Thank you for covering the Velka 3. It’s been one of my favorites since the V1. I don’t think Velka gets the recognition they deserve
Very smart little build, looks awesome.
Great video as always.
Awesome, a real SFF build!
Excellent stuff
I love sff builds so much
Awesome video! I have mine on order. Please show the 5mm offset and how it looks.
Thanks for video, you are one of the best channels on TH-cam covering SFF builds!
As for Velka 3 - it is great case but kind of "suboptimal" for powerful gaming builds.
One of my recent build was with modded RTX A4000 in case by Custom Mod - way better on both perfomance and temps, albeit slightly larger.
PS. Sorry for possible mistakes, english is not my native language.
Thanks for the support. The A4000 is cool, but it costs near 4080 / 4090 price brackets. If you mean ADA SFF model. I'd sooner build in something a little bigger, like Velka 7.
@@L91I actually mean "old" A4000. I bought some of these from miners for about ~350$, swapped heatsinks and do some other mods. One of the best cards for SFF builds.
Dope PC.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the PSU. It’s a crucial part
what you need to know
@@jonnyfontane3607 Which model it was. It was an anhanced 600w modular (which is what I have) and was curious about as I may buold in the velka 3 one day
its mentioned in the video, its a ENP-7660B
@@petercruz1993 in the specs they mention max length is 150mm, that is almost impossible to find: unsure if they consider the full length or just the "bigger box" without the cable bracket.
I am glad you made this very good video -- I will be following along as I make a build with the excellent Velka 3 (I am eagerly awaiting its arrival in the mail). Regarding the ZOTAC RTX 4060 Solo, a couple of users have mentioned that they had problems with the fan pressing against the side panel. Have you (or anyone that sees this) noticed any issues with the fan touching the side panel?
Thank you. My fan only contacted the side panel when grabbing the case by the side panels and moving it.
@@L91 That's very good to know. Thanks for your response!
7800x3d and a noctua NH-L9A-AM5 ? Their website says that cooler can't even handle the base clock.
Something is wrong.
The specs list in the video says the Ryzen 7 7800X3D used in the build has been "optimized". I assume that involved curve adjusting and undervolting.
He should highlight that in case someone goes on and doesn't "optimize"
@@mauricobian can't argue with that, it would easily be missed by someone skimming the video, only listening to audio, and/or generally just not reading that closely.
hypotheticly does 7800x3D have any power gain over the 7600x?
How did you get the front plate on without causing the PSU board to bend really bad?
How did you tweak the pbo -20 settings ? I did ppt 75 but idk how did you setup pbo -20
Do you think the Colorful RTX 4060ti mini would fit in this case? Looking at the specifications it shouldn't but I know sometimes there are exceptions.
It's not compatible, sorry
4060 Ti StormX from palit and 4060 Ti Pegasus from gainward will fit
Hi, great build!
What power cord have you used for the PSU ?
(the site states that the power cord is not included for this psu)
3 pin. you can buy one in many shops.
imagine this with a portable monitor with little hooks that mount to the case
Any fitment issues with the modular psu? I really want to go for that psu since the only cables I’d be using would be the motherboard and cpu cables. I have the rtx 4000 sff so it’s pcie powered and I want to keep the cable managing as simple and clean as possible and the one provided by velka isn’t modular so I’ll be having cables that I won’t be using and taking up space.
Edit: I’m currently in a formd t1 v2.0 and I have their light blue gen 4 riser cable. Do you think their riser cable will fit in this case? If you can, would you please test if the riser cable is doable in this case? I don’t have the velka 3 to do any testing so I’m just wondering. The case and psu is gonna cost quite a bit and I just want to save some cash.
The modular Flex-ATX worked fine in Velka 3. It was only Velka 5 I had some trouble with. As for the riser cable, I'll look into it and get back to you.
@@L91 any update on the riser cable fitment?
Hey sorry im a bit confused i have a motherboard mini itx pcie gen 3.0 and planning on putting a 4060 in it with the velka 3 case im just confused on which pcie cable to buy the 3.0 or the 4.0 do i have to buy for the same pcie of my gpu or motherboard ? Thanks !
You can use gen3 or gen4, it doesn't matter, atleast for now. Once you switch to pcie gen4 motherboard, you'll want 4.0 riser purely for compatibility protocol between hardware
Hi, Do you know if the Alpenfohn Black Ridge CPU cooler would fit in this case?
It would not, only supports coolers upto 37mm. BR is 47mm tall.
