Lenovo has a specific top cover if you order the device with GPU, the that top cover have ventilation hole to the fan of the GPU, you can buy that as the parts number is 02CW661 / 02CW662.
Second that! I have a Lenovo ThinkStation P340 tiny with a GPU added the same way, it works perfectly as my vmware esxi host and I can still pass the GPU through to my Linux host
@@technodrone313 as a linux user i agree. But this is only because people dont trust linux. If people started believing in desktop linux being a thing, anticheats would work much better, many bugs would get fixed because more people would develop for it. and most importantly more software would be ported like it is for mac As of right now, desktop linux is a mess if you have old hardware + nvidia + using kde plasma which is used on steamdeck.
Dude, I literally was going to ask you to start testing Warframe in your videos for iGPU’s and cards and here it is. Please keep this game in your rotation. Need to build a small PC for Warframe.
i Personaly use these as a router .... a 256 gig Mvme with 16 gig of ram and a dual 10 gig Network card .... Nothing beats it and I mean Nothing its a absolute beast running Openwrt.
What's the benefit of running your own router? I have a mesh network set up for mine, and I host a VPN so I can get access to my jellyfin anywhere without it being directly exposed to the internet. Would I be able to do this same or more with running my own hardware? Mesh network isn't a deal breaker, honestly
It's easier to purchase an M920Q with the ventilated top cover. Why waste money drilling into your top case (and making it look worse) when Lenovo already has a high quality solution?
Would you not be able to go into the properties of a game within the SteamOS menu and force a resolution? Also, it's shows how lucky we are in 2024 to discuss the concept of Cyberpunk "'only" getting an average of 56fps! 😂
I kind of want to print a double height cover to see what cheap double slot cards could be used. Maybe a few 2.5 bays over the cpu. Still be small but the gained robustness could be nice. Edit I didn't realize the 6400 was the best readily available amd card that's PCI powered. Maybe extra space for a sff power supply but now we're getting complicated haha
I used to love big PC cases, but now I just want pocket sized PCs. The smaller and more functional, the better! The only condition is that they need to be ready for an eGPU.
I really hope that AMD makes a good successor to the RX6400. At least PCIe 4.0 x8, 8GB VRAM, and performance that at least can do 1080p high with little complaint. Low profile, single slot, no extra power would be great too. A man can dream...
Valve needs to make sure Steam Deck 2 has a strong multi-core CPU and supports EGPU (either by USB4.0 or better), and has 2 USB slots, with one at the bottom for quick docking. Then they could release a dock that contains an eGPU, an "EGPU Dock", so that the Deck 2 excels at: 1. being a handheld, 2. being a powerful docked TV console and 3. letting the Steam Deck run Steam VR games. They would need to partner with AMD to subsidise the cost of the GPU and bulk order the GPUs and optimise them only for gaming to lower costs, but it's definitely feasible for a company like Valve. It has the potential to sell much better than a standalone console, because there's already an existing market that would potentially buy it, that being the Steam Deck 2 audience, but they could also let it be compatible with other handheld PC's as well, further driving sales of it. Assuming Valve prices the mid storage option of the Deck 2 similarly, it will be around $550 for the Deck 2 and somewhere in the range of $450 or lower for the EGPU Dock, which would have around RX 7800XT level performance.
@@notjustforhackers4252 He just gave us a reason, the a2000 is more powerful, and it also ships with excellent nvenc video encoding capabilities, and I'm using it with the open kernel modules on one of my small form factor Linux gaming rigs. What I need from AMD is more powerful cards (on the level of the a2000/4000) while still being single-slot and low profile and low powered (75W powered via the mb). And it has to be affordable too.
@@asunavk69 True, both Bazzite and ChimeraOS don't work well with Nvidia right now, but that might change now that Nvidia is putting in the effort with gamescope, open kernel module drivers etc. For now you can use Batocera Linux V40, which ships with Steam support and it works in big picture on Nvidia too (the Batocera rig in our living room is used for stuff like Kodi, Steam, Retro etc. and we're using the Nvidia A2000 with a custom single slot low profile cooler in an Optiplex 3040 SFF rig and it runs Steam's big picture fine albeit a bit sluggish at times). Batocera will be shipping the new open kernel modules for Nvidia starting with V41.
Can you make a video about a Single Slot NVIDIA RTX A4000 from Amazon? Well this Low Profile Graphics Card works with Minisforum MS-01 without an external power supply?
What's up with the frame times? Fps is good and all but frame times is going to feel noticeable on more latency-sensitive games (e.g., missed clicks and delayed actions)
Can you do a video talking about the new snapdragon elite chips. Apparently there are more powerful than the Rog ally and that they can play triple a games

Good to know!
Always blows my mind the mount of videos this guy puts out everyday. Good job!
I love those gaming Linux builds.
There is so much good hardware out there just needing more love.
linux is janky though. good luck trying to do anything not on steam.

