    I'm using the Core V1 case for my living room gaming/HTPC. I'm really happy with it. It looks right at home alongside all my other home theater equipment, and it's quite roomy, fitting two 3.5" AND two 2.5" drives easily, as well as my GTX 1080. I added two Noctua 80mm redux fans at the back, highly recommend everyone do the same; they're basically silent.
    A few downsides: it only fits up to 285mm graphics cards, so no big bois, and once it's built, it's very hard to get in there and change stuff. No cable management to speak of - the horizontal mobo alignment means the ATX, SATA, front panel, and fan cables come straight UP out of the motherboard, and then really have nowhere to go. If you want an itx machine you can swap parts on regularly, do not get this case.

    This is one of my favorite cases. I built six systems in this case. You can have a full size ATX PSU, a pretty long graphics card. and very good cooling. 200mm fan in front, two 80mm fans in the back. The white version looks nice on a desk or video room server setup. I use AMD cpu's and the 8 core Ryzen 7 5700g is cooled with a stock cooler, and If I add a Graphics card I get 2 gig of ram back and takes some load off of the CPU.. You can also have two 3.5" or 2.5 " drives in the right side panela.

    It's a nice build! For a gaming PC at 1080p it's perfect. I built basically the same thing, but "more ITX" so components were more expensive (PCCooler i100-2 case, B660M ITX/ac motherboard, Thermalright CPU Buckle, IDCooling IS-55 CPU cooler, ASUS TUF Gaming 3060 12GB GPU, SF750 power supply). I used a smaller ITX case so I had to prioritize cooling / heat dissipation, the case you used here really makes for nice cooling, with the trade off, it's less portable.

    Arctic has new 80mm pressure fans to be excited about. P8 Max is 25mm thick and spins 0/500-5000 rpm quietly at low speed. A pair of them in the rear would be quiet but ramp up and clear the case out when things heat up. I'm experimenting with mounting a pair of them on Noctua NH-D9L instead of the stock fans. S8038 is a 38mm thick server fan that is PWM and spins from 0/500-10,000rpm. Typically, if 80mm server fans are PWM the slowest they spin is 2,000rpm and scream, but these new ones spin as slow as 0rpm/500rpm and can be purchased in a 4-pack! Just throwing that out there. Another great video as always, especially with a solid budget build.

  • @markdavies981
    @markdavies981 Год назад +55

    Another great video. As always, the production quality is outstanding. The build is interesting. Probably not what I would build for myself, but obviously you had a target budget to aim for and the results meet your expectations, so nice job! I'm surprised to see the i3-12100 perform so well to be honest. I would probably have gone for the i5-12400, that's only a bit more expensive than the i3-12100, but I guess it would have pushed the total cost over your designated budget. Your results show that we don't need a super computer to play games at 1080p with a decent refresh rate. In some cases the quality might have to be turned down a bit, but that is to be expected with a budget build.

    • @sparkythewildcat97
      @sparkythewildcat97 Год назад

      Yeah, a 12400 is a very nice cpu for a lower-mid range build, but if you forced one into a budget this tight, it would certainly negatively impact performance overall, as you'd get stuck with something like a rx 580 for the gpu, or 8gb of ram or getting some sketchy PSU, etc. At this price point, you really want to put every penny you can towards fundementals (aka getting an SSD (instead of a hard drive), 16gb of ram, a decent PSU and case so that you will feel comfortable carrying them over to future builds instead of wanting/needing to start from scratch as soon you have a decent PC upgrade fund) and after you get your fundamentals solid (which are pretty solid in this case, though you could get a 1tb SSD for the same price now vs his 500 GB SSD) then I'd put everything leftover towards the nicest GPU possible. As long as you're running an R5 1600 or i7 8600k or better for your CPU, you're extremely likely to be GPU bound in most games on high settings, 1080p up until a 5700XT/3060, at least. This 12100 probably won't be a significant bottleneck (again, on average is the important thing to remember, as some games will be cpu bottlenecked in 99% of scenarios, e.g. with a 13900k and a 3060.) until you put something like a 6700xt or stronger with it at 1080p, and even then it would be most often GPU bottlenecked if you were using that at 1440p or higher.

