Man this channel has become my favorite SFF channel lately. Amazing build ETA!

The thing about these mini pcs are to reduce footprint, being a usable PC and not too expensive by using low profile GPUs. They really shine in these years.

I wish they made a 4060 ti low profile, that would put a small build over the top.

May not be a true low profile card but MSI made a 4060Ti/4070 Ti X Slim version which is more smaller than the typical/regular 4060 Ti/4070Ti's out there. I actually made a small Lian Li Q58 build with the MSI 4060Ti(16GB) White X Slim, i7-13700k, 32GB RAM and 1 1TB m.2(OS) and a 6TB 2.5 WD SSD(for the games + misc). Forgot to add that I game at 1080p@144fps at high settings in all games and am completely happy with my little powerhouse lunchbox lol

Dang I need one of them. Awesome build

Awesome 16-core workstation! We could only dream of this computing power growing up with old clunky desktops. I can see these compact systems taking over as 'do all' daily drivers. Especially 6 and 8 core CPU's. Use good cooling and they'll boost speeds all day. Good hands on review 👍

I’ll definitely need to try this for my travels💯💯

This is definitely the type of build I'd go for today-because it is legitimately tiny....but have no need to upgrade yet. My last pc build from a few years ago was a sff, but still huge and heavy though smaller than a mid-tower. They need to keep shrinking gpu's and power supplies so we can have super small pc's. Because I'm a renter, we have to move around every few years, so lugging these boxes around is a pain in the azz and I don't trust movers not to damage these delicate and costly machines-so I move them myself. Something this small would be ideal because you can throw it and all your cables and stuff in a backpack.

Awesome build

Excellent Build!

this mini pc is amazing!!!!

Excellent Build! If you put this set up in a full tower case, and used PCI NVMe adapters, I wonder how many SSD’s you could cram into it for mass storage (not including a NAS)

I wish they would release a 4070lp. Nice to see more options with FlexATX coming out, the PSU was typically the limiting factor in ITX builds, even SFX is limiting if you want to go with half-height cards. Still wish these case manufacturers would stop cheating around the expansion card brackets. Just extend the case rearward and make them internal. Who cares about the .2L penalty? If the bracket is sticking out it's effectively that much bigger already.

I've started getting the itch to update my rig but it's a custom watercooled 9900k+2080 Super with 2x360mm radiators and it still works really well. And it's SO QUIET! I want to go small but I prioritize silence. And I've got a 3440x1440 ultrawide so way more pixels to push. Maybe another couple of GPU generations will get me a graphical upgrade while also downsizing.

I really wish they put vent holes on the bottom of the front (button-side) panel with the same looking holes. It would be underneath the psu mounting.

MinisForum AtomMan X7 Ti touchscreen mini PC comes packing an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. ETA PRIME could you review this one. Keep up the good work.

im interested to build PC like this

When your PC specs sound like those of a high-performance race car. What a time to be alive!

Would you recommend doing this over the 8700g build you did?

My dream pc

Wish i could afford something like this.

nice if I was going to use this I would probably put it on some feat so those gpu fans can get good pull from the bottom. 4 little bolts with rubber caps could probably just lock into to the corner vent holes. Also its just speculation but if you then reversed the cpu fan so it blows out and give it a noctua shroud so it exhausts straight out the case it would mean more airflow into the gpu as well. It seemed to perform well enough without it but I can't help but feel you were starving that thing if you benchmarked it in the same position it was shown.

When the Ryzen 9000's come out I will be replacing my ITX 5600x setup with a Miniforums combo like this

Still waiting for ETA to build in the FormD T1 case

Can you post the dimensions of that motherboard with that noctua fan installed? I am really liking these.

Normally I know the PC gaming community is very anti-frame generation, but this is a perfect example of how the right use case can make the feature shine. This is a teeny tiny gaming PC that was just able to run a new AAA title at 1440p ~90fps. That's actually incredible and though they can be very anti-consumer with their pricing, Nvidia definitely deserves some praise for that one.

I am anti-frame generation and upscaling because it's a crutch that will make developers optimize their games less and less to the point the only way to play any game is using upscaling and frame generation.

Its the most power efficient desktop you could build at the moment. The card supports only pcie 4.0 x8 while the motherboard supports pcie 5.0 x16.

@3:06 you mention the RAM runs at 5600 MHz, as far as i know, the board is maxed out at 5200 MHz. My Kingston Fury Impact XMP 6000 runs at 4800. How do you Setup your RAM? Because the BIOS did not allow any changes

can you try high end emulation on this cpu ( specifically rpcs3 with hard to run games like GoW 3 and ascension )

Nice PC. If this mobo support Debian or ArchLinux I will go for it.

Hey ETA Prime, can you do a GEEK M21 MINI-ITX CASE build.

Quite big. My SFF PC has 5,5L in volume, but it can fit a desktop 7950X3D (with power limit) and a full size (smallest on the market) 4070. PSU is a simple non-modular 600W FLEX-ATX with shortend cables and small noctua fan for quieter operation (does limit power to ~400W to prevent overheating).

Not sure if you have a 3D printer or not but I was wondering if you could use some 3D printed cases out. Printables has a few and some other sites with 3D models.

This with a 7945x3d would be killer. I wonder if they make this all in one mobo eith that chip. It’s crazy to me how more gaming laptops don’t use that 7945x3d because it kills the 14900hx in almost every game.

Man I wish their other CPU was still in stock. This 16 core build is a productivity beast, but I would prefer to save some money and get a better match with the 4060 like the 77XXh 8-core CPU they sold out of.

Nice build. But the link to the motherboard isn't working

How loud is that flex ATX power supply on idle and under load?

I don't think they use liquid metal for the CPU. I've seen people disassemble it on the Minisforum discord and there was a plaster-like thermal "paste" used that was hard and brittle. I haven't checked my BD790i yet, though.

How many frames would this build push on cs2 on medium settings?

Hopefully,people I'll look at this video and build one for themselves.

the BD790i seems to suffer from the problem that the BIOS doesn't save the setting after being disconnected from power. Does your unit have the same issue?

This is probably THE BEST "mini" PC I've ever seen. The first one thar doesn't feel gimped with too much tradeoff to fit things in. At least with the CPU. It's a perfectly capable CPU all around for most uses. However, the one lacking spot is the 4060. I think it's just not a capable enough GPU for most modern gaming. I think a 4060 ti is about the lowest viable gaming GPU. Building anything lower than that just seems kind of a waste to me.

How good would it work in a Velka 3 or 5?

I wonder how good that 4060 low profile is on 4k with games using full DLSS, probably will look so good and cannot tell compare to a high power one, if the game supports it
