Anyways, great vid and hope you continue with the creating great content.
There is a even smaller case that fits a 4060 plus HDplex the "Prototype SL3m 2.9L" from custom-mod its Size: 239 x 207 x 60mm (2.97L) Cooler: up to 39 mm PSU: HDPlex 250 GaN
Great review! I think 3D printed stuff is great because you can re-print it, this case is with very easy form so I can model and print it if it breaks.
I recently built a Yocto & Yocto+ using the same motherboard, but for the Gigabyte RTX 4060 LP, I used the N3rdware dual Noctua 60mm x 25mm fans to replace the OEM 3-fan shroud and I was quite impressed with the cooling with the GPU temps maxing out at about 75C. If interested, I have those builds listing on Facebook on the SFF Mini-ITX channel and a couple more computer channels. The only difference is instead of the i5-13400, I used the i5-13500T for the Yocto and i5-14600T for the Yocto+ as I wanted a lower power draw, lower heat CPU that works great for both productivity and gaming.
Hopefully they make a refreshed version of the case with a little bit more wiggle room for a extra fan and easy fit for the smaller 4060 rtx and better material against heat :)
If you’re interested in something smaller, the minisforum MS-01 can hold a single half height gpu, like the rx 6400, and comes in at less than 2 liters. It comes with a mobile cpu soldered to the board but the options are, a 12450H, 12900H, or 13900H. Not sure there are any better single slot low profile gpus though.
What's limits is he pushing? He's not doing anything but assembling off the shelf components. You should check out Optimum Tech he actually engineers and builds stuff.
I'm just here looking for the Optimum Tech comments lol. But honestly, nothing wrong with a lot of the aesthetics, cadence, and format like Ali (even if it wasn't the intention but so happens to come off that way), I also take notes from best practices of creators I like as well. As long as you provide good info, value, entertainment or whatever the goal of the video then that's fine. Don't have to reinvent the wheel.
This is awesome!! I really hope somebody makes a low profile or ITX-length 4070 Super. It’s such a powerful card for the amount of actual energy it takes to run.
Good and dense arrangement of parts, I like the design. Strict and minimalistic. The choice of CPU cooler is limited by height. There are rarely video graphics cards with a short metal part. Accordingly, the choice of a suitable video card is also very limited.
cool minimalist build thanks for sharing this is the first time I'm seeing a high end GPU that tiny! what would be so cool if this style case could either be milled out of a solid piece of aluminum or 3D metal printed. just a thought...
Great content, but try pls with lower tdp hungry builds with this 250W fanless hdplex. It is recommended to use PSU at max 80 percent of its max power supplied. There are 7840HS buil-in mobos in the market with lower TDP.
I'll sticky with my old Raven RVZ01B. It is almost 14 liters, but at least I can have the 7800X3D, 4080 Super in it and 16TB of Jellyfin media. But if I had lower requirements for a PC this would be a cool one.
the 250w is for output, given power supplies are about 80% efficient, you can assume that measuring at the wall that the unit is at max input at 120% rated output. On this unit its 300w.
I love the look of tiny cases, but they're too loud in my experience. I left my Louqe Ghost S1 because of the poor thermals and loudness required to keep the CPU and GPU cooled and got a Fractal North. It is silent most of the time, and I have no regrets. That tiny case certainly looks nice though!
Awesome build congrats!!! The only potential problem i see here is long term for the PSU! If you're an intensive gamer, constantly pushing the limits, the PSU might die after some months or even earlier! At least 300-350W is mandatory for a system with these specs to be safe in the long term. Now, if you go APU like a 8700G which i think should be the purpose of these tiny builds, then a 200-250W PSU is more than enough :D and i'm probably building one next year with ZEn5 APU!
Fyi I have had no problem under-volting the 65w 7600. Negative -30 is no problem however I toned it down to-25 as temps were perfect in a Densium with zotac 4070. For when you want as much HP as you get in sub 5l. This build is clean AF btw. Hopefully they release a steel version.
About that PSU and melting plastics.. I got a secondhand HDPlex 250W off from a seller who told had it powering a 1050ti inside a Nintendo 8bit housing and it still has some mysterious red markings on its one side, matching really well in the Nintendo-red plastic :D On my system its been powering a 1070 for a year already in open air build, dissipating some heat into aluminium rack its zip-tied to, works well.
I love these small PCs. I thought I had a pretty small build with the IQUNIX ZX-1 case. My case is 9.2L case which could fit 2.5x of the Yocto case. I put a i7-14700 and ARC A770 in my case so maybe the thermals work out better for me. ANyway nice build and nice review.
