I have the 9900X in the Era 2 and the CPU keeps doing that boost thing where it shoots up to 90 degrees randomly when I'm doing random things. PBO or whatever. Did you turn that off? I didn't really find a good solution other than setting a max temperature of 75 degrees in my bios and now it never goes above that but I imagine there's a better way to optimize that.
Anyone have some tips for a similar build (AMD, mini ITX, discrete GPU) but of very low power consumption? Especially when idling? I'd like to replace a mini PC with an ITX build, and those mini PCs use laptop CPUs allowing system idle 10-20W whereas my current gaming ITX rig has an idle of 65W...
I don't recommend the Intel Core Ultra chips in general, but if you are specifically looking for very low idle power then those in fact are quite good in that regard.
@@MachinesMore Yeah, I had hopes for Lunar Lake but...it's Intel 😅Just lost faith in them. And their power consumption when actually doing something is still out of control. It's weird I can't get an AMD 7800X3D system sufficiently low at idle. I undervolted the CPU and GPU, limited power etc. It uses 175W for gaming (RTX 4080S) at 90fps fixed. Great power efficiency! But at idle it refuses to go under 60-65W. The RTX idles at around 13W, so the CPU is the biggest power hog. I guess the new Zen5 is still the same?
I just built into this case (silver) with a 7700x and a 7900gre. I'm using an Asrock B650i lightning board and cooling the cpu with a budget ID-cooling FrostFlow X240. In the bios I have the 85c -20 profile selected and in HWmonitor I'm idling at between 27 and 32 watts 42c using the default airflow config of bottom intake top exhaust. Maintains a consistant 130 watts 82c 5.1 GHz throughout a 10 minute Cinebench R23 run. All the fans and the pump are set to silent mode in the bios. Ordered another (blue) to move my main rig into. Use the silver as my living room PC.
@@Toldyaso1216 Thanks! I'm on an Asus B650E ITX, with 2 nvme drives (Samsung Evo 970 Evo 2TB, Samsung 980 4TB). I doubt this will make the difference. How many drives do you have? Anyone know if the 3D vcache is causing a much higher idle power use?
@@bakakafka4428 I am using 2 drives a 1 Tb and 4 Tb. The 7800x3d is a 120watt tdp cpu. the 7700x is a 105 watt tdp cpu so It might be a little higher at idle however it has 300 mhz lower base clock than the 7700x so at idle it should be powering down more. Might want to look to the Motherboard. Make sure it is on the most current bios. Am5 motherboards at first release would power the cpu so that it would always run up to 90c+ because that was the generalized peak performance curve. Newer boards and bios versions don't necessarily do this by default anymore and will cap the temps much lower unless you open it up in the bios. the b650i lightning by default will cap that 7700x at around 65c unless i change some settings and let it off the leash. That is what I was referring to when I posted that I use the 85c cap with the -20 offset preset profile in the bios.
No hate or aggro, but this focal length is unflattering and makes the video feel like a news report as oppsed to a more personal feeling the older videos had.
Glad someone else reviewed this case. Honestly I probably won't go back to it but its nice.
What have you moved to and why, if I may ask?
"And two tweezers become one" I see what you did there 😁
about to build in this case. nice vid showing the process!
Just finished a full custom loop in the Era 2. Runs great, 7800x3d, 7900xtx, 240mm rad, modultra lobo.
M&m posted sff lets go
It's a phat X360!
This may be a great case for some. I like a bit larger.

dunno, it looks cool ofc, but barely fits more compared to t1 or a4 H2O. don't really get what they were thinking when designing this
It’s pretty obvious, the wanted to design something that looked nice on a desk and wasn’t a boring black rectangle like the ones you mentioned.
@@ramonrodrigueziv1742 well there's other options like torzone nanoq and others
BTW, does the PSU outflow of air collide directly with the intake at the bottom? Issues with that or does it run OK like this?
Not a huge huge issue, however switching the fans to exhaust out the bottom would have an additional benefit of streamlining the PSU exhaust.

Personally I don't like how the case looks. The Terra looks much cleaner. If they would just make the Terra like 2-4L bigger...
Bist Du mit dem X870i Mainboard zufrieden ? Läuft es ohne Probleme ?

thanks for the feedback, been trying some different things out so I appreciate the opinion!
@@MachinesMore Love your videos, keep up the good work! 👍 Thank you!
FIRST
what an ugly case
I like it. Simple, no frills, wood on top. Just not the color.
22:53 Someone looking at this and calling it ugly is taste issue.
@@SvalbardSleeperDistricti dont like it either , the wavy side panel throws me off