    i built a system using msi's b550 am4 codex system, all you need is a cpu and gpu, the case is very well ventilated, and the board has a surprising number of features, the power supply is lacking though but it seemed to work well under load, got a used gtx1080 for 100 bucks and a 3600x for 70 bucks, in total it was just under 400 bucks, not bad for a system that can play most games at 1440p medium to high settings

If you want one of the best gaming performance on a CPU, a 5800X3D outpaces a 12900K due to it having 3D V-cache (think of it as stacked cache) If we're going 7th gen Ryzen vs.13th gen Intel, 7950X3D over a 13900K and 7800X3D over a 13700K for the same reason.
      That being said, those are cases for gaming. For broad-use, 12/13th gen Intel offer some of the best bang for buck at each SKU with better DDR5 support out of the box over 7th gen Ryzen. The general overview is that there is really not much of a noticeable or worthy comparison to pit higher end CPUs from either company against each other. Other than DDR5 issues. It really comes down to what you're willing to spend and how much value there is in it to you.

    I've been building for friends for a long time. If you want to build something low cost and upgradable start with mATX unless ITX is a MUST.
    mATX makes upgrades a lot easier down the road. Specially storage and ram. Companies like Jonsbo sell SFFish cases for matx. There are quite a few others out there. There are also cheap MATX cases that flow well and can be upgraded to SFF type case.
    If the plan is to get gaming and upgrade as money comes in, I always try to go with the best motherboard and PSU for the money (not those overpriced "GAMING" boards) and build around a used gpu/cpu. I like things like a early ryzen and 1080ti, RX80/590 and things in that bracket. There's a $80 1080ti on my local marketplace right now. Could easily upgrade a used ryzen 3000 series to a 5800x3d in a year.

    One slight problem, itx cases and motherboards are a considerable amount more expensive than matx cases and motherboards so you should have just gone with an matx case and motherboard. Also, lga 1700 does have a phenomenal upgrade path, however am4's is even better. Yes I know, 12th gen and 13th gen outperforms am4 by a long shot but it's so much cheaper that it's worth it. The motherboards are much cheaper, the cpus are a lot cheaper, and overall it's just worth it. Plus, a ryzen 5 4500 will lose slightly on gaming but be on par with the i3 12100 in multi threaded tasks. If you ask me, the massive price cut is definitely worth it for just a bit less performance.

    For about the same price you could go all AMD and get a Ryzen 5 5500 and RX 6600. The Ryzen 5 5500, on paper, is worse than the 12100F, but the 6600 is about 35% better than the 1660 Super. So why not just use the Intel CPU and AMD GPU? Smart Access Memory. By using both AMD products together, you can enable SAM (resizable bar), and get more performance in most games that should balance out the 5500 to the Intel (or even outperform it), while costing slightly less. Unless you buy the 1660 Super used, or catch a good deal, it's also about $30 more than the 6600. So you could shuffle that difference into a Ryzen 5 5600G (or 5600).

    It'sa pretty good build for the money and form factor, but if you have the room for microATX, you can get your motherboard and sometimes your case cheaper and you don't even have to think about the ATX vs SFX compatibility hiccup. It's also more likely that your GPU will fit, especially larger, higher end ones.
    I'd have probably gone with a Ryzen 5 5500, it's absurd value for money if you can find it. AM4 boards are also quite reasonable still, the ASRock B450M Pro4 can be had somewhere in the $70ish range. Even if the 5500 gets beat by the 12100, and it absolutely does in single thread, you still have an upgrade path to a 5800X3D if you so choose later on down the line, and you can put those savings into a better GPU or more storage. The 1660S isn't a bad card, but that could put you a bit more toward getting the 6600 you recommended out of the gate for example.

  • @Matthew-vm7qi

    I have this case, and I am not particularly happy with it. The 200mm fan has a 3-pin connector, so it's loud. I had to replace it with a Noctua fan, which cost about as much as the case itself. The case sets itself apart from other ITX enclosures with exceptional storage options, but actually wiring the drives is a challenge. It's slightly too short for many tower coolers, which could have been avoided with just a few millimeters of extra height. And the metal is incredibly cheap and easily bent, which is why this is consistently the cheapest ITX case on the market.
    At least the side panels are interchangeable.