Perhaps some gold foil would help to dissipate the heat more evenly at the psu side, and would even fit the build (although its in the inside). Just a guess though.
This would be my dream PC! Have you ever seen the low profile single slot GTX 1070? Can't find it for sale anywhere but it would be interesting to see you make a video about that if you can find it anywhere.
I think you should try undervolting you GPUs in your builds. I think most sff builders are experienced enough to to this and it would add useful information
The thing is, with all cases on this channel that tried to utilize the Low Profile 4060, all were suboptimal because they completely block the airflow of this gpu. Having vertical fins on the heatsink, it pushes the air on two sides and it were always blocked in all cases featured here. However, there's one case that's actually MADE for the 4060 LP. It's the A24-v5. The panels are vented EXACTLY where they should, so the used warm the air of the gpu can leave the case instead of getting immediately blocked and trapped like here, and every other that was featured. For this reason, I think the A24-v5 is the best for the LP model (riserless, 70mm cpu cooling clearance, 3mm thick panels) and the Velka 3 is the winner for anyone having a single fan gpu.
@@devyn.johnstonThe riser is blocking it on the other side. Same with the Gemcase where the psu blocks it and with the HT5, it's the closed panel of the case itself. With the A24-v5, there's a vented line on the backside as well where the gpu exhausts, so that should result in even better temps at load scenarios and also could be layed horizontally like this one. It could prove to be a nice comparison and how sturdy it is, it's definitely up for travel. This video is great for mentioning how the i5 is more suitable for 40mm clearance - that's very useful for people getting inspired to tacke one of these compact cases. Keep up the good work:)
First video I have seen from you. On the Ryzen have you gone into the bios and set it to run in ECO mode before? Curious also then how the performance would stack against the intel chip. I know a lot of users run their Ryzen chips in ECO mode and say they only lose a bit of performance but the power draw and heat difference is pretty significant.
It's a beautiful case and I love going small but if I'm going small I'm not sacrificing my processor or my video card, at least not that much. I put a 4070 TI super in a Dan A4H20 and regret the fact that I didn't realize there was a 4080 super I could put in there. The biggest problem I have with this case is you're not going to put much of a processor in there with that small of a cooler nor get any serious video card in there. Still great for 1080p gaming though.
I'm sure applying an uv for the cpu and 4060 to help with the temps and tdp has crossed your mind. If we ever get a low profile 4060ti you could create quite the beastly box for sure. There's some embedded/nuc style boards worth looking over for future builds. Intel quit making nucs. But, they're still making oem boards. I've seen some nice embedded Ryzen 7000 boards. For full on desktop performance the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D (16c/32th) at 55w would be an absolute beast (albeit overkill) for these kinds of builds. V-cache on 6 and 8 core mobile would be ideal.
How about a mini pc build with passive cooling with thunderbolt4 or occulink. Giving users options for silent day to day tasks and gaming loud when needed.
I feel like you can probably make this case yourself, it's so simple and you can outhouse the 3dprinting and machining of the brass parts... you just need to know how to make a 3d modell...
I wish more people advocated for being able to plug the GPU into the single PCB riser in a way the pci fingers can intrude into the motherboard IO. Asrock has boards like this right now, but there's no specific info why.
a mod they can do for the case is covering the sides of the holes with brass and having a lane of brass that runs all across the inner sides of the case. This way the case will act more like a heatsink and it will also look a bit mor cool in my opinion. It will obviously increase the price, but since in this niche is fine spending 150 bucks for a case then why don't have a 170/180 bucks case that has this truly valuable plus?
What are your thoughts about the Minisforum motherboards with built in Laptop CPUs? Would be interesting to see a mini ITX build with the 4060 with one of those like the AR900i which is a 24 core i9.
Can't wait for the Ryzen 9000G (or whatever name they give it) comes out. It should be comparable to a 4060, apparently. Then you'll do some crazy magic!
My gaming pc is giagantic^^ I use the same case for around 18 years now. The good thing is it has big Fans that are really quiet. The gpu is the loudest part in my computer. I love these mini pcs that you show in your videos. I want to build one that i want to use as htpc and as gaming pc for my wife. So i want something i can easily just take and move from the living room to my gaming room. The thing is that a lof of cases are not available or super expensive here in germany. Also i dont have a big budget for this build. I think i should not choose a low profile GPU-case. Its easier to get a short single fan GPU. I have a gtx 1060 here for start, so i can upgrade later. I dont need wifi but i think all the mainboards have it. I prefer intel over amd for this build. I will search more. Till now i just found at amazon a case for 103€ from JOYJOM. Its 4.3 liter It comes with riser cable. Do you know this case? Do you think its a good choice? Thanks for your videos :)

Great content, but try pls with lower tdp hungry builds with this 250W fanless hdplex. It is recommended to use PSU at max 80 percent of its max power supplied. There are 7840HS buil-in mobos in the market with lower TDP.
