Neat build! I’d like to know how it handles some benchmarks and also the temps and fan noises at high load. I want to build one for myself.

Built my HTPC in this case last year using a 7600X and an XFX RX 6950 XT (I had to mod the shell to fit it. Also had to remove the two case fans in the GPU well). It's running Arch Linux and using the same script SteamOS uses to boot directly into GameScope for big picture mode on system start so I get a full-fledged Console-like desktop for singleplayer and couch-coop 4K gaming.

If I were to refer to anything relating to Steam Machines it would basically be the out of service office tiny mini micro PCs that pop up on eBay all the time. Something cheap enough to introduce someone to PC gaming and give them the opportunity to feel it out without wasting too much money. I know for me and others, the main hate we all had for the Steam Machine was that they were priced too much new, were very weak, and everyone we knew interested in buying one would use their experience as ammunition on why PC gaming was inferior or too expensive for what it was.

Wow. Beautiful build and case. Never seen this case before.

Awesome video. I literally just bought this case. It arrives today!

That's awesome. These low profile builds fit really well without blasting RGB everywhere.

I made almost an identical build concept last year. Same case but black, Ryzen 5 7600, Radeon 6600 (don't mind upscaling games on my TV), 980 Pro 2TB, etc. I installed ChimeraOS on it as it at least then seemed to be the best SteamOS like distro for HTPC use. Works like a charm. I have to sell it before it's worth nothing, but talk about a specific case use scenario machine. ChimeraOS was amazing too. FSR on everything machine wide if needed, individual settings for setups unncessary, etc. Great video.

It would look like a computer 😀 Awesome Vid 💯

Yea your production quality is top notch. Just watched your steam deck vs other handhelds video and I'm very impressed. You just earned another sub

isnt there a new model of that cpu cooler one with 6 heatpipes?

I there just have one question what is the 7800x3d temps while gaming thanks

Can you do a follow up showing the OS you used? Is it steamOS or windows?

It’s gonna be a hard time for the Linux part with a nvidia GPU… (nvidia is pretty lazy at updating their pilots for the « pinguin os » 😢). Amd is a better choice if you want Linux distribution 👍 (actually: maybe in a near future Nvidia gonna wake up ˆˆ)

​@@MrBananaX2000 I heard there are some distros like Bazzite that minimizes the problems around Nvidia and Linux... but in the end we still need to rely on Nvidia's good will around it, wich we already know isn't very good. It's possible? Yes. But the ideal would still have an AMD graphics card on the build.

Cool build

More time was spent on the sponsor than talking about the OS you used, benchmarks, anything really relevant to the steam machine part.

What about temperatures and air flow?....I was intentioned to build a pc with this case, but I got so many warnings about it, at hte end I did an amazing total white build using the "fractal mini pop air" as case, of crz my build is not small and consolized like yours but I live in a very hot side of italy so for me its crucial to have a good airflow.

I did exact config except I went with the Ventus 2x because I’m looking at custom case to make the build smaller

Do a second video with an AMD card and using either ChimeraOS or Bezzite as those are full steam deck OS for desktop PCs

look at that spotlight mount

Amazing build man. I'm building a very similar system for an upcoming video

Hey that's awesome. you're doing like valve or whatever intended: putting the machine in the living room. I don't get all the folks out there building "steam machines" or whatever and plugging kb+m into them. yikes

I want a steam deck switch just to watch Nintendo have a meltdown. If the money I would pay for a fake campaign to see the fireworks.

I'm curious, would the 4070 be strong enough for 4k gaming? Is there an recommendation for a similar form factor 4080?

@williamchiawq3747

Ай бұрын

VRAM wise, only 4070ti super and above pair with at least 16 GB VRAM. Any below that really not recommended for 4K gaming. And its better if you just wait for 5080/5090 only you decide which models is your next upgrade. For form factor wise, common 4080 and 4090 are pretty overkilled. Smaller form factor unless you look for new series like Asus ProArt/MSI Expert or some lowest tier 4080(s)/4090 models can have around 3 slots with reasonable length.

Valve should use the Steam Deck popularity as the jumping stone for a REAL Steam Machine. The biggest drawbacks will still be the Linux drivers for the components, though. I bet AMD will be willing to work with Valve on this one.
