**Building with Limitations: The New KKS BK1 Case**
In this video, I'll be showing you how to build a system using the new KKS BK1 case. This is actually one of the smallest cases I've ever worked with, and it took me some time to get used to its compact size. However, overall everything fit together really well, and I'm excited to share my experience building with this tiny case.
**The Case**
As you can see from the photos, the KKS BK1 is a small case that's designed for mini-ITX systems. The motherboard mounts are made of high-quality aluminum, which gives the case some rigidity inside. One of the things I like about this case is its unique design, which features a dark finish on the front panel.
**Components and Build**
I'm using an SFX power supply, a mini ITX Z 390 motherboard, an RT X 2070 GPU, a 512 GB m2 drive attached to the motherboard, a 1 TB 2.5-inch SSD that mounts underneath the power supply, and a Silverstone CPU cooler. Building this system wasn't too hard, but it did require some planning and patience. I had to carefully plan out which components would go in before others, as there's limited space inside the case.
**Testing and Performance**
I've been testing my system for about two hours now, and so far everything is running smoothly. The highest temperature I've seen on my GPU was 71 degrees Celsius, while my CPU has stayed at a cool 69 degrees Celsius. This is thanks to the Silverstone CPU cooler, which I'm really happy with. I also haven't messed around with any of the fan curves yet, but I plan to do some further testing later.
**Comparison and Conclusion**
To put this system into perspective, my main PC is actually much bigger than this case. However, despite its small size, the KKS BK1 seems to work really well. The setup I've chosen here should be suitable for most users, although it's worth noting that the performance will depend on the specific components used.
**Specs and Comparison**
For comparison, my previous system was built with a different case and configuration. Here are some of the specs I used for that build: CPU - i-5 9600 K; motherboard - Asrock Z 390 Phantom Gaming Mini ITX; cooler - Silverstone Argon Series A-R11; RAM - Team Force DDR4 at 3200 MHz; storage - Team Force 2.5-inch One Terabyte SSD; power supply - EVGA 850 GA, 80+ Gold 650W SFX; GPU - EVGA RT X 2070 Super.
**Release Date and Price**
The KKS BK1 case is expected to release soon, with a Kickstarter campaign already live. The base price without the fans is $135, while the full version with the fans will be $145. There's also a black version available, although I personally prefer the silver finish with gold accents.
**Next Steps and Future Content**
I'll be doing more testing on this system in the coming days, including running some games and benchmarks to see how it performs. I'll also be doing another video featuring a build using the KKS BK1 case, so keep an eye out for that. As always, thanks for watching!
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on guys the CTA Prime back here again today we're gonna be taking a quick look at the upcoming kks bk1 mini ITX super small form-factor pc case so i've had the pleasure to spend a few days with this so far and keep in mind that the one I have here is actually one of the first prototypes this is up on Kickstarter right now and they're available for a hundred and thirty five US dollars the company kks be is out of sweden and you might notice their name because they do a lot of smaller cases for raspberry PI's and other single board computers but they wanted to get into the PC market and I was lucky enough to get a chance to take a first look at this thing and do a build inside of it and overall this thing is tiny the overall dimensions on this case are 310 millimeters by 138 by 195 but it will fit a full sized 300 millimeter dual slot graphics card and that's what I'm gonna be trying out today so all the silver you see on this case is full high-quality aluminum where the motherboard mounts and where the power supply mounts itself is made of steel this actually gives it some rigidity inside of the case now in this video I'm not gonna go over the steps it took me to build this and I will leave my full specs in the description because this is actually the tiniest case I've ever worked with and it did take me a little while to get used to it but overall everything fit in here really nice I'm using an SFX power supply mini ITX Z 390 motherboard with a 9600 K and for the GPU I chose the RT X 2070 there's a 512 gigabyte m2 attached to the motherboard itself and I also wanted to add a one terabyte 2.5 inch SSD and that drive can actually mount underneath the power supply but I kind of like the way this looks so I just set it up the way I wanted build wasn't hard at all now some parts do need to go in before others and I did run into a couple issues here and there but that was kind of on my in basically to get everything in a small case like this she kind of got to act like you're playing Tetris I was actually pretty surprised at how quiet this case is given that we don't have much room for airflow here now I'm just running some benchmarks I've actually had this up and running for 16 hours now and all the sounds you're hearing here is actually coming from that our TX 2070 I haven't messed around with any of the fan curves on the CPU or the GPU yet I do plan on making another video later on but I've done a lot of testing on this and the highest I've had my GPU hit was 71 degrees Celsius and as for the CP you 69 degrees Celsius keep in mind that this is the 9600 K 4.2 gigahertz six cores and I'm using that 47 millimeters Silverstone CPU cooler there is room in here for a taller cooler but I've had really good luck with this specific cooler so like I mentioned I will have another video coming up on this we'll do a build and we'll do some more testing here now I got a little more to go here but so far so good I've been up and running for 16 hours I've been testing for about two to three hours and with the parts I chose here everything's staying relatively cool seeing how small this case is now obviously this is all really going to depend on what CPU GPU and cooler you use but the setup I have here seems to work really well in this small form-factor case just to give you an idea of how truly small this case is on the right hand side I have a dark flash DLM 21 now this supports a micro ATX or a mini ITX motherboard it's really not that big of a case my main PC is actually much bigger than this but this is one that I built recently and as you can see it absolutely dwarfs the new kks bk1 so this thing is ridiculously small and since we're here I'll give you a quick rundown on the specs I use for the k1 build for the CPU I opted for the i-5 9600 K an asrock Z 390 phantom gaming mini ITX motherboard for the cooler a silverstone argon series a r11 and like I mentioned there is room in here for a taller cooler 16 gigabytes of team force ddr4 at 3200 megahertz a team force 2.5 inch one terabyte SSD and I also have an m dot too attached to the board itself for the power supply up to 4 C Sonic 650 watt SFX and the GPU is the EVGA r-tx 27 t in terms of performance this does a really good job with 1080p and 1440p gaming and if you're interested in seeing more on the k1 build definitely keep an eye on the channel because I do have a couple more videos coming up I still want to get a little more testing out of the way but then we'll be testing out some games running some benchmarks and even some higher end emulation so if you're interested in getting your hands on one of these when it releases the kick starter is going live right now like I mentioned it's 135 dollars without the two sixty millimeter fans or 145 with them they also offer a black version but obviously I have the silver here and personally I really like this with the gold accents so that's pretty much it for this one guys I just wanted to you a quick look at the new k1 case keep an eye on the channel because I got a lot more coming but like always thanks for watchingwhat's going on guys the
