One of the smallest Gaming PC. GTX 1050TI+G4600+SFX MB

[Harutips]

In this Video I show in detail how to Build a Mini Gaming PC of only 6 inch (2.79L), in the smallest possible way, with the smallest hardware components. The motherboard is an STX format, and the video card is a GTX 1050TI 4GB, the processor is an Intel 4600T (great value for money) and the case I even made using aluminum angles.

MOD EDIT: Changed thread title to lower case. ALL CAPS thread titles are irritating as hell!

Nice!

I have been working on a case similar to this that uses a itx board.

Nice work though!

OP is right when he states ONE of the smallest gaming PCs around. It's just not the smallest ever built, nor the smallest possible.

Hey, @Harutips, outstanding job. Well assembled and very energy efficient build!

Just one question: where did you get the parts for your build? I'm from Brazil too and it's always a struggle to find any "SFF friendly" retailer here around.

Hellow!, Friend! Thank you! It's very difficult to get here in Brazil. Some pieces I imported from china, it took months to mount. Due to the delay to arrive. The case itself had to be built because nothing like it is found here. The motherboard I bought at Kabum store but are no longer selling.

I'm thinking of making another one also more powerful with an ITX board too, with a Intel I5 7600, a Zotac GTX 1070TI mini, but the power supply I would use an SFX, it would not look too small, but you could already carry it in a backpack

I was trying to follow along in the video but I couldn't tell, the M.2 slot is only 10W I believe, what did you use as a power source for the riser? Also, I've heard that nvidia cards are buggy when it comes to cards connected via the M.2 slot (http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=error+43+nvidia), did you have any troubles?

I like the case design you went with. Cheap and effective.

While I can't understand the language, I subbed to your channel in case you do make the mITX version. I love seeing build vlogs / timelapses, gives a better understanding then a few photos like in most build logs of how the components are going together and your thought process.

Hi, the m2 to pcie 4x adapter is powered by a 4pin power. The riser extender did not need more energy. i didn't had troubles.

Hi, I always put subtitles in English for my videos. I'll make an ITX version. Soon !! Thanks!!

Did you use the power jack integrated into the board or an external power jack?

I used only the power built into the board. The only power supply is the external source of 120watts (Video time 1:53). Look to this MB manual on page 5.
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/H110S2/HelpDesk_Manual/ .. in the video I show connecting in time 3:26.

Ok I see. So you connect the 4 pin floppy connector to the M.2 Adapter. On the other end of the 4 pin connector is a large 4 pin power connector. Then you connect the SATA power connector to the board, and then a SATA power to 4 pin power adapter to connect the loop? That means you are pulling 75W + hard drive watts from the SATA power connector.

I imagine that the SATA power port isn't mean to put out much more than 1 or 2 Amps max. There hasn't been any problems with pulling 75 W from the port?

That's right you're right. It's well on the edge but I've played with it, and in free time I leave it on for 24 hours mining.
I have not had any problems yet.

I want to try this build on an asrock deskmini same specs. any update so far? with the overall build? did you encounter any issues so far? ty
