I don't need a PC this small, but I really want one. It's crazy how much power can fit into such a small form factor. We just need some more ITX GPUs for the market.

I like this video format a lot. Very informative and interesting. Love the way you explain every choice and how it was catered to your specific situation.

This PC is badass. It's also amazing how well a Ryzen 9 can run with such limited cooling.

They have 8TB nvme drives???!!

Great build gotta love the velka case

so frickin nice seeing you again you will always be my favorite techtuber

As always another great video, helpful as always!

I just ordered a velka 3 last week, I'm even more excited now

Great stuff Kyle!

yay Glad to see ya!! Miss ya!

Dude glad you are posting more frequently man ...

Dear PNY, sponsor this man for an ADA A4000 "SFF/LP" with 20GB of Vram I wonder how it would stack up against the 4060 ti.

I've been using the Velka 3 with their Enhance PSU for the past couple of years, going back and forth from the metro NY area to PAX West, PAX East, and PAX Australia. For PAX East, it sits in a LTT backpack along with all its accessories. When traveling to PAX West and PAX Australia, the system sits in a SKB 2011-7 ATA travel case, along with an Asus XG17, Drop Alt keyboard, Glorious mouse, DualShock 4 controller, and USB hub. I've checked the SKB case with no issues (other than TSA forgetting to reattach my TSA locks more often than not). I've gone from a 5600/PNY 3060 to a 5700X3D/MSI 3060 Ti Aero. The one downside is that the motherboard I/O area can get pretty toasty. I bring a small USB-powered fan and point it at the back of the case to keep things cooler, along with using a USB hub to move anything on a dongle away from the excessive heat. I'm using Louqe's Cobalt PCIe 4.0 riser cable. The dark blue is barely visible from outside the case. The light grey cable is more noticeable than the blue.

u got me bricked up here

I bought the other small form factor case from a couple of videos ago and that one has been working out really well for me

You are awesome Bit thank you for all the knowledge brother.

The velka series of cases are great. I have a velka 7 and I love that case.

I was looking at review videos on a mini pc that I am considering buying and then this video pops up and now I'm stuck, thanks Kyle

Built it this case a couple months ago and it was super fun to plan and build. Would most definitely do it again.

"...but in this case, it's the hero I need." Nice double entendre.

Great SFF build. And I love the Asmongold and Star Wars (ep 4) inserts at 9:53. LOL

A few years ago one of my now-roommates was interested in a portable PC for VR. An appropriate external battery setup (Jackery et al) could make this a major beast for actual VR gaming!

I love small form factor. I built one of these back back...............back in the day that was also a fanless design. Highly recommend!!!

But have you tried the non-K Intel i9/i7 variants (non-F variants, with an iGPU for QuickSync) with a base TDP of 65W? I'm curious in how it performs in a case like this, and if the max 37mm cooler is capable enough of cooling it without overclocking.

This couldn’t have come at a a better time. I was looking into building a new pc hopefully really small as I’m preparing to leave for school. Hopefully this will be the inspiration I need even if my wallet shivers in fear.

Dude, this is almost my exact setup! I dont have ram, storage or the CPU yet. But the 4060ti palit from techinn was too good to pass up as an ITX sized GPU 👌🏼👌🏼

Why under volt versus just stepping down in CPU model? Seems like people choose under volting so that they can say "Here i got an R9 or I9 in this little box even though the undervolt make the CPU perform closer to the 7 or 5 models of these CPU's. At any rate, for what you wanted to do, a 13600K with an A380 would have been primo for your encoding needs. Especially the use of QuickSync and DeepLink technologies. Not to mention very good power consumption and low heat heat WITHOUT undervolting while performing pretty close to what you actually got now.

Damn that's some fast tiny workstation, i hope it won't caught fire

SFF is going crazy 😮 and I like it.

I just appreciate you showing me how to properly undervolt in the new ASUS software. I know how to do it in my old 2011 Gigabyte motherboard.

Galaxy quest reference goes hard.

@Bitwit I love it when you make PC's for people, I am sure Kyle will love his new PC.

1:40 what backpack is that Kyle? looks rugged/awesome, would love to buy the exact model

excited for your computex coverage!

Nice mini case!

Have you considered getting a mini water jet or laser cutter to make custom parts for things like the Velka 3 or even full custom cases for odd mobo size like deep itx etc…

That's a cute little bit of kit there! Never underestimate the value of an underclock. I've been happily running my 5700x all core 3.7Ghz @ 0.950v.. I find it remarkable that it typically seems to sip around 35-38W!

Looks like a super solid workhorse! Hopefully the stuff you get to cover at computech will make this thing worthwhile!

I made a similar build a couple of years ago, when gpu prices skyrocketed and itx form factor was expensive, paid 950 USD for a 3060. Some of the issues I founds were: -It was super heavy, even it was small -Was hot to the touch while gaming -Fan was super loud, even more than a gaming laptop -Expensive Pros: - it looked so cool in desktop, was easy to setup on a tv or anywhere -Performance was great what I would do different: -If it just for gaming I would stick to a ryzen 5 non X, to keep power consumption down and temps. -Get a 250w or 300w PSU and replace the fan

may I ask why did you choose to go with a portable PC set-up and not with a powerfull laptop, considering the aditional gear you have to bring just to use it (keyboard, monitor, etc..)? great build btw :)

Totally unnecessary to have a build this small, and yet it's so cute that it's absolutely indispensable.

