Amir, yes idiots like Linus, Jay 2 Cents and occasionally Gamer Nexus they all make the most weird idiotic stupid faces for their thumbnails, they have no idea how important a thumbnail is, that is why Optimum Tech is the best tech channel, no stupid thumnails or behaviour like a lsd imbecile like Linus jumping like he has didlo in his a s s, while talking. Optimum Tech is the best channel best thumbnails, the editing, the b-roll, the lighting, the music, his calm voice and cinematic shots are just a masterpiece videos are straigth to the point 10-12 min., no stupid advertisement just simple, clean well thought video presented in the best professional way. No other channel can match him ! That is why, I only watch him. When i see Linus with his imbecile thumbnails and behaviour, I just want to vomit on him.
@@antoniok4735 take a chill pill mate. It's unfortunate that Linus has to do it because those are the sorts of thumbnails the younger generation tends to open because big vloggers have been doing it for a long time.
I agree with Optimum's thumbnails being god tier, but to each is own. Live and let live. Diversity is a biological principle and essential to life, without it, we die. Some people really enjoy comedy and enternainment, funny faces are often a big part of that. And maybe they're not even funny faces, just faces to tell stories.
Nobody has the skill and passion you do when it comes to SFFPC’s. A lot of people are also jumping on the SFF train so I really hope your channel kicks up because you deserve it.
This channel is the reason I went full into SFF builds . My desk is now much more streamlined and efficient ... The build process is a more rewarding & learning experience. I even managed to put the proverbial "jinni in the bottle" building a 3900x / RX5700 system inside a Streacom DA2 ... Thanks for the lessons ....
2:35 The music is exceptional. Really takes me back to the days when I was still a student mugging away listening to Daft Punk and the Drive soundtrack
Hey, Ali. Nice build. After much work and patience I finally finished all my upgrades to my nCase M1 build. I used: EK DuraClear 3/8"x5/8" tubing, EK Classic SE Radiator w/ EK Vardar F4 fans on the side, XSPC TX240 Ultra Thin Radiator with slim Noctua NF-A12x15 fans on the bottom, FrozenQ M1 Reservoir, Swiftech Apogee Drive II, EK-FC RTX GPU Block w/ EK-FC 90° Rotary Terminal, all Barrow fittings. Priming the pump was troublesome, but eventually I got enough of the air out of the loop to get it going properly. I had to extend the mounting slots on the bottom of my v5 nCase M1 by cutting into it with a rotary tool and I had to cut the radiator screws down shorter to get the slim Noctua fans onto the radiator so some modding was necessary. All in all it was time, effort and money consuming, but it's really cool to have all that hardware/watercooling in a case under 20 liters! I have a similar setup in an ATX build (pump, reservoir, two radiators, gpu block, cpu block) in my office PC and it's crazy that I could get something like that in such a small box. My office PC uses an i9-9900K + 2080 Ti while my portable nCase M1 build is using a i7-9700K + RTX 2080 Ti. I have a big bag (Wallye Tactik Duffle v2) that fits everything I need to take the nCase M1 traveling, including a 1440p 120Hz portable monitor, Logitech G305 and a Drevo Blademaster Pro Mechanical Keyboard. Thank you for sparking my interest in mini-ITX hardware which lead to this neat little PC.
Actually the perfect video at the perfect time! I've been strongly considering going SFF for a while and was eyeing the T1, so this is great to see - thanks a lot for the detailed thermals! Might be tempted to wait and see how the new P1 concept turns out though.
I think the only problem I have with the build is hard drive space. I use a mini-itx board Asus Strix X570-i with a: 1) 500GB (for the OS) m.2 PCIe 4.0 drive mounted on the underside 2) 1TB M.2 on the top side m.2 drive for FPS/online games like BFV or PUBG where I want zero hardware lag, 3) 750GB 2.5" HDD (7200 rpm) for games like Borderlands or Crysis-style games where speed helps, but helps with loading games, 4) 1TB 2.5" HDD (5400 rpm) for single player or open world games that I don't need speed. I own many games and fitting them all into one drive isn't an option unfortunately. So I divide them given their needs.
here's an easy way to join: buy an itx mobo (amd b450i from msi, intel z390 from asrock) and buy an itx case (sg13 is good) then swap your psu in there, put your cooler etc all in there you might want to set your psu as exhaust to keep air moving
just got a gigabyte x570 - i aorus pro wifi for 195 after tax and shipping on ebay, so hyped! i already have rog strix x570 i but i was planning to do bifurcation. Bifurcation is where since obviously all itx boards only have 1 pcie slot, yo ucan't sli/nvlink, but bifurcation is where there are 2 pcie lanes, but reduced (8x8 I think), and you just connect it to a riser, mount, and boom.
