description for more details excellent what's up guys welcome to my monthly build video series I am testing this build today the Mini ITX build that I did recently in the Corsair 3 ADT this was a $1700 ish semi portable gaming and video editing build that I made largely due to random decisions that I made about what I thought I wanted and perhaps less about what you guys might want but more on that in just a second this system features four SSDs an i7 6700 K as well as a gtx 1070 from Galax so it's made for gaming as well as video editing and all of it of course in the practically unobtainable Corsair 380 t case a discovery that I made a little bit too late to go back on what I was doing in this video but never mind I still had fun so let's do the right thing first and start with the negatives like pulling off a band-aid it's going to be quick and painful so what I didn't like about this build after testing and using it for a while was first the Galax 1070 RGB LED lighting control just wasn't quite up to what I was hoping for the software itself was functional but the LED options on the card are limited by the always-on red LEDs that are on the fans with the white case fan that I have on the 3dt I had pretty much three color combinations available I nicknamed them Patriot you and of course my favorite tequila sunrise anyway the software has a color wheel and a few basic effects it gets the job done but my main disappointment was finding out the fan LEDs or static red and you can't turn them off either even though you can turn off the backplate LED so you're matching LED color options are very limited which is a shame there was some mild coil wine from the GPU under load but nothing too terrible and then a couple negatives when it comes to the case two of them actually and they're pretty substantial the availability and the size now I will admit that I always kind of liked the 380 T it has a unique design have a thing for cases with handles at least mini-itx cases it launched back in 2014 but I actually never got to build in it it is end of life now Corsair is not making them anymore and their Web Store that I thought had them for sale just links to dead pages on web retail outlets and on eBay you can find them but they are ridiculously overpriced I also called this case semi portable you can carry it with the handle up on top but it's definitely too big to fly with as like a carry-on if you're going somewhere a little bit more remote so size-wise as many ATX cases go it is definitely on the much larger side so I completely admit this case choice was a bit odd but I still had fun building in it so there is that what I liked about this build and I'll keep this part simple is one that it's air-cooled and since this is intended to be a production machine I like to stay away from liquid cooling for that reason air coolers I think just do a good job and they can't have like a pump fail and stop working all of a sudden also good overclocking not great overclocking but definitely good overclocking I think thanks to the airflow that's available in the case as well it's just some higher quality components in their limited slightly by the motherboard but more on that in a minute and then it easily was able to handle gaming at 2560 by 1440 which i think is a good sweet spot for the 1070 and also video editing was a nice and smooth as well and even the rendering output times we're not bad for a poor core processor also easy to move around or relatively easy thanks again to that handle up on top now let's move on to some testing overclocking temperatures and noise to begin with the CPU overclock I hit was 4.4 gigahertz at 1.3 5 volts now this 67 ok I have in here I know can do 4.7 gigahertz stable but not with this motherboard as previously mentioned the z170 on Wi-Fi from gigabyte is not really an overclocking board the power delivery is just not up to snuff for that so I ran into some stability problems when I was testing the system back when I was working with it a few months ago and since 4.4 gigahertz was stable as I cried I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with that that's perfectly adequate for me the GP overclock was a little bit better I used galaxy's extreme tuner + software that covers the basics so you got some speed gauges on there there are a few conservative set one-click overclocks that you can engage there is voltage control and you got your typical sliders for GPU clock and all that good stuff also the settings there are some startup options and there is an in-game overlay can turn on to show frames per second and GP frequency and that kind of thing you can save and load a profile with the software but what is really missing is like a profile system so you can easily switch between the different settings that you can might save so you can have like a you know based on overclock one and then an overclock one and then a really overclock one but also the ability to key in values directly would be really welcome here you can only use the sliders which is just a little cumbersome and not very accurate so the GPU overclock out of the box since this is an overclocked card was fifteen ninety five megahertz base clock 1785 boost 1936 was the average I achieved under load while testing briefly without overclocking it further myself I then of course overclocked it further myself with the power and temperature sliders maxed out and then I set the fan speed to run at 60% all the time I did plus 126 on the GPU offset and plus 202 on the memory offset and that gave me a base clock of 1721 a boost of nineteen eleven it peaked at over 2100 megahertz but if you've used any of these Pascal cards you know that that is just a brief fleeting moment of glory and when the temperatures actually rise up it levels out to something a little bit more reasonable so about 2020 to 2030 seven megahertz was what this was running at under load hitting the top temperature that these cards are supposed to hit which is about 81 to 82 degrees Celsius as for temperatures overall since I just mentioned them the ambient temperature here in my garage is cooler since it is winter now 21 to 23 degrees Celsius CPU temperatures well overclocked at idle we're 21 to 25 degrees Celsius 68c while gaming 77c while stress testing which is a little bit high i think mainly due to the voltage but again since i was stable i didn't really mess with that too much GPU temperatures at idle were 50 degrees Celsius and that is with the fan off mode since the fans don't span unless the card actually has a load on it i hit 84 c max while I was doing some stress testing but after adjusting some things and ramping up the fan speed with my overclock I hit 70 C under moderate gaming load and then of course it was peaking it right about 8281 at which point the frequency would drop off and you know that's how GPU boost is supposed to work and now let's do some noise testing this is what the GPU fan said at 60% I was just running Union Valley on a loop and here's what it sounds like of course you get bonus points there if you can hear Hiro snoring in the background which he always does let's move into some actual game testing though I ran 3dmark as a synthetic test fire strike extreme hit 8650 one on the overall score 9370 7 on the graphics fire strike Ultra hit 4747 overall 4731 on the graphics and 3d mark time spy hit 6040 5 overall 6220 5 on the graphics and 5190 8 on the cpu GTA 5 and the rest of these tests at 2560 by 1440 by the way was 95 point 2 average frames per second so well above 60 and 6 a new test since I just recently got the game running at Ultra by the way in DirectX 12 mode at 2560 by 1440 graphics test hit 13 point 4 milliseconds average frame time that equates to about 74 to 75 frames per second and the 99th percentile result was 17 point 2 milliseconds the AI test which was more of a CPU test at an average turn time of 16 point 1 3 seconds finally overwatch 2560 by 1440 139 average frames per second just over watches a fun game so everyone go play it and then of course the productivity test since I will be using this for video editing and this is just testing with Adobe Premiere cs6 time timeline scrubbing and playback was pretty good on a 4k project 4k can get choppy at times depending on what you're using for the resolution playback but I found it to be adequate compared to the desktops that I use and then I did a 4k render for a project that's about 6 minutes and 15 seconds long the render time at 4k for 45 megabits per second was 15 minutes and 29 seconds a little bit more than twice the length of the project that is with some transitions and overlays and involved in the project as well and again perfectly adequate and what I would expect from a 6700 K at this frequency and so in conclusion I do once again wish those fan LEDs on the galaxy card were also RGB or just that they could be turned off I think that would be nice but the system is damn quiet and damn powerful I don't know if you've even noticed it's been out hopefully you've noticed the lights are on but it has been on this whole time can't really hear it very well and then I will say that that Galax gtx 1070 despite my quibble about the sex did hit a very nice overclock nothing crazy out of the ordinary but was nice and stable and again nice and quiet too so that's all for this video guys of course you can vote in some of the straw polls I have down below I'm just asking you guys for some feedback for how I do these monthly build
