The hardware is fitted into a compact device with good ventilation. The cooling system is well-dimensioned and allows the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HXand the AMD Radeon RX 6600Mto work without limitations, even under maximum load. The manufacturer has already proven the use of good cooling units in other devices. Some issues remain in the selection of available ports. While the number of ports is satisfactory, the HDMI and DisplayPort ports sadly only support 2160p at 60Hz. The missing card reader and support for Thunderbolt are less disappointing in view of the device category (gaming device) and are something we could live with. As always, we suggest opening this in its own YouTube tab, window, or app for a better viewing experience. The MinisForum HX90 is a high-performance mini PC that combines a futuristic, practical design and high performance into a sleek, miniature form factor.
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 have no choice but to like the color scheme from a purely visual point of view because there aren't any other color combinations offered. The market is simply too small for that. The Minisforum EliteMini HX90 doesn't look that bad in reality, though. Overall, we cannot discover any negative points of criticism in the looks and workmanship. The omission of piano lacquer, which some competitors use, prevents visibility of any micro scratches. Additionally, this ryzenmini pc features five USB 3.0 ports as well as a USB Type-C port for high-speed connectivity of devices. It also features a 2.5 Gigabit ethernet port for lag-free online games. Mass Effect runs at 60FPS at 1920×1080 with some graphics settings disabled. However by lowering the resolution to 1280×720 and have all the graphics enabled, you get a far improved graphics quality and solid 60 FPS. Those who want to buy the Minisforum EliteMini HX90 should know what performance the AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 offers and what can be expected. We cannot give an unqualified gaming recommendation due to the low iGPU performance. Perhaps, this will be different if we get to a see a configuration with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX. However, this is only a speculation at the moment. Need more storage? Have no fear, as the HX90 also supports not one, but TWO2.5 inchHDDs/SSDs of your choice with its built-in SATA III drive bays.
The MinisForum EliteMini HX90 finishes with a score of 4,012, with a standard rating. This means the game will play at high graphics settings with an overall solid performance. Benchmark Summary Overall this is about the price of a Project TinyMiniMicro node in this generation, but it is more readily available. One trades size and a better warranty/ support for a slightly better built-in feature set. Gamers who are looking for a light gaming machine will love this device, with the power of the Ryzen 9 chip offering a buttery smooth experience.Our review sample is equipped with 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. The device also comes with Windows 10 Professional, unless it is the barebone version. Everything is installed in a 195 x 190 x 60 mm compact case, which makes the Minisforum EliteMini HX90 slightly bigger than the MinisForum EliteMini HM90. Intel's NUC 10 is much more compact in terms of dimensions. 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 the Wi-Fi 6 card and 2500Mbps LAN networking, the HX90 is the perfect home game streaming console. Set this tiny machine next to your TV, connect controllers via Bluetooth and game away! Pricing and Conclusion Translation: if you want to do anything truly productive with this little toy be prepared to suffer with fan noise.
