To put things into perspective, my HP laptop that I'm still using rocks a 4th core i5, 16gb of 1600mhz ddr3 ram. It maxes out at 65W all the time JUST TO PLAY THIS RUclips VIDEO. Ten years later these AMD APU can game comfortably at 15W or lower. Progress!!
what do you mean 4th core i5 bro?????? I did a quick google search and I found an Intel i5-4210U for less than 100 euro, those laptop are trash LOL (no offense) I pray money comes your way and you can afford a nice and new ryzen laptop 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@yorkyalmanzar8959 depends on what you expect. I want something very efficient and capable of running high speed memory. In that regard, the 8700G is very impressive. Idle is just 6-7W, which is incredible compared to chiplet Ryzens (I had a 5600X that consumed 30W just sitting at the desktop). And I dialed in some DDR5-8000, no sweat! Next plan is to delid, to drop up to 25C (according to der8auer).
I’d really love it if you did a video testing several of the tiny PC’s you’ve reviewed for VR gaming. I really want to ditch my bulky desktop and switch to one of these tiny APU powered desktops, but my gaming build must support VR gaming and I can’t seem to find many people talking about running VR off these tiny machines.
You can fit any standard 80mm fan on a Wraith Stealth / Spire. Even a standard 25mm tall fan will lower the overall height, but you can use thinner 15mm fan and reduce the height even further.

@@hiepbenh88 same, i bought 5950X and build custom water cooling rig, but i having random reboots twice a week cause it too hot =( i need $500 chiller or downgrade my CPU -_-
In my PC I have a i7 5960X from 2014-15, 8C/16T, 64GB of RAM and a GTX 1660 Super. While my GPU is faster than this iGPU, the CPU has less than half the single core performance and even lower multicore, than this APU. My computer is inside a small house PC case (which I like but it is huge). I still wouldn't go and compare my now close to ancient system with this new one. It's not just the size difference, it's the pure CPU performance difference in favor of this build, and the cost. When I bought the parts when they were new, the CPU alone was more expensive than this small PC with all its parts together. I am still glad I have this PC as I am now poor and can't afford to buy new parts, but it is quite interesting how far ahead we went the last few years. Of course nothing compared to the 90s when I was buying a new PC every 15 minutes just to stay relevant and able to play the latest Wing Commander game lol.
@@Bobenhaus Possibly. Nothing wrong with that. I would do it too if I had companies sending me products I could test. Few years ago, on my main channel, I had a company approach me to test their brand new type C usb hub. I had no type c computer at the time. Well...I still don't as I have the same PC lol. My point is, there is nothing wrong with what he does as long as he doesn't lie about the products. If there is one thing I don't like about what he does, is how in every video he asks the viewers input on any number of things and yet he never seems to reply to anything on any video. So...that sucks.
Your build is fine as long as it suits your needs. Try overclocking, it helped out my x58 setup a lot. I'm sure a GPU upgrade would make it perform a lot better in games. I use a 1660 super and it doesn't really hold up in 1440p sadly. Probably gonna wait for some big price drops in the future with the current cards.
@@micksterminator3 I don't do overclocking. Never have, never will. That's how I am. The 1660 Super is still tolerable, though yes obviously is not the top of the line to say the least. Having a 1440p monitor isn't very helpful either. I don't see me buying even a cheap GPU in the future, the whole being poor thing, but if you can do it certain do so. Funny thing is I find the system performance more problematic with video editing than with games. Anything over 1080p is troublesome at times. It doesn't help that I use an older version of Vegas (technically Vegas Studio 17, the last proper Studio based on Vegas), which has a tendency to crash when using the GPU for the workload. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

I have both a pc and ps5, and I use both, but saying that a pc with 780m (equal to 1650) Is better than ps5 (equal to 6700) straight-up ridiculous I'm sorry
Personally, I truly love the small form factor to fit on your desk, and looks super clean and nice. However, your right mid towers add for more growth and expansion to create a better system. Well done!!!
