**Building and Upgrading a Small Form Factor Gaming PC**

I'm starting with the bottom right corner to brace the whole motherboard firmly in place, tightening them up corner by corner until the entire motherboard is secure. This will ensure that the program address is being made. Next, I'll be moving on to the power supply, which I expect most of you guys are familiar with installing, so I won't go into too much detail about it. However, I'm hoping that Corsair's HX1000i fits okay and that I can get all the cables running to the right locations.

The good news is that although it's resting, it will be slightly elevated, which means it does fit, but we're not going to have the clearance I thought we were going to have for the liquid cooler for our deep cool 240 ml. However, we might have enough clearance for something like this. This is a Jewel, and it's also called the dual-Tower air cooler. An air cooler is not quite as ideal as I would have liked, but it's still in my view a better option than going for a 120 ml liquid cooler personally speaking.

This one isn't too tall either, so it might just be about to save the day. I think that might work. It actually fits okay, all right, I'm gonna breathe, I'm gonna relax, and I'm gonna go ahead and pop the graphics card in first. The 4080 and 4090 founders are exactly the same size, get all that screwed into the triple slots, and then I'll be back with you to try and figure out this damn cooler situation.

I mean it's tight out there. We go a bit of a click, a couple of screws, and I think we'll be fine. Okay, so graphics card's in. Next up, I'm going to try and swap the cooler over and I'll be back with you to let you know whether I've succeeded or indeed failed. Hopefully, the former of the two. Oh it fits, guys. It fits does the side panel go on of course it does.

Look at that, oh I actually prefer that. I actually think that looks better than what the liquid cooler would have looked like. Oh it looks sick. I am going to do one thing, I'm gonna add an RGB fan at the back and also run the PCI Gen 5 power cable. I think we might not be able to hide it unfortunately.

And then package this build up, boot it up, and check out performance in just a few moments time. I am very very excited. Oh I need to sleep now. Nice so this build is finally working and looking fantastic in the process but how well does this small form factor system perform? Well, I've added in the RCX 4090 booted up some of the most popular games in a bid to find out.

The first of which if Call of Duty's Warzone 2 at 4K High settings with DLSS enabled and set to Performance mode. This build achieved a stellar 147 frames per second on average, a frame rate that is sure to satisfy even the most competitive 4K Gamers. Move through into Modern Warfare 2 remastered. Basically the same game architecture design under the hood, and the frame rate does rise a bit using identical settings 4K High DLSS once again at performance mode to 181 FPS on average.

That's going to be more than enough to satisfy high refresh rate 165 Hertz 4K gaming monitors, and also of course deliver over 200 FPS if you did drop the resolution down to 1440p. Fortnite at 1080p competitive settings was also a very good show of results here with everything tuned down to low except for the render distance which was set to far. The build pulled in 345 FPS on average, lovely stuff.

Move back up to 4K and Apex Legends. The next title today and the build achieved a stunning 176 FPS with strong 90 and 99 percentiles. To wrap up the testing, we also booted up a little bit of Formula One 2022 to put DLSS 3.0 through its paces here at 4K using the ultra-high preset with DLSS S3 enabled and Ray tracing turned to high.

The build pulled in an amazing 194 FPS on average at 4K, the 4090 is a stunning GPU that certainly doesn't lack any power if of course you've got a case large enough and a wallet deep enough to stomach its huge price tag. If you enjoy this video make sure to drop a like right in. Thanks for watching as always we'll see you in the next one or at least I hope we will

