I just love how an sff build is as beautiful as it is practical, I love that complex and at the same time minimalistic design of itx cases, while being able to fit such powerful hardware
I always wondered how easy it would be to replicate using 1cm 80/20 aluminum with a wooden front panel and mesh side-panels. Looks like a "match made in heaven," as you can make it as small as possible, for only like $30-$40. 🙂
Like the 4080 and 4090 founders which are also the smallest ones are also bigger than that case... so the build would required a much larger one... like most 4090s are almost as big as a 360mm aio, so building small with air with them makes no sense unless you go liquid cooling which reduces the size of the GPUs by a lot but now you have to fit radiators for them, also the CPU yo need to not bottle neck them requires beefier coolers too so again going to small is not that good as the tiny fans will need to be ramped up to keep the temps somewhat tamed...
@@z4k1_zaki65 that build is massive compare to this two, even if it is the smallest. I wish they release a 4080 that uses the cooler of the 4070 founders edition, like that gpu and the 4070ti doesn't need such a massive cooler and everyone is over building their coolers... like where are the 4080 with only two fans... like just some voltage tweeks and it should be fine...
Also something important to note is that you could always undervolt both the CPU and GPU without sacrificing any meaningful performance. The temps could run even cooler in a case this small which is awesome.
This is an awesome build. I'm actually going to be building my first Mini ITX PC soon. I am going to be using the FormD T1 and I'm going to be getting the same motherboard and RAM you are using in this video. This really helps me get an idea of what I'll be working with. I'm amazing at how such a little box can have so much performance.
Velkase has been my go to for SFF portable builds for a while. They're super dense and I love the practical improvements here. Including the SFX-L again is an excellent addition along with the ability to use Cables straight from the GPU. I did find that in some cases the older display adapters caused some momentary loss of signal on high refresh rate displays meaning I had to source higher end adapters but this has now been solved! Amazing work.
The ps5 and Xbox series X are around 7 liters so this is pretty amazing. Kind of curious as to what you could fit in a 7 liter pc though, maybe with that single slot water cooled rtx 4090.
Ok, so I’m not a particularly “rig-savvy” fella, but this made it seem so accessible. I had considered a gaming PC out of my reach due to the constraints of my small apartment and travel requirements. I’ve already purchased a Vella Case and a 4070 founders edition. Thank you for providing the accessibility and instructions to build a SFF rig.
Just remember to keep your rig clean air flow is very important here do not use air dust routinly clean it every year and new thermal paster every 2-4 years or as temps rise it may be worth replacing
This case with the PSU and Riser from Velkase is over $400!!! It doesn't look nearly good enough with at basic steel coating to charge those kinds of numbers.
Thanks for this,. I am thinking of building one myself but worried that the noise will be a problem. I don't see that important part shown in this video, how loud was this little heat generator?
I have a relatively small room of 2.5m x 2.5m, so having an ITX pc is a lifesaver for my space and breathability in my room. My existing PC is in Lian Li Q-58 paired with both 1080ti and 10400F, might wanna use your video as a reference for my next upgrade! Cheers!
I have a question, have you noticed a lot of turbulence when using the noctua l9a? I recently tried using the z39 metalfish cooler and that eliminated it
As someone who has been dragging around a mid tower V2 Black thermal tech case tower. Next time I have to do a motherboard upgrade I’m doing a mini build. It’s worth the hassle. Transportation is a pain and I’m lucky to have a good suitcase the mid tower case fits perfectly in with jostle support and a tight fit with crumple
I honestly wish case builders would consider a slim top and bottom fans for people in more temperate climates. I had a case with a sandwich layout and without the top/bottom slim fans runs crazy hot at 30 deg c ambient.
I have a similar build. Velka 5 v2.1, Asus ROG Strix B660-I, 12400F, Noctua NH-L9, 4070 FE, Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 5600, 2TB NVMe on the front, 4TB NVMe on the back. I also have not had any temp issues with the flowthrough design of the FE cooler, the only thing I don't like about the FE is the stupid 12VHPWR connector, the adapter was a pain to squeeze into the case.
Currently have a 4070 build with identical components and this video is tempting me to ditch my current Micro-ATX AP201 case and mobo for this lmao. I'd honestly consider if I didn't already have a backup laptop for travel purposes, but you've definitely gained my sub as I want to eventually build a mini computer like this one day and the video is brilliantly made.