I have that case with a 5600G, it's a killer office PC setup. The included PSU is really the trick because building the equivalent with separate case and PSU would be way much more and much larger too.

I always bought medium to high end, high end, or really high end which would cost multiple of thousands of dollars for my PC. Recently i havent felt the urge to do that anymore and have been really wanting to build APU builds, and after seeing this video you have given me a great place to start.

@ETA PRIME I didn't fully get it in your video; Is the 200 Watts power delivery already shortening the full power of the components of this setup, or does the mainboard? You were saying in a normal, "full format" pc we could get better performance; is it really like that that those small factor mainboards can't handle a higher power delivery? Can you just explain it a bit more precisely to us? I mean, I'm already having a good desktop pc, but those mini PCs actually are really interesting and now with the new, way faster APUs start to make totally sense! Especially for Notebooks, to keep them light weight and power efficient, but still allowing proper gaming, it is just awesome! 😃😃😃 Might get one in the future myself! ☺️😉👌👍
True… I’m running cyberpunk 2077 on my M2 Max laptop through crossover with cxpatcher and at mostly max settings on 4k with upscaling on. I’m getting around 50-70 and that’s on an iGPU running non native. I can max out the settings at 4k upscaling with metal getting around 70-90fps on resident evil village and Re4 remake. I’ve seen some people getting just below a 4090 mobile GPU on some native run Mac games.
I'm really excited for these new AMD APUs. Whenever it's time to build a new rig, I'd love to do a more compact design. I've still got a good 3-4 years in my current setup so hopefully they'll be pushing 1440 by then.
@markmontes007 There's really only 2 cons for the 8600g "not sure about the 8700g". 1. It's 16 PCIe and only 4 lanes, meanwhile the last amd 7000 series were 24 PCIe and 5 lanes, down the road when you get a good new video card you'll prob want 24 PCIe. 2. Insane people who play AAA games 6 hours in a row say the 8600g gets really hot and possible game crashes. But that's their fault bc anybody with a sane logical brain would never game over 4 hours straight on a integrated graphics card Honestly I'm half tempted to get a 8600g right now bc I just play skyrim and emulators amd waiting on elder scrolls 6. Just go to RUclips and search "24 PCIe vs 16 PCIe" It's really personal choice and how much $ you have... hardcore gamers will scream you need 24 PCIe, and that's not true
The case he showed isn't even 3 liters@waitwhat1320 and you can add a 960 to that case you must be an eta prime alt account or just glazing really hard
@@danieldelillo You are right this makes no sense at all in a desktop form factor. The only advantage a desktop PC has over other form factors is performance. And here we have low end laptop performance in a desktop chassis. If someone is so concerned with desk space, they can build a proper PC with a dGPU in a slightly larger case (there are soooo many options nowadays). It would be 10x more useful and long lasting PC than this underpowered junk.
The build is about ~$1200 after tax and shipping in the US as of 2/24. For an all in one decent gamer, its actually reasonably priced, but wow has inflation taken its toll. This would have been much cheaper just a year ago.
Just finished my build with the 8700G and it was right at about $950. Used the asrock 650 itx board and the AO9 case from china was 40 bucks shipped. Seasonic 300 watt psu was $99 and id cooling is55 was $40
To any gamer consider this, please don't do this to yourself. Instead build a proper PC with a dedicated GPU. You'll thank me later. Videos like this is just a fun "what if" exercise and isn't meant to be recommendation for a mainstream consumer.
