exactly what we're doing today the X32 from x-works is a spine style case that promises unique Aesthetics strong GPU compatibility and a solution to the problems associated with large cases need to reach your rear i o no problem want to bring your PC to visit a friend easy want to hear about our sponsor with smart deploy it can deploy Windows apps BIOS updates and security patches to any device anywhere from the cloud get your exclusive free software worth over 570 dollars at smartdeploy.com Linus thank you at just 3.2 liters this is the smallest chassis that we have ever looked at but it's also not really directly comparable to our previous record holder the velcase velka 3 because the X32 doesn't feel constrained by crude conventions like side panels just lets it all hang out if you know what I mean let's get this thing out of the box wow there is really not a lot too it is there oh oh hold on there's another piece I've got my instructions right here but honestly there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to it we've got panel a which is the motherboard tray right here then we've got panel B they call these side panels it's technically there on the side this holds our GPU and power supply PCI Express Riser got a power supply shroud oh speaking of the power supply check this thing out this is a flex size power supply made by Delta and despite its tiny size it can output 500 freaking Watts at what sort of efficiency um look how cute it is there's also the bag of very important Hardware including our power button for the front of the case for wherever it goes on the case standoffs and screws some little rubber feet and these are actually going to be our very first installation step okay well that doesn't stand on its own what could go wrong Brandon man now that that's so perfect I feel so much pressure putting on the other feet all right now we can install the front switch so it's got a nice little silicone o-ring here and hopefully this is long enough to reach wherever it needs to go oh this is really nice everything is lettered so that you can't screw up which one you use oh balls oh non-ferrous screws bad I know it's premium but I hate it okay install Four B motherboard standoffs secured with four J screws I think I did it right I sure like picking up screws with my hand like a chimp oh my God honestly I'm a little confused by this step they don't show where you're supposed to Route the PCI Express ribbon cable for the Riser so so I'm doing my best with it here I think it's supposed to go on like this though it's not clear how the whole thing goes together yeah and then it immediately becomes apparent that I did not do it right oh I wish I'd done the SSD first but now we know the next step says attach cables to the power supply if modular and our power supply is in fact modular these are trippy cables you guys probably can't tell from there but they're like super flexible okay so there's silicone sleeving it's all floppy doodling the 24 pin comes down to only 14 pins because you know what I guess you only live once the eight pin comes down to four pins um the other more different eight pin for PCI Express gets only six pins on the power supply and then we get a single peripheral connector or rather a single peripheral cable with two SATA connectors the whole thing goes into our shroud a little sorry cool one criticism of the power supply which is part of the kit is that these included cable Combs appear to be sized for regular sleeving or sheathing and these silicone ones come out really easily so maybe we can try and use these later but I'm not going to try and put them on right now I noticed that I've got socketed screws for the power supply that are imperial sized and then this appears to be a metric head hex screw you need too many tools to assemble this case oh crap it looks like it is supposed what yep it's not cable managed right it's supposed to go in here does that even fit oh my God why don't we just undo everything we've done then this all could have been prevented by having the instructions be clear so now we're looking at this side oh cool okay our modular cables go through here get in there man everything about this is just not a millimeter to spare storage and Power just like that and when I saw this thing I was like oh that looks so cool and now that I'm hands on with it I'm like oh this is so cool we definitely have to add to our list of things to evaluate how loud it is because the thing about Flex power supplies is um 40 millimeter fans not the greatest in terms of quiet operation okay awesome this is it this is final assembly of the case this clearly cannot go there I see why they wanted you to Cable manage down your PCI Express power connector earlier because once you close these up together you no longer have access to any of this okay crazy this is the kind of thing I wouldn't recommend for a first-time Builder just because you have to kind of have some understanding of where all the parts are likely to end up so that you can Envision what you're trying to work towards here this is all screwed together this comes out for the GPU right see that okay then over here this is going to have to kind of squeeze out under the motherboard kind of like that and I don't know this one will end up somewhere this whole thing is so out of order the next thing that we're going to install is the GPU we ended up going with an EVGA RTX 3060 this is one of their XC cards got a nice backplate dual fan cooler our main reason for choosing this is that we wanted this thing to be high performance but not ridiculous and we also have to fit within the constraints of our 500 watt power supply so this is as powerful as you'd be able to go on a build like