Every now and then, step-by-step videos like this are refreshing. It's like going back to grade school for a day as an adult. Lol
Absolutely. Exactly the video I was waiting for.
Things change over time, case/parts manufactures come up with new gimmicks all the time, so yeah its nice to get a refresher, maybe pickup something new along the way.
Been a pc builder 7+ years but relatively new to sff while they're of similarities I'm always somewhat surprised at the same time with how many differences in building
needs to do a custom water cooling build step by step
@@sigma_z oh shit that's college. It ain't refreshing at all for me. 😂
For those with a CPU without integrated graphics, you can build the computer out of the case first. Plug the graphic card directly into the motherboard without the riser cable, go into the bios and change it to gen 3. Then reinstall the PC into the case. Takes more steps, but gives you more option when choosing a CPU.
yeah i don't really get the whole "this whole build would be impossible to get started"??? 🤣
Yeah, can't you literally have the motherboard resting on it's box and get your bios updated and troubleshoot incase you have DOA parts?
big brain time
I would pretty much recommend getting a post (and first boot if you can) assembled outside the case anyway, to make sure everything is setup and running well, then go and fiddle with the case and everything else. It would suck to assemble the whole thing especially with a sff build, just to realise that something is not connected properly or you have a dead component.
@@alexeidmitriev6235 many time i by pass the first post test for normal ATX build but with SFF ITX build, i would not start putting anything in the case until i know that everything thing will work after, should also tested with the riser cable as well
You've become the premier SFF channel on TH-cam and I love your dedication to it. SFF is the only style of PC I ever build anymore due to size and creative layouts. It's SO much more enjoyable and satisfying than your standard tower.
I built my first ever PC in the NCASE M1 V5 thanks to your videos. There were no good step-by-step guides for a SFF system back then. I am sure this guide will help a lot of people!
As someone who's planning on buying all the parts for a sub-10L build...I AM SO HAPPY YOU MADE THIS ALI!! ❤️
Did you build one?
i like the fact that he simply show how you set fans and undervolt every time. its simple but useful rather than having to look it up each time. calm clean and simple, refreshing
do you know if the undervolt settings applies to all GPU or just this one?
I think it's different for each generation of gpu. He does have a video on doing it somewhere. I used it for my 1070 but it involved more dragging of points. But the general process is the same in afterburner.
@@wAvm Its about GPU capacity,brand,version but at the end of the day you can do it on any of them in a safe mode, downclocking and reducing power usage with MSI Afterburner and save the profile.
@@wAvm that specific setting should be good only for 3080s. If you have a different card it's recommended to use different settings.
For the GPU mounting, there's a tiny L-bracket that screws into two of those three holes on the back of the case in between the MB and the GPU, which goes under that big bracket for the GPU mounting so that the two brackets sandwich the GPU I/O plate in between them, making the GPU even more secure. It's not a huge deal if you don't use it, but you might as well. There's also screw holes on the inside of the case where you can screw down the bottom tabs of the GPU I/O plate to make the GPU even more secure and reduce some sag on the GPU (since it's hanging upside down in most T1 builds)
Thank you very much for this well-put-together video. Having a step-by-step guide is very helpful. I will this would have been around when I first started working on sff builds. Beautiful job!
the lightning in this video is so aesthetically pleasing
Always is. This guy has better cinematography than most professional Videos done by mega corporations.
It's so soothing for real
Neh😃
Wait..... lightning? Hes thor!!!!!!
What about the Thunder?
Perfect. Now where to get a gpu
Where do you get a Formd T1 too
Just go and buy a gpu, simple
@@nathanbasset 😬
@@DTG4844 💀only if I could🙄
no way
Super clean setup, man! I loved the calm atmosphere of this build and the overall pacing of the video. Very relaxing. Also thanks for the great tip at the end about controlling the fans to better fit real-world needs. This can sometimes get overlooked and we can fall prey to thinking that the manufacturer knows best fore very circumstance. But as you demonstrated you can achieve similar performance while optimizing noise levels and keeping everything cool with just a little thought and effort. So jealous of the outcome on this one. Great video!!
