This is an absolutely fantastic video. From the build concept, to the scripting, the camera work, the editing ... you guys really outdid yourselves with this one. I hope that Velkase has given you some affiliate income too because I think you may be able to help them sell some more cases. Great job.
I love how the GPU and CPU cooler's sit flush against cover and have constant cool fresh air at all time. That was awesome how everything looked like it was made for each other, very nice👍
I have the Velka 5 case (ITX case - revised version with SFX support prior to the switching to Flex ATX psu support model) and this case gives excellent thermals for mid-high end gpus and yes they’re a case that requires a bit of patience and planning prior to construction of your desired spec’d pc. It’s a very well built and a aesthetically pleasing minimalist design.
I have the similar yet much cheaper SGPC K39! While it's really dope to have a tiny, smol gaming PC on my desk, the Flex PSU I got is just so noisy... Additionally, the other annoying thing is the lack of ITX GPU options. Still really cool seeing you do a Velka 3 build! Keep it up, my dude.
I remember getting out of sheer luck the RTX 2060 Super version of that GPU for my Velka 3 (that I sold, but still haven't given it to the buyer), I still have it and had no idea how much the price on it had inflated shortly when things were getting worse and worse.
Same here in Belgium, the only ones i've found in 1 year are the ones sold from japan on ebay for over 1k USD. I've settled with a GTX 1070 for now. :)
I’ve had this and the v1 for a while. The v2 is a much better option. Velka sells a modified Enhance 600W with short PSU cables and a quiet cooling fan on their site. Mine has a 5600X on an Asus B550 board with a Noctua L9a. For the GPU, started with a 170mm PNY 2060 bought in early 2020, upgraded to a PNY 3060 in 2021, and I am about to install that MSI 3060 Ti Aero ($700 USD from Amazon Japan) along with the new 4.0 riser cable and a Thermalright 36mm cooler to see if it is any quieter than the Noctua. Edit: And the Thermalright 36mm doesn't work. The screws protrude too far past the rear of the motherboard and interfere with the GPU. The MSI Aero barely fits because of its plastic "backplate". I had to use the 2mm holes for the side panels to avoid the side panel touching the fan.
Hi. First time sff builder. I know 7950x is kinda not the cpu to out on this case. But would it still possibly work? Like maybe undervolt it? Given how limited I am with the cooler I can put in. Also would an rtx A2000 fit here with the flex psu? Thank you
you think something like the rtx a2000 would fit inside the v2 version? (assuming i also get a 5600x + itx b550 (asus) + nocta l9a + included pci 4.0 riser and 600w psu)
@@Wyse-Gaming yea it would certainly work but at that point you woul just be doign yourself a favor by saving some money and gettings a less power hungry cpu (this would help with overall system spec balance so less bottlenecking)
Crazy and fantastic build. loved it. Pls do more videos like this, if possible (Coz of parts issues). BTW, @14:35 that mustard cable can be fixed with black electric tape. Keep it up! Cheers!
@@GearSeekers Fair enough. I let my OCD always get better of me. haha!! Amazing built, never knew that ill be seeing these videos 3-4 times. Its an art. 👍
It's a beautiful case and with some undervolting it should have decent temperatures on a more silent fan curve. Tho, everything is so tight, I would get something like this.
I love seeing small builds like these. As much as I'd like to build my next one in a small case, I know I can't choose the higher power parts due to thermal limits.
Honey I shrunk Nick! Excellent thumbnail. A build a long time in the making, still out before dune case. Awesome build for a such smol case, it's a baby.
You don't have enough subscribers!! i absolutely love all of your videos and honestly have helped me decide on my own build from the parts you use. Thank you :)
I thought my nr200 was small haha. If there was more itx gpu options id go to something like this. The build looked pretty smooth too, and at least with this one there's less parts to to remove when you need to. Also off topic, i bought the b560 Aorus board and nearly fainted when i removed the cover off the m.2 and felt how heavy it was haha
Nr200 is HUGE in terms of real sff world. The biggest case legitimately called “sff” is Formd t1, which is 9.7 litres in the volume. It fits 240 aio and most 3080s (formd t1 v2 is releasing next week)
This makes the old Silverstone SUGO I built in a decade ago look big. I used to like mini ITX but I got to tired of being constrained by what could fit that I am all about ATX these days. For when a very small PC is needed I use an Intel NUC with Linux that is so tiny it fits anywhere. Using it with my TV.
