- It's been almost 10 years since Valve showed the world the Steam Machine. So what would an ultra clean steam machine look like in 2024?

We need more: the configuration, undervolting, software like playnite to havce everything in the same spot and more importantly, wake up by bluetooth using a controller.
Yup, this would be good for a follow-up video!
Literally this was my first thought. I’m in the process of trying different OS options, Linux distros vs Windows with Atlas and the one thing im trying to settle on is frontend and wake up with controller
@@niche_creation did you come to a conclusion?
@@niche_creationLook into Bazzite OS, should work beautifully…
@@lawlworthy9805 I have settled for Windows 11 with Atlas installed using Launchbox as the front end. Havnt setup controller to wake from sleep yet.
Neat build! I’d like to know how it handles some benchmarks and also the temps and fan noises at high load. I want to build one for myself.
+1 i also want to know please. thanks!
Built my HTPC in this case last year using a 7600X and an XFX RX 6950 XT (I had to mod the shell to fit it. Also had to remove the two case fans in the GPU well). It's running Arch Linux and using the same script SteamOS uses to boot directly into GameScope for big picture mode on system start so I get a full-fledged Console-like desktop for singleplayer and couch-coop 4K gaming.
How are your thermals on 6950XT in this case man? I gave up on trying to cram it in something smaller and just got SilverStone GD09B
@@Jmcinally94 def gets toasty up in the low 80s on full load with the case in vertical orientation. It'll be my QuakeCon LAN PC this year, so we'll see how it fairs in a hot and clustered environment this fall 😆
Wow. Beautiful build and case. Never seen this case before.
If I were to refer to anything relating to Steam Machines it would basically be the out of service office tiny mini micro PCs that pop up on eBay all the time. Something cheap enough to introduce someone to PC gaming and give them the opportunity to feel it out without wasting too much money.
I know for me and others, the main hate we all had for the Steam Machine was that they were priced too much new, were very weak, and everyone we knew interested in buying one would use their experience as ammunition on why PC gaming was inferior or too expensive for what it was.
Awesome video. I seriously love your content. You and OptimumTech are my goats.
Awesome video. I literally just bought this case. It arrives today!
Good timing! haha
Great video! Me and my fiance were looking at building something for the living room. This is a good start.
That's awesome. These low profile builds fit really well without blasting RGB everywhere.
It would look like a computer 😀
Awesome Vid 💯
Yea your production quality is top notch. Just watched your steam deck vs other handhelds video and I'm very impressed. You just earned another sub
I made almost an identical build concept last year. Same case but black, Ryzen 5 7600, Radeon 6600 (don't mind upscaling games on my TV), 980 Pro 2TB, etc. I installed ChimeraOS on it as it at least then seemed to be the best SteamOS like distro for HTPC use. Works like a charm. I have to sell it before it's worth nothing, but talk about a specific case use scenario machine. ChimeraOS was amazing too. FSR on everything machine wide if needed, individual settings for setups unncessary, etc. Great video.
Almost all build videos i've seen forget to mention what cables to plug, when and where, props to you for the great content
this need to be recommended, isn't it?
Cool build
I there just have one question what is the 7800x3d temps while gaming thanks
Can you do a follow up showing the OS you used? Is it steamOS or windows?
Sure, right now I've dual booted between Linux & Windows. I'll work on a follow up for the future.
It’s gonna be a hard time for the Linux part with a nvidia GPU… (nvidia is pretty lazy at updating their pilots for the « pinguin os » 😢).
Amd is a better choice if you want Linux distribution 👍 (actually: maybe in a near future Nvidia gonna wake up ˆˆ)
@@MrBananaX2000 I heard there are some distros like Bazzite that minimizes the problems around Nvidia and Linux... but in the end we still need to rely on Nvidia's good will around it, wich we already know isn't very good. It's possible? Yes. But the ideal would still have an AMD graphics card on the build.
Amazing build man. I'm building a very similar system for an upcoming video
oh hi neil
Love the T-shirt!
isnt there a new model of that cpu cooler one with 6 heatpipes?
What about temperatures and air flow?....I was intentioned to build a pc with this case, but I got so many warnings about it, at hte end I did an amazing total white build using the "fractal mini pop air" as case, of crz my build is not small and consolized like yours but I live in a very hot side of italy so for me its crucial to have a good airflow.
How did you connect it to the steam deck? A video explaining that would be helpful for me
steam remote play
look at that spotlight mount
More time was spent on the sponsor than talking about the OS you used, benchmarks, anything really relevant to the steam machine part.
Can’t wait till steam releases its own version of Tv gaming console. That would break the console gaming!
I did exact config except I went with the Ventus 2x because I’m looking at custom case to make the build smaller
I want a steam deck switch just to watch Nintendo have a meltdown. If the money I would pay for a fake campaign to see the fireworks.
Hey that's awesome. you're doing like valve or whatever intended: putting the machine in the living room. I don't get all the folks out there building "steam machines" or whatever and plugging kb+m into them. yikes

I'm curious, would the 4070 be strong enough for 4k gaming? Is there an recommendation for a similar form factor 4080?
VRAM wise, only 4070ti super and above pair with at least 16 GB VRAM. Any below that really not recommended for 4K gaming. And its better if you just wait for 5080/5090 only you decide which models is your next upgrade. For form factor wise, common 4080 and 4090 are pretty overkilled. Smaller form factor unless you look for new series like Asus ProArt/MSI Expert or some lowest tier 4080(s)/4090 models can have around 3 slots with reasonable length.
Even a 4090 struggle with 4k 60. if you want to be gaming with good fps you have to go 2560 by 1400/1600p
LOL no
Is there space for a SSD?
Do a second video with an AMD card and using either ChimeraOS or Bezzite as those are full steam deck OS for desktop PCs
Valve should use the Steam Deck popularity as the jumping stone for a REAL Steam Machine. The biggest drawbacks will still be the Linux drivers for the components, though. I bet AMD will be willing to work with Valve on this one.
Killer content and presentation
I thought nvidia didn’t work well for steam os?
i think nvidia made the compatibility easier
Great video. You're going far kid. See you when you hit the first million 🙏
I have recently built a mini itx in d19 pro (6 litres) and chose 7500f - awesome little cpu!
super quiet fan: i doubt it, I have the black one, its terrible, but nice build with great components
when did get it? the first version had a noisy fan. mine, the revision is quiet
@@megadeth8592 It came with the Ncore 100 Max, if it passes 40% load on PSU the fan ramps up but then never stops, even if almost no load is present
Fractal ridge is awesome, but a little too big for my taste. A smaller version of this for a low profile gpu would be awesome
what in the optimum tech
So around $1100 without a GPU...ouch
"alright for its value".......wut.....800 dollar gpu for playing at 1440p with dlss......ya no. thats awful value no matter how you slice it
needs chimeraos
You know most games now need more ram now so you build needs updated alot game now runing alot idk what would max be mite have to look for game that need more ram
Windows is better