@@technodrone313True, it can be a challenge although I've also been able to add some non-Steam windows games and then run them via Proton.
I can't find these PCs for less than 300$. It's going to take a lot of love to justify getting one of these and mod it
A matrix of smaller and equally spaced holes might also work. You might be able to attach a mesh below them on the case interior.
Smaller desktops are the future

SteamOS plays better than Windows.....
There are magnetic fan cover 4x4.
The Lenovo Tiny PCs (and Dell + HP versions) are so awesome
Perfect as a home server, NAS, router, evidently even gaming machine.
Always the double videos on windows + steamos for the same device
Nice! A Linux box. I love these little thin clients with PCIE slots.
i have the same setup!
i think that keeping the same case without having to create one with a 3D printer, maintains the essence
Cool little set up but here in Ireland to build this even with buying parts from ebay costs 350 euro at least

Brother you keep coming with these bangers! I'm gonna be broke as hell this holiday!! You're a legend
Thanks. Love these videos. I'm going to start building one soon. I'll probably go Batocera with Steam inside it.
Eggs-cellent setup
The p330/m920x have a perforated top cover no need to drill
Yup ! Correct
I have this with original GPU cover and with i7-9700T and it is absolutely great with RX6400
thanks for doing my request man, been waiting for you to do this. you're awesome.
Warframe hell yeah! Always great to see Warframe in these tests. I didn't even know it ran on Steam OS!
Really simple, but you have to buy step bit and be very very careful. Open case

Bazzite does seem intriguing for a mini PC. Does the OS support sleep/resume as well? Possible to wake from a controller?
pls include DotA2 on your benchmark tests. theres really not enough benchmark about it. and i really want to see how well it plays on max settings.
Like the wrist band youre using❤
I used to love big PC cases, but now I just want pocket sized PCs. The smaller and more functional, the better! The only condition is that they need to be ready for an eGPU.
WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW HELLDIVERS 2 RUNS ON THIS BUILD!
The RX 6400 is very underpowered. You can expect 40-60 fps at 1080p low settings.
Valve taking notes
Witcher 3 in DX11 (or just run older 1.3.2 build) runs much better on lower-end, especially with DXVK vs VKD3D on Linux.
Come on, Strix Halo.
I really hope that AMD makes a good successor to the RX6400. At least PCIe 4.0 x8, 8GB VRAM, and performance that at least can do 1080p high with little complaint. Low profile, single slot, no extra power would be great too.

This is a pretty good setup, how does Batocera do on it?
I've been looking into getting this exact SFF PC, but as a NAS instead of a gaming PC.
4:35 spending that time just to watch the benchmark scene again and again and again and again is dedication
I would get rid of that ThinkPad logo and replace it with a Legion logo.
I would really do 32gb if you can afford it. 16 gigs feels like the minimum.
you should try out the rtx a1000, should be heaps faster than the rx 6400 with similar performance to that of an rtx 3050!
There are ZERO reasons to run NVIDIA on Linux if all you're doing is gaming.
@@notjustforhackers4252 Bazzite SteamUI will not play well with it, you could still game ok, but not with a setup like this.

Very nice alright 😁
Wouldn’t the rx 6400 be bottlenecked by the 8700t? But not by a bit i mean, a lot
Can you do a video talking about the new snapdragon elite chips. Apparently there are more powerful than the Rog ally and that they can play triple a games
Odd that there are no videos of emulation tests on the Samsung Tab S10 on RUclips yet.
Hey, would like to see this running Batocera, I'm sure it would be powerful enough for the likes of emulation 😁
I'm going to try this OS on the older Lenovo M75Q Tiny Ryzen 5 Pro 3400GE wonder how it will perform
I have done this with a M720q and though it does work, performance is kinda hit or miss.
Man I love your channel, everyday theres a new interesting video to watch, keep it up you are doing great.
bazzite has a new update with fedora 41 and mesa3d 24.2.3, performance should be way better
Low resolution and fps is nothing new for us steam deck owners. Its more than fine.
Any chance this would support VR games like Alyx?
Is this System faster as a Minisforum UM760 /780
aiyo ETA! can i have this one?
I would like a build like this, but I would prefer to use it with an Nvidia graphics card to have ray tracing.
Street Fighter 6 has no tessellation on the sand on the beach level making it not look good...
What's the most power GPU that fits? This is the form factor I'd like but I'd be downgrading from a 2060
A2000 with a single slot gpu mod. There's a video on youtube with someone else doing it and testing it out
4x PCIE 4.0 on that card, and i7 8700T has only PCIE3. I dunno dude.
Dumb question, but would this work for the m900 as well??
What about a lowprofile 4060 could that work in this
why use a half baked os that doesnt run most software that isnt a game? plus game pass is pretty damn good.
Hello. I installed bazsite, but I don't understand how to launch Decky Loader. I use an Xbox controller. and I don't understand how to run it. please help
*WEAK AF*
the rx 6400 is 7% weaker than the 780m.
Why you don't use RDR2 in gaming test
too bad Bazzite doesn't support nVidia GPUs...
Not worth it
Just put the 6700 back in the case