Excellent video as always. I’m glad more folks appreciate the air flow and power optimization approach to cooling and noise levels as oppose to smothering the components to reduce noise. Makes a much greater difference on all fronts that way.
I build my first small form factor PC thanks to this channel I went with the H210i from NZXT. I know... it's not that small, but is the best I can get in my country we have no decent smaller cases and no SFX PSU I'm very happy with it. Compact, minimalist, no RGB... Every now and than this channel helps me. The GPU undervolting video helped me to keep my temps and noise levels down
Adriano Costa this channel also got me to build my first itx build also. I used the Lian li tu150. I’ve always built an atx but now seeing how much smaller and cleaner this pc is I don’t see any reason to go back to atx builds.
Watched these videos and bought Ghost s1. Tried fan cooling the case and it was just too hot and noisy. Didn't want to spent anymore money and decided to go back to my Fractal R6. I'm so happy that I did. No noise when playing and keeps my gtx 980 ti and 3700x cool with a reasonable budget. I wished for a smaller case but my noise tolerance seems to be too low.
You definitively have awesome content especially regarding SFF ! We can see a sneak peak of how you drain your loop in this video, I always asked myself how you do it in your cases without planning for a drain port (at least none that I could see ). You only add this one valve (at 2:55) on one of your empty port and turn it open or do you do something else to make it flow out of the loop ? Thanks for you work and keep it up mate !
I don't know if I should be, but I am very impressed by the performance the 2080ti delivers while undervolted. I just discovered your channel and I am drooling all over this build. Subbed.
The LT240 radiator is 25mm while most other radiators like the Corsair h100i is 27mm. This pushes the limits of what’s compatible with the case as there is a 42mm limit and if you’re using a 15mm fan with the 27mm radiator I expect it would be touching the mobo. Any chance you can test some other radiators or comment on your experience? Thank you! Love your content!
Great Video! I think the only test that’s lacking is the fan placement on radiator test for two reasons. The first is that placement made a difference on the Ghost build. The second is that the case creator’s preferred layout is fans in between the rad and the mobo, rather than the rad in between the fans and the mobo. Curious to see if there are any temperature differences between the fan placement as it could have implications when using the LT240.
As radiator also consider the 2cm XSPC TX240, i beleive it outperforms or at least equals the st30 between fanspeeds of 1200-1500rpm. Would give you a bit more room er even room for 2cm yate loon fans.
Как же я кайфую от картинки. Все в мягких тонах... серое и белое в основном. Очень жаль, что этот корпус нельзя сейчас купить в магазине =( Спасибо за видео! Компактный мир - победит ;)
Could you actually do a little tutorial how to Fill, Drain and get the air out of a small loop like this? Especially if you for example dont have the extra fill ports on the top of the radiator. Im really interested to upgrade to a setup like this once the 3080ti drops but all the water loop tutorials i can find are for big loops with huge reservoirs.
It is very very interesting to see that the Alphacool LT Solo was able to transfer more heat at a lower RPM. That is fascinating! I would think a faster rate would take more heat away but it might be moving the liquid too fast for heat transfer to be fully optimized as indicated by your numbers at 2000 RPM. Amazing stuff! Conduction vs. convection vs radiation. Fluids and thermodynamics in action!!! Also, I would increase the length of the tubing on the run that blocks the view of the GPU water block so it forces that run into the corners and against the back panel more. This will hold it away from the GPU water block so we can see that better, IMHO.
Sadness is when you have a PC Part Picker list waiting for this case because it is perfect and realise that when it finally gets released, the total price plus shipping to Australia is going to be more than the combined price of the CPU, motherboard and RAM you've chosen. This video therefore also makes me sad but it get's my total thumbs up too!
Hey Ali! I think a good topic to cover would be 40mm fan options, especially for users of Flex ATX power supplies (including me). Noctua fans are the common choice, but alternatives with a good balance of airflow and noise would be interesting, and considering a lot of Flex ATX PSU's are 15mm thick, exploring 40x15 fans would be helpful. Keep covering the SFF niche! 👍
If the main case were flipped upside down, but the AIO still on top, but the Fittings on the rear, I bet this could work with very little tubing and some 45° conectors.
Subbed because this is exactly the content I've been looking for. Even if I wasn't looking for pc build ideas I could watch these videos all day. I envy the clean setup for sure.
I'd love a follow up video with the addition of a single TG panel on the GPU side. FormD/Sidearm offers TG panels to be individually ordered now. But I would be interested to see what that does to thermals.
