**A Delicate Build: A Journey Through the Assembly Process**
As we begin our journey through the assembly process, it's clear that this build is going to require patience and attention to detail. The first step is to remove the motherboard from its packaging and prepare it for installation. The reviewer notes that the mounting bracket is not used in this build, so we're only using the back plate. This means that any RMA or replacement parts will need to be done separately.
**A Cat's Eye View**
As the reviewer holds up the heat sink, they can't help but smile at the cat butt hole B-role on the motherboard. They're happy to have put too much material on, and the reviewer notes that it's purely for aesthetic purposes. The S version of this heat sink is available, which only comes with one fan, providing a cost-effective alternative.
**Installation and Testing**
The next step is to install the fans, which will not only provide cooling but also serve as a visual element in the build. The reviewer notes that they've installed just one fan, purely for looks, no other reason. They also mention that you can save a buck by opting for the S version of this heat sink.
As we move on to testing, it's clear that the reviewer is excited about the potential of this build. They make sure that all the parts fit together seamlessly, and the standoffs for the motherboard expansion piece are pre-installed. The reviewer also notes that they've chosen 140 millimeter fans, which will provide adequate airflow without being too bulky.
**Cable Management**
One of the most challenging aspects of this build is cable management at the back. The reviewer notes that it's a bit tricky to get everything in place, but with a few adjustments, they manage to make it work. They remove a cable and a half inch drive mount, which allows them to create a more organized look.
**Power Supply**
As we move on to the power supply, the reviewer is surprised to find that there's a secondary four-pin connector coming off of the 24 pin power connector. This seems unusual, but the reviewer notes that it's not a major issue, as most of the power will still be provided by the eight-pin CPU power connector.
**The Graphics Card**
Finally, we arrive at the graphics card, which is the pièce de résistance of this build. The reviewer has opted for an 6800 XT, the second down from the top of the line to match their CPU. This provides extreme performance without breaking the bank.
The graphics card is also a showcase for ASRock's capabilities, with features like HDMI 2.1, dual display ports, and USB type C. The reviewer notes that they've chosen to keep the LEDs off by default, as everyone knows you need RGB for optimal performance. However, they do mention that the cables are not long enough to be tidy.
**A Touch of Personality**
As we finish up the build, the reviewer adds a personal touch with their favorite mousepad and a display stand. They also take a moment to acknowledge Marques's birthday, which had been forgotten in the excitement of building the system.
The final result is a system that's not only aesthetically pleasing but also packed with performance. The reviewer notes that they've spent a lot of time tuning the fans to ensure that the system remains quiet and efficient. However, this came at the cost of missing Marques's birthday, which serves as a reminder that even in the world of gaming, there's always room for improvement.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- What's interesting about today's build,is not just that it's among the fastestthat money can buy or thatit's all AMD, CPU and GPU.But also that it manages to useamong the largest CPUcoolers on the market,a full-sized ATX motherboardand yet the whole case,the whole packaging forthe case is only this big.Meet the Lain-Li O11 Dynamic Mini,the tiny case that can fitalmost anything inside it.And this video is brought to you by Ting.Ting is a customer focused mobile providerand they have new ratesto help you save even moreon your monthly service plan.Learn more at the end of the videoor by checking out the link below.(upbeat music)Given then that the main focusof this build is, in fact, the case.I'm just gonna go aheadand clear all this otherstuff off the table.(soft music)We've got an installation guide.You might actually wanna check outtheir video installation guide as well,because it can be a little bit tricky.A whack ton of brackets.We've got one for extendingthe motherboard tray,basing out the back panel,pump mount or something.More brackets. That wasn'tenough brackets already.(metal clattering)Screws, cable ties, andall of that good stuff.As we'd expect from Lian-Li,the case is madepredominantly out of aluminum.So you can see, got my littlemagnet here, it doesn't stick.And it being 2020, ituses tempered glass panelsin both the front and side.Of course, that doesn't meanthat they've skimmed on airflow.It was built in collaborationwith renowned Overclocker,der8auer, and leanlyadvertises adequate airflow.And I tend to believe them.They've got fan mounts over here.They've got the abilityto mount fans in the top,in the bottom, you can basicallyfill this thing with fansand/or radiators, dependingon how much other hardwareyou wanna stuff inside it.The biggest reconfigurableportion of the case,and this is reallyinnovative, is the back panel.So you can see, out of the box,it's designed to take afull-sized ATX