I love the wood esthetic on it. ITs always the small details that make these builds great! you should built them to order! sooo cool!!
What you have accomplished, on a technical level, is madness.
Nice, great build, that RTX4090 is massive with the factory cooler.
sick build! love the way it looks at the end.
Ya know what I love as much as a well put together PC build video? Some solid house music in the background!
This is insanely well filmed and edited. Good job.
i don think you know much about editing lol. This is like highschool level shit.
Awesome build. God I love watching people build PCs.
such high quality, great work!
Loved it. Amazing job!
Great build and video!!!!
wow waited a LONG time for you to come back and it was worth the wait!!!
Hey thanks! It's such a shame that I deleted my last channel by mistake. All those millions of views gone!
I watched this with an ad blocker.
*smooth criminal starts playing*
(Smooth operator starts playing)
GANG!
I touched grass today
No, you watched it on TH-cam
You sir have earned yourself a sub. Love it
Love the music, and nice build!
great build!
This rig is soooooo clean dude.
beaautiful build!
love the tune!
You are starting to get notice. Don't stop.
This thing slaps hard. Looks like it's made to goose around on some those crispy OLED panels. Delishquisite!
Gj bro, very nice!
Bro omg i would absolutely love a mini pc that looks like that and can run games on 4k like this nicely done bro hope on day i get something like this 🤞
Wow, I was wondering where graphics card had gone, but you've replaced the cooling fan with a liquid cooler, which is a nice surprise.
Just discover your channel and i love it !
Crazy Build !!! 👍👍
The 4090 you picked is my favorite variant
Gigabyte makes a beautiful 3 color fan. Plus it has a amazing mount support that bolts to the motherboard and holds the back end up.
Sooooooo sexy
very cool build
I'm just confused why we thought a 4090 in a mini and singular air cooler was gonna be a good idea, not the route i would've taken but man did you make it work! NIce job!
nice video, nice music, nice build ! GG
Sooo underrated
This gave me flashbacks of a Thermaltake MicroATX build from many years ago. That leak must've made your stomach turn.
Oh yes lol, I'm lucky it was just the O-ring inside but it took me many hours of troubleshooting 🤯
its beautiful
Quality content
great music, great pc, magnifique
looks nice
Nice build, I really like the sensor panel with the wood. Can't imagine why that super compact Gigabyte wouldn't fit in the case, I like how you showed how impossible it would be to install.
Bro needs more subs
From what I've seen, you are not a gamer, but a videographer. Insane dude!
I'm both 😆
"I've been planning this build for a long time." Really? Beautiful real-life depiction of causality.
Nice intro animation
everybody else: watching how he build the PC for the entire video
meanwhile me: watching how the plant in the background spins
Ok...you win!! 😉👍
Awesome video. Came here from pcpartpicker
i like this build.,
I got same problems with HJ 240MM water cooling combo, solved by replacing Stop Fittings and it works well.
The problem with chinese parts...
@@Glerox does not everything like that come from china ? bequiet , corsair etc all are manufacturing their thing there or not ?
You spend almost one year. Jup. This is realistic. And a great effort. I was playing around for a couple of weeks with my own custom water cooling. It was a pain in the ass. And costly. And also not entirely quiet. the radiator also has fans. Bigger and slower fans than your typical CPU cooler, but still ;-) I will gladly stick with air cooling.
Yeah good idea haha. Watercooling is often not worth it unless you're having fun with troubleshooting lol or if you want the absolute best perfomance.
Nice job. Although I am curious why you chose the 7700X as opposed to the 7800X3D. The power draw is pretty close but gaming performance is much better at very little extra cost
Some ppl just don't want to deal with even the few extra degrees and that's ok
I would have chosen the 7800X3D but when I started the build a year ago it was not available!
@@Glerox thx for clarifying that makes sense
what TV is that?
I love your work! I just subbed!
LG OLED E9
production values on this video are through the roof, and only 484 subs? that's a criminal situation to be in.. hope sub numbers pick up for ya!
Hey thanks! I had a bigger channel before with 20k subs but deleted it by mistake! I'm restarting from scratch FML haha
Cool!
You need way more subs bro I’m shocked you haven’t hit the algo with this sick editing ! I wish I could find someone like yourself to edit mine. Reach out if you’d like to though!
