Ever since buying my Powerful i7-4770R Brix Pro

This little i7 4770R Gigabyte Brix Pro was one of the best PCs I ever had |  ResetEra

never again am I buying a little powerful mini PC. Hopefully yours is quiet.

Dude this thing is quieter than my room fan, and it's a beast, been playing VR games on it all day, it hasn't even sweat a bit.  Very very powerful. I think it's more powerful than my desktop for certain tasks.  I'm extremely happy with it so far. Last night, while I turned my desktop PC off and went to sleep in the silence of night, I still couldn't hear it. Not lie.

Seriously, it is dead silent!

Oh baby!

Did you ever cool it down? This silly CPU war between Intel and AMD has them overvolted insanely to the point where they hurt performance as they underclock when hitting 100C which is the new norm to win at benchmarks. I had to undervolt my 13900K to prevent from slowing down 500 mhz when getting hot. It now with .5 volts less can overclock and remain normal temps wise.

Undervolt your AMD and I bet it will run just as stable but much cooler

Ya the motherboard included a heat sink for it.

Man, Installed the January 2023 cumulative and between downloading and installing ... felt like only about 3 mins. It was crazy!

Most of the parts arrived yesterday, the power supply and motherboard will arrive today. Graphics card might be here tomorrow or Saturday. 

In the process of cleaning the case i'm going to be using as it hasn't been used in a while

In the meantime, I might throw my old GTX 770 in there just to get it up going so I can start installing stuff

Also removed the front door on the case for better airflow.

definitely should have gotten a new case as well...

looks good, not trying to knock it.

but a modern case would make a huge difference, so many good changes happened over the years.

It gets the job done and my temps look good. At the moment buying a new case would just be for the heck of it. I don’t even use the front io.

 

this is the setup the computer is powering.