It is so sad, that none of the great SFF cases are available in Germany (Ghost S1, NCase M1, NZXT H1). You are a lucky guy to get your hands on all the beautys ;) Waiting for the release of the T1. Seems to be my dream case with the watercooling options.
Thank you for all the hard work. While I will miss CaseLabs, I look forward to purchasing a SFFLabs case like this and getting back to a custom loop. Great videos. I know I and many others depend on your professionalism to keep us informed and entertained. Keep it up!
If those barbs rotate 360 degrees you could run both barbs to the left, the one on the right ran to the back of the card and the one on the left ran the same as you have it
The issue is the radiator that radiator is too little is not enough, if i were you i will put a 360mm or even a 420mm and keep it outside with detachable tubings. A proper full custom waterblock SHOULD AT LEAST keep your GPU at 40 degrees on load. You are getting the same temperatures as a stock GPU cooler and CPU ( aio cooler at least ) inside an ATX case.
just a perfect build! Will definitely try to build this one just hope I will not ruin components :D is there any instructions on how to build something similar?
Im looking at swapping over from my Dan A4 to one of these and using a Raijintek gpu cooler to air cool everything, then using the space for the radiator to house some high capacity HDD's. Your build is super cool.
I just got a T1 and I am considering to build a water loop. Would be interesting to see how much extra performance you are gaining from using the ST30 compared to an ST25.
Heya, big fan of the channel although this video had a terrible sound. I tried to test as best as I could with other videos and this seems to be the only one. Just letting you know in case you did notice something that could have compromised the audio quality in this video (don't believe it was a problem in older videos). Love from portugal, keep up with the great content
this build is lovely but IMO a dual rad Ncase M1 v6 with the apogee pump/block would be the true endgame build. It would be much much cooler and dead silent at all loads without undervolt/underclock as long as you custom tune the pump/fan curves. Hope to see you make one soon :)
Interesting GPU fiiting, definitely it's helping a lot. Stupid question : why have you not secured tubing above barbed fitting? In any case, beautiful & efficient build! Next challenge build, similar performance on air in case like SM550 (9,5l)?..:D
A fantastic video as always! Perfect timing as well as I'm eying up an alphacool 240mm loop in my ncase. A couple of questions if I may, to you and the community: I was just wondering, you're Aussie right? Do you have any recommendations for websites for water-cooling hardware that doesn't come with a crippling postage fee? And do you think your pump would be enough to power 2 240 rads? Keep up the great work!
Would it be possible to place the radiator fans in push configuration below the radiator to possibly allow for higher fan speeds and also a quieter output ? Great content as always... 😎👍
The only thing that could get better in this is direct dye cooling. Nothing else. P.S: Would love to see the X axis in your tests. It's nice to know at what time did something peaked.
I wish i understood all of this stuff a bit more. Id like to do a liquid cooled build for a living room pc vr setup but have no idea where to start. I got out of the pc game 15-20 years ago and virtually nothing is the same anymore. I guess just buying the case is a good place to start.
I was discouraged by your previous video that said 240 mm radiator just wasn’t worth it. I’m glad it was just a misunderstanding! I joined sff just so I can get on the waiting list after the initial shipment feedback is received. I really thought 11L was going to be the lower limit for a 240 mm full length GPU case. What’s the reason that the slimmer low profile fans could not be mounted in the ideal position below the low profile radiator? Thank you for this excellent video!
This is amazing. Is the list of parts all that I would need to assemble this build? Somehow I feel like there is a custom made part of the graphic card?
Hey Ali, great build as always. Just curious, the linked water block isn't RGB but the one you have in the video appears to be. Do you have the EKWB product number for the one you have? Also, does a backplate fit on the card in this case? Much appreciation!
Feels good to get this one wrapped up! Expecting to have this one on my desk for quite some time.
Please review the jonsbo t8 mini
what do you think about the nouvolo steck? btw nice clean build
Where I can by this case?
Another slick production. You just keep getting better and are the go to YT channel for anyone looking for inspiration on SFF. Thank you

You should look at XSPC ultrathin radiators. They're only 20mm thick and perform amazing as far as I've heard.
Could you actually do a little tutorial how to Fill, Drain and get the air out of a small loop like this?
Especially if you for example dont have the extra fill ports on the top of the radiator.
Im really interested to upgrade to a setup like this once the 3080ti drops but all the water loop tutorials i can find
are for big loops with huge reservoirs.
I just built this and it runs like a velvet rimmed Caddy... the lack of noise is spooky! :)
Reduce noise further by placing the computer underneath the desk on a small stand like the Ikea Knarrevik. As a bonus you get more desk space.
