My mini 5090 PC build begins.

The 5090 has landed - it's time for a closer look.

unintended upside: modular PCI-E connector means breaking it might not be the death of the card. Someone someday is gonna be overjoyed to discover that.

God, over 1.2 Million Subscribers. I remember back when I followed you years ago where you only had a few thousand. Back then I was getting into SFF builds and you where one of the only Youtubers out there making that content. You are one of the few tech youtubers that don't just create high quality content but actually create stuff your own. Congrats on your success. I hope you get many more subscribers ;)

This channel has single-handedly made me want to build an ITX form factor PC, I love cramming all this performance into such a tiny case

[scythe]

The founders 5090 needs reverse flow fans for small form factor builds that use a sandwich layout. Heat from the card would then be blown directly out of the case instead of heating up other components in the build.

your current 4090 pc is my favorite pc build i've ever seen on youtube, im so excited to see what you come up with next

1:03 - As per Nvidia's listed specs, the 5070 FE has a smaller cooler than the 5080 & 5090 FE. It has the same style and proportions. But its absolute dimensions are smaller (24.2 cm x 11.2 cm for the 5070 FE vs. 30.4 cm x 13.7 cm for the 5080 & 5090 FE, with both occupying 2 slots).

Big fan of the ultrawide video with a pure black background on the cam and white desk. Looks great on an OLED phone

This is exactly what an enthusiast pc builder should do - 3d printer is a key tool nowadays.

Hi Optimum,
I ve built nearly the same PC and i would never have made it without your template.
Added a few improvements here and there but in general im also 100% happy with the final result.
I know how mutch time it cost to do it and without your prepatory work it would take me maybe 100 hours more.
So thank you for the video-series about your T1 PC.
Best PC I ve ever had in my life.

I literally just completed your 4080 super build yesterday and it was the first time i’ve ever built a computer. i was a little overwhelmed at times but it was a fantastic learning experience and i can see me using this case for years to come

[JBC_]

I am a big case/big airflow guy, but I have mad respect for folks who can do amazing small builds like this. Great stuff!

The most unique PC/tech channel around who actually thinks outside the (usual PC) box.

So many YouTubers with 90% of their content being rumors and speculation these days.

[dramgon]

it's so cool seeing optimum over the years learning and using autocad programs, i use it myself daily for work but nothing beats cad when it comes to hobby use with no restrictions

[MrAnimescrazy]

I can't wait to see the 5090 vs the 4090 in raster, dlss, raytracing benchmarks.

[JohnK]

The problem solving and ingenuity in pc building to pack maximum performance into minimum form factor is unmatched, as always. Love the content and can’t wait to see the build come to life 👌🏻

[Medievalguy]

Will you share any printable files? I've also got this case and a 3D printer and want to do exactly what you're showing here. Would be cool to see more videos on your process building this exhaust system!

0:03 I thought he was spray painting it for a sec.

[Glizzy_Bear]

The ducting is a tremendous idea. I'd love to see you take a stab at a custom version of the cooling solution in the Meshless AIO case, where the cpu and gpu were in completely separate chambers that both vented into one long squirrel cage fan. Instead of a duct that leads down to two conventional fans venting out of the bottom, you could instead send the hot air to a narrower squirrel cage fan that vents air out of the side of the case. I take it this duct design is already locked in by now but I'd love to see what this might look like, and I haven't really got the means right now. Looking forward to the benchmarks.

[javski]

Its darker and minimalist aesthetic matches the kind of most of your builds, so i think it looks so nice.

[omergulcu]

So excited to see the vent! Massive respect for always coming up with unique, useful and clean projects.
