Skytech Blaze4 Mini with RTX 4060: Worth It?
I’ve been eyeing the Skytech Gaming Blaze4 Mini with the RTX 4060 for a while now, mainly because of its compact size and promising specs. I recently saw some reviews online but couldn’t find much about real-world performance or potential issues in daily gaming or streaming setups.
After ordering one last week, I ran into a bit of a surprise. The system arrived quickly, but I noticed that the fans are quite loud during gaming sessions, and the temperatures seem higher than I expected for such a small case. I’ve tried adjusting fan curves and updating drivers, but nothing seems to drastically improve the noise or temps.
Has anyone here used this mini gaming PC with the RTX 4060? Should I expect better thermals or quieter operation? Or is the size just a compromise I need to accept? Would appreciate any insights or tips before I consider modifications or returns.

I have the Blaze4 Mini too. The noise is noticeable but not unbearable. I think it's normal for small cases with high-performance GPUs.

Did you try undervolting the GPU? That can sometimes reduce both temps and noise.

Emily, good point. I did some undervolting and it helped, but not drastically. Still loud during intense gaming.

I've read that some users replace the stock fans with quieter ones. Might be worth a shot if noise is a big concern.

The RTX 4060 is a great card, but in such a small case, thermal management is tough. I’d consider a different case if temps are an issue.
Chris, would you recommend a different mini case that handles heat better, or is the Blaze4 still a good choice overall?

For everyday gaming and streaming, does this system perform well? Or should I wait for more reviews?

In my experience, it handles most games smoothly, but keep an eye on temps if you push it hard. Also, check for BIOS updates that might improve thermal performance.

Thanks for all the tips! I might try undervolting and replacing fans before deciding on a return. Curious to see if others have improved temps or noise.
I've got the same setup and honestly, the temps are a bit high for my liking, but it's manageable with some custom fan profiles.
Mike, do you think adding extra case fans would help in this mini case? Or is it just too cramped?
