so two things: 4:28 Thanks for making this part. I was actually banned from a computer building forum (BuildAPC reddit) for spreading misinformation. I told them that using a higher wattage power supply will lower your system's efficiency. Here, you proved I was telling the truth. Using a 300W gold PSU to save 40 watts is pure genius!!! 15:49 For the next generation of computer parts, can you-- get a cameraman? I want to watch you set up the entire solar panel and the battery/inverter setup. I want to see the machines being plugged in. A few more diagrams couldn't hurt. All of the footage was filmed at a computer desk. I want to more outside thanks!!!
I salute you for this, man. As an electrical engineer with a passion for electronics and computing, this is exactly my cup of tea! Also, wonderful video quality and content creation.
You can get rid off the AC to DC efficiency lost by eliminating the normal ATX psu and by using a DC-ATX psu instead. HDPlex is known for making this kind of psu.
@@johnrobertelardo9787 More efficient if he can pull DC from that solar generator or some PD. Skip the DC-AC-DC heat waste and conversion loss. Most of those do AC or USB up to 100, sometimes 140w. There is a 12v car port on it so I'm sure there is a way, but might only be 10 amps so 120w max. I'm doing this for a battery bank I made but I added a boost from 12v to 24v so I can get 140w directly to my little rig. I do have some usb-c on it that can do 100w as well, but I wanted to add an RX6400 and eventually an RTX2000 that will push this to 135w max.
Great video mate haha It was a great thought provoking experiment. I like your scientific approach! We need a part 2 for a power efficient PC that can handle modern games at 1440p ;)
No it's not a bad idea. I plan to live in a motorhome and do a full solar setup with inverter and batteries that will last 12 hours and do around 800w solar charging. All I'll have to do is take a break from gaming every few days or run a generator once a week or so. New ryzen cpus come out with 65w. Oh right yeah and I'll be running it all through my UPS power backup to regulate it. Any sudden loss of voltage/amp or wattage spike and the power backup will kick on, so I can keep on gaming for another 20 minutes.
If you are going ryzen, stay with the xxxxG variants as they only have a single ccd. They idle at low power states. The higher end ryzen chips multi ccd config have terrible idle power consumption. You end up using more power in the long run
Now, this was interesting! Love these kinda sketchy projects that explore the boundaries. Besides the intriguing topic the video was really great and entertaining. Keep up the work!
the Steam Deck is an amazing little computer if you are super limited with power draw, the official Dock did have some weird HDCP issues not sure if it still does tho
@@BronyumHexofloride That was fixed a long time ago. Now, the only issue you sometimes have is to find a good enough dock, most cheap ones die within a few months and the expensive ones aren't worth keeping because of their prices. but depends on each person I guess.
Nice... Im planning to have my gaming set up in a van, and be there playing all the time I want, I just needed this video, because I know they spend a lot of energyyyyy
чудове відео! If I make a video like this, I will attempt making these approaches: -Those motherboards from Aliexpress with integrated CPU from notebooks. -Same motherboards from Aliexpress but with the laptop version CPUs AMD 8600G or 8700G -Potentially utilize passive cooling for the CPU. -Since you are decreasing the PCIe gen on the M.2 NVME, then you can use a less power hungry one. -Also to use one of those mini low consumption PCs with an external graphics card via thunderbolt or an m.2 port adapter. Best,
Running my CPU with SMT off most of the time, sometimes even with fewer cores. It's only when I'm into playing something newer that I'm unlocking all cores. I really enjoy this modularity and I've started nerding out really hard for efficiency.
Using MorePowerTool you can undervolt the GPU further, as well as reduce the VRAM voltages by quite a bit. I had an RX 6600XT that consumed 45w running at 1550Mhz combined with a 5600g using 9W (also undervolted 3.7GHz at 1V) the power from the wall was 77W with a 650w Titanium PSU (which some are now rated for 5% load) and could game at 1440p.
You may be able to save on power losses by making your own DC voltage conversion unit to substitute the power supply. Rather than dealing with the losses from transformers and rectifiers, in addition to voltage regulators, you can skip the transformers and go straight to voltage regulators, specifically buck, and boost converters. They are extremely efficient for DC to DC voltage conversion HOWEVER, you will need some big capacitors to clean the noise from the high frequency switching you get from buck/boost systems. Would not recommend testing this on your main software until you’ve thoroughly cleaned the voltage.
This is easier to do than you would think. Minisforum has decent gaming PCs that max at around 200 watts. I think the future of efficient PC gaming will be making use of laptop level components.
Cool to see your videos in English, Roma! :P Thanks for the content and the fun experiment! (P.S.: Dunno if important, but your Kingston links are leading to Ukraine and not English language.)