Got a pc with 3080 ti and recently got an Ally for travelling, but I've been playing mostly on it, im so.sutpirsed with it, if the future of gaming is integrated graphics , I'm on board, runs cheaper too 😅
Thank you for finally remembering these form factor cases lol I actually just got back my original ISK-110 custom build lol it was an a8-7600 with a 120mm cooler master low profile heatsink I had to mod the side mesh for and also had to use a 150w pico psu lol I also integrated a usb tv tuner and an Xbox 360 controller wireless receiver all built into the isk-110 lol before the first Bluetooth Xbox controller lol along with an SSD and a 2tb ;) lol it was one heck of a build back in the day and is now basically worthless because of the fm2+ platform even though it has one heck of a motherboard still lol
I'm hearing a lot of negativity about this chip based on how many PCI lanes are available. My expectation is that you'd get this and setup a machine that's good for a future upgrade with a decent graphics card. People have been implying that adding a higher power card later wouldn't work because you wouldn't have the bandwidth. Is that true or could you run a 4090 with this chip and not be missing out?
The 8 PCIe lanes matter when you're going past your VRAM limit and have to use system RAM. A computer restricted to 8 PCIe lanes on a 3070, while playing Hogwarts in 4K Ultra, is going to be slower than a regular 16PCIe lanes one. But. The stutters are still going to be there, in that scenario. The experience is still going to be bad, but it's going to be less bad on 16 lanes. The 4090 doesn't suffer from these problems. It never runs out of VRAM. There's no game that can push past 24Gb of VRAM. So ... in games, it will have the same performance.
Well, it's just not. 8700G performance isn''t even on Series S level, while the APU on its own costs like 50% more (feb 2, EU - Series S 512GB retails for 229EUR, 8700G retails for 354.90EUR in the same shop).
That indent on the left side is a misstep as that could be for cord control. Also the front USB and audio should be modular or honestly removed a a USB 3.1 hub can get the job done.
true back then most prob using either 570 or 1060 6gb, only kings has 1080ti was great time until raytracing introduced, fortunately have tried all 3 they were best in the era
You can only gain so much performance using the 780m igpu for the second generation in a row... Advertising at its best since the only stronger component over the 7900hs (although a mobile chip) is the cpu side of the APU
@@fredierensal9410 a large portion of people are but i think for tech reviews it's good to show the gameplay because it paints a better picture of what to expect
@@franciscogolden1 I am a visual learner also. Explaining something without visuals makes my brain go crazy. But i try to do the opposite now so i can be flexible. But for game benchmark it's true that showing actual gameplay is better so you can really see it in action.
@@tomkocur AMD has their next gen of APU’s coming out inside of a year called strixpoint and a Strix ‘halo’ tier with 16 CU or 40 CU depending on which chip you’re talking about. The 40 CU is for laptops and not handhelds so it might see some launch in a Minisforum style small pc.
@@alexmills1329 thank you for explanation! Mono doesn't seem like something you wouldn't be able to squeeze out of 8700G with some performance tuning and higher PPT limit. Halo, on the other hand, isn't something you'd be able to do on AM5. 40CUs, though, sound brutal - that's PS5 level, but newer architecture.
Your videos inspired me to do a Ryzen 7700 (not the X as the 3% loss isn’t worth the 75% more peak power draw) and 4060 build (over a 8700g). I’m just waiting on the case from AliExpress. Fantastic emulation machine but also 1080p ultra for the living room.
I want to see this with water-cooling, overclocking, & the fastest ram possible. I know someone just did 10,400 mhz ram with this chip, but they didn't release gaming benchmarks at that speed.
Better us the Ryzen 7940hs, as it is more efficient, has more single core power, the same iGPU. higher DDR5 bandwidth and a lower price. The 8700G seems to be no progress against 7940HS.
I love hybrid CPU and small factor PC, and 8000 ryzen gen is awesome. It happened! Cyberpunk 1080p mid preset and good FPS on APU. But isnt such builds already lost to mini-pc form factor?
The Amd fluid motion frames wont show on 3rd party FPS counter. You'll need to enable the AMD FPS counter to show the Real fps with AMD fluid motion frames. It is usually Double of what u're seeing it.
I do wonder what kind of GPU performance would be the equivalent of this APU. I also do wonder if it would be possible to use a dedicated low-end GPU that does not require additional power and if that would be faster. And of course - it is a matter of time for Minis Forum to release a new Mobo with this CPU/APU.
