"Modern" PC Build

- Among a myriad of reasons, including slow video editing performance, I decided to upgrade to a faster main PC. I like to have my creature comforts found on old PCs, so I put it in a case that is closer to what I am used to.
PC Specs:
Gigabyte B550M K Motherboard (AMD B550 Chipset)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3600MHz
16384MB DDR4 3200MHz
nVidia GeForce RTX 3060 8192MB PCI-e
Crucial BX500 2TB SATA SSD
HP GH60L SATA DVD/CD Reader/Writer
USB 3.5" 1.44MB Floppy Drive - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
yes very modern SO SCRUMPTIOUS
Ty, indeed LMAO
Sleeper build goes hard
Only thing, you might want to make sure your thermals are good, those cases in particular are hotboxes.
Ty! I have been keeping an eye on them. My CPU maxxed out at around 70C, and my GPU maxxed out to 65c give or take. Not amazing results but having both an intake and an exhaust fan seems to keep it stable. The vent on the bottom just above the USB ports does surprisingly well when an intake fan is installed.
@@fiveleggedspidermy 3060 run the same temps as yours, so it's fine (it's a modern case with six 12 cm fans)
@@maklogetrich2378 Ty for letting me know! I lucked out that the airflow through this case seems to be just enough to keep what I have in it cool. I bet your PC is super quiet, when you have a lot of large fans like that you can afford to run them at lower RPMs without losing airflow. I only have an 80mm intake fan and a 92mm exhaust fan so I have to run them both at full throttle (connected by molex with no thermal control) to keep the temps stable LOL. I wouldn't say mine is at jet engine levels however you can definitely hear when it is running.
@@fiveleggedspider not really quiet actually, but yes, it can run at lower speed and higher speed, but I guess for 3060 it's still fine
@@maklogetrich2378 Ye, they don't need a whole lot from what I've seen so far with mine. Quiet or not it sounds like you have a really nice PC :D
Modern Old school.
Ty, my favorite way of doing things with newer PCs.
Love the sleeper build
ty!
lowkey miss having one of those dimension cases on the desk, i owe my childhood to one. theyre old enough to just look retro/stylish now too... ik i have some spare parts lying around so maybe i need to build myself something similar 😅 thanks for this
Ty! I used to have a Pentium 4 Northwood 2.4GHz Dell Dimension 2400 that I upgraded to 2GB of RAM and put a PCI nVidia GeForce 6200 in to try to stretch out its functional lifespan as far as possible LOL. It is crazy that these are even retro now, time flies.
this is sick as hell
ty!
Nice build! How many hz is your display? Also you'd be surprised by how much less input delay you get at insane framerates (over 500), even if your monitor can't support it.
Ty, I have a 165hz display, and the much higher framerate does really help. I have Quake maxxed out to 250FPS, reducing input delay anywhere you can is essential. I have my keyboard polling rate set to 8000hz and my mouse is set to 1000hz, in a vain attempt to compete with the awesome pros on Quake.
modern pcs losing out on features that we used to have actually does suck honestly. probably in the future they'll take the front facing headphone jack too
My old main PC (Dell G5 5587, Core i7 8750H, GTX 1060 6GB) does not have an HDD LED and it drove me bonkers for the 4 years I used it. When the PC is loading something and it looks like it has stopped for a while, there is no indicator lamp to see if the storage is being used and that it is still loading. The only way to do that is to open task manager and see what the disk usage statistics are. I could understand the loss of CD drives as really they are technically obsolete, but not having a disk indicator lamp blows my mind.
I want to do an AliExpress build out of mine, but the depth is too shallow for a 2011 cooler. Also not having the HDD where you put your intake fan makes my eye twitch, but I get it (I put a 3060 in an Inspiron 620 case).
Oh yeah, it sucked to find out that I couldn't install my SSD with the original mounting bracket if I installed that intake fan. I was afraid of temps rising where the case is somewhat small, so I decided to go with the weird setup I have now. That is awesome by the way, I used to have an Inspiron 620 that I put a 1050Ti in back in the day but kept the original mb with the Core i5 2310.
@@fiveleggedspider After a power outage my original board (620) gave up, so I put a H570M in there. I might use spacers to get a 92mm fan upfront, otherwise I'm stuck use an 80mm pendant oriented to avoid the front I/O wiring. I thought about doing a video, but I cheaped out with a white Vetroo cooler so it looks out of place. Surprisingly everything worked with no mods.
@@zeroturn7091 Oh yeah power surges eat PCs for breakfast :( It is really shocking how little modification a lot of these OEM cases need to put custom motherboards in them, and to put OEM motherboards in custom cases.
hey, this actually looks so cool but i had a question. were the light and power button connectors proprietary? i wanna make a similar build, but i don't want to take apart my computer to find out it's incompatible with the case.
Ty! So for this case the connectors are proprietary, but it wasn't too bad. I just unclipped the contacts from the big connector they were attached to, and put them into smaller standard connectors from another ATX case I had. The wires were very easy to trace to each LED and the power button. The front USB 2.0 ports on this PC use a standard cable. I am unable to use the audio jack on the front panel because it is an entirely proprietary connector, so I just unclipped the contacts from the little connector that plugs into the front panel USB/3.5mm PCB. All the changes I made to the case are entirely reversible, in case I ever wanted to put an old Dell motherboard back in it.
@@fiveleggedspider that actually sounds really interesting! would it be possible to ask you for any help if i were to do a similar mod myself?
@@green-dp4oz I could make a video on it at some point if you wanted. The biggest pain about it is not breaking the little plastic clips that hold the contacts in, I usually just slide a razor blade under the plastic clip very gently and tilt up slightly to be able to pull the contact out. After that you can slide it into an empty ATX clip and it will click into place. The contact block that connects to the USB header works exactly the same way, though the contacts and clips are tiny so it is harder to do.
@@fiveleggedspider sorry for the late reply, but that sounds great. if you are able to, definitely make one, i've been trying to locate a tutorial for a while now and i can't really find anyone
@@green-dp4oz Sounds good, I will see about making one in the next few days!
And nice pc :D
Ty! Using a Pentium 4 in 2024 :p
gg :))
What game is that?
Quake Live, though I've changed the config to be closer to something that pros use (all bright green Keel for enemy models, gun is not visible, and I am using vertex lighting).
run your rig, not your mouth... thats what I always say
I agree with that sentiment. I have my own biases, but at the end of the day it is to each his own. Newer PC designs look awesome, and people put a lot of hard work into making those builds look the way they do, it is just not my personal style :)
@@fiveleggedspider the sleeper builds are really tight. I think I might do one with a mid 2000s gateway black case now
@@banguseater That sounds sick! Gateway had some cool looking PCs around that time. The towers they made are nice, have plenty of airflow through them too if I remember right.