If you plug a 12 volt adapter into your computer psu from your battery would it lower your watts? Idk but it might equate to less watts when the voltage is raised instead of lowered, as long as your watts are kept below 100, works for mini pc's but it might also harm them
The only thing else I would've liked to see on the slides it the stock power consumption. You show the FPS at 65 and the stock fps but not stock power.
given the rise of ARM CPUs I'd wait till they're stable enough for windows, so you can rock one of those, by design they're a lot more power efficient, also take some inspiration, laptop's may have specific hardware, but they too sometimes have tricks up their sleeves to perform whilst consuming little power.
you know if you dont mind getting your hands dirty you can shave off even more Watts if you opt for a Pico PSU and modify the power input to take USB PD Over USB type C, the EB3A (i have one myself) has a 100w USB C output so you can feaseably erase the DC->AC->DC conversion losses, Doing this requires soldering and lots of reaserch into the USB standards and USB PD trigger boards its not easy i found it out the hard way after converting a Bluray player to run on USB C... but if you are going for MAXIMUM efficiency its worth looking into with this setup
Can you do more videos about pc power consumption and how to improve/select components for power efficiency? I have been wanting to build more power efficient pc due to California's crazy high electricity bills
I loved this. I did a similar low power project with an A2000 and a T series Intel chip. I'd say if money was no object an a4000 ada sff undervolted would give you the best efficiency especially compared to the AMD. It's true x86 was never meant for ultra low power gaming though, the T239 in the next switch or the M4 pro would probably be the true best performer/watt
I game on an itx pc that pulls 65 watts max at the wall in game. 5700g on a b450i with 32gb of ram 3600mhz. I tuned it for efficiency in the bios. Its in a 1L case maybe smaller it only has room for a pico power supply and couple 40mm x 10mm fans. I fit a led strip inside but i keep it off these days.
hdplex 500 watt dc - dc power supply. amd 7600x processor rtx 4060 low profile gpu [i am after high frame rates with very low noise and heat and power consumption.] i live off grid, but use very efficient [95%] inverters, so i will compare the 500 watt ac - dc psu to the 500 watt ac to dc supply from hdplex. using the inverter will have other effects besides the 5% loss to heat. there is also the idle current, that he inverter simply wastes to remain on.
I had a pc that had a 5600g and rx6600, both stock and with 2 new 1080p monitors the total system power + monitors and peripherals was around 130W at full load. Couldnt believe it for the performance. If you want to do solar just build a low end pc like yours or mine and just add another panel rather than scraping for every watt. Alternatively a laptop would give better performance at that amount of power too
According to XDA, Snapdragon 8 gen 3 has a peak wattage of 17.37W. So hypothetically, using pc emulator like Winlator or Mobox you could play games even more efficiently on android device. Of course, provided that they will work in the first place.
Is not a bad idea at all. Im actually searching for ideas, cause some places in this planet earth some times have problems with the grid. So i could buy a solar panel with their battery, and i can still use my pc. If you have more ideas about a low consump pc. Please let me know. Thank you.
@@gockartzz8272 Rtx 4060 features the same chip as the A4000 RTX which is identical and consumes only 75W in fact it does not need additional current except from PCI-E
Yeah I've got a 7840HS + 4060 laptop and this thing often only needs 50W to max out simpler games at 1080P 90fps+, I don't see why a revision to this build couldn't use a 40-50W pwr limit + Undervolted 4060 + 15W 8700G/8600G with again more undervolting, iGPU disabled and all the mods done here to further cut power with reduced speed DDR5 + voltage. Shame they went with a 6500XT because sure, it uses low power, but I honestly doubt the efficiency is that good given the age of the architecture and how anemic the core is.
RTX A2000 6/12GB is 70W stock and can be undervolted to 35W while retaining 80% of its performance, which will bring it to being on par with the rx 6500xt.
@@gockartzz8272 The rtx 4060 is a 4/5nm GPU the rx 6600 is a 7nm GPU it only makes sense for the 4060 to be more efficient. Also the 6600 is 232mm^2 die size the 4060 is a 148mm^2 which is basically a 30/40 class card.
Maybe the new AMD 8600G or 8700G and using the build in GPU might be the way to go. They probably outperform the throttled old GPU anyway. There are also mini PCs with 7840HS, 7840U, 7940HS and similar stuff but that's probably cheating as you would basically just buy a stock PC.

Id recommend using a 4060 low profile but the new ADA SFF Card 1000+ price is more efficent at 75 watts max , the best Solar GPU I found myself is running a 4070 super fe, at half TDP so like 100W gave me 3070 performance w solar
EXTREMELY fascinating As the world continues to burn and the end of society looms closer and closer - I'm thinking of having something exactly like this to still enjoy a couple games. This was *perfect*, thank you
i would like to add one thing, i got a rx6600M and 11900H (its a computer, not a notebook, even using notebook parts), so there is an idea, see if some repurposed hardware helps, rx6600M is 3% weaker than normal rx6600 with 30W less, 11900H uses 65W, there is also the AMD processors with GE in the name, they use 35W, there is a 5750GE . Pro tip: if you use the rx6600M, you will need to reflash the Vbios to make your PC see it as an normal RX6600 and being able to undervolt it in the last drivers, amd blocked it. there are lots of videos explaining how to do it... but in portuguese, Brazilian portuguese, COME TO BRAZIL
try 9th gen cpu - last low power hungry generation 1 ram stick to lower consumption amd 5600g with no graphic card - other low power option intel n100 mobo gtx 1650 have lowest power consumption for media / multimonitors other option - motherboard with mobile cpu - which we have several out there
Because it has relatively high idle consumption, so there is no room left for the actual load. Open hwinfo on the desktop and check how many watts it is pulling. Mine is ~30w. In the video I used almost 2.5x less under load
@@rozor3089 @LTT , he used 3600x with full undervolt and 2060 ( full load 108w , but the gpu take 90w ,so the cpu 18w ) , mine 5500 with halfish undervolt (load cpu only 47w.)
My laptop I bought a year ago for $400 from BestBuy is better than this.. nice try but u coulda put more effort and done an actual better build.. this is not competing with 65 watt gaming laptop especially for the price . If ur gonna make a video should at least beat laptops
I've noticed he likes to focus on ridiculous as opposed to useful. Right notice how this is not even a 65w pc build its a solar powered pc... your point about laptops is inadvertently genius because they run on DC power so the lower power loss due to no conversion means you could run a higher wattage laptop but you would have to do a video about how you attached the panel and laptop.
I have a 1200W 80+ platinum psu I got fot 65 bucks on clearance at microcenter, but would it be more efficient if I used 2 smaller PSUs one to power my GPU and one to power my CPU?
so two things:

Found it. The Asrock N100m. Not really a "normal" desktop part but if you ever try this again might be worth a shot?
Thank you for repeating videos in English❤
try 9th gen cpu - last low power hungry generation
1 ram stick to lower consumption
amd 5600g with no graphic card - other low power option
intel n100 mobo
gtx 1650 have lowest power consumption for media / multimonitors
other option - motherboard with mobile cpu - which we have several out there
i think 5700GE + RTX A2000/3050 6GB would use even less power while faster
WHY NOT USE AMD R5 5600X , THAT PROC CAN UNDERVOLT VERY GOOD WITH DECENT CPU POWER LEFT , SO THE GAME WONT TAKE THAT MUCH HIT
Because it has relatively high idle consumption, so there is no room left for the actual load. Open hwinfo on the desktop and check how many watts it is pulling. Mine is ~30w. In the video I used almost 2.5x less under load
@@rozor3089 yes ,amd have a little bit high idle , but under load with undervolting , amd waay better than intel by far
@@rozor3089 @LTT , he used 3600x with full undervolt and 2060 ( full load 108w , but the gpu take 90w ,so the cpu 18w ) , mine 5500 with halfish undervolt (load cpu only 47w.)
Buy steam deck, problem solved xD
why not just a gaming laptop?
Steam deck would make even more sense.
Nic z tego nie rozumiem 😂 ale wiem, że to ty zaprogramujesz drony które zniszczą Moskwę.
Pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱
thanks for the guide, i'm going to bury this setup in the ground so people in the future can game when all this bullshit blows over 😎
Just roma just forgot translate text in the video
Ну русских тут можно не увидеть
@@Vlad_feel и не увидишь)
Правильно, что на двух языках))
More interesting would have been using Apple M1 with AARCH64 based Linux, Proton and Steam. Otherwise, that is actually not feasable. 😂
so, buy a pi5 and just emulate old games you say
rx 6400 is more power efficient, cosuming like 40w on cyberpunk stock
I use 5600g with pbo2 16gb ram ,😏 btw that accent is so thick.
Stupid for you only option for me i live in a farm with generadors i want it to be solar
Buy a virtual pc subscription...
лол, як тільки людина не викручується, лиш би не знімати відоси українською )))
Ukraine Yes. russia No!
My laptop I bought a year ago for $400 from BestBuy is better than this.. nice try but u coulda put more effort and done an actual better build.. this is not competing with 65 watt gaming laptop especially for the price . If ur gonna make a video should at least beat laptops
I've noticed he likes to focus on ridiculous as opposed to useful. Right notice how this is not even a 65w pc build its a solar powered pc... your point about laptops is inadvertently genius because they run on DC power so the lower power loss due to no conversion means you could run a higher wattage laptop but you would have to do a video about how you attached the panel and laptop.
A 7500F + A2000 should be a very fine combo
I have a 1200W 80+ platinum psu I got fot 65 bucks on clearance at microcenter, but would it be more efficient if I used 2 smaller PSUs one to power my GPU and one to power my CPU?
You should have took a A2000 is the most efficient gpu to date for the moment
I wonder how the steamdeck stacks up to your build