It is very very interesting to see that the Alphacool LT Solo was able to transfer more heat at a lower RPM. That is fascinating! I would think a faster rate would take more heat away but it might be moving the liquid too fast for heat transfer to be fully optimized as indicated by your numbers at 2000 RPM. Amazing stuff!

Yeah I set my pump speed to 92%. The pitched noise goes away and it cools just as well.
The endgame build is complete before quarantine, perfect timing.

Love from portugal, keep up with the great content
god the music and editing is just top tier man haha, great work.
this build is lovely but IMO a dual rad Ncase M1 v6 with the apogee pump/block would be the true endgame build. It would be much much cooler and dead silent at all loads without undervolt/underclock as long as you custom tune the pump/fan curves. Hope to see you make one soon :)
Dude what's happening.. for the very first time i saw some dust on you desk ! LoL
ITX ZEUS Coming in with Baldocasters brand New Album, Keep the hits coming
Lucky you, where I live mini itx cases aren't even available for purchase, no manufacturers sell here.
I think Cougar QBX or Silverstone SG13 are widely available. Where do you live?
I’m working on a K39 build. Would you ever consider covering that case? You can snag them cheap on Ali Express.
I loved hearing about the dust after the Ghost after s few months, would love to hear about how the mesh holds up on this. I love the mesh
Interesting GPU fiiting, definitely it's helping a lot. Stupid question : why have you not secured tubing above barbed fitting?
In any case, beautiful & efficient build!
Next challenge build, similar performance on air in case like SM550 (9,5l)?..:D
A fantastic video as always! Perfect timing as well as I'm eying up an alphacool 240mm loop in my ncase. A couple of questions if I may, to you and the community: I was just wondering, you're Aussie right? Do you have any recommendations for websites for water-cooling hardware that doesn't come with a crippling postage fee? And do you think your pump would be enough to power 2 240 rads? Keep up the great work!
So jealous of this build
Would it be possible to place the radiator fans in push configuration below the radiator to possibly allow for higher fan speeds and also a quieter output ? Great content as always... 😎👍
You should try it with a 25-25 mm rad&fan combo.
I would love it if you would try a dual 240mm rad set up in the Ncase M1.
Because the pump RPM didn't make any appreciable difference on thermals. It would be interesting to see what the flow rate is.
Am i bottle necking if i have a ryzen 5 3600 and an over clocked rtx 2070 super ? should i upgrade my cpu? i need some answers plz
The only thing that could get better in this is direct dye cooling. Nothing else.
P.S: Would love to see the X axis in your tests. It's nice to know at what time did something peaked.
i have a very nice rig.. but a little envious of that small thing..
Have you thought about doing a 120mm AIO roundup for this case?
will bet some liver that sticking some acoustic panel foam to the inside of the mesh opposite the pump would do wonders
Please review the aluminum side panels! They are displayed on the Sidearmd T1 page so I think it should be available in some time soon ;)
Woaa this exactly what im looking for.. too bad its sold out and not available in EU 😔
I wish i understood all of this stuff a bit more. Id like to do a liquid cooled build for a living room pc vr setup but have no idea where to start. I got out of the pc game 15-20 years ago and virtually nothing is the same anymore. I guess just buying the case is a good place to start.
love all these cases I can never find for sale anywhere
you r a real source of inspiration
I was discouraged by your previous video that said 240 mm radiator just wasn’t worth it. I’m glad it was just a misunderstanding! I joined sff just so I can get on the waiting list after the initial shipment feedback is received. I really thought 11L was going to be the lower limit for a 240 mm full length GPU case. What’s the reason that the slimmer low profile fans could not be mounted in the ideal position below the low profile radiator? Thank you for this excellent video!
This is amazing. Is the list of parts all that I would need to assemble this build? Somehow I feel like there is a custom made part of the graphic card?
Hey Ali, great build as always.
Just curious, the linked water block isn't RGB but the one you have in the video appears to be. Do you have the EKWB product number for the one you have?
Also, does a backplate fit on the card in this case?
Much appreciation!
Idea/suggestion, have some custom side panels made that serve as a distro/res/pump combo
this system only works so well because the side panels are mesh
Awesome results! Electrical noise= coil whine?
Why did you not change the radiator to the slimmer one? Could have seen thermals on those.
FastApple - The LT240? don’t have it here, and can’t find anywhere to buy it. I’m not bothered by the thicker rad and slight bulge.
Hey man I’d love to learn custom loops like this! Where should I start? Do you have any guides you’d suggest?
Fantastic build
Will this incredible build work with the 2080 Super instead of the Ti?