motherboard.That is freaking cool,given the size of it.The whole case is barely astall as an ATX motherboard.But, of course, that's gonnacome with some compromises.If you do that, you're not gonna be ableto easily fit a radiatorin the top, for example.So if you don't like thatoption, you wanna go, ah,let's say mATX, you cango ahead, pop these out,pop a spacer in here,move the whole thing down,and now you've got a tonof clearance at the topfor going water cooling.So cool! Look at that!They've got these ferrous metal stripson either side of these perforations.That allows you to mounta magnetic fan filter,or if you really wanted to, an RGB strip.We won't be using it, butdespite its diminutive size,the case does allow threeand a half inch hard drivesto be installed.And what's more, they'reactually accessible (groans)via this cover at the back.This is one of the really nice thingsabout these cube style cases,is once you get all the panelsoff of them, holy smokes,do you ever have a ton of room to work.Ah! (panting)Oh! That's what happens,you've got a big nose.You get a little whack therewhen you drop something.This is a motherboard tray expansion.It's configured by defaultfor a mini ITX motherboardwith the assumption thatyou're going to fill itwith hardline water cooling hardwareor something along those lines.But we are going for as manyexpansion slots as we can.One of the nice things is that Lian-Liconsidered not just the radiatorelement of water cooling,but also where to mount the pumpand they included a modular pump bracket.A plus, good job guys.Now, before we start installingthe rest of the components,I wanna talk about the last thingthat allows this case to be so compactwithout compromising expansion.And that's the fact that ittakes an SFX L power supply.I am a big fan of these power supplies.They are just as smallin the X and Y dimensionas an SFX power supply butthey're slightly deeper,which allows them to takea 120 millimeter fan.Now it's still a slim 120 millimeter fan,meaning it's not asquiet as a thicker one,because it just can't generateenough static pressureunless it spins faster.But it is a great compromisebetween SFX and ATXand you can get them in likecrazy configurations now.Look at this, this is an 800 watt,fully modular powersupply, that's this skinny.So that is what keeps thethickness of the case down, slash,allows it to have nicetall graphics cards.You could probably put anRTX 3090 in this thing,if you could find one.Enough case talk, let's moveon to the meat and potatoes.You don't have to spend a ton of moneyto get a fully featured X570 boardthat's gonna allow you to get the mostout of your Ryzen 5000 CPU.This one here has four memory slots,decent VRM for overclocking,USB 3.1 front panel support.It's got two M.2 slots that both runat PCI express Gen four speeds.And it even has support forNvidia SLI and CrossFire.For our CPU, we've gone with the sensible,but still very high end, Ryzen 9 5900X.This is the only one in our entire office,so as soon as I'm done with this build,I will be promptly taking it back apartand giving it back to Anthony,so that he can use iton his GPU test bench.(vocalizing) For Ram,we've gone full bore.This is 64 gigs of G.SKILL Trident Z Neo3600 megahertz CL 16.So that's about as high as you're gonna gobefore you start gettinginto pretty darn pricey DRAM.Now, as for whether youwant to go four sticksor two sticks, if you're goingfor absolute maximum speeds,yeah, two sticks is what you want.But this is more of a kitted out machine,so we're going for capacity.Now we can take care of M.2 storage.Of course we've gone with theever fancy Rocket NVMe 4.0.This is a two terabyte model from Sabrentand it comes with a gigantic heat sink.The assembly process for thisguy is pretty straightforward.You just peel the thermaltape at the bottom,put this puppy right here.This is if you have a double-sided drive,like the one that we have,so there's flash chips on the other side.Gotta keep those, notcool, but cool enough.Then there's already apre-applied thermal padon the bottom of the heat sink.So we just take that, plunk it on top,then we pop the M.2 into the slot,and it's a little tricky withthat heat pipe in the way.I installed it backwards, ah man.See, there's three heat pipes on this sideand two on this side, soit's easier to screw it in.Now because I don't feel likeputting an OS on the drivewe're using for the build,I'm just gonna chuck mytest bench drive down here.Doo doo doo doo doo!Shh, you never saw anything.Ah, it's Gen 3, oh no. Boo hiss.Time to put a heat sink on this puppy.(soft music continues)Now you're probably thinking, gee, Linus.An NH-D15 chromax.black? Really?In that compact case?And I would reply, yes.Weren't you paying attention before?Here's a really important tech tip,if you have a heat sink that doesn't usethe original mounting bracket,please, please keep it safe.You'll need it if youever RMA your motherboardor if you change out yourcooler to one that does use it.So we're only using the back plate,which means I'm gonna put therest of this into the box.