About this deal

This gamingmini PC ’sperformance is further bolstered by the respectable dual-channel SO-DIMM DDR4 RAM running at speeds of up to 3200mHz. There is also an M.2NVMePCIe 3.0 SSD to provide lightning-fast loading speeds for all your apps and games. The CPU is equipped with a large active heat sink and has liquid metal thermal paste to increase cooling performance. The cooler should work at around 30 dB under full load and only start up when the system reaches a certain temperature threshold. The chassis has ventilation slots on three sides (1 x top & 2 x sides) for heat dissipation. The entire chassis measures 195 x 190 x 60 mm and weighs 1220 grams. The maximum output is 119.7 W and is supplemented by a DC 19 V power supply unit. Hardware With our STH Mini PC series, we have videos as we have done for the Project TinyMiniMicro series. Here is the video for this one: The Minisforum EliteMini HX90 is a very powerful mini PC for everyday use. However, only selected games can be enjoyed without any problems with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX. You also have the bonus of it supporting two internal 2.5” drives and fast ethernet, so it is great as a NAS for media and storage as an example. I like the HX90 a lot, if you are looking for a high performance gaming mini pc, then look no further, MinisForum have done an amazing job! Gameplay and Emulator Footage

For that, we got 32GB of DDR4 memory, a 512GB SSD, a AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU, WiFi 6E, 2.5GbE networking, and even Windows 10 Pro that we were able to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro. More and more AMD Ryzen 5000H 'Cezanne' powered Mini PCs are entering the market segment, with the latest from MINISFORUM unveiling their Ryzen 9 5900HX powered EliteMini HX90 Mini PC. With the HX90, there is a high-end APU from AMD in a compact housing. More precisely, a Ryzen 9 5900HX is installed and thus an eight-core with 45 watt TDP is served, which ranks behind the Ryzen 9 5980HS and Ryzen 9 5980HX in terms of performance in the current portfolio of AMD's mobile Ryzen lineup. Design The scores are very impressive, with some of the best benchmark results we have seen for PassMark on a Mini PC. And not forgetting the highest on 3DMark for its hardware specification.

Each piece of hardware has passed a strict quality inspection and met the factory's standards before it is delivered to Minisforum. In addition, there is no difference in the warranty policies of these hardware suppliers.

The inside can be accessed easily by removing the four bottom screws. The base plate can then be removed with a bit of skill. If you want to replace or expand the working memory, for example, you have to remove the entire board including the cooling unit. This is fixed with another screw. We were very pleased with the Minisforum HX90G's low emissions values. The device is not only quiet, it is also economical and always has its temperatures under control. Our test unit displayed solid performance throughout our tests with no severe faults. Its system performance is on par with that of traditional desktop devices and its gaming performance is impressive, with the Minisforum HX90G giving comparison devices equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 a run for their money. The installed AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX belongs to the Cezanne series and is based on the Zen 3 architecture. The SoC offers 8 physical processing cores with a total of 16 threads (thanks to SMT), which particularly benefits multi-thread applications. The EliteMini HX90 can clearly outperform the recently tested Minisforum EliteMini HM90based on the AMD Ryzen 9 4900H. The difference between Zen 2 and Zen 3 becomes quite apparent here.There are no differences compared to the Minisforum HX90 in terms of SoC specifications. We tested the HX90G's SoC in automatic mode, with the SoC briefly reaching up to 54 watts. The long-term power limit is set at 45 watts. The SoC can be set to six different modes (10, 15, 25, 35, 45, 54 watts) to save electricity or further reduce the already low noise emissions. Powered by a cutting-edge AMDRyzen9 5900HX processor, the HX90 fully utilizes all eight-cores to their maximum potential, capable of running at up to frequencies of 4.6GHz. This, combined with the powerful integrated AMD Radeon Graphics suite, the HX90 is the bestmini PCfor gaming available on the market currently. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX belongs to the Cezanne series and is based on Zen3 architecture. The SoC offers 8 physical cores with a total of 16 threads (thanks to SMT). This is particularly beneficial for multi-thread applications. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX performs well, and the HX90G's overall performance is better than that of the HX90, equipped with the same SoC. For a more pronounced difference in CPU performance, the manufacturer could have used AMD's more recent Ryzen 9 6900HX SoC. Our performance rating has shown that this SoC is 10 percent above our system's SoC.The HX90G has another in-house opponent in the form of the Minisforum NUCXi7. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX has the Intel Core i7-11800H under very good control, but it cannot compete with the Intel Dragon Canyon NUC, based on the current Alder Lake generation. In numbers, this equates to a 12 percent difference in performance, which we would not consider noticeable in everyday use. In terms of noise, in the video we had the unit held up to the microphone so you can hear it. At idle and lower power it is quiet, bot silent. At 100W+ it gets quite a bit louder.” Small, powerful, upgradeable: The EliteMini HX90 is a Ryzen -based mini PC with high speed and lots of features. You can probably use it to play some games – after all, if portable gaming systems like the AYA Neo and GPD Win Max 2021 can be content with AMD's Radeon Vega integrated graphics, the HX90 should perform even better thanks to a much faster processor and more powerful GPU.
