      A lot of the cheaper ITX cases on aliexpress are single slot half height. They lean cheaper because single slot is less desired. Notably, there is a ~40 dollar case that is an all-plexiglass design that would be a cool micro RGB build (doing that as a project is in my back pocket)

    Hey there, thanks for the very nice review of my heatsink! In case anyone is wondering, the card runs pretty hot because the stock fan curve doesn't ramp up the card higher than about 50% ever. While very quiet, you can set a custom curve to get it a bit cooler but it should be good nonetheless. The PTM7950 pad will also get better after a couple of heating cycles.

      @@candyred3v There is no way to make a fan curve that responds to gpu temperature using the bios fan controls.

I would highly recommend boosting the fan speed as the memory can get pretty hot (100C), usually 10C above the GPU itself. I think this card is the best price/performance you can get right now.

    I've been looking for a single-slot solution for my A2000 (+Optiplex 9020) and just spent ~$90 on mods and took an angle grinder to the stock heatsink. This cooler looks like it'll perform better than my "solution" at the same price, so I'll definitely get one.
    As for overclocking, the A2000 is hard limited to 70W, so you'll hit a power limit before a temp or voltage limit. You can shunt mod it to pull more than 70W, but then you risk burning the PCIe slot on your motherboard.

    The RTX 2000 Ada generation seems a little nerfed when it comes to it's core config, though if considered that ADA is a more efficient architecture, it should perform better.

    The nice thing about the A2000 is that you can actually undervolt it a little, either to reduce the powerdraw by 5-10 watts, or to have more consistently high clocks, at least my A2000 performs better with a custom voltage/frequency curve, higher clocks and slightly lower powerdraw.
    Also, despite the RTX A4000 being named '4000' it is actually still on the Ampere architecture, the same as the RTX 3000 series, so it might not have frame gen... but it's still RTX 3070 ish performance at 75 watts if I remember correctly, which is some incredible efficiency.

      @@garystinten9339 Apparently the a4000 ada lovelace version (not to be confused with the ampere version) is comparable to a 3070, but with more vram (there is a 20gb version). That level of performance seems not that much better than the a4000 ampere, but the ampere predecessor uses significantly more power.

      ​@@rodrigomolinsky The A4000 SFF (Ada generation) has a MSRP of like $1400+
      The A4000 SFF is 70W
      The A4000 is 150W.. So don't expect to put a A4000 in a mini PC.. You won't be able to provide the extra power it needs.

    Look, I understand there's a premium for SFF and mini PC, but I just can't justify the performance per dollar on something like this. With the mini PC, A2000 and single slot cooler, you're talking about $1200 USD before taxes & shipping. Meanwhile I can build a mini-tower PC w/ a Ryzen 5700xt, mid-tier B550 mobo, Radeon 6700 xt, 1tb storage, 32GB RAM, 650 watt PSU for just a little over $1000 USD. This would give me double the GPU performance in synthetic benchmarks and would play all games high/ultra 1080p at well over 60FPS and a lot of games on medium/high over 60FPS on 1440P.

      I mean you can buy an RTX 4060 laptop with pretty good other features for like 800 bucks now on sale, this isn't necessarily about value but about the size/performance. For sure it's not a good deal right now, you are right.

      @@PeterOliver I get the whole laptop discussion. However, you still have an upgrade path in my scenario. You can get a Ryzen 5800x3d or 5900/5950x, add more RAM, upgrade the GPU, add more storage, and even transplant the whole platform into another PC tower. Hell, you can even replace the mobo with a B650 or B760 if you wanted to go team blue. Laptops and these ultra small machines cannot do most of up the upgrades I mentioned .
