    I put a 6600 XT hellhound in mine, I swapped out the 6700 for a 6700K, not much of an upgrade but I'll take whatever I can, now I have Chimera OS installed and use this as a living room gaming PC works great for 1440p60. Completely happy but I just wish I could get faster memory speed they would actually work with the motherboard.

    Just a heads up for anyone planning on doing this upgrade. You will need a cutting wheel or some way to cut a small square that extends the hole where the old PSU was so you can access the power switch if installed fans down, or the Plug if installed fans up. Either way you will need to extend the PSU hole in the case.

    It is easy to mod the case so the psu does not choke when venting hot air outside. Did the same thing fits perfectly, but the pcie power for the gpu gets hit and pressed when the case closes. You can either cut a square out of the metal next to the ssd cage or use a 90 adapter to tilt the power plug down. 👍

    Hey! Thanks for making this - this was the video that convinced me to finally get into PC gaming. I recreated this build almost exactly, using a 7050 mini, i7 7700, 1660 super, and adding a 1TB M.2 SSD.
    The largest obstacle for making this work is simply drilling out that flat plate where the PSU sits. Once I cut that out, the 500W system sat in nicely and has plenty of room for cable management. Even with all the extras thrown in, the 7050 closes up no problem and is a perfect “sleeper” gaming pc.

      As for the GPU - the 7050 can fit a card that’s up to 221mm in length. An 8gb RX580 will just barely fit the space. I’d make sure the 3060 you purchase is less than 221mm.

    Ok I have a question. I just mounted a PNY GTX 1660 TI (about 9 1/2) card in my 7040 and I also bought this same PSU. Did you have to do some cutting to get the PSU mounted. Mine turns the PSU switch off when you try and screw that middle screw in to mount the PSU? What did you do to mount yours?

    • @labasrytas

      That PSU is loose, not even fixed with screws. The cut out for it is like half size.

    Hey guys so let me explain i have a cosair 650w psu and it has 24, 6+2 and others so the motherboard i want to connect to has 6pin only? Here is the thing:
    1) can i plug the 6pin on the 6+2 that is used for connecting GPUs on the motherboard?
    2) psu require the 24 pin to be connected for it to work right?
    3) arent i supposed to use 24 to 6 pin addapter? (Im having trouble funding it where i am and ordering is not cheap trust me)
    I want to know if i can plug in the 6+2 pin split that i know is used for GPUs to connect to the motherboard, the motherboard is HP EliteDesk 800 G1 MT motherboard since its 6 pin on the mobo.

    Can someone give me feedback on this. I want to build a budget pc that gets me 90 frames on like Minecraft with shaders on or games like cod. I know nothing about pc’s, I was wondering if there could be any issues and if there is can I fix it? If I get this I want to upgrade its internal parts, how upgradeable is this? I’ve heard about “bottleneck” and I think I remember the reason being the cpu holding it back. Can I upgrade the cpu in this?

    Some things are wrong, You are not explaining how to work all the cables of the PSU, also how did you secure the PSU to the case, second the FAN connected to the PSU must be running at full RPM, the noise must be anoying; after that the RAM, the speed of the ram and the limit of speed for DDR4 at 2400Mhz... few important things I guess. But the video has some good info.

    The video card that was in it was the MSI 1070 and with that side panel it was able to close
    For temporary GPU I gave him my Asus RX5500xt

    • @MarcelinoAzueta
      @MarcelinoAzueta 4 місяці тому

      That's a difficult one, case swap is a bit too complicated for OEM PC´s, you will have to do modifications to the new case, like hole drilling and stuff like that to secure the board into place, you will also have to forget about the I/O shield and leave that big open space where the peripherals be connected or make a custom one from 3D printing or get creative, there is also the fact that you will have to buy a backplate that fits the holes of the board for the CPU cooler in case you want to keep the stock one, or buy a new one that includes such backplate, because the stock one is screwed directly to the side panel of the original case, so as you can see, there is no such thing like "a case that works with the motherboard of a 7040 mt", if you want to install that board into a new case, you will have to do measurements and read the specifications for each case before buying one that is most "appropriate" to modify.

    Apex and lots of othersFPS games (like cod, valorant, cs go, ecc ecc) suffer so much and lose lots of performance if they are not installed in the main SSD.
    I have your same specs on a MSI Z170 with a gtx1660, games installed on a crucial p3+ , and I have capped Apex at 200fps because I have a 165hz monitor and is useless having more.
    Also I'm noticing your 6700 is not boosting to 4.0 GHz. There is a ton of optimization you can do and lots of performance you are leaving. This is a perfect machine to get on budget on competitive games.
    It needs only some more in depth optimization.
