00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720
what's interesting about today's build is not just that it's among the fastest

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.639
that money can buy or that it's all AMD

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:14.000
CPU and GPU but also that it manages to

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:17.279
use among the largest CPU coolers on the

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.400
market a full-sized atx motherboard and

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:21.439
yet the whole case the whole packaging for

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.400
the case is only this big

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:32.559
meet the lien lee 011 dynamic mini the tiny

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:34.000
case that can fit almost anything inside

00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:38.239
it and this video is brought to you by ting

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:41.760

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.760
the video or by checking out the link below

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.559
given then that the main focus of this build is in fact the case i'm just going

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:03.440
to go ahead and clear all this other stuff off the table

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:10.799
we've got an installation guide you might actually want to check out their

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:16.320
video installation guide as well because it can be a little bit tricky a whack

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.799
ton of brackets we've got one for extending the motherboard tray spacing

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:24.840
out the back panel pump mount or something more brackets

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:29.200
that wasn't enough brackets already screws cable ties and all of

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:33.280
that good stuff as we'd expect from liam lee the case is made predominantly out

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.960
of aluminium so you can see got my little

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:42.400
magnet here doesn't stick and it being 2020 it uses tempered glass panels in

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:43.759
both the front and side of course that

00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.320
doesn't mean that they've skimped on airflow was built in collaboration with

00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.280
renowned overclocker der bauer and leanly advertises

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:56.079
adequate airflow and i tend to believe them

00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:00.399
they've got fan mounts over here they've got the ability to mount fans in the top

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:04.960
in the bottom you can basically fill this thing with fans and or radiators

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:08.959
depending on how much other hardware you want to stuff inside it the biggest

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:13.680
reconfigurable portion of the case and this is really innovative is the back

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.520
panel so you can see out of the box it's designed to take a full sized atx

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:22.400
motherboard that is freaking cool given the size of

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:27.200
it i mean this the whole case is barely as tall as an atx motherboard but

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.239
of course that's going to come with some compromises if you do that you're not

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:34.080
going to be able to easily fit a radiator in the top for example so if

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:39.920
you don't like that option you want to go up let's say m80x you can go ahead

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:43.920
pop these out pop a spacer in here move the whole thing down and now you've got

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:48.319
a ton of clearance at the top for going water cooling so cool look at that we've

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.160
got these ferrous metal strips on either side of these perforations that allows

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:55.280
you to mount a magnetic fan filter or if you really wanted to an RGB strip we

00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:58.640
won't be using it but despite its diminutive size the case does allow

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.440
three and a half inch hard drives to be installed and what's more

00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:06.800
they're actually accessible via this cover at the back this is one

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:10.319
of the really nice things about these cube style cases is once you get all the

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:16.000
panels off of them holy smokes do you ever have a ton of

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:20.480
room to work ah

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:25.120
oh that's what happens you got a big nose it could get a little whacked there

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:29.280
when you drop some this is a motherboard tray expansion it's configured by

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:32.959
default for a mini itx motherboard with the assumption that you're gonna fill it

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:38.239
with hardline water cooling hardware or something along those lines but we are

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:40.319
going for as many expansion slots as we

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:44.959
can one of the nice things is that lee and lee considered not just the radiator

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.720
element of water cooling but also where to mount the pump and they included a

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:52.319
modular pump bracket a plus good job guys

00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:55.519
now before we start installing the rest of the components i want to talk about

00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:00.640
the last thing that allows this case to be so compact without compromising

00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:07.920
expansion and that's the fact that it takes an sfxl power supply i

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:10.640
am a big fan of these power supplies

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:16.079
they are just as small in the x and y dimension as an sfx power supply but

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:20.959
they're slightly deeper which allows them to take a 120 millimeter fan now

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.320
it's still a slim 120 millimeter fan meaning it's not as quiet as a thicker

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:28.400
one because it just can't generate enough static pressure unless it spins

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:34.880
faster but it is a great compromise between sfx and atx and you

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:40.400
can get them in like crazy configurations now look at this this is

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:43.680
an 800 watt fully modular power supply

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:45.520
that's this skinny so that

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.240
is what keeps the thickness of the case down slash allows it to have nice tall

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:54.639
graphics cards like you could probably put an rtx 3090 in this thing

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:58.880
if you could find one enough case talk let's move on to the