1650 is better than the igpu so somewhere betweek 1050 ti - 1650. The only problem with this apu is the cost of the platform you need a faster ram which is expensive. I think am4 like r5 5600x with rx6600 or rtx 3060 is a better choice.
I saw the reviews. This thing is garbage for gaming, but I love the idea of a small form factor overkill office computer. The thing I most want out of a home built office computer is longevity, and I'm betting I could get more of that out of this APU.
The fact that in 6 months the fastest iGPU went from the speed of a GTX 1650 to an RTX 3050 is absolutely insane. At this rate, we will be at RTX 3070/4060 Ti speed iGPUs by Core Ultra 300/Ryzen AI 400. Forcing Nvidia to release us a good 5070, or the sub $500 GPU market is gone. Especially if Intel gets their Arc 140V iGPU on Arrow Lake.
not too bad for a HTPC/Server that you can do light gaming on, either. And that chip's iGPu can still be useful even with an Nvidia dGPU in Linux. my 1080ti does not seem to like encoding in HVEC, which would make ALVR work well (on top of the frame boost from offloadng encoding)
I got this same mobo with my 7800x3d, i would love to run a small case like this, but got case a little bigger, that barely can fit a trinity 4080. might do another build using a case like this and use my current case as external gpu enclosure.

You were saying in a normal, "full format" pc we could get better performance; is it really like that that those small factor mainboards can't handle a higher power delivery?
Can you just explain it a bit more precisely to us?
I mean, I'm already having a good desktop pc, but those mini PCs actually are really interesting and now with the new, way faster APUs start to make totally sense! Especially for Notebooks, to keep them light weight and power efficient, but still allowing proper gaming, it is just awesome! 😃😃😃
Might get one in the future myself! ☺️😉👌👍
Cyberpunk 2077 running at 70+fps is amazing for an iGPU. Great work by AMD research team.
True… I’m running cyberpunk 2077 on my M2 Max laptop through crossover with cxpatcher and at mostly max settings on 4k with upscaling on.
I’m getting around 50-70 and that’s on an iGPU running non native. I can max out the settings at 4k upscaling with metal getting around 70-90fps on resident evil village and Re4 remake.
I’ve seen some people getting just below a 4090 mobile GPU on some native run Mac games.
@@GlobalWave1 which iGPU your laptop has
@@chaz-e on MEDIUM settings no less! Wow
I'm going to build this for my son and run bazitte - thanks for making this video (and other similar).
I'm really excited for these new AMD APUs. Whenever it's time to build a new rig, I'd love to do a more compact design. I've still got a good 3-4 years in my current setup so hopefully they'll be pushing 1440 by then.
3:19 I was startled thinking someone was knocking on my door lol
Love it. Excellent video, Uncle ETA.
This is my dream build. Its like a console! Aaaaaaa
APUs are the future!!!
Ryzen has come a long way from the 3000 series. Might have to go team red this year.
Are u in 2020?
AMD has been the best buy since ryzen 5000...
@@rodrigofilho19963000 series was better but for productivity
Who would have guessed ETA Prime has such lovely hands and wears red nail polish 💅
ETA Prime: Reviews products as an advertisements shows all the pros but never the cons or alternatives.
Wait you forgot about using all the most expensive and unnecessary parts😂
Good wholesome stuff without the ragebait other channels peddle for reaction clicks
What alternatives? The ryzen 5 8600g?
Intel has nothing competitive...
The cons are that it is an apu build...
@@gandalfthegreet May I know the cons? I'm contemplating on building a small form factor gamin pc myself. Thanks!
@markmontes007
There's really only 2 cons for the 8600g "not sure about the 8700g".
1. It's 16 PCIe and only 4 lanes, meanwhile the last amd 7000 series were 24 PCIe and 5 lanes, down the road when you get a good new video card you'll prob want 24 PCIe.