Are the feet magnetic? or did you screw them on the case itself? Thanks,
What length of cables for the power supply do you recommend?
Just got the velka three with the enp 770 any idea why my psu won't turn on? Trouble shot with my old PSU and it turned on fine.
I guess you got it sorted ;)
no worries, velkase will send you a new one
Where did you get your custom length cables from? And can you give me the lengths for each??
These come with PSU: www.geeekstore.com/shop/enhance-enp-7660b-600w-black-flex-atx-modular-power-supply/
Hey would the intel i7 13700 cpu work fine with this build? It shouldn’t heat up anymore then the an i5 at 65watt as well right? Thanksss
I've no experience with that CPU, but with enough power limiting, anything can work. Especially for gaming.
Just ordered mine before is out of stock
Is it possible to use somehow 2 3,5 hdd instead of GPU?
Could you maybe drop a parts list? I can't find the video card or the cpu cooler
In the video description.
What are the lengths of the PSU cables?
can you add a link for your screwdriver set?
Do you know if the powercolor rx 5600 xt itx would fit in this case ?
Yes, this should work.
2.1 is a better case than 3.0 IMO. I'm so happy that this rare occasion of something I own has a new revision that is worse than the one I own.
Thanks for the response. What makes v2.1 better? Just curious.
@L91 Appearance wise, 2.1 is sleek and clean looking. The shiny front panel edge looks premium. The new black coating looks like bed liner paint imo.
Also 3.0 white text on the rear looks bad, especially upside in the "correct" orientation.
LED pushbutton is awesome for boards without any leds on them letting you know it is on.
And 2.1 is technically smaller, so can't beat that. If 3.0 was smaller I'd really consider an upgrade.
Also velka 3 is my dream case btw. Can't go wr9ng with the 3.0 either!
Great and best video yet for the smallest build. Do yo think a ryzen 9 7900X would do it in such small case factor? Any recommendations for the cooling if so? ...
is there and alternative riser cable lets say in black to fit the black theme
Velkase sells black 3.0 cable
Would you be bothered at all to find a way to cooler swap a 4070 and fit it in the Velka 3 ??
👎
What was the all core frequency during Cinebench?
Roughly 4.45GHz by the end of the 30-minute stability test.
@@L91 That's a pretty solid all core there. Very nice.
Lost roughly 1000 points in Cinebench R23 vs. likes of 280mm AIO
anyone have a link to the antennas? thanks!
Wouldnt it be better to downgrade the cpu to a 5800x3d or 7600 because of the heat? with lower heat and power consumption you can also replace psu fan. I did a similar build and used a silverstone 600w flex psu but the noise was pretty loud
I did mention that the system is best paired with R5 7600 or similar. Unfortunately, I don't have one. It's worth noting that the R5 7600 doesn't run cooler or draw any less power than 7800X3D. It's just better pairing value wise. The system shown is pretty quiet thanks to custom fan parameters.
@@L91 what about the psu fan?
@videosuu300 PSU fan is quieter than the rest of the system. It's only drawing around 200W and isn't heating up enough during gaming for the fan to need to ramp past wattage parameters. The ENP-7660B is relatively quiet PSU upto around 480W, unless the PSU is heating up to much, at which point it can become extremely loud at any wattage. SilverStone FX600 works exactly the same.
@@L91 I see, the fx600 was sueprloud when gaming, I had a 3060 and a i7 9th gen. Probably because of the consumption it was generating more heat
what are these wifi antena ref ?
ooooooff!! Can't they just make a rtx 4070 to fit in here!?!? That would be amazing
Not using the card in the thumbnail is a bit of a tease.
I think the card in the thumbnail was to show a size comparison.
Nice build. interested in selling it?
No sata, No PCIe 8 ez
Your audio is a little low
I built this exactly, with the side panels on it will overheat.
What's overheating exactly?
@L91 mainly the CPU but the GPU side gets hot as well. I double checked cpu paste and ramped up fan speeds. The holes in the side panels just don't allow enough heat to be pushed out. I got around this by cutting the panels in the shape of the fans. This is the second video I've found of this build where they have the PC running without the panels on for a reason.
@busteddonutface8796 what CPU and how do you know its overheating?
@L91 I'm actually using a Ryzen 5 7600x so not even as crazy as yours. I know it's overheating because I'm monitoring the Temps.
@@busteddonutface8796 you realise Zen4 CPUs are intentionally designed to push and run themselves at their thermal limit. For 7600X, it's 95°C. There's no way to know if it's overheating from looking at monitoring software
