SignalRGB is sponsoring a giveaway for a custom mini-ITX gaming PC that prioritizes memory capacity over traditional balance. The build, dubbed "RAM Machine," targets enthusiasts who want to see how far a compact system can push DDR5 speeds. This unusual configuration challenges standard building norms by dedicating most of its internal space to memory modules.
Custom mini-ITX build with 36 RAM sticks and RTX 5060 goes to Reddit commenter
The system relies on an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor paired with an Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics card. SignalRGB designed this compact rig to fit into a mini-ITX form factor while maintaining gaming performance. The hardware selection suggests a focus on high-speed data throughput rather than raw graphical power alone.
RAM Machine Specifications
- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 5
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 5060
- RAM: 32GB Patriot DDR5-8200 (36 sticks)
- Storage: 2TB Patriot SSD
- Form Factor: Mini-ITX
The most striking feature is the inclusion of 36 RAM sticks using 32GB Patriot DDR5-8200 modules. This massive memory array sits on a B860-I motherboard alongside a 2TB Patriot SSD. A 750-watt power supply provides energy for the dense component layout inside the small chassis.
The custom case likely costs more than the entire hardware build combined, according to initial reports. Tom's Hardware noted the setup is sufficient for 1080p gaming and could handle some 1440p titles. The total component cost exceeds $1,500, making it a premium experiment in compact computing.
Users can enter the giveaway through the r/PcBuild subreddit on Reddit. The contest is hosted by a community member known as u/DaKrazyKid. Winners will receive the fully assembled machine, which represents a unique approach to high-performance mini PCs.