Hey thanks! I add a channel before with a few 1M views videos but deleted it by accident... so I'm starting from scratch unfortunately! I barely have enough time to edit my own video haha so I'll pass on your offer!
Great build!
I have a similar combo with a 7700 with a rx 7900xtx i have noticed that the cpu tends to heat up on games like cyberpunk (77 -84 C)
Do you think its an expected temp for this CPU or would it be because of the small case of your pc?
Cheers.
It's because he is using small air cooler for cpu.
Ryzen 7000 processors are built to get to maximum performance until it reaches 90C and then stay there. So your temps are perfectly normal. With a bigger cooler it will stay as hot but offer better performance (marginally).
Experts recommend lower temps for longet product lifespan
Not great but ok. Glerox used small CPU cooler because of the small case. 7000 series ryzen will boost as high as possible for the workload until thermal limit (other limits too but thermal will be hit first usually). You can get better temp with more capable cooler while doing the same work and it is generally recommended for longgevity of your system because hot components will "burn" nearby parts too.
Tempted on doing the same display mod on the front panel on my a4-h20 case . Did you have to modify or cut the hole yourself on that wood panel or did JakeFaceCustoms do the hole for you?
Yup I asked him to cut the hole for me! Amazing service I recommend him
could you share some information about installation and setup of that 5.5inch display?
I bought the screen on Amazon, you can find it on the video description. It fits perfectly in the pre-built hole in this case, no modification needed! It connects via included USB-A and HDMI cables on the back of the motherboard. It basically works as a second screen in Windows. The software I used to make the custom layout is AIDA64.
Whats the app/addon used on the screen to display everything? clean build!
Thanks! I use AIDA64
you desrve way more subs
Great job ! Just a heads up, I noticed you used a copper radiator with an aluminum block on the gpu, are you aware this will lead to serious corrosion of the gpu block over time ?
That's a nickel plated copper block by the looks of things.
Nope it's nickel plated, no worries there.
No stress ! Again absolutely brilliant job! :D
Aside from the leak, any complaints with the aliE pump/rad combo? Was considering doing the same to watercool in my a4 h20.
No, once I replaced the O-ring correctly, it was working fine. It's not a good quality part since it's made by a random chinese company, but I haven't find a better quality option. Also make sure to have a reservoir cylinder to fill it because there is no reservoir in it.
Wait wait wait. I'm new to PC building, but are you telling me that tiny little slab of plastic that looks like a naked motherboard was the GPU, and the rest of the material you removed was just for cooling??!?!
If that's correct, my mind is officially blown.
Yes in fact the GPU is even smaller. It's the small chip that you see me put thermal compound on it!
I had the same problem with the radiator, I just smeared everything with car sealant
😆😆
I never realized the coolers were so massive on gpus
You should watch a PS5 teardown and see how much of that thing is heatsink.
Wow. 😮
It's a great build would be lovely with wooden stereo
I have walnut tower speakers with fit perfectly hehe
@@Glerox great setup
very nice video = you have my sub :)
So, next step: Dual-rad! xD
And yeah, I've seen at least one attempt of dual-rad in the H2O, that included a semi-passive 280 side-mounted rad and a regular 240 on top ..
Id love to see the process of getting the custom screen done on your case. I had a bout of thermal issues with my gpu a while ago and it has made me crazy anal about monitoring temps in every way possible. Any videos or literature on how y oh achieved this?
Hey Glerox, which app do you use to run onto the small OLED screen in the case....and like the previous re-unboxing video.
AIDA64
Looks awesome dude.
but you could still buy a high end GPU for Small form Factor
Have you found an RTX 4090 that would fit in this case?
Cool
Where can I buy ball head screws to mount the panels? I can't find any.
Jayz taught you well
Yup haha I'm his padawan 😆

Без радиатора этот ssd сваливается в троттлинг при малейшей нагрузке. Более грамотным решением было бы взять 2tb версию накопителя с нормальным радиатором, а потом, при желании, взять более холодный накопитель под всё остальное на заднюю часть платы.