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat is up guys welcome back to another geeko art video in this one I'm going to be building the ultimate small form factor gaming PC for 2023 and Beyond this is a build that means business with a top of the line ryzen 7000 processor RTX 4000 series graphics and components that will make your eyes water and to be fair your bank account bleed I'll walk you through the parts that make this build possible how to put together an awesome small form factor PC like this one and of course performance a little bit later let's do this first things first I'm going to walk through the parts I chose and why starting with this the fractal torrent Nano computer case it's my latest Amazon purchase so I'll leave a link to it down below and after seeing it in action in a few other builds I thought it had great potential for this system it's not the smallest mini ITX case on the market but it's feature packed and is great for large graphics cards like this one talking of which this is a Founders Edition RTX 4080 but I'm actually as the video progresses going to swap this out with a Founders Edition 4090. the reason it's not here by the way is because I left it at home in my new personal setup the video of which you might have seen if not check out the cards it's a very good one 4080 or 490 though are both going to work very well you've of course got top of the line specs with loads of video memory RTE cores tensor cores dlss3 and even if you don't give a monkeys about any of nvidia's latest fancy features still the fastest gaming graphics card on the market in terms of the 4090 cpuis I am going ryzen I'll give you a couple of reasons for that in a moment and I've picked up the 7950x I'm waiting on their new 7950 x3d so that could also be worth considering but for now the 7950x is gonna do ryzen 7000 has had some challenges but they're still great CPUs in many many respects and they've come on a long way since launch the x3d chips of course give you that new and improved cash which will give you a bit more frame rate and a bit more gaming performance the whole build will be built on to the motherboard of course from Asus this is the rockstrix x670e gaming Wi-Fi now this one's got a few fancy features but Asus have been really on it when it comes to Mini ITX boards in recent years with this huge stack under the PCI Lane you've got loads of connectivity loads of expandability and I'll run you through the Nitty Gritty details of it a bit later all you need to know for now though is that this is a great choice RAM and storage will be provided by a couple of my favorites I've got Corsair X poke Expo is like amd's kind of new XMP profile technology bit confusing but this is good for ryzen 7000 low latency 6000 megahertz in terms of the speed so nice and fast and it's gonna do the job nice it looks good I like it of course there this memory is a Vibe storage wise Samsung 990 SSD Pro this is a two terabyte drive read them rights in the region of about seven and a half gigabytes a second very very solid Drive Great endurance ratings great speed and not too expensive compared to some of the alternate competition the whole build will be powered by corsair's hx1000i if you're opting for the slightly weaker 4080 the rm850x will be totally fine but the hx1000i is going to give us a bit more wattage for those top end 4090 builds and of course overclocking the very power hungry and quite warm running ryzen 7950x I've also picked up a couple of other bits and Bobs Cooling in the form of deep cools LS 520 it's a 240 mil is the max we can pop in this case at least in the front of the chassis so this pushes the limits and it's a really great coolant I love the water block design I love its installation method and I love the performance you get deep cooler really great when it comes to coolers final few bits of accessories for a bit more wow factor I've got this easy DIY fab right angle 24 pin motherboard power cable basically this is going to help with cave Management in a small case I've also picked up these custom sleeve cable extensions from easy DIY Fab these particular ones are of a dark gray and black variety I suppose one other thing I've also bought from corsair's Web Store linked below again is a PCI Gen 5 Type 4 power connector basically it takes the PCI connections from the power supply and turns them into the super small Gen 5 cable perfect for cave management and making of course a 40 series GPU look that bit more Stellar otherwise though I think we're ready to build a gaming PC so let's get the torrent Nano out of its bloody box and let's build this system once and for all I am very very excited I want to take a second to complement fractal on a the really sick Rebrand and internal packaging and also the fact they give you the accessory box right at the top in the front of the case there's no hunting around to try and find it I like it when Brands make things easy although I will say this is not the cheapest mini ITX case out there so you'd kind of hope it's included very lightweight is my first impressions I know it sounds really stupid because this is a small form factor build but you kind of forget how small these things really are sometimes let's take a tour around shall we the Nano so at the front it's got a 180 mil fan tempered glass side panel here on the i o we've got a power button front and center 2 USB 3.0 ports headphone mic USBC and your reset I'm not sure are these tallers yes they are what at least the grass one is the rear panel is also looking pretty taller so let's pull that one off oh that's glass as well very nice there are a few different variants of this case available so you can get like a more Sleek one a white one a black one or one with RGB and that's black which is what I've gone for in this build so yeah First Impressions very nice indeed important things to note in terms of ITX cases it does actually fit a full-size ATX power supply so I'm going to give that a go I have got some sfx units so if it's a bit tight up there we can swap it out and in terms of the PCI Lanes at the back if you take a look just here we've got three so that's going to fit triple slot cards with a bit of mesh on the bottom so unfortunately there's no clearance for us to add any fans in with those big graphics cards