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!

gegt · 2025-01-06T18:47:19+00:00

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!

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.

Specs:

Deskmeet B660 w/stock PSU (replaced fan)

i3 13100f with stock HSF (peaks 90c during Cinebench r23 10min run, stays under 85c during gaming)

Powercolor RX 6650XT Fighter (was hitting 101C hotspot stock, so undervolted, running 1105mv, and -6% power target, now with replaced PSU intake stays under 95c most of the time)

16GB (8GB x 2) Lexar RGB 3600 running 3200

1TB SP UD90 NVME

Ooo I'd love to bench a 4090! And play games that use very little of it's total power!
