Hello, Its me again. Ive recently seen a video from ETA Prime doing a mod with a 3050 from Yeston, it seemed to have good temps on another type of mini computer, so i wondered if that was able to be done with a Tiny6 like yours? Seemed like a good idea since the 3050 only draws power from the 16 lane PCI-e slot plus in total without taking into consideration heatsinks-3D covers and power brick the total cost of parts rounds the 450 to 500$
As he mentioned in his video, he will post another video about the Yeston RTX 3050 LP with an older Intel CPU system, like the Lenovo M90q. I think he will post that video soon, so you might be able to learn more through his video. Thank you.
Yes you can use that one. I had drilled a hole in the top for airflow for my RX 6400 and it works like a champ. Running an M920q. Using a Yeston 3050 will be just fine.
I am also curious how the 12GB and 6GB A2000s compare. I have seen sometimes in OLDER systems the 6GB outperforms the 12GB. It's a very odd scenario. Not sure why it occurs.
Masterpiece, I’m thinking why not use the extra space above the CPU to place the power supply, so that there is no need for an external power supply, or to expand mechanical hard drives and other things?
The power supply is far longer than the PC, so I cannot put the AC adapter inside the PC. Instead, that space is better suited for a 2.5-inch drive or adding a screen to display PC performance info, like CPU and GPU load, temperature, weather, clock, and so on. Thank you.
Just came across your video and i had a question, does your 3d printed case fit any other kinds of motherboards or was it made for that lenovo model specifically? I really like the case and wanted to see if i would be able to use it for other mini itx versions.
I think designing a 3D case to fit a standard Mini ITX case is possible; however, we don't have front I/O such as a power button, USB, and front audio to work with that motherboard. Also, there are many available Mini ITX cases similar in size to this 3D case available on the market, so we might want to consider those metal cases rather than a 3D-printed one. Thank you.
@itggear3400 thank you for your reply, I'm new to a lot of the pc build stuff, but i found your video very informative. I've just subscribed to see more in the future.
I had some issues with my 230W AC adapter, causing the PC to shut down under heavy load. This problem occurred because my adapter seems to be a non-original product of poor quality. If you have the original Lenovo AC adapter, even a 175W one should work fine. Thank you.
@@luisantoniocavalcantimaia8590eu fiz o projeto num m720q com uma t1000 8gb e um i7 9700t de 35w. O i7 tá esquentando mto. Tem um cooler melhor no Ali, só que com a taxinha do love, vai pra 1000$ conto.
For this case design, it should work with the mentioned model and its parts only. It cannot be mixed with my previous design due to differences in the model, I/O ports, and their locations. Thank you.
Would you be interested in possibly upgrading your designs for the m920q with some of these changes/ updates? Especially the front Bezel ones. Also, have you looked into CPU heatsink upgrades given the increase in clearance? Are ANY of the mounts a standard size?
I think modding the GPU like the RTX A2000 carries a high risk of potential damage to the GPU, as I might knock off components on the PCB. Also, using the 3D design method to upgrade is a lot of fun for me, and it allows me to keep the PC and GPU in their original form and warranty. Thank you.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, I watched some videos on TH-cam showing coolers, like those from the Arctic brand, but I don't remember the model name or number. They use a combo CPU contact frame to attach to the heatsink directly without using the CPU mounting screw holes. However, the one I saw was a full 150mm CPU cooler, and I'm not sure if a low-profile CPU cooler that mounts the heatsink using the CPU contact frame exists on the market. Thank you.
Well, I have a Lenovo Tiny PC which is only 1L in volume. My Tiny PC has a PCIe slot, which I can use to install a GPU. However, since the PC is too small, it doesn't have enough space for an RTX A2000 GPU card, which is a dual-slot low-profile GPU. So I designed a 3D case model and 3D printed it to make it possible to install the RTX A2000 GPU on this Tiny PC. Thank you.
Hi! Trying to replicate this build but on an m90q Gen3. I’ve been dealing with stuttering within even basic games like LoL where frames drop every few seconds, making it unplayable. Was this why you switched to the 300W power adapter?
The reason I switched to a 300W AC adapter is that I had issues with my PC unexpectedly shutting down under heavy load. I assume that my old AC adapter was probably defective or a poor-quality non-original product. In your situation, it seems the PC is overheating and throttling. You can check your PC, CPU, and GPU temperatures to see if they are too high and causing the PC to slow down. Thank you.
Use ThrottleStop to check if you are getting BD PROCHOT. I have the M90Q Gen3 too and after the computer shuts down while in heavy load, I have to turn off the computer, remove the AC adapter for few minutes and then boot again to gain full performance back.
@@eragondelta1 same, it's grayed out but ThrottleStop will let you know if your system is getting throttled or not. In my experience , the way to stop it is by unplugging the computer for a few minutes.
I did similar build based on the first video M920Q, rx6400, i5 8500T, 175W original Lenovo PSU. Only way to get good stable performance on a Bazzite OS was to turn off in BIOS CPU turbo settings and performance step frequency. Now runs stable and can game anything at 1080p some even with high settings.
I think you were one of the first people to do this mod with this specidlfic lenovo pc. Now everyones doing it.

Nice build but how do you get the fan quiter? My a2000 fan sounds like a turbine.
Great work on the prints.
the A2000 overclock headroom is pretty massive

hello can you do upgrade on lenovo m72e sff case and h61 motheroard and 180w psu
Hi. What issues did you find with the 230W psu?
I had some issues with my 230W AC adapter, causing the PC to shut down under heavy load. This problem occurred because my adapter seems to be a non-original product of poor quality. If you have the original Lenovo AC adapter, even a 175W one should work fine. Thank you.
Hello from Brazil. Very nice this build. I have a M920q, and an A2000, the backplate works with your case dual slot for the M920q?
Hi Lucas. I'm also from Brazil and also doing something like this project (m920q and rx6400).

@itggear3400 idk about modding the GPU, I was saying that there may be a bolt on heatsink for the CPU that fits now that you have added clearance.

Would this also fit on the Thinkstation version of this model? The Thinkstation P340 Tiny?
Yes, it would.
I will totally buy that OEM top cover off you for a good price if you don't need it any more.
I still need the top cover to revert the PC back to its original state. Thank you.
Can you try this on rtx 4060 low profile gpu?
We don't have enough power to run the RTX 4060 LP GPU in this tiny PC system. This is the fact that we must accept. Thank you.
Hello, what excellent video interests me more about the subject, could you explain some things to me?

Yes, my Dell RTX A2000 runs at 85°C at full power, even in an open-air setup. Thank you.
hi, how much did it all cost and can you put the rx580 in it?
Rx 580 is way too big
@@Belusen oh ok and what kind of gpu goes into it that can handle bigger games?
@@Alex-w9u3t at this size youre very limited so I feel like something no bigger than an Rx 6400 would be good
@@Belusen okey
4060 LP is a two slot GPU, i think the same size as this video shown but more powerful.
What processor is this?
In the video.
