There’s also a cooling system that includes liquid metal, 7 heat pipes, and dual fans. And the chassis is made from a combination of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and resin. There will be a choice of 16 or 32GB DDR4 RAM and storage configurations up to 2TB m.2 NVMe SSD. They will also feature Thunderbolt 4 so you could connect an even faster eGPU if you really wanted to. What we like about the Minisforum NUCXi5 & NUCXi7? Without a large, bulky tower taking up space on your desk. You will naturally have more room for other peripherals, or will just have a cleaner desk overall. It also means you are not as constrained by space limitations (i.e., if you have what is essentially a small closet’s worth of space, it’s not a problem with a gaming mini pc). If you want to play games, then the bare minimum would be this very well priced Beelink SER6. It is lower in cost than the SEI12 PRO i7 and outperforms it in all the gaming tests. It is a great entry level gaming mini PC!
Conversely however, a high-end PC in the current market is a difficult thing to put together. Primarily due to the heavy premium being charged for dedicated graphics cards. So if you’re going to commit to a gaming PC (instead of waiting), why not “trim the fat” and opt for a mini gaming PC? While PCs have been getting smaller in recent years, the trend for smaller gaming PCs has never seen anything quite like the HX90G. As one of the most compact gaming PCs ever made, this system offers a unique blend of design and performance. Minisforum introduced a new variant called HX99G in its Neptune portfolio today. It is an upgraded version of the first member, the HX90G (5900HX processor + RX6600M GPU), which was announced in May 2022 before going up for sale in September 2022. The Neptune HX99G looks practically identical to the HX90G. Measuring 205 x 203 x 69 mm (8.1" x 8" x 2.7"), both models feature 45 watts, 8-cores/16-threads graphics and the same laptop-class discrete GPU. However, it updates the Ryzen 9 5900HX with a faster Ryzen 9 6900HX and replaces the two DP ports with two speedier USB4 ports.When not gaming, you can expect better energy efficiency. As an office or media computer, this system consumes much less power. HX90G: Pros and Cons
The computer is powered by a 45-watt AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor, which is an 8-core, 16-thread mobile processor with a 45W default TDP and support for speeds up to 4.6 GHz. The HX90G also features an AMD Radeon RX 6600M mobile GPU, which is a 7nm chip with RDNA 2 graphics and 8GB of GDDR6 memory.The second advantage of a gaming mini PC, and one that is a little less obvious, is the savings you make in power consumption. You see, most mini PCs make use of mobile processors which, while slightly lower in raw power, are more power efficient than a regular PC. Both gaming mini PC’s support up to 64GB DDR5 RAM and 4TB NVMe SSD. There is also space for an internal 2.5″ HDD/SSD. In our tests we got a highest temperature of 41°C for both models, highest fan noise of 50dB and 52dB, and a peak power usage of 85.8W and 86.2W while running the Cinebench benchmark on a loop.
Weight is kept to a minimum thanks to the compact design. At only 1.4 kg, or just over three pounds, the HX90G is lighter than most gaming laptops. Additionally, with the same footprint as a Mac Mini, you can fit this computer on even the most crowded desk. Maintenance The MinisForum HX99G gaming Mini PC with AMD Ryzen processor is a compact yet powerful computing solution designed for gaming, content creation, and productivity tasks. It features the mighty AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, delivering unparalleled performance and seamless multitasking. The AMD Radeon RX 6600M GPU with 8GB of dedicated memory ensures smooth gameplay and stunning visuals for an immersive gaming experience. With support for up to 64GB of DDR5 dual-channel RAM and a 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe4.0 SSD, the HX99G Mini PC offers exceptional memory and storage capabilities for lightning-fast data access and ample space for your digital library.In our tests we got a highest temperature of 42°C, highest fan noise of 54dB and peak power usage of 68.7W while running the Cinebench benchmark on a loop. The hardware brands may vary from batch to batch. Please rest assured that they all meet Minisforum's standards and are all covered by the warranty. If you bought the barebones system, you’d need to add your own drive and install an operating system. If you bought a system with an OS already loaded, you must fill in the remaining slot with a second SSD. Power Consumption
It will support up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and up to 1TB NVMe SSD, with WiFI 6, Bluetooth 5.1 and the usual assortment of USB ports, HDMI and DisplayPorts. What we like about the Minisforum HX90G? Compared to regular gaming PCs however, the answer is often no. The trade-off in size one gains from a mini PC is offset by a limit in the performance of the components it can accommodate. However we are now seeing gaming mini PC’s with graphics cards inside of them such as a Nvidia GeForce 3070 which is comparable to a desktop PC.The HX90G has the latest body design with a capacity of just 2.8 liters. It has 7 heat pipes (for 3 CPUs and 4 GPUs) and two smart fans inside, liquid metal for both the processor and the graphics processor. The superior heat dissipation design allows the HX90G to have a relatively low noise level even at full load. In addition, the processor + GPU at 100% load consume 50 W and 100 W separately. It uses a 260 W power supply. According to the Minisforum, the Radeon RX 6650M can operate without losing 100% performance. Price data is not yet available, but release is expected soon.
