Basically none of the sexy Bios features that I showed in its video did anything. I spent a couple days trying to get it to apply any of those settings to no avail. 😅

Easily The Verge's PC build because it was misleading with bad advice and didn't even run the RAM in dual channel mode. It also nearly ruined the presenter's life because he was given a ridiculous deadline to do the video in with almost no information, so sure he looked inept, but it was because of extremely poor editorial control and management. LinusTechTips actually did a co-op "re"-build with him and they talked about how much of a mess it was behind-the-scenes.

This was an amazingly timely video. I had completely forgotten about the Top Ton, and preordered an HX90 on the 1st, when their ship date still said mid-September. Well, after checking this video I checked for updates on the HX90... Now the ship dates are available in detail and my order won't ship until the end of October. So for $8 more than the HX90 config I preordered, I got the i9 variant (I value the cores a bit), and their sure to be slow RAM that I can swap out at my leisure.

I have watched many dozens of videos over the last two years regarding mini PCs for gaming. There are always compromises. In the end, all these videos convinced me to buy a pre-built from a boutique gaming company. It cost me a little bit more but I don’t have to deal with building a PC anymore. I gave that up 20 years ago. It now I have a PC sitting next to my television and I can outdo every mini PC I’v see so far.

I'm curious if you're able to install a different heatsink to the hx90 and still put it back together. I don't know the size specs of the stock heatsink and if it conforms to an available bracket layout. You can unlock in the bios to 54w and I'd imagine you'd need a little beefier HS to keep it from throttling constantly.

It's intended differently. It has a CPU mostly found in $1500-2500 laptops but does not have the dGPU, screen or battery. It has tons more ports than a laptop, room for three internal SSDs, and a hardwired 2.5GbE networking. It's more for workstation, media PC and/or home server usage. It's definitely not for everyone. Also right now, there's a lot riding on whether they got the manufacturing sorted out or will shipped product have the wrong thermal paste like the prototypes do.

What's odd, his temperatures are lower than some of the other reviews. Der8auer showed that if liquid metal was used as intended the temps would max out in the 70s instead of the low 90s. They have a premium cooler (twin-heatpipe polished nickel plated copper) designed for liquid metal, I think the assembly process just wasn't ready for it because installing liquid metal is far more involved than squeezing a paste tube. It's a rough position some idiot at Minisforum put this growing brand into....the HM80 and several others showed promise.

When I think of how much I paid for my Canyon Lake NUC w/ an I7-8705G & Vega 6 graphics (over $2000 CDN including 16GB memory and 1TB SSD), and I see prices in the $900 - $1000 range for these two units, I really want to cry. Now, I DID buy it as a HTPC, not a gaming PC, so I am still happy with the purchase (and it does OK playing Portal at 1080p), but in just over 2 years mini PC's have certainly improved AND plummeted in price. But mine DOES have programmable skull lighting on the case, so there's that. (of course I shut it off immediately after my intial "oooh")

I believe the newest NUC is amazing in its power and capabilites. It can take a 2 slot desktop graphics card and everything. Im pretty sure it is also very expensive and doesn't come with a graphics card at all, so good luck getting a 3060 or a slim 6700xt to put in there. By the time you are done with it, you will probably have spent $2500 to have a small desktop with worse thermals than a comparable mini itx computer.

Regarding the Topton mini pc. I got today the i7-9850H variant and it thermal throttling really fast (Like 5 seconds into AIDA64 stress test). You've mentioned in your video @0:23 that you've deleted system32 and it fixed your temps, But i Get the thermal throttling even on freshly installed windows 10. What do you meant by fixing your temps ? To what temps does your system get under stress ? It seems from BF V video footage that your 9750H gets to 87 degrees on 3.3ghz which is not very good and prob. throttled by the high temp.I think that the i5-9300H it's a more apropriate cpu for this mini pc casing and cooler structure, In order not to reach those temperature levels. On the other hand, You can use intel XTU the limit cores speed and undervolt and even if you stick to 9300H core speed, You still get 2/4 more core/threads for just extra 63$.

I really hope we get some updated low power small form factor gpus made with rdna2 or ampere. Maybe even intel will make one. I would love to see a mini pc with a 5900HX and one of those. It's been too long since we replaced the gtx 1650 as the most powerful.

@@attilathehun79 Could be many reasons, maybe making use of that extra chassis fan header or something. Maybe years later or in very rare cases where the shroud does get compromised, so you'd want to know if it can have an easy replacement. But mostly just for the sake of knowing out of curiosity.

Between the tear-down issue in this video, and the GN video with the plethora of issues (no LM, no Carbon Fibre, CL20 memory, security hex screws, etc.) I'm seriously convinced that Minisforum has a big QC issue on their hands. I've said since I first saw it, the HX90 shouldn't be marketed as a gaming machine... But, at least they don't lie about the stats on the release page... They are in line with the results GN and Dawid got.

Dawid for some insane reason pried on the board at the back of the case instead of at the front. You'll notice the front ports are on a ribbon cable, he could have lifted the board on that side much more easily. Instead he had to bend the back enough to clear the metal surrounding all those ports.