Clean. The power supplies are hard to get a hold of. I just finished a Densium build with a 4070. Definitely get the noctua fan for the flex also. Wish these had the high bandwidth adaptors for the GPU. IMO fixes the cord attachment issues with GPUs these days
I was just looking for a video about the Velka 5 from you right now and ended up on other chanels, this is the moment I was closing everything xD So now let's look at this incredible case
I’m going to try and build this soon. I’m a bit nervous as this seems to be tough for someone who has only completed one other build before. Wish me luck!
Love your work Devyn, and I got the B650E-I motherboard too. I would like to know what is the part number of the corsair ram kit you installed? The reason I ask is I'm also after a low profile kit and am looking at the 64gb Corsair vengeance kit. Here's the part number CMK64GX5M2B6000C30. It's the CL30 6000mhz kit but I'm told it may not be compatible with this board so if you can help out in any way that'll be awesome! Installing a 7950x3d for gaming/editing so looking at a ram kit with decent speed and low latency and apparently CL30 6000mhz is the sweet spot for this set-up without any issues. Thanks, and looking forward to your reply! ✌️
Could you just use the driver setup to redirect the video signal path so it allows you to use your mainboard dp to access the gpu? I even believe windows does this by default when the load gets high enough
You can actually forgo the daughterboard crap on the gigabyte b650 and plug the front panel IO right in to the motherboard, but you lose SATA. It didn’t matter to me though because of the three m.2 slots. I’ll be making a video on my build eventually and I’ll show how to skip the daughterboard. My build is a Fractal Terra, Ryzen 9 7950x3d and a 4070ti.
Someone did cram a 4070 in to the Velka 3 by creating a CNC adapter to use a short ITX GPU cooler from palit (i think), that was widely used on the last gen A4000.
i just ordered myself a b650e and 7600x for my mini its build in the lazmod a24-v5 case, just missing the grapichs card and ram which i am ordering next month
I have the Densium 4+ (V1) and I COULD get a 4070 in there, the Zotac 4070 just needs a few mm snipped off or I have to drill out the wooden front a bit. :D My mainsystem is 20 liters (NR200P), but has a 280 AIO and a 4090 in it... I wanted the Dan C4 case, but it was sold out.
Hi really love what u did. But i do have a question. If i like to keep this case but change mainboard asus for intel instead. Which asus mainboard u recommend to fit with this case and have thunderbolt port? Graphic card still nvidia 4070.
Thanks for this video! This convinced me to finally sell my gaming laptop, which is basically used as a desktop anyway, and build an ITX desktop. My build currently is pretty similar to this video: Case - T1 v2.5 CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D GPU - Zotac Nvidia RTX 4070 twin edge (which im still waiting for 😭) Motherboard - Asus B650E-I PSU - SF750 CPU AIO - Coolermaster 240L
look at the minisforum bd770i for these builds also. just benched it vs my 7700x and it was very very slightly slower but perfect for this kind of build and cheaper.
Nice setup and video! The case is it compatible with a power supply from HDPLEX 250W GaN Passive AIO ATX Power Supply ? For a setup without graphic card. Thank you
Very nice Devyn! Question … I need something like this, size and speed wise for Microsoft Flight Sim 2024. I want to have one installed in my motor coach when I’m on the road. Limited space constraint issues ya know! Any recommendations? I would love to have you do a build for me if you’re willing. Please let me know your recommendations. TY! 😎
Anyone have any tips for cpu cooling options possibly in settings or bios? First time pc building and I used pretty much this exact build but with a 4070 super. The cpu sometimes goes up to the 80s and in extreme cases 90s. I have undervolted in the bios and adjusted the fan speeds; however I still find the cpu cooling to not be as efficient. If anyone has some suggestions let me know. Thanks in advance for any tips!
What extension cables did you end up using for the build? I can't seem to find any quality ones, and would prefer to have easy access to the display ports and hdmi ports.
Hey Devyn, you inspired me to copy this exact build! I just had a quick question in your professional opinion. Could I use the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X instead of the standard 7600? They are around the same price currently, but if I will be risking power consumption issues I would not want to risk it. Thank you for the amazing content as always!
Hey! I can suggest 1 more small build - Intel NUC 11 Extreme Kit, its really small and can fit some 4070 models, for example MSI ventus, i have tested and even 3 fan model fits in there. Also You can find those pretty cheap, got mine for 500 euros brand new.
It would be really helpful if you'd tell us, the total cost of this build. With Windows Key etc included.
You can also add it in the video description