The best SFF PC channel hands down!
Awesome build! Thx bro, i want assemble too looks like this project
I'll sticky with my old Raven RVZ01B. It is almost 14 liters, but at least I can have the 7800X3D, 4080 Super in it and 16TB of Jellyfin media. But if I had lower requirements for a PC this would be a cool one.
I sent you adoption papers. Bring the pc with you
the 250w is for output, given power supplies are about 80% efficient, you can assume that measuring at the wall that the unit is at max input at 120% rated output. On this unit its 300w.
I love the look of tiny cases, but they're too loud in my experience. I left my Louqe Ghost S1 because of the poor thermals and loudness required to keep the CPU and GPU cooled and got a Fractal North. It is silent most of the time, and I have no regrets. That tiny case certainly looks nice though!
Awesome build congrats!!! The only potential problem i see here is long term for the PSU! If you're an intensive gamer, constantly pushing the limits, the PSU might die after some months or even earlier! At least 300-350W is mandatory for a system with these specs to be safe in the long term. Now, if you go APU like a 8700G which i think should be the purpose of these tiny builds, then a 200-250W PSU is more than enough :D and i'm probably building one next year with ZEn5 APU!
i hope you post the total expense too cause it's a drag too go all over the links just to see it's over your budget
Fyi I have had no problem under-volting the 65w 7600. Negative -30 is no problem however I toned it down to-25 as temps were perfect in a Densium with zotac 4070.
For when you want as much HP as you get in sub 5l.
This build is clean AF btw. Hopefully they release a steel version.
this is so cool! love how much work your putting in to give us all the information about the build
This is Awesome man I was gonna buy a laptop but I think in m just gonna build a small pc.
That's sick. For me to archive "small" gaming pc, I modded thinkstation p360 ultra with rtx 4060 low profile make it very small.
About that PSU and melting plastics.. I got a secondhand HDPlex 250W off from a seller who told had it powering a 1050ti inside a Nintendo 8bit housing and it still has some mysterious red markings on its one side, matching really well in the Nintendo-red plastic :D On my system its been powering a 1070 for a year already in open air build, dissipating some heat into aluminium rack its zip-tied to, works well.
That looks like a classy little case
I love these small PCs. I thought I had a pretty small build with the IQUNIX ZX-1 case. My case is 9.2L case which could fit 2.5x of the Yocto case. I put a i7-14700 and ARC A770 in my case so maybe the thermals work out better for me.
ANyway nice build and nice review.
Perhaps some gold foil would help to dissipate the heat more evenly at the psu side, and would even fit the build (although its in the inside). Just a guess though.
This would be my dream PC! Have you ever seen the low profile single slot GTX 1070? Can't find it for sale anywhere but it would be interesting to see you make a video about that if you can find it anywhere.
Definitely one of the nicest looking mini ones I’ve seen
I think you should try undervolting you GPUs in your builds. I think most sff builders are experienced enough to to this and it would add useful information
The thing is, with all cases on this channel that tried to utilize the Low Profile 4060, all were suboptimal because they completely block the airflow of this gpu. Having vertical fins on the heatsink, it pushes the air on two sides and it were always blocked in all cases featured here. However, there's one case that's actually MADE for the 4060 LP. It's the A24-v5. The panels are vented EXACTLY where they should, so the used warm the air of the gpu can leave the case instead of getting immediately blocked and trapped like here, and every other that was featured.
For this reason, I think the A24-v5 is the best for the LP model (riserless, 70mm cpu cooling clearance, 3mm thick panels) and the Velka 3 is the winner for anyone having a single fan gpu.
It has ventilation on the side and bottom of the gpu - imgur.com/V8PYrFo
@@devyn.johnstonThe riser is blocking it on the other side. Same with the Gemcase where the psu blocks it and with the HT5, it's the closed panel of the case itself. With the A24-v5, there's a vented line on the backside as well where the gpu exhausts, so that should result in even better temps at load scenarios and also could be layed horizontally like this one. It could prove to be a nice comparison and how sturdy it is, it's definitely up for travel. This video is great for mentioning how the i5 is more suitable for 40mm clearance - that's very useful for people getting inspired to tacke one of these compact cases. Keep up the good work:)
Dude this is amazing🔥
How much was this build
First video I have seen from you. On the Ryzen have you gone into the bios and set it to run in ECO mode before? Curious also then how the performance would stack against the intel chip. I know a lot of users run their Ryzen chips in ECO mode and say they only lose a bit of performance but the power draw and heat difference is pretty significant.