This would be an awesome series to keep up. Always have your water cooled liquid temperature sensing build, but then also continuously upgrade a air cooled itx build. You could keep people updated on best fans, motherboards, cpu’s/gpu’s eventually, and especially the small things like the riser cable fix. This would be invaluable to newer PC guys.

Thanks so much for this video. I've been having issues figuring out what parts to use in a itx build and this makes it easier and boosts my confidence. Awesome job!
I've built a few PCs in my life but still watch full walkthroughs like this one. Very well presented, makes me wanna go for a small form factor build :)
Same

Damn, this is the guide that I've been waiting for, pretty straightforward and simple.
This is perfect. I think these smaller builds necessitate build videos more than any other type of build because the tolerances are so small.
That's beautiful. The last 3 PC's I've built were pretty compact ITX builds but man this is next level, I love it.
So is this the new "Build with me" mini series? Love it. Don't have the parts but I have this vid saved in my playlist for when I do. Really helpful and very relaxed.
Oh man, as someone getting ready update my T1 build, I'm SO grateful for this
You are the main reason why i got into sff build. Another amazing small build done . Nice job!
Been waiting for a step by step from you for a while. You have some of the most polished vids in the biz imo. I'm not looking to build a sff build anytime soon, but still a great vid!
Did not do this specific build but you made me discover and choose the t1 as my case and help me to know more about it and for that i am grateful, you do an astonishing job !
Dude heck yeah! Love this video. Would love to see more in depth builds like this!
Credit where its due: This channel got me to love it builds, and my first itx build was inspired by this channel! Keep it up bro, love your contents!
Friendly, incredible lighting and camerawork, killer knowledge (thank you for the undervolting guide), and he lifts. What a bro :D
Really nice step by step build and excellent information on the setting up. I have been watching your content for some time now and I am always impressed with the builds that you have done and the reviews as well. Thank you and keep it up!
The cinematic aspect ratio is so nice. Please keep uploading like this.
This kind of video is really good man. Cool kinda niche but still doable pc build where we get to watch you go through the motions, this is a content niche i can really get into. hope you make this style a regular occurrence
Watched the entire video. Loved how you went into undervolting and fan curves. I have been looking for something like Argus Monitor
Awesome SFF build and guide. I would also suggest trying to block/cover any gaps next to those intake fans if that's possible, this will increase air flow rate through the case.
Lovely build, eventhough i always miss the air filtration in these compact ones - makes maintenance & quiet operation so much easier
You could do these once a month honestly I’d still watch. Someday soon I’ll be making my own build. Hope prices go down as well 🙏🏻
Great video, interesting to see your thought process and planning while doing a sff build.
Can't say how much love i have for showing the steps to do undervolt your gpu. It helped tremendously.
It's rly interesting and nice to see this different type of pc building, it seems a great option for a travelling PC.
Love your videos and your channel’s quality is just amazing
my last few parts for my watercooled T1 build just came today. This couldn't have been posted at a better time
clean, simple to follow and informative. Content gold.
That simple yet powerful pc build every one was waiting for

Wanting a SFF, air cooled build, with a lack of the RGB flash, this is definitely the direction I'd like to go. Great video!
Damn such a nice desk setup, the lighting and everything makes it look amazing. Clean 10/10
It's Monday, I have too much work to do, but Optimum Tech uploads.....
Can't... Stop.... Myself... From.. Clicking!!!!
Im not gonna go for a itx case but its really satisfying to see itx minimalism cases and how spacious it is
Thank you for the video! Very concise and loved the change of style too!
Love your vids man. It's great seeing you with 500k subs!
This build totally made me changed my mind on small build !!! Thx a lot for the step by step and all the tips !!
Quick question though : why not a higher CPU ? Only due to the motherboard ? Isn't the i5 "too weak" to run most of the big games nowadays ? (not just one question afterall 😅)
I hate how good you make every aesthetic of this production look, it is really distracting and hard for me to scroll away when I am trying to do something else 🥴🥴😢
I’m definitely making this in the future, I’ve been thinking of making a mobile desktop and this seems perfect. Great video and also really satisfying!
