3500X-3060Mini-BFBOUGHTFROMLUKE

Howdy all, another early Black Friday deal and very similar to the previous deal in which we're using dual fan versions, but with an important difference. We got offered MSI Aero ITX RTX 3060s at a good price and we already have Gainward Pegasus RTX 3060s on hand, so we've teed up a $100 cheaper version using these cards and the Leaper Air Mini compact case. Specify your GPU brand preference in the Notes field during checkout, if you have one.

No order queue at the time of posting so 3-5 business days (Gainward cards on hand, MSI cards incoming). Check website for current queue times if reading this some time after posting.

Ryzen 5 3500X RTX 3060 Mini LHR Gaming PC: $1348 after 3500X-3060Mini-BF

  • RTX 3060 12GB LHR Mini [Gainward Pegasus or MSI Aero, specify preference at checkout if you have one]

      Hey Luke! Even though someone told me not to buy from you coughPagaillecough, any chance you will be selling the MSI 3060’s?

    Do you offer ‘non assembled’ as an option? I like this but I would like to build it myself.

      Not on the site but please add a note and it should be fine. Customer service will tell you if it’s not before it gets built.

    • ATangk on 09/11/2021 - 14:37

      I believe they do ship the parts separately but there isn't the same warranty for the system as if it was pre-built. This would be good if you want to swap some parts out for others you might already have, etc.

  • Meulsie on 09/11/2021 - 15:39

    As someone that's not super across this stuff, wondering if anyone can give their input on the following:

    1) Is the stock case worth upgrading for $75 to the MAG Forge 100R? I couldn't care for RGB, in fact I hate it.

    2) I'll be using wifi, worth the $239 upgrade to X570 with wifi on the mobo or better off sticking with a USB wifi adaptor?

    3) $59 upgrade to 3600 worth it for the CPU?

    4) what's the deal with "mini" on the GPU?

    • zephrux on 09/11/2021 - 15:42
      +6

      1) Not too sure about the case, although the MSI case looks to be a higher quality + better airflow
      2) No, X570 with 3500X is generally very overkill, although the Biostar board in this build looks to be garbage tier too. Could be worth the upgrade to Gigabyte DS3H though. A USB/PCIE wifi adaptor would be better value.
      3) Yes
      4) Mini generally refers to 1-fan cards suitable for SFF/ITX builds. Due to 1 fan design, they generally run hotter, or louder to maintain the same temperature as a 2/3 fan card.

      • Meulsie on 09/11/2021 - 15:43

        Thanks, sorry I added a #4 too :D
        Edit: nvm

      • jamessong on 09/11/2021 - 17:26

        so a 2-fan cards will never be defined as Mini?

        • ATangk on 09/11/2021 - 18:04

          No, mini can sometimes be 2 fans, such as the 2080 case in the forum post. It depends on which card it is, if the model number is low it is likely to be 1 fan. If its higher end, it could just be a 2 fan with smaller fans to make a smaller package.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 09/11/2021 - 15:43
      +5

      My 4 cents:
      1) RGB can be disabled on both cases, by holding down the RGB button.
      2) You would need to upgrade the case to the Forge if you're planning on getting the X570 WiFi as they will be ATX sized and the Air Mini takes an MATX (smaller) board only. In terms of chipset, it's a fairly decent chunk of change to upgrade from B550 to an X570 when it's not really necessary for this build. A good quality USB WiFi adapter would probably suffice
      3) Yep
      4) As above, it's a 1-fan design. It is well suited to the smaller case originally offered and would be just fine in the Forge too. There will be minimal performance level difference in terms of temps at this tier.

      • lozzag123 on 09/11/2021 - 16:25

        Hey Luke, what am I missing in regards to the CPU upgrade? Seems like the two processors trade blows in terms of stats based on a quick google, why is it a clear yes? Thanks :)

        • zephrux on 09/11/2021 - 16:29
          +1

          The SMT (2 threads per core) allows for roughly a 30% improvement in CPU-bound tasks, while offering more consistent FPS & frametimes for gaming, especially for titles that effectively utilise higher core/thread count CPUs

    • sssboi on 13/11/2021 - 12:01

      a PCIE wifi adapter would work as an alternative, I assume this mobo has extra PCIE slots for a wifi card?

