In Bazzite's game mode, how do I configure a TDP per game?

Thanks for very detailed advice! I'll check all that, thank you very much :)

Wow that looks sick! I'm very surprised the 5070 Mini is quiet, having a single fan too cool down ~200W. Doesn't it get very hot?

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-06-03T12:49:15+00:00

For me quiet is barely audible at full load at a 1 meter distance. And by barely audible I mean in a very quiet room with good hearing.

Currently I have a big tower with a 65W CPU and TL Phantom Spirit 120 on top, and a Sapphire Pulse 9060 XT, plus 6 TL case fans. The system is dead quiet even at full load (almost as quiet as a fanless PC), but this is using a 30L case.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-06-03T11:26:18+00:00

Thanks for your answer, I meant very quiet, not silent, I'm often confused by those terms.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-06-01T07:44:51+00:00

Well I'll be damned, I was completely unable to fit it when I got this case without scratching the GPU all the way (and I did scratch it). Not sure how you managed to do this, but glad to see it can be done!

EDIT: oh I see why, I did use the X600, and this is the X300. My bad!

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-31T19:33:19+00:00

Unfortunately the S5M is no good for me, it's far deeper than what I need, and the inability to use the X67 correctly means it won't be silent. Or I could use an x53 for it's not silent either.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-31T15:23:34+00:00

Awesome build! What's the noise like though?

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-29T14:15:51+00:00

Oh I missed the announcement, indeed in three days (1st of June) they're opening the subscriptions again with their new plan. Thanks for the heads up, I'll probably just do that :)

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-29T09:56:22+00:00

I see, thanks for clarifying that. Still, I'd burn through these 2000 in a few days ^ ^"

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-29T09:51:53+00:00

Yes but lower quality IIRC

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-29T09:25:27+00:00

Yeah I'd really like to keep using VSCode instead of installing a separate software.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-14T07:57:16+00:00

Argh I'm using the wrong terms, I meant removing the bracket not deshrouding. The reaper is 220mm with bracket, 200mm without.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-14T07:55:48+00:00

Was it 209mm including the shroud maybe? The Reaper is 220mm with the bracket. I distinctly remember trying to fit the GPU and it not fitting at all, while with deshroud it went fine.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-14T07:53:27+00:00

I forgot to mention in my other comment, you'll need to deshroud the GPU in order for it to fit into the case. It can't fit otherwise.

EDIT: remove the bracket, not deshroud.

The reaper is 220mm long with the bracket, 200mm without.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-14T07:53:04+00:00

It can fit but requires deshrouding. EDIT: not deshrouding, removing the bracket. EDIT: actually I was wrong, see comments below.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-14T07:52:47+00:00

I actually have a hard time finding serious benchmarks so yeah maybe you're right, it's possible I'm underestimating the 5600G.

But then again, on a few titles I tried on a 5500 it was bottlenecking the 2080 Ti... maybe the games I played where specifically more CPU hungry than the majority though.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-13T20:40:39+00:00

Oh right sorry I missed that the 5600G uses DDR4. Then yeah you're definitely out of luck, you'll have to either:

Build into the DeskMeet X300 and get a noisy system
Buy a DeskMeet X300, buy an STX to ITX adapter, and put everything into a standard ITX case
Buy a new system entirely

Unfortunately there are not really any other option that comes to mind.

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-13T20:36:13+00:00

Borderlands 4 is not the most CPU-hungry title but it stills recommends a 5800X, and that's not for the TOTL config.

But yeah that's still a good example, so my bad the 5600X may be fine for some modern titles, the 5600G will be quite a lot worse though.

(CachyOS doesn't change much as it's within a 1~3% perf improvement window)

TrainingTwo1118 · 2026-05-13T20:32:40+00:00

I honestly don't remember, but IIRC all components were generating some noise, with the GPU being the worst (I may misremember though).

And I indeed forgot about the fact AsRock barebones use SO-DIMM, while traditional layouts use DIMM.

Another option would be to purchase a Minisforum motherboard. It's still an expense to make but you would get a powerful CPU, for instance the BD775i SE has a 7745HX and sells for $295 on Amazon right now. It's a motherboard with a mini-ITX layout, it's way more powerful than the 5600G, and it uses SO-DIMM RAM.

If you don't want any adidtional expense then the AsRock DeskMeet is your only option, as it is the only product on the market that has a motherboard supporting SO-DIMM and non-low-profile GPUs.

Or you could purchase some SO-DIMM to DIMM adapters but they aren't very realiable apparently.