Prob formd t1 sounds the best bet for either 4080 FE or 4090FE
I probably have the smallest and classiest 4090 build 😅
You just don’t miss when it comes to these SFF builds. Respect.
The more compact power and cooler, easier to upgrade im searching 5 litres
Also something important to note is that you could always undervolt both the CPU and GPU without sacrificing any meaningful performance. The temps could run even cooler in a case this small which is awesome.

$179 case goddam
$1800+ with just the PC and no monitor, at which point you’re almost better off just getting a Legion Pro 7 with AMD 7945HX and RTX 4800.
If I ever build an ITX pc I will be 3d printing the case.
@@TheSuperDuperLS gpu heat could warp or even melt the plastic
@@dan8t669 Yeah, that's the issue with 3d printed cases, but with proper cooling and high temp filament, you could most likely use a 3d printed case.
With no riser cable. 😂
This case with the PSU and Riser from Velkase is over $400!!! It doesn't look nearly good enough with at basic steel coating to charge those kinds of numbers.
Considering how compact that cooler is, those are brilliant temps in such a tiny brilliantly minimalist case!
Thanks for this,. I am thinking of building one myself but worried that the noise will be a problem. I don't see that important part shown in this video, how loud was this little heat generator?

These sff builds are so satisfying....
i want to hide a gaming pc at my office desk haha
Wow, the quality of your videos is insanely increased lately. Love your new standard 👌🏼
they always look that way
Can you build a super strong mini PC like this with a screen attached?
Im looking to buy a itx pc and ive been watching your videos since yesterday. Great quality videos nice work
Amazing video!!
I can't wait to see the world's smallest 4080...just like smallest 4060 and 4070!
Amazing production value btw!
I honestly wish case builders would consider a slim top and bottom fans for people in more temperate climates. I had a case with a sandwich layout and without the top/bottom slim fans runs crazy hot at 30 deg c ambient.
An ITX build that wouldn't look out of place in a bookshelf. Well done!

just out of the curiosity : is l9a-am5 compatible with b650i aorus board? and also what was the fan RPM and noise during load/games?
Just a suggestion do add the price in the description at which the build is made.....for all you upcoming build videos
Thanks. Awesome video

Genki Shadowcast 2! It’s awesome!
@@devyn.johnston how is the latency?
@@devyn.johnston IT IS NOT world's Smallest 4070 Gaming PC You Can Build. If u use Giga RTX 4070 WINDFORCE 2X, you can reduce it by 1.5 times.

Your channel has potential, keep up the good work!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
I got a SFF ROG G21CX with i9 9900K , 32GB ram, and 4070 upgraded from 2080. Best $1300 build i've done.
I was just looking for a video about the Velka 5 from you right now and ended up on other chanels, this is the moment I was closing everything xD
So now let's look at this incredible case
such a beautiful build its inspiring and thanks for choosing nice sponsors
Dude you inspire me holy crap. Your aesthetic is the coolest aesthetic I have seen on youtube.
Another winner :) Happy Holidays Devyn.
Great video. Impressive setup and seems easy to follow along for those wanting to mimic. Nice job!
How did u get verified??
i5 13400f is cheaper and have the same perf as his integrated version just to mention that if you buy one just get the F version if you have a gpu
I love these builds and i built the lunch box one with an arch 750 but they are a pain in the ass to build 😅 definitely for veteran pc builders 👍
I’m going to try and build this soon. I’m a bit nervous as this seems to be tough for someone who has only completed one other build before. Wish me luck!
Good luck and enjoy!!