Been waiting for a while but finally got the components, im now just waiting on the case to restock. Super excited.
Thank you for this build and video.
Your pc: "Frames per Second"
My pc: "Seconds per Frame"
Slight Tip for the psu cables, use 2 separate cables for the gpu if possible so the 2 separate psu connectors can give the sufficient energy to the card. a single cable has power limitations, 2 is more sufficient for 3080 and alike which are in the above 250 W range. Will work with single cable, but it will be a slight limiting factor for the current setup.
I felt so much involved into this like i did it myself. Great video!
Thank you! I've just discovered Argus Monitor, really useful.
Bottom intake fans are now linked to the gpu temps, much better.
Argus monitor is the most important software for any pc builder to buy. It's amazing.
Man, you should also tag this video as an ASMR!
This is impressing that u can put everything in this tiny case! Awesome work
This video satisfied my OCD, such a clean build, everything went smoothly
Ahhh perfect timing just what I needed, some optimum in my life :D
Idea: Long LoFi compilation of all the B-roll from your previous vids. I'd put that on my TV in the background during work and just leave it on for days
So aesthetically pleasing to watch. Awesome video, as always
Best video ever! And these tips at the end? Love it. Long time Ive been lookin for program that control fans through the GPU temp!
Thanks for the tip on Argus Monitor. I was looking for exactly that functionality (controlling case fan temps from GPU temp readings) and didn't see it mentioned anywhere else.
@@deepakkajla It's worth it to me, especially since other programs I tried did not work correctly.
Great build, however i think you should recommend ppl to use two separate pcie cables for the rtx 3080, since an 8 pin cable to dual 8 pin is rated up to 288w .. and the card can exceed 320w while gaming (if no undervolt at least )... Keep it up
True, but this doesn't account for separating loads on multiple rails. It's more efficient to spread the load across that potentially unused rail than run it on the 24pin's.
Actually your 8 pin , 12 pin 24pin whatsoever can deliver higher outputs then specified. There is a video about the excact details on how these power connectors work on the der 8auer's TH-cam channel. You should definitely check him out as he has more details on hardware then most common Hardware TH-cam Channels. Cheers
You're not making any sense dude, most of the power comes from the supplementary PCIe power cables, not the PCIe slot.
Always looking forward to this kind of build!thumbs up!!
Thanks to this vid, I was able to build my first gaming PC and it performs great! Thermals are awesome and it’s nice and quiet as well
This how should look Verge's PC build guide. :)
Huge thanks for your work and see you in a next one!
I would advise to set the fan speed to the GPU Average instead of the just "GPU 1". With that setting you can reduce those random situations where the fans just ramp up to slow down again because of gpu load/temp peaks. ;)
@Alpinedownload msi afterburner and set a custom fan curve
Amazing build man. Thank you for sharing.
Super informative video, not even a single thing that was unneccesary, editin, music was perfect, and super helpful tips, a very well done video, you earned a new SUB easily
We need a 2022 Build!
Everything about this is opposite of the Verge PC build.
Nit: you should use two separate psu cables for the 3080.
not really true. i run a 3080 FTW3 3x-8pin on the 450 watt bios with stock daisy chained cable from a Corsair SF750. each cable carries full power. don't do it with a cheap PSU though.
@@jeembomb part of the reason for using separate cables are since the cables and connectors are not rated for that amount of power, even if the power supply would work.
Could someone help me out? Building a 3070ti system (needs 2x8 like the 3080) - should I use one daisy chain cable or two separate cables like op suggested? I have the same sf750 psu! Thanks in advance!
@@PatrikKron you're WRONG. they ARE rated for it. Corsair has officially come out and said so.
@@soul0merk For 3070ti, I think it’s fine to daisy chain but best check with your manufacturers.
I do have to say, I really liked this toned-downed video, just nice and simple
straightforward and straight-to-the-point... i like it.
If I was building a rig with a 3080, I'd definitely spend extra on a gen4 riser cable.