It's a beautiful case and I love going small but if I'm going small I'm not sacrificing my processor or my video card, at least not that much. I put a 4070 TI super in a Dan A4H20 and regret the fact that I didn't realize there was a 4080 super I could put in there.
The biggest problem I have with this case is you're not going to put much of a processor in there with that small of a cooler nor get any serious video card in there. Still great for 1080p gaming though.
I'm sure applying an uv for the cpu and 4060 to help with the temps and tdp has crossed your mind. If we ever get a low profile 4060ti you could create quite the beastly box for sure.
There's some embedded/nuc style boards worth looking over for future builds. Intel quit making nucs. But, they're still making oem boards. I've seen some nice embedded Ryzen 7000 boards.
For full on desktop performance the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D (16c/32th) at 55w would be an absolute beast (albeit overkill) for these kinds of builds. V-cache on 6 and 8 core mobile would be ideal.
Little bugged I can't just buy the STL and print this myself, but pretty cool case.. most likely will be my living room HTPC setup
That’s a really lovely case. Good build
Hey Devyn! For builds like these, it's recommended to undervolt both CPU and GPU, right? Was wondering if it was considered hehe.
underrated youtuber
How about a mini pc build with passive cooling with thunderbolt4 or occulink. Giving users options for silent day to day tasks and gaming loud when needed.
Amazing build! Can I know the length of your custom cables?
10cm for the gpu, 20cm for the 24 pin, 30cm for the cpu. They’re available at n3rdware.com/accessories/custom-hdplex-cables
I thought I’d only be watching Optimum Tech with realistic SFF builds. Glad I found this channel :)
I built the velka 3, in a similar way to yours. With the addition off a 2.5" ssd that you can fit between the 1U PSU and the case.
Amd 7xxx series boost until they hit 90c, if they can, you can change that in bios if you don't like it.
Assuming this is slightly bigger than optimums build but the plus side is you can buy everything without the need for a 3d printer etc.
they're the same size
Dude! Outstanding build!
Id love to see this guy and optimum geek out idk why😂
I feel like you can probably make this case yourself, it's so simple and you can outhouse the 3dprinting and machining of the brass parts... you just need to know how to make a 3d modell...
I wish more people advocated for being able to plug the GPU into the single PCB riser in a way the pci fingers can intrude into the motherboard IO. Asrock has boards like this right now, but there's no specific info why.
You can place heat resistant/reflecting tape on the inside of the chassis, around the PSU
I dont think insulating the PSU would be smart
a mod they can do for the case is covering the sides of the holes with brass and having a lane of brass that runs all across the inner sides of the case. This way the case will act more like a heatsink and it will also look a bit mor cool in my opinion. It will obviously increase the price, but since in this niche is fine spending 150 bucks for a case then why don't have a 170/180 bucks case that has this truly valuable plus?
The smallest case that can possibly fit a LP 4060, is the J-HACK Pure MK2. Unfortunately they seem to have been discontinued...
The Finals looks so slick
Should do a collab with DIY Perks!
What are your thoughts about the Minisforum motherboards with built in Laptop CPUs? Would be interesting to see a mini ITX build with the 4060 with one of those like the AR900i which is a 24 core i9.
Just get a laptop....
Can't wait for the Ryzen 9000G (or whatever name they give it) comes out. It should be comparable to a 4060, apparently. Then you'll do some crazy magic!
Thank you very much. A quite interesting build. I look forward to learning more about these small builds.
Awesome build👍👍
You are a PRO. Thank you!
My gaming pc is giagantic^^ I use the same case for around 18 years now. The good thing is it has big Fans that are really quiet. The gpu is the loudest part in my computer.
I love these mini pcs that you show in your videos. I want to build one that i want to use as htpc and as gaming pc for my wife. So i want something i can easily just take and move from the living room to my gaming room.
The thing is that a lof of cases are not available or super expensive here in germany. Also i dont have a big budget for this build. I think i should not choose a low profile GPU-case. Its easier to get a short single fan GPU. I have a gtx 1060 here for start, so i can upgrade later. I dont need wifi but i think all the mainboards have it. I prefer intel over amd for this build.
I will search more. Till now i just found at amazon a case for 103€ from JOYJOM. Its 4.3 liter
It comes with riser cable.
Do you know this case? Do you think its a good choice?
Thanks for your videos :)
I wish the Yocto+ had room for a 52mm CPU cooler. Would have helped a lot.
Thats literally my laptop, a 4060, 13th gen i5 and similar size
yours comes with a screen, keyboard, trackpad, and a battery.
