- So Yeah this little Ryzen 7 powered MIni PC needed a small graphics card upgrade so I added a Radeon RX 6900XT! The SER4 Is powered by an AMD Ryzen 4800U and backed by 32GB of ram the built in iGPU is okay but with this RDNA2 based 6900XT running over an M.2 slot this tiny machine can now run AAA games at 4K! the main question is what and all I can say is because we can.

back in the days we had to carry our 40 LB computer to the LAN parties. Now look how far tech came
now GPUs are bigger than PCs.
Right!!!
Yup, with a keyboard, mouse & sometimes a monitor.
Lol I used to play dungeon siege at the lan parties
Laptop.
I'm really here for the what you CAN do vs what you SHOULD do stuff. Good job!
You should try the same thing with the new AMD APU(6800u or 6800h). It has PCI-E 4.0 support which means the m.2(PCI-E 4x) will have the same bandwith capacity like the PCI-E 3.0 x8. The new ryzen mini PC is going to be a portable gaming beast.
But don't the new APU's have USB4? That should be plenty of bandwidth for an external GPU right? I don't really think you need anymore bandwidth than that.
@@deleted6052 USB4 is essentially thunderbolt 4, which is essentially thunderbolt 3, and that only provides the same theoretical bandwidth as pci gen 3 x4. Even worse, the actual bandwidth is even less than that because of some overhead with the thunderbolt controller.
What system is the video talking about? Android or Windows?
@@mingyi456 Well said. Which isn't as bad as it sounds. Most users won't be using a 6900XT with their 6000 APU and won't have a fps counter running 24/7 so they won't even notice anything different. Thunderbolt 3+ will also make it easier to dock and undock a mini PC from an eGPU. Hopefully we are all surprised that AMD exceeded thunderbolt 3+ specifications but I would just be happy to have some kind of docking feature.
@@mingyi456 I thought thunderbolt 4 was just an efficiency upgrade that got rid of the overhead.
I absolutely love your content, man. Big fan of mini PC’s. Keep it coming!
Didn't know this was possible with these mini PCs that I love. Thank you.
Despite the fact that the GPU is connecting through PCIE 4.0 4X it's amazing, we should expect some case manufacturers come in and produce some cases for this combination, like intel nuc.
always looking forward to your content ETA. all over the years. keep it going bro
Really clever cover spacing solution with the standoffs! I wouldn't have thought of that and probably would have dremeled out a slot for the ribbon cable. Using standoffs is a much more elegant, non-destructive method!
standoffs will probably help with temps as well.
@@fiddlemydiddle But dust tho
@@Whocareslol420 just sit the GPU behind the mini (as shown) and i dont think dust will settle on it with those fans going.
Great video, this setup looks so dam cool, looks better than any case and any rig sitting on a desk
Can't wait to see this on a extreme budget build. Omg that would be a game changer for best bang for the buck
Man, I can't wait for the reviews of Minisforum Elitemini B550. This is going to kill. Also would be great if you can test something with Rembrandt and an M.2 to PCIe 4.0 adapter.
Impressive! This is definitely the professional way of presentation.
Wow amazing I love watching this kind of set up
Holy cow now this machine SLAPS hard
Mine had a Ford Pinto with a small eight cylinder engine in it back in the late 1980s. This is definitely the same mentality. 😊
I can't figure out why this isn't a standard form factor yet. Close to the perfect setup.
Congrats on the runtime btw.
Sick! I love it!
this is epic video with a very smart solution and cheap.
This mini PC is a gaming powerhouse... when you pair it with a GPU that is 3 times the size in volume and cost...
lmao right? no way in hell that mini pc is worth it just build your own with a decent 1030 rtx and youll be gaming fine
He literally says himself it's overkill
@@user-zf6yb3ut6f bro the mini pc it self its hella cheap and its worth it
@@user-zf6yb3ut6fIf you’re starting from scratch no, but if you already have the mini PC, this seems like a cheap way to get extra performance out of it instead of building out another PC.
@ETAPrime, great video as always. Are you planning to get your hands on the upcoming Minisforum b550 mini pc? Saw that available for Pre-order with 4700G and 5700G cpu. The GPU box isn't available yet though.
Fascinating & impressive. In the back of my mind this will all be museum pieces when CPU's with integrated GPU become 'good enough' in the very near future.
Not for 4k 120hz, and when that happens we'll all be on 8k 240hz
@@markbernhardt6281 Respectfully, that demographic is a small percentage of users obsessed with bleeding edge for the sake of it. I happily game 1080p as do very many others.
@@markbernhardt6281 ججج
@@chrisg6091 By that metric we already met that with SoCs in Android phones and others from Apple. Phones though need a little more cooling for sustained performance.
a smart will never be a tractor.
Thats pretty cool. I was thinking of getting one squared monitor strickly for emulation since most retro games have that ratio. however, I would not see any further use for it's format since 1080p content has some limited space. Would it be worth it tho? a local store is having a sale on square 19inch IPS monitors.
Thank you for sharing. What an awesome idea to pair a small pc with that graphics card. Mini pcs always intrigue me but I don't learn enough about them. Thanks for sharing.
Dude! Super badass! Putting stuff together like this and making people aware is going to change the PC space! I think its so awesome! Would I want something exactly like this? Im not sure, but I would love a tiny super powerful PC in a similar vein. Super cool dude! Hopefully companies start putting things out that are actually made for this type of thing rather than jerry rigging it to work. Say goodbye to traditional consoles!