Plug the gpu directly in the PCI slot out of the case, set the bios and then build. You don't really need an igpu at all.
If you need to update the bios or reset it, then that’s a giant pain in the butt to do every time.
@@optimumtech i would upgrade to the Loque pcie gen 4 riser cable for 100$ if possible, for more peace of mind and future upgradability
@Zweysteyn it is a nice to have, but not the only option. Generally you may update the bios once when it comes out of the box and then never have to touch it again.
However if you do, you'd need to dissasemble to do it. (or purchase/rent/borrow a cheaper chip with an igpu)
@@optimumtech What undervolt settings would you use for a 3090FE? Thanks.
@@optimumtech then just have a spare ultra low end gpu, easier than taking the whole system apart :)
Finally a builder that shows the screws! Instant like for that
Oh man this was so damn good! Loved this. Would love to see more
Best youtuber ever
You should use two separate PCI-E 8 pin power cables for the 3080 ideally
Hi. For what reason?
@@JayisLIVE The PCI-E cables are rated to deliver 150W each. Cables - not connectors. Since the 3080 is rated for 320 W, you need around 250 watts from the PSU in addition. You're running almost double the max rated current through the cable - not a great idea and the card may just not be able to draw enough power and cause instability or, worse, a fire.
Yes. Nvidia manual says use two separate cables.
@@mikeydude750 PSU cables aren't standardized, nothing stops PSU designer/manufacturer to put wire with higher gauge. Those are stock cables, if wire gauge isn't enough then it's Corsair fault.
It would make sense if PSU has more than one power rail, but SF series are single rail design.
@@niter43 The ATX standard does actually specify a minimum load that the cables must deliver - that is 150W for that connector. If they aren't meeting that spec, they're not meeting the minimum standard. Might you be able to have some PSUs with larger cables that can handle higher currents? Sure, but you can't count on that so it's safest to just use both cables.
As always, great content. No BS, clear and to the point.
Thanks to your NCASE M1 videos, I was able to do my first ever custom loop build AND first ever mini build! But I think I'm going to stick to air going forward haha. I really do like the T1 though, so this gave me some ideas to consider for the next build!
Thanks Ali!
If I saw it correctly, you mounted the cooler with the heatpipe bend pointing upwards. Noctua strongly recommends to avoid this, because this orientation reduces the cooling performance. However, when using an efficient CPU this might be a handicap worth to consider if other orientations are not possible.
Speaking of it, the MSI board is actually marked as not compatible with the L12 cooler line.
you're right, but the case once closed and finished is upside down, so the pipes are looking down
@@balderm001 that's what they should not do, maybe I wasn't clear about. The bends being on top with the ends pointing downwards should be avoided. The case was flipped several times in the process, but I think this is the orientation as it is now.
Noctua explains it in a graphic on their site.
this really makes me want to swap my Ghost S1 for a FormD T1
@@pheor mostly future proofing. Ghost S1 is still a good case and has some advantages over the T1, but I do think that the T1 uses it’s space more efficiently which makes for it to have a bit better cooling; being able to fit a 3 slot card if needed, and being able to add an AIO down the line without having to purchase additional parts(tophats).
Amazing content, learned so much. Eager to get a T1 myself and build it up.
Really pleasing aestetic. A little camera focus problems, but lightning is nice. Thanks for your work
I haven’t see the video yet, but is Ali soo I know its a great video.

this.
These small form factors are really interesting building, and as always your videos are very entertaining.
Thx man'
I really love this small ITX builds. They are amazing!!
Shouldnt you use 2 separate PCIe cables for the 3080, rather than the branched plugs from the one?
Yes, typically. However hes undervolting it.
not needed. Using dual branch cable makes no difference if the psu is decent lol
Doesn’t using one pci-e power cable push past the power draw limit using a 3080 at ~325W. The pci-e slot gives 75W per spec; I understand the pci-e power cable is rated to 125-150W
yes, ideally you want 2 dedicated power cables instead of the daisy chain he used, but with his seutp worst case scenario you'll get some instability when the card is pushed hard.