I have the PNY RTX3060 (ITX GPU) and got it for a vg price at launch 🚀 🥰 And these itx gpus are very excellent little performer’s with minimal higher temps over regular 2/3 fan models as they’re very energy efficient 👍😇.
I got this case! Built it back in september 2021. A really neat and cute SFF itx case. The only problem I have had was the build quality. The product is sturdy, but building in it has been a problem - especially when I want to open up the case and swap something out or clean it. I swapped the fan in the PSU and had to take all the panels off etc. It's a cool case, good temps, but I had bad building experience with it in a long run
i hope they make a review/overview of the GEEEK A31 V2. a much cheaper alternative if you dont mind building the case and the scratch prone acrylic panels
Been looking for something to build myself that is ultraportable, was thinking of the Phantecs shift xt because of the AIO. Already decided on the gigabyte motherboard from your last review. Nice one Nick!
Hi. Great video btw. First time sff builder. I know 7950x is kinda not the cpu to out on this case. But would it still possibly work? Like maybe undervolt it? Given how limited I am with the cooler I can put in. Also would an rtx A2000 fit here with the flex psu? Thank you
RTX A2000 would be better. Smaller, Gaming like 3060 ti with a lot lower PSU consumtion, No cables required either. You'd be able to fit a Fan Hub in the Velka with some 40mm fan inside.
It might have been a different brand. There are still budget options available from other brands but as far as I know Velkase has always been a premium option. In a video you can't really tell the difference, but up close you definitely can tell the quality of the metal and components they use in comparison to some of the more affordable options.
@@ghost_of_m403 i would have to look it up but the 1st time i heard of them i think they had mention the price of the case and pretty sure it was under $100. Would have to look it up to be sure. Will try and update if i find it.
@@ghost_of_m403 ok so it was when they were launching the case and it was pre order with out the riser cable. Wish they still had a bare case option and psu combo since they do want alot for their gen 4 riser.
Bahaha! I do listen to older Drake! Not so keen on the newer stuff. I basically listen to the same stuff as Nick with the addition of some metal and R&B
For flex psu a good recomendation is to swap out the fan for a noctua fan and run it to the motherboard and control it from there. Its way quieter and still cools the psu fine. I have it like that in my fsp flex 500w.
We need someone to release a 2 slot thick, ITX Motherboard sized GPU cooler that uses all the volume above and beneath the GPU that's often left empty in ITX cases. That would be almost as much volume or cooling capacity as the FE 3080.
Estas usando al revés el gabinete, porque la psu tiene qué quedar en la parte de abajo para que la parte mallada este arriba y sea dónde salga el aire caliente
I wanna ask something weird. Idk if there's a use case for it but anyway.. since the MSI and Asus itx motherboards have thunderbolt ports in the io, is it possible to plug an egpu on it even though i would already have a plugged in gpu? It would be like a laptop with an egpu right?
I'm waiting for AMD to hopefully release a single fan RX 7000 series card before building in one these bad boys. Btw, What's the song at 16:27? Thanks!
No it’s the Zzaw c3 I mentioned it a few weeks ago and you said it was around $500-600 aud. So I thought I could just buy it myself and send to you guys to review. But if I send it in to you guys could you see if the following things work a 360 Aio on the side, a matx motherboard, a 3080 or 3090, and a full atx power supply fit in the case. I think many people would like to see this case reviewed as there is almost no videos about it and its only slightly larger than the nr200p and fits standard components.

after a good while i came to the conclusion this will be the case i order. Considered "cheaper" options but for the quality drop you are not really getting much of a deal.
Warning for those thinking of doing this but with the Asus Phoenix instead... DON'T. They look equivalent in photos but the Asus is a 2.5 slot card. Learned this the hard way :(
This is why we should be against higher and higher power consumption on GPU's, even on the high end. Because it limits the choices or even possibility of these ITX cards. Oh how I dream of having a 3090-ish performance on a card (with around 80-120w tdp) that is this size. Maybe in 5yrs
What a sick little build, great work as always
Thanks so much
The Velka 3 has been in my radar for like a year, such a beautifully compact case! Love it

This is only good if the PSU and GPU have silent fans. That means the fans are only active in heavy load over 60°C...