Damn this is the most powerful 4L Ive ever seen. Do you think the same build with a 7900 (low consume) and a 4060 solo is a great deal or a 7800x3D undervolt is a better choice?

You could always throttle back the frequency of the 14900 to keep it cooler, but, then is it really gonna be faster then the ryzen9?

That 96 gigs really helped carry the system despite lower clock speeds and undervolting.

I was gonna do a build like this with a 12 core CPU and the Velka 3 will be perfect

He’s back boys!

Love this. Still waiting for the new roast!

Excellent video and quite impressive build and results! Hope it serves you well and looking forward your Computex coverage.

Love you Kyle

Just a heads up, i have traveled a lot, and if they ever try to make me check a bag, i just say it has my work laptop, battery packs and powertool batteries. They have never given me an issue after that. Granted, i do have said item in the bag.

This was one of my plans for a similar situation for my study abroad XD. Also what was your experience like traveling with a PC.

I was gonna ask why not go 30 series since some seem to outperform that 4060, but you answered that question :D

Really making me consider building an itx PC

portable space heater is always nice

Amazing PC

Velka 3 builds are going to get more epic with 50 series!

Is there a video on the white pc build you have at 0:40 on the background?? I want to build something similar

thumbnail looked like a really big fan

Awesome looking PC

I often wonder why the 14700 and 14900 processors are not used in builds like this? Both have the same integrated graphics as the K series processors, but with only a 65w tdp. Both can easily be cooled with the same Noctua cooler you used in your build. They can't be overclocked, but with the same integrated graphics, they provide outstanding h.264 editing performance.

Nice to see an KZfaq PC influencer who builds a PC with more than just a 1TB SSD, plus it's a small form factor one.

Genuine question; why don't you use something like a Mac studio? Is it the apple ecosystem and lack of being able to customize it or mainly just preference?

I'd be interested in building a rig like that. My only question is what it ended up costing?

I want to build this exact PC, can you linkto to all the components you used?

Talking PC's ... What about the screen you'll be using ? do u take a monitor with ? ...

It's so cute!

Hey, where is the giveaway link? ;) Actually, that power in such a tiny build is astounding. Sweet build.

Wow its almost computex already and i just recently got a job wow how time flies. :)

I have a similar build in the K39 (AliExpress case that's quite similar). Cooler is the IS-47K, GPU is older so 2070 itx from gigabyte (well used to be that, I sold that and put a 1050ti in for a while, then my cousin stole that so it's actually got an empty GPU chamber rn), and it's got an old mobo+cpu, a 7700k with an undervolt. Works great as an htpc, tho I still want an arc a310 if they're ever actually well priced for HDMI 2.1 and av1 decode PSU I got an FSP flexguru 500w unit and rewired it with a noctua fan, and have had excellent results, never audible above other components

I'm surprised you went with the X3D model, rather than the 7950X. If you don't mind, what's the rationale behind that?

Absolutely beautiful build. Small but mighty... much like my... pinky toe.

Hi. Can you drop the link for the riser cable? Thank you.

from one Kyle to another, see you at Computex!

What about the noise level, please? You got me curious:)

what pcie riser cable are you useing in this case? I dont want to use velkas ver. it looks ugly.

Kyle u r the best ... so fun

Wonder if it would fail at the critical moment like Paul's 7970X CES 2024 $10k System?

If quicksync is way faster could've just used a 14700T or similar cpu from Intel that is meant for lower power envelopes

They are selling the typographic card on Amazon. It sucks his video didn’t show us which graphic car we can get.

what is that backpack the first one you show in the video

you should've considered optimum's custom 3,6L case

Who won the pc in the last vid Kyle? Just wondering

The 8TB SSD will not overheat, since no heatsink?

Is there any reason you use h264 on 4k rather than h.265 ? Thank you

I wonder how a desktop replacement laptop compares

I want to see you do Next gen APU build (no GPU) and use super fast ram.

Out of curiosity has anyone ever had issue on transporting an AIO for international flights? Trying to figure out what PC parts I can bring when I move.

Yes next build will be itx.

Him: "let me pull out my gaming desktop real quick" Someone else: "You mean your laptop right?" Him *smiles* Someone else: "Your Laptop, right?"

I don't really understand the CPU choice, wouldn't the normal 7950X be better, especially for productivity? I can even imagine the 7900 (non-X) being good enough while not needing a ppt adjustment.

Nice and all, but really, if it is for video editing on the go, a MBP 16 or Mac Studio would have given you the same render times, cost the same, and be more portable.

Galaxy Quest reference spotted!!

Cool !

03:45 After many years of AMD being the "chips that run super hot" it's nice to see them take a bit of a win on this one, not gonna lie.

What is the dimension for the flex psu?

I know this is cheaper and more upgradeable (and more fun), but at this little volume and cooling capacity, you would get better performance out of a gaming laptop with a i9 or R9 and a 4090.

with 2 nvme you are running at 8x pci-e speeds??

I'm all about that PC SFF life, but wouldn't it have been less expensive to just get a M1 Ultra Apple Studio?

If you are just using this pc for editing, then why are you using the 7950x3d? The standard 7950x is a better for cpu for this due to the higher clocks.

I thought u had built a sff pc on the sktc a07?
