Thanks for video, you are one of the best channels on UA-cam covering SFF builds! As for Velka 3 - it is great case but kind of "suboptimal" for powerful gaming builds. One of my recent build was with modded RTX A4000 in case by Custom Mod - way better on both perfomance and temps, albeit slightly larger. PS. Sorry for possible mistakes, english is not my native language.
Thanks for the support. The A4000 is cool, but it costs near 4080 / 4090 price brackets. If you mean ADA SFF model. I'd sooner build in something a little bigger, like Velka 7.
@@L91I actually mean "old" A4000. I bought some of these from miners for about ~350$, swapped heatsinks and do some other mods. One of the best cards for SFF builds.
I am glad you made this very good video -- I will be following along as I make a build with the excellent Velka 3 (I am eagerly awaiting its arrival in the mail). Regarding the ZOTAC RTX 4060 Solo, a couple of users have mentioned that they had problems with the fan pressing against the side panel. Have you (or anyone that sees this) noticed any issues with the fan touching the side panel?
Do you think the Colorful RTX 4060ti mini would fit in this case? Looking at the specifications it shouldn't but I know sometimes there are exceptions.
Hey sorry im a bit confused i have a motherboard mini itx pcie gen 3.0 and planning on putting a 4060 in it with the velka 3 case im just confused on which pcie cable to buy the 3.0 or the 4.0 do i have to buy for the same pcie of my gpu or motherboard ? Thanks !
You can use gen3 or gen4, it doesn't matter, atleast for now. Once you switch to pcie gen4 motherboard, you'll want 4.0 riser purely for compatibility protocol between hardware
Great and best video yet for the smallest build. Do yo think a ryzen 9 7900X would do it in such small case factor? Any recommendations for the cooling if so? ...
Any fitment issues with the modular psu? I really want to go for that psu since the only cables I’d be using would be the motherboard and cpu cables. I have the rtx 4000 sff so it’s pcie powered and I want to keep the cable managing as simple and clean as possible and the one provided by velka isn’t modular so I’ll be having cables that I won’t be using and taking up space. Edit: I’m currently in a formd t1 v2.0 and I have their light blue gen 4 riser cable. Do you think their riser cable will fit in this case? If you can, would you please test if the riser cable is doable in this case? I don’t have the velka 3 to do any testing so I’m just wondering. The case and psu is gonna cost quite a bit and I just want to save some cash.
The modular Flex-ATX worked fine in Velka 3. It was only Velka 5 I had some trouble with. As for the riser cable, I'll look into it and get back to you.
Wouldnt it be better to downgrade the cpu to a 5800x3d or 7600 because of the heat? with lower heat and power consumption you can also replace psu fan. I did a similar build and used a silverstone 600w flex psu but the noise was pretty loud
I did mention that the system is best paired with R5 7600 or similar. Unfortunately, I don't have one. It's worth noting that the R5 7600 doesn't run cooler or draw any less power than 7800X3D. It's just better pairing value wise. The system shown is pretty quiet thanks to custom fan parameters.
@videosuu300 PSU fan is quieter than the rest of the system. It's only drawing around 200W and isn't heating up enough during gaming for the fan to need to ramp past wattage parameters. The ENP-7660B is relatively quiet PSU upto around 480W, unless the PSU is heating up to much, at which point it can become extremely loud at any wattage. SilverStone FX600 works exactly the same.
@L91 mainly the CPU but the GPU side gets hot as well. I double checked cpu paste and ramped up fan speeds. The holes in the side panels just don't allow enough heat to be pushed out. I got around this by cutting the panels in the shape of the fans. This is the second video I've found of this build where they have the PC running without the panels on for a reason.
@@busteddonutface8796 you realise Zen4 CPUs are intentionally designed to push and run themselves at their thermal limit. For 7600X, it's 95°C. There's no way to know if it's overheating from looking at monitoring software
Thank you for covering the Velka 3. It’s been one of my favorites since the V1. I don’t think Velka gets the recognition they deserve
Man. I would love that PC so much... it's small but still packing serious power.
2.1 is a better case than 3.0 IMO. I'm so happy that this rare occasion of something I own has a new revision that is worse than the one I own.
Thanks for the response. What makes v2.1 better? Just curious.

7800x3d and a noctua NH-L9A-AM5 ? Their website says that cooler can't even handle the base clock.
Something is wrong.
The specs list in the video says the Ryzen 7 7800X3D used in the build has been "optimized". I assume that involved curve adjusting and undervolting.
He should highlight that in case someone goes on and doesn't "optimize"
@@mauricobian can't argue with that, it would easily be missed by someone skimming the video, only listening to audio, and/or generally just not reading that closely.
hypotheticly does 7800x3D have any power gain over the 7600x?

Awesome, a real SFF build!
Excellent stuff
Great video as always.
could you theoretically go with am4 and a r5 5600? would the card performance be affected?
Are the feet magnetic? or did you screw them on the case itself? Thanks,
Also curious about this! Did you ever figure it out?
I am also curious
never owned this case but i thinks its just adhesion
Awesome video! I have mine on order. Please show the 5mm offset and how it looks.
Hi, great build!
What power cord have you used for the PSU ?
(the site states that the power cord is not included for this psu)
3 pin. you can buy one in many shops.
Where did you get your custom length cables from? And can you give me the lengths for each??
These come with PSU: www.geeekstore.com/shop/enhance-enp-7660b-600w-black-flex-atx-modular-power-supply/
Could you maybe drop a parts list? I can't find the video card or the cpu cooler
In the video description.
ooooooff!! Can't they just make a rtx 4070 to fit in here!?!? That would be amazing
Just got the velka three with the enp 770 any idea why my psu won't turn on? Trouble shot with my old PSU and it turned on fine.
I guess you got it sorted ;)
no worries, velkase will send you a new one

I've no experience with that CPU, but with enough power limiting, anything can work. Especially for gaming.
Hi, Do you know if the Alpenfohn Black Ridge CPU cooler would fit in this case?
It would not, only supports coolers upto 37mm. BR is 47mm tall.
How did you get the front plate on without causing the PSU board to bend really bad?
is there and alternative riser cable lets say in black to fit the black theme