but it can still access air from under the case and the GPU can still pull in that fresh air from underneath Founder's card is going to be great with the fan on the top because then you're not just relying on the bottom for airflow I'm going to recommend what I always recommend when it comes to building a PC and that's to take off all the panels I'll leave the bottom ones on but this top one should certainly come off quite how I'm not actually sure so let's figure that out uh-huh pull it back lift it off and inside there ah this is clever there's a drive bay for three and a half or two and a half inch hard drive SSD and also a little accessories box very very nice to see indeed I like that a lot I think what I'm going to do next is actually go ahead and pop as much as I can onto the motherboard and get the motherboard in and then I can start thinking about my other components afterwards this has to be one of the biggest Mini ITX motherboard boxes ever so let's find out why shall we motherboard is first looks pretty good see what I mean about all that connectivity there's loads of m.2 drives all in this Gap just here IO is also pretty solid a bit of a fan as well this person some air out the rear I own 40 gigabits Thunderbolt 4 Port mini display port only two and a half gig ethernet but we do get Wi-Fi six now otherwise inside there's a few other bits and Bobs so there's our sort of regular accessories in here which is like Wi-Fi and key rings and USB cables apparently and then over on the other side there is a a Rog fps2 card what does this do give me like another 30 frames per second for free or what's the what kind of trickery erasers doing so yeah aha so basically this plugs into the motherboard and gives you a few more ports it gives you more USB headers a couple more SATA ports all that kind of stuff pretty useful I wouldn't call it the FPS card though that's a bit weird and then also in here is something called the Asus Rog strix Hive which is wrapped side of an anti-static bag and it's basically an external audio DAC so you've got USB port is one of which you can use for like bios updates you've got headphone and mic Jacks for an external audio there's a few lights on here different effects you can tune and adjust and then also a volume Wheels this is very nice to have on the top of a desk and also of course allows Asus to cram more features onto this board without needing more space and avoiding of course the constraints of the Mini ITX form factor so that is mighty fine so let me package this all away and move things along with our build by adding the CPU into the motherboard now of course this is one of the first things that you want to do in any build and be easily installed once I've managed to get it out of the box by just lining up one triangle with another and popping it in of course New Rising chips have pins on the motherboard rather than pins on the CPU that's good and bad it makes the CPUs themselves less delicate but the motherboards a bit more delicate Ram is going to be next up the Expo kit is very easy to install on this build in particular because there are only two actual slots so there's only two places where the two dimms can actually go both those slots are going to go back and then the ram slides in nice and easily so dim number one and then of course dim numero too SSD is going to be next Samsung's SSD 990 Pro I need to take off the very top m.2 heatsink with a small screwdriver often referred to on the channel as a teeny tiny screwdriver before placing the drive-in and popping the heatsink back on this will help to keep the drive cool which is important as these drives Cameron hotter than older historical m.2s that m.2 drive does not look right at all does it great spot what the hell has happened there is it State then or is it okay no it's fine no that's okay there next up I think I want to prep some of the cooler installation now before moving the motherboard into the case and making things more complicated but I don't actually know yet how this cooler installs so I'm going to take it out the box have a quick peek at the instructions and see if I can figure it out so my research Mission has been successful and I've concluded I need to do a few things the first of which is take this bag now this bag here contains all the things we'll need for an AMD based install so we've got the screws and stoppers for the motherboard and the frame for the cooler itself now what you need to do is first of all remove these two plastic brackets around the CPU so we're going to take off the top one first do keep this safe because if you decide to upgrade later say to a you know more beefy cooler it might not use these brackets but it also similarly might use the brackets and it's good to have that insurance policy or alternatively if you ever decided you wanted to sell the motherboard having those available for the person who buys it off you can be pretty useful the rest of the caller installation can wait I might just add these AMD brackets onto the bottom of the water block and the pump area now just to save a job later but otherwise I think we're ready to finally move the motherboard into the case at least we know that is all going to fit A-Okay before moving on to get the power supply in and finishing things off with the GPU how very very exciting here we go now with it being an idx case shouldn't have too many compatibility issues getting it in in terms of an ITX board all the screws will be in the right place and hopefully if I line up the i o Shield at the back the rest of it should just follow nicely he says as he drops the motherboard there is a raised standoff which should hold the motherboard in but it's in the bottom right which makes sense but it's just trying to get it lined up there we are I think we're all good motherboard screws and of course we just need to put one in each corner I might start with the one on the bottom right just to brace the whole motherboard a bit more firmly into place tightening them up corner by corner until the whole motherboard is in and nice and secure so program address is being made I think next up I'm going to go for the boring part the power supply just to get it in I'm expecting most of you guys will know how to install a power supply so it won't go over too many details with