Nice build. I love the Velka series, just wish I had a use case for one because I would love to do a build.
I just love watching sff builds ❤
Would love to make this but would need some type of screen/filter for the sides. Live in a very dusty area
This is so great and next level, is really great that you talk about options for CPU and graphics, thanks for sharing!
Do you think a 4070 super will fit now since it came out?
Would be interested to see thermals with a kryosheet on there. It's done amazing things for my 7900 xtx that had symptoms of pump out.
how long did you test this specific build?
Nice man but how about you make a video with a case that’s actually available? This case is sold out until April…
Could you just use the driver setup to redirect the video signal path so it allows you to use your mainboard dp to access the gpu? I even believe windows does this by default when the load gets high enough
The Aorus board does have at least the power switch header on the board itself, by the USB 3.0 header. plenty for a system like this.

Any chance we can get a budget itx build similar to this? That would be incredible!
Does it run well. No overheat?
Do you think a 4070Ti and a slightly up spec cpu to match would still fit and work well with the rest of these components?
dont think a 70ti will fit, they all are 3 fans
Can you a fit a 4070 ti super in there
what motherboard would I use with the i5-13400 ?
I hopes one day this would be my first gaming pc 🤞
Love it! My only concern is how hot it is?
Would love to see you build in a G200 case with a 4070 and a massive CPU heatsink. The case is great and takes a regular ATX.
Ong the smartness needed for these builds id beyond my comprehension hahaha. GREAT JOB MAN!
where do you get that case?
Man as a guy that came up with ATX mid towers that some next level building.
i just ordered myself a b650e and 7600x for my mini its build in the lazmod a24-v5 case, just missing the grapichs card and ram which i am ordering next month
I wish it would support GPUs that are a tiny bit thicker...
Mine is 49mm instead of the 40 of the founders edition.
If only I could find a place that was selling that case and wasn’t out of stock ha
Love your smallest PC series.
I have the Densium 4+ (V1) and I COULD get a 4070 in there, the Zotac 4070 just needs a few mm snipped off or I have to drill out the wooden front a bit. :D
My mainsystem is 20 liters (NR200P), but has a 280 AIO and a 4090 in it... I wanted the Dan C4 case, but it was sold out.
since this is really crazy tiny build. would it work with the teenage engineering case?
Hi really love what u did. But i do have a question. If i like to keep this case but change mainboard asus for intel instead.
Which asus mainboard u recommend to fit with this case and have thunderbolt port? Graphic card still nvidia 4070.
cleanest build I've ever seen
Nice, i love these compact builds, sometimes u just have to, Noctua... Spit on that thang.
have you looked at the new Asrock B650i Motherboard? Also any recommendations for a good HDMI extension that can be mounted & secured to the case?
Thanks so much Bro!
How many Thunderbolt 3 or USB 4.0 ports does it supply?
Thanks for this video! This convinced me to finally sell my gaming laptop, which is basically used as a desktop anyway, and build an ITX desktop.
My build currently is pretty similar to this video:
Case - T1 v2.5
CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D
GPU - Zotac Nvidia RTX 4070 twin edge (which im still waiting for 😭)
Motherboard - Asus B650E-I
PSU - SF750
CPU AIO - Coolermaster 240L
look at the minisforum bd770i for these builds also. just benched it vs my 7700x and it was very very slightly slower but perfect for this kind of build and cheaper.
Bro if I only could afford a build like this, I'm crazy for these small beasts
Hey, brother. What do you recommend for a workstation for engineering tasks (aersopace) and light gaming but I would also like power efficiency?
Nice setup and video! The case is it compatible with a power supply from HDPLEX 250W GaN Passive AIO ATX Power Supply
? For a setup without graphic card.
Thank you
Is included Prism Fan with CPU bad? That you use Noctua? How big is temp difference?
do you think its worth to lap or delid for a mini itx build?
Why are the smallest cases so expensive though? They easily go for more than my TT core p6 and it’s like 60lbs.
Very nice Devyn! Question … I need something like this, size and speed wise for Microsoft Flight Sim 2024. I want to have one installed in my motor coach when I’m on the road.

alternative cases soon? rlly tough to get these outside USA especially cuz of import fees
Tbh you should try thermright's cooler options they are better than noctua's offerings at the same sizes. May get you a little more overhead.
