Beautiful case, looks factory made. I travel on planes and would like a gaming PC to take along inside a carryon bag or luggage. I would like to hear recommendations for a purchase or build if necessary to use for extended hours of gaming. I'm afraid the Geekom may have cooling limitations for long hours of gaming, and powerful gaming laptops are too expensive.
You could look at a slightly more powerful mini PC that doesn't require an external GPU and has better cooling - ruclips.net/video/6S8g4iw8gJE/видео.html
@@MichaelKlements Thank you so much for responding. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a Chronos with a 7800x3d & a 4800 super inside a 10x8x18 case from Origin PC. I know it's $$$, but it's a desktop with SFF that I can place inside a carryon. I would love to know your opinion if you have time.
I haven't tried the GPD G1, but at over $700 for a mobile version of the RX7600 it seems quite expensive. You can buy a USB 4 PCIe adaptor for about $110 and an RX7600 for around $250 so you'd be in for half the price of the G1 is you built it yourself.
can you get better oerformance from the GPU if its conected directly to the mother board than using a cable using one of the USB C 40gbyts port? as en external ?
dude i really want to have this kind of setup, i have mini pc running ryzen 5 5500u with APU/igpu max at 4gg but its not enough to run multiple bluestacks and heavy games. I want to add egpu badly. i have spare m.2 slot which is 2242 i think will that work? because my m.2 2280 occupied as a main boot drive and i dont want to replace it or swap. hopefully you could answer my question.
The 2242 M.2 port is a SATA port, you can't add a PCIe device to that port. Your only options would be to migrate the boot drive to a 2.5" SSD or onto a 2242 SATA drive and free up the 2280 port. Alternately you could add a GPU via. USB 4
Great setup and video! Would the m.2 to PCIE adapter work in the 2242 adapter instead of the 2280? The Geekom Mini IT13 has 2 m.2 slots so maybe that would work?
No, the second M.2 slot is a M.2 SATA port so the PCIe adaptor won't work in it - that's why I had to use the 2.5" boot drive. I could have rather used a M.2 SATA boot drive in the free slot but just didn't have an M.2 SATA drive available.
@@MichaelKlements Thanks for that! So I could use the adapter in 2280 for eGPU and boot off of a 1TB 2242 with a 2.5 'data' drive sounds like. Again thanks so much for your vids and expertise!
The single lane means you can't get the full throughput to the GPU, so there is some additional GPU performance that the PC won't be able to make use of for GPU intensive tasks.
I just returned my GEEKOM i7 13th gen because fans were really annoying. Parameters were good, but only this one aspect was terrible, and there is no possibility to buy A6 with AMD. Shame on you Geekom.
Hi Michael, absolutely loved youe build. I am looking to do the same as this. Can you give me a costing on supplying the case. I would buy directly from you if you give me a costi Ilive in Brisban Australia. Cheers mate.
@@MichaelKlements great. I’ve just ordered one, not really for gaming more for an always on machine to connect into when I need Windows for work stuff but it’s nice to have the option.
Our latest GEEKOM A8 has upgraded the gaming experience. You can try it.😉
The use of eGPU was amazing in this build. Could you please create a guide for using eGPU with 3D printed case.
Thank you! Sure, I'll look into doing this for a future project.
I have a 5600g and it is a 65W processor. If 45W is "little", then mine can also pass as a laptop processor :D
Fantastic mod and I would love to setup mine like yours.
your case make is SUPERB....it is amazing bro
Thank you so much
Geekom CEO’s just sacked their R&D team. 😅

Thanks for the video. Could you provide the case STL?
I have added the STL files to my blog under the design image - www.the-diy-life.com/the-new-geekom-it13-mini-pc-is-awesome-with-an-external-gpu/
Can you please share the Oculink 3D-Printed adapter file that makes it fit in the M2 to PCIe Adapter area?
Nice. How does Geekom iT13 + GPD G1 over USB4 perform? any tips?
I haven't tried the GPD G1, but at over $700 for a mobile version of the RX7600 it seems quite expensive. You can buy a USB 4 PCIe adaptor for about $110 and an RX7600 for around $250 so you'd be in for half the price of the G1 is you built it yourself.
Could you test this oculink egpu on an acer swift go, they have 2 sss slots
can you get better oerformance from the GPU if its conected directly to the mother board than using a cable using one of the USB C 40gbyts port? as en external ?
Yes you could plug the GPU into a USB 4 port and it would provide better bandwidth - you'd obviously need to use a different GPU PCIe adaptor though.
Wow this was Home Brew to the MAX
In the game hiw does the main menu eat up more fps?

Does USB4 allow PCIE tunneling? If so you can connect a something like a Mini GPU while keeping your M.2 storage, right?
Just saw someone’s comment lol nvm
Yes this is also an option

Is there any bottleneck with the gpu? Does the pcie lane bottleneck the gpu
The single lane means you can't get the full throughput to the GPU, so there is some additional GPU performance that the PC won't be able to make use of for GPU intensive tasks.
When do we get the integrated gpu 2? 🤔

Case STL pleaaaase :)

Imma wait until these things come with Core Ultra 9's
can I connect external speakers to the IT13?
i wonder if it works with the razer core x

Hi Robert, send me a message through my Etsy store and I can give you a price based on what you'd like included - www.etsy.com/au/shop/TheDIYLifeCo
You have two m.2 slots, you could have 3D printed to install oculink in the empty slot and kept the ssd. Why did you not is a mystery 🤔
There is a difference between an M.2 SATA port and an M.2 NVMe port. The empty slot is a SATA port, neither the NMVe drive or the GPU will work in it.
max gpu supported for a egpu? link?
It's already not using this GPU to its full potential because its only a single PCIe lane.
Can you hot-plug the GPU?
No, it's not hot-pluggable. If you want a solution that is hot-pluggable then it would be better to go with a USB4 eGPU
@@MichaelKlementsis that compatible with the geekom?
Yes you can use a USB4 eGPU on the Geekom as well
@@MichaelKlements great. I’ve just ordered one, not really for gaming more for an always on machine to connect into when I need Windows for work stuff but it’s nice to have the option.
Is it also possible to connect the GPU through Thunderbolt?
Yes that is an option too
