Tiny cube build

[emilyadella]

what parts would you use if you were limited to 220watt maximum on 240watt psu?

This would be a mini itx build in a very tiny but well organized cube case that can fit a two slot up to 305mm gpu.

The case acts as the heatsink.

make your build in PC parts picker and send the link here so we can understand

Wait What!?

 

how do you intend to move the heat from a GPU and CPU to the case?

i didnt wanted to say that i may point him or her later after the list she or he may be a newbie

If he plans on only using 240 watts, the GPU is going to look something like this.

Heck, my computer with one of these and a Pentium 4 had a 340 watt power supply. I have no idea how you can think that a case is going to supply sufficient cooling. He'll probably end up with something along the lines of a 1050 passive cooled, or if he really needs a tiny GPU drop to something like a 730 or 750ti (eesh).

lol a 500 watt PSU is must he or she is new i think so ppl are used get overkill PSUs and he or she got an overdead PSU

which case are you talking about? this is a very important detail.

I didn't realize how tiny 1050ti's could be! Look how cute that is.

that looks shit even an EVGA or Zotac one mini card could be better

The point is, it's a 1050ti, and its tiny.

but itts shit

[emilyadella]

as note since everyone is guessing all over the place it is she.

2 not so new but it has been a while

the case I want to build in is the stream com DB4

The max psu they sell for this case is a 240watt so I was leaving 20watts of over head

it is mini itx compatible and features a pci-e 16x riser to mount the card behind the motherboard

as far as the cpu I was considering the low wattage intel Intel Core i5-4570T

I would like to have moderate gaming performance and was considering a 512gb m2 drive

i said make the build in PC parts picker and why an 4th gen cpu in 2017

[killer5247]

that case is shit

[Schakal_No1]

I already guessed you wanted that case. You can only use blower style GPUs in this one since there is no airflow at all in this. I'd not recommend using this as a gaming pc, this is meant to be a silent work pc.

[emilyadella]

The case may be consider by you to be shut but the point was for it to support a 35 watt cpu silently

[emilyadella]

as far as cpus I was not aware the 6600T came in 35watt variant

I located that now and would go with it I know it is 6th gen but I have yet to find a decent 7th gen process that will compete 

[emilyadella]

as far pc part picker the case is not on there

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Intel-Core-i-Prozessoren

the i7 goes all the way down to 15W

[emilyadella]

I would go i7 7700t then which is another 35watt variant however it is not on pc part pick either

My main concern with this build was to power a 35 watt cpu, mid range mini-itx cpu and gpu that could run games in the line of metro last light in 1080p at about 45fps while not melting anything. within the 240 watt maximum

but why the hassle to get this case if you want to game? If you want to use a gpu in this case you have to create airflow which will completely destroy the reason it is built this way, which is to have no airflow and therefore no noise.

[emilyadella]

It is more about size than noise is why this case, I have yet to find an active cooled case this small

[emilyadella]

It is a lot bigger and uglier is the problem if I was going to build something close to that size I would build in the Dan case A4 sff

because then I would not have near the limitations

that sounds a lot more reasonable for a gaming build.

[emilyadella]

I did find a wattage list the internals on this would like this though I do know if if a 1050ti would run metro at 45fps

part list if I was doing this build gpu is passively cooled

no this is not ok - you cannot use a passive cooled gpu in a case without airflow.

[emilyadella]

Well I am thinking dan case then as quite as possible but cooling optimize