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:02.720
meat and potatoes you don't have to spend a ton of money to get a fully

00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:06.960
featured x570 board that's going to allow you to get the most out of your

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:13.919
ryzen 5000 CPU this one here has four memory slots decent vrm for overclocking

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:16.479
usb 3.1 front panel support it's got two

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:22.320
m.2 slots that both run at pci express gen 4 speeds and it even has support for

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:27.960
NVIDIA sli and crossfire for our CPU we've gone with the sensible but still

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:33.360
very high-end ryzen 9 5900x this is the only one in our entire

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:37.680
office so as soon as i'm done with this build i will be promptly taking it back

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:42.320
apart and giving it back to Anthony so that he can use it on his GPU test bench

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:52.160
for RAM we've gone full bore this is 64 gigs of g skill trident z neo 3600

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:53.440
megahertz cl 16 so that's about as high

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:58.960
as you're going to go before you start getting into pretty darn pricey dram

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:03.600
now as for whether you want to go four sticks or two sticks

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:07.039
if you're going for absolute maximum speeds yeah

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:10.560
two sticks is what you want but this is more of a like

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:13.759
kitted out machine so we're going for capacity

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:18.840
now we can take care of m.2 storage of course we've gone with the ever fancy

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:24.080
rocket NVMe 4.0 this is a two terabyte model from

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.960
sabrin's and it comes with a gigantic heatsink

00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:31.199
the assembly process for this guy is pretty straightforward you just peel the

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:34.880
thermal tape at the bottom put this puppy right here this is if you

00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:38.319
have a double-sided drive like the one that we have so that is there's uh flash

00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:43.759
chips on the other side got to keep those not cool but cool enough then

00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:49.600
there's already a pre-applied thermal pad on the bottom of the heatsink

00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:51.919
so we just take that plonk it on top

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:55.759
then we pop the m.2 into the slot and

00:06:53.919 --> 00:07:00.000
it's a little tricky with that heat pipe in the way i installed it backwards

00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:03.759
oh man see there's three heat pipes on this side

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:08.319
and two on this side so it's easier to screw it in now because i don't feel

00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:11.840
like putting an os on the you know drive we're using for the build

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:14.880
i'm just going to chuck my test bench drive down here

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.919
you never saw anything uh

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:27.599
it's gen 3 oh no boo hiss

00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:27.599
time to put a heat sink on this puppy

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:35.680
now you're probably thinking gee Linus an nhd15 chromax black

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:39.680
really in that compact case

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:45.440
and i would reply yes weren't you paying attention before

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:49.360
here's a really important tech tip if you have a heat sink that doesn't use

00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:53.280
the original mounting bracket please please keep it safe you'll need

00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:57.199
it if you ever are made your motherboard or if you change out your cooler to one

00:07:55.039 --> 00:08:01.919
that does use it so we're only using the back plate which means i'm going to put

00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:01.919
the rest of this into the box

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:08.879
hi oh that is some good cat but butthole b-roll there he's

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:13.919
happy that you're upset i put too much on i'm only installing one of the fans

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.680
here that is purely for looks no other

00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:20.000
reason you can also save a buck and get the s version of this heatsink that only

00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:23.680
comes with the one fan now we just gotta plug in the fan

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.479
now it's time for the moment of truth where we make sure that all this stuff

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:32.719
actually fits the standoffs for the motherboard expansion piece are

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:38.880
pre-installed so you don't even have to deal with that that is sweet

00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:43.760
not bad at all okay while my intention was to use 120 millimeter fans the ones

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:48.320
Jake sent me appear to be the ones that were on the roof of the old office as

00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:53.440
part of whole room water cooling so they're absolutely filthy

00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:58.480
i guess we're going with 140 mils so we can fit two of them as intakes

00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:02.959
over here those will also dryer over the power supply and the hard drives and

00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:05.920
then two of them and i guess i'll go intakes for those as well down here on

00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:10.160
the bottom we do have two more mounts at the top

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:15.040
and these feet are super clever they've got another slot on them over here for

00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.959
the fan filter to slide in i love it

00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:21.519
oops there's definitely a little bit of trickiness getting at the cable

00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:23.360
management at the back until

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:28.320
hopefully this is it anyway we removed this two and a half inch