2. Insane people who play AAA games 6 hours in a row say the 8600g gets really hot and possible game crashes.
But that's their fault bc anybody with a sane logical brain would never game over 4 hours straight on a integrated graphics card
Honestly I'm half tempted to get a 8600g right now bc I just play skyrim and emulators amd waiting on elder scrolls 6.
Just go to RUclips and search "24 PCIe vs 16 PCIe"
It's really personal choice and how much $ you have... hardcore gamers will scream you need 24 PCIe, and that's not true
The Minisforum keyboard looks good.
Looking forward to seeing you try this processor with emulation.
about $1,000 system that matches a GTX 960 & I5-6600 from 2015 - and you will argue "this is so small!" but you can get a 960 and 6600 in sub 5 litres
The case he showed isn't even 3 liters@waitwhat1320 and you can add a 960 to that case you must be an eta prime alt account or just glazing really hard
Finally someone that understand the purpouse of the 8700G!
What exactly is that purpose? The GPU performance is way too similar to a mini-pc for it be meaningful IMO, but that's just me
@@danieldelillo You are right this makes no sense at all in a desktop form factor. The only advantage a desktop PC has over other form factors is performance. And here we have low end laptop performance in a desktop chassis. If someone is so concerned with desk space, they can build a proper PC with a dGPU in a slightly larger case (there are soooo many options nowadays). It would be 10x more useful and long lasting PC than this underpowered junk.
Hey many I was also very happy when the 8000 series processor came out
SAVING THIS BUILD
3:17 3:45 All those taps makes me think something is going on outside my room with my headphones on.
The build is about ~$1200 after tax and shipping in the US as of 2/24. For an all in one decent gamer, its actually reasonably priced, but wow has inflation taken its toll. This would have been much cheaper just a year ago.
does it make more sense to get a 7840hs + 32Gb 5600DDR5 + 1tb ssd at 700-900$ ish ? (minisforum UM790 Pro, Herk Orion Pro, or Beelink SER7 )
Just finished my build with the 8700G and it was right at about $950. Used the asrock 650 itx board and the AO9 case from china was 40 bucks shipped. Seasonic 300 watt psu was $99 and id cooling is55 was $40
To any gamer consider this, please don't do this to yourself. Instead build a proper PC with a dedicated GPU. You'll thank me later. Videos like this is just a fun "what if" exercise and isn't meant to be recommendation for a mainstream consumer.
Thank you for this 👏
This thing is a beast!
I would like to see a ChimeraOS video if possible
Yes please!!! Show us ChimeraOS running on that thing
Got a pc with 3080 ti and recently got an Ally for travelling, but I've been playing mostly on it, im so.sutpirsed with it, if the future of gaming is integrated graphics , I'm on board, runs cheaper too 😅
Such a cool little box. Chuck steam OS on it and it's basically a console.
Nice! Next challenge: an ITX SFF passive (or at least silent) build.
this was exactly the build i was planning to do
Feels like my i5 4570 SFF with a 1050 Ti gets better performance for 25% of the price and same form factor.
Thank you for finally remembering these form factor cases lol I actually just got back my original ISK-110 custom build lol it was an a8-7600 with a 120mm cooler master low profile heatsink I had to mod the side mesh for and also had to use a 150w pico psu lol I also integrated a usb tv tuner and an Xbox 360 controller wireless receiver all built into the isk-110 lol before the first Bluetooth Xbox controller lol along with an SSD and a 2tb ;) lol it was one heck of a build back in the day and is now basically worthless because of the fm2+ platform even though it has one heck of a motherboard still lol
this is amazing as a 1080 p person I would love to build this and its so small and i can carry it without breaking my back lol
that's a lot of performance for 100w. clearly this is the future, given the current trend of absolute juicers and heater/computing setups.