is not quite as ideal however it's still in my view a better option than going for a 120 ml liquid cooler personally speaking this one isn't too tall either so it might well just be about to save the day I think that might work it actually fits okay all right I'm gonna breathe I'm gonna relax I'm gonna go ahead and pop the graphics card in first of course 4080 and 4090 founders are exactly the same size get all that screwed into the triple slots and then I'll be back with you to try and figure out this damn cooler situation I mean it's tight out there we go a bit of a click a couple of screws and I think we'll be fine okay so Graphics card's in next up I'm going to try and swap the cooler over and I'll be back with you to let you know whether I've succeeded or indeed failed hopefully the former of the two oh it fits guys it fits does the side panel go on of course it does look at that oh I actually prefer that I actually think that looks better than what the liquid cooler would have looked like oh it looks sick I am going to do one thing I'm gonna add an RGB fan at the back and also run the PCI Gen 5 power cable I think we might not be able to hide it unfortunately and then package this build up boot it up and check out performance in just a few moments time I am very very excited oh I need to sleep now nice so this build is finally working and looking fantastic in the process but how well does this small form factor system perform well I've added in the rcx 4090 booted up some of the most popular games in a bid to find out the first of which if Call of Duty's Warzone 2 at 4K High settings with dlss enabled and set to Performance mode this build achieved a stellar 147 frames per second on average a frame rate that is sure to satisfy even the most competitive 4K Gamers move through into Modern Warfare 2 remastered basically the same game architecture design under the hood and the frame rate does rise a bit using identical settings 4K high dlss once again at performance to 181 FPS on average that's going to be more than enough to satisfy High refresh rate 165 Hertz 4K gaming monitors and also of course deliver over 200 FPS if you did drop the resolution down to 1440p fortnite at 1080p competitive settings was also a very good show of results here with everything tuned down to low except the render distance which was set to far the build pulled in 345 FPS on average lovely stuff moved back up to 4K and Apex Legends the next title today and the build achieved a stunning 176 FPS with strong 90 and 99 percentiles to boots as ever all of the frame rate data was captured using both MSI afterburner's Reaver tuner and Nvidia frame view OverWatch 2 was also a good show in 4K Ultra in this title delivered more than 250 frames per second on average while to wrap up the testing and we also booted up a little bit of Formula One 2022 to put dlss 3.0 through its Paces here at 4K using the ultra high preset with DLS S3 enabled and Ray tracing turned to high the build pulled in an amazing 194 FPS on average at 4K the 4090 is a stunning GPU that certainly doesn't lack any power if of course you've got a case large enough and a wallet deep enough to stomach its huge price tag if you enjoy this video make sure to drop a like right in thanks for watching as always we'll see you in the next one or at least I hope we will\n"