00:09:25.839 --> 00:09:31.920
drive mount there we go

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:37.279
it seems like the 24 pin on this silverstone power supply has a second

00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:41.120
four pin coming off of it that looks to be like uh for the

00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:46.080
secondary CPU power connector

00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:50.480
i guess i'll just try it um there's a separate eight pin that's gonna provide

00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:53.839
most of the power for the CPU anyway so i'm not worried that it's gonna break

00:09:51.839 --> 00:10:00.560
anything mostly it's just a really weird thing to do why

00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.560
break the standard in that manner

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:09.120
okay this is where the build gets

00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:14.399
disorganized i can't have the fan cables up here kind of bent a certain way and

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.600
get a 140 ml fan in here but we did get

00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:21.519
it in now finally after much waiting and cable management

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:26.880
it's time for the graphics card we've gone with a 6800 xt kind of the second

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:31.680
down from the top of the line to match our CPU making this not a bang for the

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:36.240
buck machine by any stretch of the imagination but

00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:40.560
an extreme performance machine without spending

00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:42.480
way too much for only a small additional

00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:47.120
performance gain this is actually my first hands-on with

00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:51.040
an asrock graphics card they became an AMD board partner i want to say a couple

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:57.760
of years ago my goodness this thing is an absolute

00:10:54.480 --> 00:11:01.519
monster isn't it HDMI 2.1 dual display

00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:04.000
ports usb type c three cooling fans if

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:09.760
it was me i might have just put a bigger cooling fan in the middle

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:12.560
rather than this kind of decorative

00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:15.920
fascia piece here but it's not up to me and look at that they've actually got a

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:19.040
built-in switch so you can turn the leds on and off naturally we'll be leaving

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:23.519
the leds on because we want the full performance of this card and everyone

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.880
knows you need RGB for that pci express

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:28.399
gen 4 here we go ladies and gentlemen

00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:32.079
like they're not short enough for it to be tidy to plug them straight into the

00:11:30.079 --> 00:11:37.839
same card and they're not long enough to get them out of the way i'm not

00:11:33.680 --> 00:11:39.920
impressed with these cables we done

00:11:37.839 --> 00:11:45.360
i wasn't kidding when i said that back plate's not as strong as a

00:11:42.640 --> 00:11:45.360
one-piece one

00:11:46.880 --> 00:11:52.240
there we go you can peel off the plastic too if you'd like

00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:57.920
that's the best part ow working on the setup here naturally

00:11:55.760 --> 00:12:03.360
got my lttstore.com northern lights mousepad all right i'm finally in game

00:12:00.880 --> 00:12:08.480
the system's not loud and all that time spent fan tuning cost me was

00:12:05.920 --> 00:12:11.839
missing marquez's birthday didn't even send a tweet and now he's probably

00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:18.320
sleeping it also cost me a lot of time you can see it is dark outside so

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:22.560
happy birthday marquez and i'm sorry my children for not spending any time with

00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:31.040
but hey the good news is i'm playing do maternal at 4k ultra details at 170 to

00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:32.480
200 FPS on all AMD all right i want to

00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:35.920
see what kind of temps we get and then we can call it here i'm just going to

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:40.000
beat all these baddies and leave this running in this room so that it'll heat

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.440
up or not heat up see how it goes

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:48.160
i'm back this has been running for a couple of hours now so let's go ahead

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:53.120
and tap out seriously hardware info wasn't running this whole time oh for

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.399
crying out loud 67 max

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:59.120
dang huh oh hot spot temperature 85 max oh

00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:03.040
that's right that's an AMD feature that allows them to take the temperature of

00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:09.760
exactly the hottest point of the die and use that to throttle their turboing

00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:12.480
behavior our GPU clock uh

00:13:09.760 --> 00:13:16.240
minimum just shy of 2.1 gigahertz dang

00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:20.639
as for the CPU we maxed out at 82.6 degrees and that's with the fan speeds

00:13:18.079 --> 00:13:25.680
locked so not allowing them to ramp up for maximum cooling all in all not a bad

00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:28.880
little machine given how small it is and the fact that we stuck with air cooling

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:33.680
i'd be interested to see what we could do with this thing with a water loop now

00:13:31.680 --> 00:13:36.880
the power supply doesn't ramp up too bad while it's

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:41.040
going ham freaking love it

00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:46.959