I'm hearing a lot of negativity about this chip based on how many PCI lanes are available. My expectation is that you'd get this and setup a machine that's good for a future upgrade with a decent graphics card. People have been implying that adding a higher power card later wouldn't work because you wouldn't have the bandwidth. Is that true or could you run a 4090 with this chip and not be missing out?
You don’t buy this and then a GPU. You buy a desktop CPU and a cheap GPU and upgrade later. You are limiting yourself w/ an APU
The 8 PCIe lanes matter when you're going past your VRAM limit and have to use system RAM.
A computer restricted to 8 PCIe lanes on a 3070, while playing Hogwarts in 4K Ultra, is going to be slower than a regular 16PCIe lanes one.
But. The stutters are still going to be there, in that scenario. The experience is still going to be bad, but it's going to be less bad on 16 lanes.
The 4090 doesn't suffer from these problems. It never runs out of VRAM. There's no game that can push past 24Gb of VRAM.
So ... in games, it will have the same performance.
Finally. Someone who answers the most important question. It runs Crysis.
The 8700g is basically same as 7840hs, so go directly buy a mini pc based on 7840hs maybe a better choice.
This is a true console killer, love this small form factor pc’s.
Well, it's just not. 8700G performance isn''t even on Series S level, while the APU on its own costs like 50% more (feb 2, EU - Series S 512GB retails for 229EUR, 8700G retails for 354.90EUR in the same shop).
no
That indent on the left side is a misstep as that could be for cord control. Also the front USB and audio should be modular or honestly removed a a USB 3.1 hub can get the job done.
I have to wonder if they do not have the memory scaling working properly on these chips ETA. Look how little VRam usage is being reported.
wish we had this case + the ability to throw a 120mm aio along with a pair of 80mm fans on the top
How about a side by side comparison between the 8700G SFF build and one of the tiny 7940HS systems?
they're getting faster than almost every PC that has specs older than 2019
true back then most prob using either 570 or 1060 6gb, only kings has 1080ti
was great time until raytracing introduced, fortunately have tried all 3 they were best in the era
The cost of such mini pc is outrageous.
Not blown away with the performance tbh, I was expecting more.
You can only gain so much performance using the 780m igpu for the second generation in a row... Advertising at its best since the only stronger component over the 7900hs (although a mobile chip) is the cpu side of the APU
I really love creators that actually show snips of gameplay instead of just boring graphs keep up the good work.
I feel like your a visual learner xD
@@fredierensal9410 a large portion of people are but i think for tech reviews it's good to show the gameplay because it paints a better picture of what to expect
@@franciscogolden1 I am a visual learner also. Explaining something without visuals makes my brain go crazy. But i try to do the opposite now so i can be flexible. But for game benchmark it's true that showing actual gameplay is better so you can really see it in action.
Man strix apu’s are going to be sick if this is the baseline they are improving upon.
Strix APUs? How exactly will that work?
Asus makes motherboards or GPUs, they don't make or improve APUs.
Am I missing something here?
@@tomkocur AMD has their next gen of APU’s coming out inside of a year called strixpoint and a Strix ‘halo’ tier with 16 CU or 40 CU depending on which chip you’re talking about. The 40 CU is for laptops and not handhelds so it might see some launch in a Minisforum style small pc.
@@alexmills1329 thank you for explanation! Mono doesn't seem like something you wouldn't be able to squeeze out of 8700G with some performance tuning and higher PPT limit.
Halo, on the other hand, isn't something you'd be able to do on AM5. 40CUs, though, sound brutal - that's PS5 level, but newer architecture.
This will be great when I goes on sale 😄
So sweet. Tnx for showing this. 👍
I'm gonna pick this chip this year!
Would love if you made a pcpartpicker list with these parts.
Your videos inspired me to do a Ryzen 7700 (not the X as the 3% loss isn’t worth the 75% more peak power draw) and 4060 build (over a 8700g). I’m just waiting on the case from AliExpress. Fantastic emulation machine but also 1080p ultra for the living room.
Is the 4060 low profile?
@@yanushkowalsky1402 they currently yes make two low profile 4060s.