(soft music continues)Hi! Oh, that is some goodcat butt hole B-role there.He's happy that you'reupset I put too much on.I'm only installing one of the fans here.That is purely for looks, no other reason.You can also save a buckand get the S versionof this heat sink that onlycomes with the one fan.Now we just gotta plugin the fan. (groans)Now it's time for the moment of truth,where we make sure that allof this stuff actually fits.The standoffs for themotherboard expansion pieceare pre-installed, so you don'teven have to deal with that.That is sweet!Not bad at all.Okay, while my intention wasto use 120 millimeter fence,the ones Jake sent meappear to be the onesthat were on the roof of the old officeas part of whole room water cooling,so they're absolutely filthy.I guess we're going with 140 mils,so we can fit two of themas intakes over here.Those'll also dryer over the power supplyand the hard drives, and then two of them,and I guess I'll gointakes for those as well,down here on the bottom.We do have two more mounts at the top.Man, these feet are super clever.They've got another slot of them over herefor the fan filter to slide in.I love it!(metal clattering)Oops, there's definitelya little bit of trickinessgetting at the cablemanagement at the back until...Well, hopefully (mumbles).You remove this two anda half inch drive mount.(metal clattering)There we go!It seems like the 24 pin onthis SilverStone power supplyhas a second four pin coming off of itthat looks to be for thesecondary CPU power connector.I guess I'll just try it.There's a separate eightpin that's gonna providemost of the power for the CPU anyway,so I'm not worried that it'sgoing to brick anything.Mostly. It's just areally weird thing to do.Why break the standard in that manner?(metal clattering)Okay.This is where the build gets disorganized.I can't have the fan cables up here,bent a certain way andget a 140 mil fan in here,but we did get it in.Now, finally, after muchwaiting and cable management,it's time for the graphics card.We've gone with a 6800 XT, the second downfrom the top of the line to match our CPU.Making this, not a bangfor the buck machineby any stretch of the imagination,but an extreme performance machinewithout spending way too muchfor only a small additionalperformance gain.And this is actually my first hands-onwith an ASRock graphics card.They became an AMD boardpartner, I wanna say,a couple of years ago.My goodness, this thing is anabsolute monster, isn't it?HDMI 2.1, dual display ports, USB type C,three cooling fans.If it was me, I might've justput a bigger cooling fan in the middle,rather than this decorativefascia piece here,but it's not up to me.And look at that!They've actually got a built-in switchso you can turn the LEDs on and off.Naturally, we'll be leading the LEDs onbecause we want the fullperformance of this cardand everyone knows you need RGB for that.PCI express Gen 4, here wego, ladies and gentlemen.But they're not shortenough for it to be tidyto plug them straight into the same cardand they're not long enoughto get them out of the way.I'm not impressed with these cables.Are we done?(metal clanging)I wasn't kidding whenI said that back planeis not as strong as a one piece one.(metal clattering)There we go.You can peel off theplastic too, if you'd like.That's the best part.Ow!Working on the setup here, naturally,got my lttstore.comnorthern lights mousepad.All right, I'm finally ingame, the system's not loud,and all that time spent fan tuning cost mewas missing Marques's birthday.Didn't even send a tweet andnow he's probably sleeping.It also costs me a lot of time.You can see it as dark outside.So, happy birthday Marquesand I'm sorry, my children,for not spending any time with.But hey, the good news isI'm playing \"DOOM Eternal\"at 4K ultra details at170 to 200 FPS on all AMD.All right. I wanna seewhat kind of temps we gotand then we can call it here.I'm just gonna beat all these baddiesand leave this running in this room,so that it'll heat up or not heat up!See how it goes.I'm back, this has been runningfor a couple of hours now,so let's go ahead and tab up.Seriously? Hardware infowasn't running this whole time?Oh, for crying out loud.67 max? Dang!Huh, oh, hotspot temperature, 85 max.Oh, that's right, that's an AMD featurethat allows them to take the temperatureof exactly the hottest point of the dyeand use that to throttletheir turboing behavior.All right, GPU clock.Minimum, just shy of 2.1 gigahertz, dang.As for this CPU, wemaxed out at 82.6 degreesand that's with the fan speeds locked.So not allowing them toramp up for maximum cooling.All and all, not a bad little machine,given how small it is,and the fact that westuck with air cooling.I'd be interested to see whatwe could do with this thingwith a water loop now.And the power supplydoesn't ramp up too badwhile it's going ham.Freaking love it.Just like I love tellingyou guys about our sponsors.Sponsors like Ting mobile!Ting mobile has new ratesthat make it easier to seehow much you can save by switching.They've got unlimited talkand text for 10 bucks,data plans that start at $15,and unlimited data for 45.And if you liked their previouspay-for-what-you-use plans,they're still there.They're called Ting Flexand they start at just $5 per gigabyte.Data can even be shared ifyou've got a family plan,so you can connect morephones to save more.You'll still get nationwidecoverage in the U.S.and they're award-winning service.And pretty much any phonewill work with Ting.So check them out linus.ting.comand get a $25 credit.If you guys enjoyed this videoand you love just seeingteam red gaming machinesthat are super powerful,you might also so enjoythe one where we openedone up from Digital Stormthat's literally thefastest gaming machinethat you can get.\n"