И хз норма ли, но охлад проца получше бы... 70-80 градусов при нагрузке 30% чет сильно много
How on earth did you make that display? Is it a program or did you program it your self? Would love to see a tutorial for it. 😊
I'm using AIDA 64! You can check one of Jayz Two Cents, he does have a tutorial
@@Glerox thanks man!
Aaastiii! Yé bin ptit!!
nice modem!
😆
Damnnnn you did all that cleanliness, then dyed the water? That's a shame. So close to perfect.
Well since it's my build to play Xbox first party games, I wanted it green like an Xbox lol. And also it fits with Walnut (Nature, I guess lol).
I like the screen at teh front, thats not part of that case normally is it?
Nope it's a screen that I added myself
Why didnt you use something like a 7800x3d or 7950x3d?
They weren't available when I started this build last year. The 7800x3D would be a good fit for the small cooler because it has a low power consumption.
Also, on another topic - the title: Yes, SFF PC building can be very, VERY painful. Eg. just making the mistake of using an SFX-L PSU instead of a "regular" SFX one can have a huge impact on how much your fingers gonna hurt. And yeah, you dont want to repeat that hurt, so you rather by the more expensive SFX than the SFX-L option. Worse, you actually upgrade to a much more expensive SFX one, because you need the extra 3 cm of space ..
Yeah, SFF PC builders oughta be masochists xD
(talking from experience: Had to replace the PSU in my S300 liquid cooling mod build because the SFX-L would block most of the space; it worked very well inside the S400, but in the S300? nope. THAT HURT AF.)
Everything is great, but isn’t the cpu a bit hot?
Niceeeeeeeee
Not me jamming out to the music 😆😆
Link to the mini monitor plz. And what software you used to display the temps?
The screen I use is in the video description. The software is AIDA64.
Now I want to add a Waveshare OLED panel to my A4 H20.
Do it! It fits perfectly haha
Could you share your AIDA64 sensor panel? Just ordered the display and contacted Jake for the front panel. Also ordered a usb 2.0 to HDMI to put inside the case instead of plugging it in the rear of the 4090. My 4090 is just air cooled for the maintenance simplicity, NZXT Kraken z53 AIO on the 5950x dated CPU.
what was that screen you used
Check description
Waveshare 5.5inch HDMI AMOLED 1920x1080
What software did you use to link your data screen to your pc
AIDA64
i thought im looking at a wall mounted watercooled PC
It turned out to be a beautiful PC, but the processor temperature confuses me... At 30% load the processor temperature is 70-85 degrees, which is very high
While that is higher than expected its not problematically high, most cpus and gpus these days can go to close to 95 without any real issue
Yeah Zen 4 cpus are programmed to run the fastest they can before reaching 95c and then throttle down... you'll see most zen 4 builds run at that temperature
Did you make the intro animation by yourself?
Unfortunately not!
What software did you use to track the temps from the mini front screen?
AIDA64
@@Glerox Thanks a lot!
amazing thats i stick to see billding a nice pc
Somethings bothering me about how the cpu was installed. It doesn't look right, but could be from the time lapse filming style.
IT LOOKED LIKE THTE BECUS HE DIDENT DROP IT FROM up he did it from the side
Cool build, but assuming from the GPU temperatures, I'm guessing your coolant temperature is dangerously high for your pump life, even mediocre blocks like bykski's have a DELTA to coolant not higher than 15c. At 70c, this mean your coolant is. probably in the mid to high 50's. A 240mm is not really adequate for a 400w load alone.
Yup I 100% agree lol. I was disappointed by the cooling performance of this loop. I will know for the future. An mATX size would have been better than a microATX build for the 4090.
What do you mean it is not working well at 70c? Then pump will be destroyed by the temps?
Where did u buy custom case?
The custom front panel and side panel are from JakeFaceCustoms on Etsy
You couldn't fit another run for the cpu? 😢
what do you mean?
Where can u get the sensor panel?
On Amazon, the model name is in the video description
what the purpose of build mini pc if you still need tube outside of its?
What do you mean tubes outside?
How much did all the parts combined cost you?
Around 4500 usd
i want to know how to setup a temp monitor like that
The software I use is AIDA64. Jayztwocents has a video explaining how to do it.
Are your old videos available somewhere? Gargantua...
Yes check my videos I've reuploaded them!