Would be interesting to see some undervolt + gpu overclock and ram overclock to see what kind of performance is possible.
I want to see this with water-cooling, overclocking, & the fastest ram possible. I know someone just did 10,400 mhz ram with this chip, but they didn't release gaming benchmarks at that speed.
the prices included on the parts and some Blender LTS & newest builds tests would be cool too .. thx...
Prices change all the time and vary wildly based on region
Nice Video !! Can u tell me which parts u bought for that build ? I know u show them but a list would be better,to build it,too :)
I really want ur AMD logo wallpaper, where can I get it?
Tambem queria
Better us the Ryzen 7940hs, as it is more efficient, has more single core power, the same iGPU. higher DDR5 bandwidth and a lower price. The 8700G seems to be no progress against 7940HS.
I hope in next gen of APU for AMD , They will add Zen X C core and increase GPU performance in same level with RTX 3050
Hi , nice vid and build , i keep wandering what wallpaper is that ? I haven't been able to find it :)) Is it wallpaper engine ?
This is very tempting, but I am going to wait for the Halo Strix Point apu with 40 cu igpu.
I would love to see how it would perform as a home server
I love hybrid CPU and small factor PC, and 8000 ryzen gen is awesome. It happened! Cyberpunk 1080p mid preset and good FPS on APU. But isnt such builds already lost to mini-pc form factor?
That’s impressive!
The Amd fluid motion frames wont show on 3rd party FPS counter.
You'll need to enable the AMD FPS counter to show the Real fps with AMD fluid motion frames.
It is usually Double of what u're seeing it.
I do wonder what kind of GPU performance would be the equivalent of this APU. I also do wonder if it would be possible to use a dedicated low-end GPU that does not require additional power and if that would be faster. And of course - it is a matter of time for Minis Forum to release a new Mobo with this CPU/APU.
1650 is better than the igpu so somewhere betweek 1050 ti - 1650. The only problem with this apu is the cost of the platform you need a faster ram which is expensive. I think am4 like r5 5600x with rx6600 or rtx 3060 is a better choice.
It seems similiar in speed to my 2400g and 1050 ti set up.
Niiiiiiice i love to see it in 1L form factor like lenovo tiny thinkcentre
We have Minisforum UM790 Pro or UM780 Pro.
Your monitor is incredibly smooth. Im shocked
I saw the reviews. This thing is garbage for gaming, but I love the idea of a small form factor overkill office computer.
The thing I most want out of a home built office computer is longevity, and I'm betting I could get more of that out of this APU.
You were so waiting for this apu for your inwin Chopin. How did you manage to install the x53 on here? New bracket?
Almost three up when I heard the 200W psu. Please upgrade for way more performance
I've always loved this case but found it really sad that they don't have (as far as i know) a version with two slot GPU bracket :/
check the VRM and mobo vrm for ram are not overheating and cycling to throttle / then the gpu on cpu die will start ai improving EVERYTHING
Please test the 8200mhz ram kit with this apu
Please include "3dmark wildlife extreme" in your next benchmark.
The fact that in 6 months the fastest iGPU went from the speed of a GTX 1650 to an RTX 3050 is absolutely insane. At this rate, we will be at RTX 3070/4060 Ti speed iGPUs by Core Ultra 300/Ryzen AI 400. Forcing Nvidia to release us a good 5070, or the sub $500 GPU market is gone. Especially if Intel gets their Arc 140V iGPU on Arrow Lake.
not too bad for a HTPC/Server that you can do light gaming on, either. And that chip's iGPu can still be useful even with an Nvidia dGPU in Linux. my 1080ti does not seem to like encoding in HVEC, which would make ALVR work well (on top of the frame boost from offloadng encoding)
I got this same mobo with my 7800x3d, i would love to run a small case like this, but got case a little bigger, that barely can fit a trinity 4080. might do another build using a case like this and use my current case as external gpu enclosure.
