Review: Good CPU, working well in gaming - In general - all mentioned in this review products are as described and working as described. Almost all deserve 5 stars (commented if one or more stars are taken off). Instead of reviewing item by item I decided to write one review for all products used for one specific PC build. The purpose of this PC build - fancy compact gaming system. Items used in this build: -- Item 1) OCPC Mini ITX Case, Hydra Italy Mini ITX PC Case, desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0BK6D77DG/ Very good case – compact, cool looking and efficient. The black color is the only variant I found on desertcart. With only cooling from top-down CPU cooler, the i7-13700K based system passed the stress test very well. Riser cable is not included – actually the riser cable for GPU orientation as shown on desertcart item photo does not exist. In order to build the system as shown, I bought a flexible riser cable (Item #2) and twisted it to 180°. Another simpler solution is to install GPU upside down as presented by other reviewers on desertcart. -- Item 2) EZDIY-FAB PCIE 4.0 16x Extreme High Speed Flexible Riser Cable PCI Express Port GPU Extension Card-Dual Reverse Connector for ITX [21cm]. desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B09S5DW3RX/ -Does the job - exactly what I need for the project. Note: During system build I have to remove the bracket from the cable male connector and install it back after passing cable through the case hole. -- Item 3) Power supply: Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold Full Modular, 750W, desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B08LP7B7FM/ - Works as supposed to. PSU had a noticeable burning smell for about 5 days, considering this is normal for a new PSU. If you want to build more powerful gaming system, I recommend the PCIe 5.0 ready 850W SFX PSU, something like ARESGAME GL850 https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0CHDS4J33/ SFX-L PSU will work in Hydra Mini as well, but cable management will be tougher. -- Item 4) CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K, desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0BCF57FL5/ - Good CPU, working well in gaming. -- Item 5) Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B760-I Gaming WiFi, desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0BR8TVLPL/ - Working as described, nice looking MB. Thank you, ASUS - now ROG motherboards have the Memtest86+ built in BIOS. This very helpful feature allows PC builders to check memory before operating system installation and prevent blue screens and failures during OS install and system use in case of defective memory. In my case originally ordered CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6400MHz (desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0C1R95SPW/) was defective. Both memory modules came to life and showed ok in BIOS but Memtest86+ got errors. I did test modules one by one in the same memory slot and found out that one of the modules is the cause of the failures. Returned the defective memory and bought another from a different brand (Item #6). ASUS ROG Motherboard chosen for the look. In my opinion the best Intel (or may be overall) mini ITX MB on the market is MSI MPG Z790I Edge WiFi Gaming Motherboard (desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0BHCJ6KQ2/ ) I own one and have a very best experience. -- Item 6) Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 Ram 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz, desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0BNTV1945/ -Very good product, works as described, nice looking, recognized by Aura Sync. -- Item 7) Graphics Card: MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0CCFZMHSM/ - Graphics card work as supposed to, have low power consumption. This GPU was chosen for the look only. Anyway, the presented system can play all modern games well at 1440p. But if you want the very good gaming experience, I will recommend at least RTX 4070 Ti like MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ventus 2X 12G OC. And the very best (talking about built on Hydra Italy Mini Case) will be the system with 850W PCIe 5.0 SFX PSU and: a) MSI MPG Z790I Edge WiFi Gaming Motherboard, desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0BHCJ6KQ2/ b) Intel Core i9-13900KF, https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B0BCFM3CJ4/ c) ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX™ 4080 16GB OC, ( desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B0C75J66C8/).

Mounting for regular size 120mm fan included. Easy installation - just install radiator 1st and mount fan after. ID-COOLING IS-67-XT chosen because of black color. In my opinion DeepCool AN600 Low Profile CPU Cooler (desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B0C4P8ZPWT/) has a little bit better cooling performance (I have one in a very compact Flex ATX build). -- Item 11) EZDIY-FAB Moonlight 120mm RGB PWM Case Fan, desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B07X8T79QY/ Good, quiet and nice-looking fan.

If you want to build a similar system with a similar look, I recommend Cooler Master MF120 Halo² Fan Duo-Ring ARGB (desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0BWKZGYXJ/). This fan has a similar look but has better airflow / air pressure. --- Item 12) 24 Pin RGB Cable Extension Kit (used ARGB strip only), desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B07WN4G7KC/ - The power cable connector to MB too tight - did not go all the way down, afraid to broke the MB if try to apply more force (the regular PSU cable fits perfect). Connector to PSU too tight as well, but was able to connect all the way down. Actually, in reality the system with this cable does not look good (too much RGB). Did use ARGB strip only for decoration purposes on the GPU side. -- Item 13) Thermal Paste: ARCTIC MX-6. Optional - I have a very good experience using this thermal paste brand and always using it for the builds (so thermal paste provided by ID-COOLING was not used). desertcart https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B09VDLH5M6/ ----------- Overall, I assume the goal is reached - the presented system can play recent games and look very cool (in my humble opinion).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two notes before buying
*by T***L on November 30, 2025*

Performance-wise, it’s a strong and consistent CPU. Paired with my GPU (5070 Ti), it delivers excellent results. In CS2, after dialing in the right game settings, I’m comfortably getting around 400–500 FPS—and I usually don’t see it drop below ~440. Two notes before buying: Give yourself extra PSU headroom. If your build “looks like” it could run on ~600W, I’d still go for at least 800W. The price difference is usually small, but it helps stability, performance, and future upgrades. I’m running it with a 1000W PSU. It runs hot. I’d recommend at least a 360mm AIO for cooling.
