When shopping for RAM, you’ll often see how it’s categorized by MHz. You’ll see things like DDR4 2600, 2800, 3000, and 3200. So what’s the difference, and does the speed of your RAM really matter in your next PC build?

Short answer, yes, but not as much as you think and probably not in the way you think. The majority of guides out there, this one included, will emphasize that the more important factor to pay attention to is how much RAM you have, and whether or not that’s enough for your computing needs.

When PCIe 4.0 was announced back in 2017, the marketing sounded great! Faster data transfer speeds should mean increased performance all over your system, right?

And yet, even in 2020, real-world testing just didn’t show a lot of benefits to current-gen builds of the time.

But it’s 2022 now, and we think it’s time for you to upgrade to PCIe 4.0 for your next build! Its one of the reasons we include a PCIe 4.0 riser card in our Y60 case.

There are many reasons to consider building a small form factor PC. Chief among which is how much space a smaller PC can save on your desk, and how much easier it would be to move than a traditional desktop.

Small PCs can be scary, though, especially if you’re a first-time builder, or if it’ll be your first time breaking away from larger rigs. Luckily, though, there are some easy guidelines you can follow throughout the building process that will make your life much easier, and that will hopefully result in a smooth build with little to no troubleshooting at the end.

How to Build a Small Form Factor PC in 2022

Would you purchase a smaller desktop that can travel over a super-light laptop? There might be more advantages than you think.

Portable PCs are great for gaming tournaments, mobile production projects, or even something that can travel from your school or office to home easily. There are plenty of advantages to having a light system like a laptop or tablet for some tasks, but in many cases, ITX systems and other small form factor builds can provide benefits that a laptop just can’t reach.
It’s important to consider what type of work you’ll be doing on your system, where you expect to take it, and how often. As always, your unique use case may vary, so do your research on portable PCs and look into what works best for you.

SFF PC vs. Laptop: Which Portable PC is Right for You?

Are you considering downsizing your PC? Building a small form factor PC from scratch? We'll show you how to select the best components. 

The benefits of owning a small form factor PC (like the REVOLT 3) are numerous. On top of just looking slick, they allow you more desk space, and moving a smaller PC around is much easier. These upsides go a long way in the right circumstance—if your desk space is already limited (dorm rooms and studio apartments, anyone?), and if you often visit LAN tournaments or parties, a smaller PC is a godsend. 

How to Choose the Best Components for Your Small Form Factor PC

Switching to a small form factor PC can seem very appealing to many computer building enthusiasts. Smaller PCs take up much less desk space, they’re easier to move, and likewise, they can be the overall improvement you need for designing your ideal office space. Building small form factor means switching to a motherboard style that you might not be used to, though—a mini ITX motherboard.

If you’re coming from the world of big PCs in full cases, a mini ITX board probably seems pretty foreign, and chances are, you might’ve heard some not-so-great things about them over the years, such as “they’re too weak to process big tasks like an ATX can!” Well, fortunately for you, most fears like that haven’t been true in a long while, as PC hardware technology has progressed quite a bit.

So if you’re ready to make the jump to reduce your computer’s desk real estate, there are some questions you’ll have to answer before switching to an ITX board that’ll make choosing one much simpler. Let’s dive in.

How to choose an ITX motherboard

Set aside your CPU and GPU spec lists for a second; your motherboard form factor is probably the most important decision you'll make when planning a PC build.

Motherboards are the Grand Central Station for all your hardware. The features and size of the board will inform what is possible in your next PC, so it's important to weigh your options and decide what is right for you and your needs.

There are three form factors that you will most commonly see when shopping for motherboards: ATX, Mini ATX, and Micro ITX. These motherboard sizes offer different advantages and disadvantages depending on what type of computer you want to build. This blog post will break down these motherboard form factor types so that you can make an informed decision about which one is best for your needs. HYTE's REVOLT 3 is an ITX case, and our Y60 Case is ATX so if you're looking to see if that form factor is right for you, keep reading!

ATX, Mini ATX, Micro ITX: Which Motherboard Form Factor is Right for You?

So you want to build your first ITX PC:
Maybe it was your desire to try something new, or maybe you're looking at someone's completed REVOLT 3 mini-battlestation online (and drooling over their performance specs, too). Whatever the reason, you're curious about ITX. 

There's plenty of tips for first-time builders out there who want to construct a PC that works hard, keeps cool, and can go wherever you do. But what should first-time builders expect? We've got answers to your frequently asked questions:
