So this is just a case and a motherboard and has no support for a GPU? And you going to use it for simple graphics?
An i3 NUC would be much more suitable than that and will end up cheaper and much more elegant.

Planing on using it with a 2400g with integrated vega 11. That is enough for all the indi games for a long time. Maybe even in 4k. So my goal is as much power as possible in a as small form faktor as possible. In that regard I think this will be hard to beat.

I think a Raspberry Pi should have been much faster, but also a bit more expensive.


Already have a pi. I want this for some retro gaming and indi gaming on windows.

Depending on total price, the Hades Canyon NUC variant comes with Vega M, which is considerably stronger than the 11.

Very nice. I‘d get one if I didnt have a mini itx case as an htpc already.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

@karmeck can u comment on the powerbricks heat, overclocking memory and i saw in another review the microphone in jack has a ton of isseus with db boost n stuff distorting at higher volumes.

im a bit worried about their powerrsupply being the brick in the powercable, that thing must get hot as fuck, also it requiring laptop memmory seems rather silly , they could have made it a few cm bigger to fit the cheaper normal ram , especialy as ryzen needs fast ram, but im totaly loving the idea of gaming without a videocard, the sweet cheap silence !

cant wait for ddr5 and next ryzen , that should hit medium to high settings on full hd im thinking! Unless they deliberatly nerf their igpus cause it would cut into their budget card segment Sad

Just saw this. Have evrything setup now and will try later. Don't know if I have a mic at home though, or maybe, I know I have the Zaman mic somewhere.

Do not think the brick got all to hot. Will feel it again after longer sessions.

Sorry for what I typed above, I was ignorant about AMD hardware. Smile

I read on Amazon that many of these arrive DOA. Neutral Otherwise pretty cute, and certainly better/smaller build than an ITX if you don't need a GPU. Throw a Noctua fan in there, and you can overclock the CPU quite well.

M.2 -> PCIe "riser"



You can then, theoretically, connect a GPU. If that is too big, there are also PCIe -> MXM3 "risers", to connect MXM3 GPUs. You dawg...