      • daffyd on 14/11/2021 - 13:55

        Allegedly pci-e WiFi adaptor won't fit due to the thickness of the GPU (unless you upgrade to ATX motherboard and case, in which case you can just get the wifi motherboard - pricing for these isn't great value given the price of the overall system)

  • nephilim on 09/11/2021 - 15:56

    Only real neg is having to pay a extra $200 for a mobo with wifi

    • LR169 on 09/11/2021 - 16:24

      buy a $10 wifi card ez

  • Lukas on 09/11/2021 - 16:25

    What’s the fan noise like in a budget build like this (case fans, gpu and cpu)?

    The last PC build I did had sound deadening and noctua fans throughout, so I’m likely a bit sensitive to it.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 09/11/2021 - 18:17
      +1

      Pardon?

      The case fans spin at a constant speed and the GPU being one fan won't be loud. Temps under load won't get crazy so CPU fan shouldn't go nuts. Overall I'd say it's pretty quiet, but it won't be silent.

      • Lukas on 12/11/2021 - 15:13

        No worries, thanks for the response Luke. Are the exterior dimensions for the Leaper Air Mini RGB [M-ATX] Case posted anywhere? Couldn't find it on the site or google.

          • Lukas on 17/11/2021 - 16:51

            @luketechfast: Thanks Luke, any chance of an RTX 3060 TI or 3070 build appearing in this compact case?

            • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 17/11/2021 - 18:10
              +1

              @Lukas: Smaller dual fan cards like 3060 Ti Gainward Ghost fit, but no three fans do, and there are no smaller 3070 cards that I've seen. But supply of 3060 Ti is fairly poor at the moment.

  • Fastjam on 09/11/2021 - 16:32

    Hi all, is this worth it to play BF, Cod, Wot and B4B?what graphics/fps would you expect to get from this rig and is it good value?

      It will be great for all those things at 1080p max settings, and even 1440p medium settings. So yeah… it would play all those games.

    We just received our 3070Ti machine today (fcken idiot delivery guys dropped it off at 630am and didn't knock or ring the bell, lucky it wasn't stolen when we noticed the package at 9am).

    Very happy so far however the case is a little too small and won't fit the additional HDDs we have. Not the suppliers issue of course!

    First time customer and would definitely recommend!

    • XiTaU on 09/11/2021 - 21:10

      • SnoopX on 09/11/2021 - 22:23

        Sorry for the dumb question but what's the mag forge? The box came with 2 HDD slots and not enough power to install other drives.

    • SnoopX on 09/11/2021 - 22:16

      I spoke too soon :( Can't get dual monitors working. Seems perhaps the onboard HDMI is disabled and can't figure our how to turn it on in the IO settings of the motherboard. Have contacted support.

        Both monitors will need to be connected to the GPU as the CPU doesn’t have integrated graphics.

  • JamesB9 on 10/11/2021 - 17:02

    Here's my experience. I bought one of the last deals from TechFast. With the 3600 CPU and 3060 (full size) GPU for approx $1500 + postage.

    I can't really fault TechFast overall. Although I paid $55~ for postage and the package was sent with regular AusPost, which took > 3 weeks to arrive from Adelaide to Melbourne. Then when it did arrive the GPU was defective, and I am now in the process of getting it swapped out.

    However Caleb from the TechFast support team has been extremely responsive throughout the process, including following up with AusPost to investigate the delay and in helping to diagnose the defective GPU. They paid for return postage for the GPU and will send me a new one via express post as soon as the defective one lands back with them in Adelaide.

    The PC (now running with my old GTX970) is fast and looks nice with the glass panel case.

    Overall a frustrating process, but I can't really blame TechFast for much of it.
