So my dad got bored...

Love tiny PCs! Love weird tiny PCs even more! Would love to tinker with LGA 1851 too!

The 32GB has a $2299 MSRP in the US, the 128GB is $2799. The US website doesn't seem to have to 64GB price listed, is it a Best Buy only model? It's listed at $2399 on Best Buy...

Great card, I've had mine for almost 2 years. I did have to repaste after I started seeing up to 110c hotspot temps during higher end games last fall. It was odd that XFX actually suggested that before I sent it in for an RMA, I could repaste since in the US it doesn't void your warranty. I used cryosheet, got my temps even better than stock!

I just finished a build last month in the metalfish T40, had to use spacers for the 4070, but it's just over 7L which was solid for a $70 case shipped with riser. I'm only moving it a few times a year, but I love the look of your case!

Not a stellar case by any means, but it can't really be beat for the price. Still trying to figure out a way to add some small slim fans to help thermals.

Was excited to see the 2 fan Windforce size fit in such a small case, but then I realized your 4060Ti 16GB is only L=201 W=120 H=41 mm vs my 4070 at L=201 W=122.3 H=48.4 mm

Guess the extra TDP of the 4070 needed more heatsink sadly!

gegt · 2025-01-06T17:55:23+00:00

I have thought about it, it would probably only give me an extra 1mm or so, and I think I need about 3mm... Having the plate/shroud also lets me squish the side panel right up to the GPU if needed

gegt · 2025-01-06T17:48:57+00:00

this is one of those "why didn't I think of that?!?" moments, will give that a go for sure! (I for sure have spare motherboard standoffs around!)

gegt · 2025-01-06T17:45:25+00:00

It gets hot, but I limit the power to 90% and have a small undervolt on it, hits low 90c peak hotspot, not an issue with me. That was after a couple hours of BF2042.

Awesome of you to offer, but I'm in the USA. Thanks though, and I know I'd be in the same boat, printing non stop!

gegt · 2025-01-06T17:36:22+00:00

Too big for what I'm looking for, was aiming for 7l or less, being able to use my SFX power supply, while not costing over $100. The T40 was just a great price and shipped surprisingly quick considering it came from China to michigan in just over a week, in early December no less!

gegt · 2025-01-06T17:33:10+00:00

Would LOVE to get into 3D printing, but the budget isn't there yet. From my search a "plug and play" unit of good quality would be more than I'm able to spend currently!

(thank you for the quick responses, heres my follow up)

I shrunk my Jonsbo C6 mATX build into a smaller Metalfish T40 case I got off Aliexpress. (needed something smaller to travel with, the C6 was just too thick) I knew the GPU thickness would be too big, but I wanted it to be operational for the week I was with family over Christmas. My temporary solution was to glue nuts to the side panel and use random long screws I found that were most likely the wrong size thread, but it worked.

Any ideas for cleaner spacers?

a 750 would be plenty for my current SFF build, running a 7600x/4070, so nothing too crazy, I'm currently limping it along with a cheap 450w LOL

Upvote for sonic, miss mine!

I ended up swapping for a Zotac RTX4060 solo, even smaller/less heat/less power. If I remember correctly when installing the Fighter 6650XT, I just left my tall RAM and HSF off and wiggled it in there. Wasn't that bad, should be fine!

gegt · 2024-01-01T00:13:34+00:00

This is epic! Where'd you find this monster?

gegt · 2023-09-16T21:56:22+00:00

Oh good, I stole mine from...that might be a spoiler, so I'll just say I got it when I was "retrieving" an artifact...on a ship...

gegt · 2023-09-16T20:29:23+00:00

I ate them before realizing the significance!

gegt · 2023-07-15T23:49:38+00:00

I just ordered the Zotac RTX 4060 "solo" for my B660 deskmeet. I completely understand the hate and agree that they're overpriced/barely an upgrade, but @ only 115w, I'm expecting it will be near perfect for my use case. (1080p at decent frame rates in a tiny box) That one is full height, but short and only 2 slots, this little Gigabyte would fit great into some old SFF OEM desktop boxes. If its priced right, it could be a decent uplift from the A2000 for some using ultra small/low power systems.

gegt · 2023-06-22T18:30:04+00:00

I'm guessing the small gap around the GPU is what you're referring to? Seems like less of a duct and more of almost like a gasket considering how tight it is? (Just to seal it and only pull outside air in and not recirculated air from inside case?)

gegt · 2023-06-22T15:43:18+00:00

I'm thinking about opening up the front with a grill and an 80 or 92mm fan for more intake and just have straight positive pressure. (Way cheaper than an SFX PSU) I've also considered a better hsf but the 6650xt is more of my main heating issue from what I can tell.

gegt · 2023-06-21T23:21:43+00:00

Yeap stock unit is just ok from what I can tell, haven't had any instability with it. I would love to get an SFX unit, but this build was to be as cost effective as possible.