this without sort of violating the spirit of building a super tiny machine right it overhangs the volume of the case a little bit but not that much you know before we actually put it on for real though we've got to put on the GPU bracket Mount which is what's going to allow us to screw in the uh the PCI slot cover thing this is one of those like what way does it go on kinds of things if you were like man I don't want my PC to look like everyone else's PC fishing mucking accomplished this thing is so cool though now that we've basically assembled the whole computer um why don't we talk about what we're going to put in it starting with the motherboard we had wanted to go 12th gen but unfortunately we haven't been able to get access to any 12th gen it exports yet so we've gone with an RG strix z590i gaming now I understand that we went a little overboard get it this is by far the highest end piece of Kit in our build but let me explain because this is a tiny machine that gives us relatively little in terms of expansion options a board like this gives us as much as possible so whether you want a couple of m.2 ports on a neat little Riser card or whether you want Thunderbolt 4 for expanded i o that'll definitely be nice to have once you've used up all of the six USBS on the back this is going to have you covered then in terms of our CPU we've gone with the core i5 11600k not exactly the world's fastest most power hungry chip but we wanted to show the most capable machine in this form factor on the subject of the CPU we actually chose this one for a balance of decent performance six scores 12 threads max turbo 4.9 gigahertz and reasonable heat output because while we could hang a gigantic Tower cooler off of a case like this in fact that is one of their advertised use cases There's No Limit whatsoever to the size of the cooler you can put on it I think that would be violating the spirit of trying to build our smallest computer ever if we had a dual Tower cooler that hangs this far off the side of the case so instead we've gone with a Noctua L9 I it's not the most performant cooler in the world but at least it would fit if the case had side panels and Noctua does say that as long as you have adequate ventilation this should be able to handle the 11 600k for storage we're using a combination of the SATA ssds that we install all before those are for more for bulk storage and also just to show the capabilities of the machine and this crucial P5 plus so this is a Gen 4 and vme SSD that we're going to install in the topmost of our m.2 sandwich slots here now normally I would take off see the little little peel on the thermal pad down here but in these circumstances I'm not going to because this particular SSD doesn't have any chips on the bottom so there's not really anything for us to cool down there we are concerned with the top one here though so let's go ahead and pull that off there we go that leaves only memory so we've got two eight gig sticks of 3600 c16 memory from crucial we could put anything we wanted in here obviously because we're not limited by the height but we went with these and that's it again I really wish we could have gone 12th gen make sure you're subscribed because we'll definitely do something like that in the future tdr5 small form factor but not today we're going to plug in our eight pin CPU power connector 24 pin motherboard power connector I'm gonna do our PCI Express connector here and then lower the whole thing into place okay these silicone wires very cool um not necessarily easier to work with we've got a recess down here it's got to get a screw in there and it's almost definitely going to fall off because it's non-ferrous Ferris grueler's Day Off it's pretty funny and that's it the whole freaking computer that is pretty cool how transportable is this thing extra six cores nearly five gigahertz I mean you could put up to 64 gigs of RAM in it if you really wanted to 3060 we have five terabytes of storage on here right now and you could go even higher than that if you really wanted to it's not let's fire it up and see if it actually runs properly oh man my teammate got in the way of my bullets he wanted to eat them all oh man I was kind of hoping to be alive at the beginning of this shot but I guess it doesn't really matter check this out we're getting anywhere between around 200 to 300 frames per second in CS go all cranked 1440p and like look at this thing this is our little banana plushie LTT Store for scale here got a little apple for scale it's freaking tiny with that said it's not that quiet one of the things that your side panels do is reflect noise from your fans back into your case and kind of muffle them you will get no such functionality out of this the other thing that contributes to this is that while the GPU and CPU fan are both near silent this 40 millimeter fan on the power supply yeah it's it's not this is cool we're not even getting any thermal throttling our CPU is sitting up at around 90 degrees with our GPU at a chilly 60 degrees because all of the heat that is being kicked off the GPU is just able to dissipate into the surrounding air however CS go not exactly the world's most CPU intensive application and if we were to run something that is a little bit heavier like say for example Cinemas are we thermal throttling bummer yeah that's the answer um if you happen to have it's like ironically choosing such a high-end motherboard actually hurt our ability to cool the CPU with this particular style of cooler because it packs so many ssds and big IO Shield you know aesthetic things around the CPU socket that there's no room for the air to come out of the fins and be dissipated into the surrounding air so with this motherboard