What system is the video talking about? Android or Windows?
Console exclusives like persona 5 royal will still be a thing though sad to say.
@@pingshanxu4137 windows and emulation most likely
This setup looks ridiculous....and I love it. I would figure out how to wall mount it if possible.
Yeah the larger card was a better idea. Makes the whole contraption look even more ridiculous. Love it. :-)
I am curious about how much performance is limited by the mini PC.
Bottleneck should be the PCIe connection speed.
.ج. ج. ج. ج. ج. ج.ة.ج.
the contraption is such a funny way to describe it
I really love this please do it with the GTR5 I'm sure it has an 2 m.2 slots with 5900hx
I think pairing it with a 6700xt (for 1440p) or 6600XT/6650XT (1080p) would be awesome and that shit really don't cost that much nowadays !
Awesome video. Put both of these in a single standard pc case and have a SLEEPER pc like no other :)
Great video! I enjoyed it thoroughly. Btw, Elden Ring has framerate issues on PC. I see it dip below 60 FPS pretty often. They are working on a fix for the problem.
This is Awesome!!! My laptop can't even do this
Recently got a Minisforum with a 5900hx cpu. No problems with a 4k screen. Don't really game but 1080p gaming would be fine.
Nice one..! Hey i wanna ask is this will be okay for long term gaming?
Great video. Exactly what I need to do. What's the name of piece of tech that connects to the mini PC to the graphics card?
I recently got the new beelink Ryzen9 7940hs it has 2-m.2 drive slots. If i wanted to run this setup you have, would i need to remove the current m.2 drive that runs the minipc? Or could it recognize the gpu with it installed on the 2nd m.2 slot?
Hi, I don't know if you answer questions but between MinisForum and Beelink, which one do you like the most? I'm trying to decide between MinisForum EliteMini HM90 and Beelink SER4.
that was a fun project. Makes me wonder if there a smaller desktop setup out there possible? Ncase maybe?
Thanks, this s very interesting. I am looking at something small to put on my deck for gaming twice a week, this can be some solution to this. Ia there any other option with a small footprint?
I want this for wearable VR in a backpack with Wi-Fi and a battery. This could be the solution I have been looking for. With a portable Wi-Fi hotspot this could make a truly play anywhere VR solution.
Wait what?
So basically were sacrificing the SSD to mount the externel GPU? Am I correct?
How do you have the power supply turned on? Do you have the pins jumped on the main connector?
Hey ETA have you checked Radxa upcoming SBC with the RK3588 SoC (4xA76 + 4xA55 cores), its pretty powerful and they were running 50$ off on pre-orders (i think it ended on March 31st)?
A great build
Are you able to share the link for that wallpaper? It looks awesome!
thank you for doing all the dumb stuff I wanna do but can't afford to do
i wonder if the pcie gen4 provided by the newer ryzen 5xxx/6xxx could add more bandwidth to this kind of setup? it amazing to see a pc where the gpu is so much larger than the whole cpu and psu combined ^_^ they might as well create a gpu with cpu and psu all in one in a single small enclosure. oh wait there's dragon canyon hahaha
fantastic demo, contemplating between a prebuilt dell pc or a mini pc. You didnt put the link to the egpu adt link thingy in the description though.
Will the M2 connection still be faster, for eGPUs, than USB 4.0? I'm asking because a cursory review of the USB 4.0 specs seems to imply that it will rely on Thunderbolt 3 protocols for eGPU.
What’s that cool looking little keyboard I keep seeing in your vids?
you don't recommend it but you keep doing it and its awesome. What DO you recommend? I just got an SSD and the ADT thing, ordering the dell da 2 was kind of a pain (ebay sellers cancelling orders).
Incredible
Thanks for the great video ETA! I just purchased a setup similar to yours, only I went for a second hand RTX 2070 on eBay to keep costs down (I only game at 1080p anyways so it should be plenty powerful).
Question though, can you tell me a little more about those plastic standoff screws at 2:10 ? Like, what size are they, where can I buy some, etc? Thanks a bunch!
Sir can you have a link on the pcie adapter from where ylu bought it?
Minisforum b550 is using this concept aswell
When you say its using watts like 35 during gameplay, does that include the power used by the 6900XT as well as the Beelink or just the Beelink?
we used to get a GPU for our PC, now we have to get a PC for the GPU
Do you have a video with the smaller GPU you were going to use? Would you have been able to power it up without a separate power supply? I have the beelink as well and I’m wanting to add a GPU so I can get better performance running a quest 2 VR for x-plane. It works now but supper laggy and crappy graphics through the headset. TIA
Minisforum just put out a new mini PC with graphics dock. When you get it can you please check if network cards will run without external psu ?
So I know is a long shot, but I tried with a 4th Gen Beelink AMD Ryzen 7 4700u, same EGPU mount, fully modular 850 watts PSu and a 3080Ti and the device’s lights blink green, then go off, cannot seem to make it work. Any suggestions?
The egpu mount is connected to the NVME slot and the computer boots up with no issues.
I remember I made a comment on some tech video about APUs. I said it'd be cool if someday we could have high powered systems in tiny form factor pcs. And a bunch of people replied to me saying we already did in the form of consoles. No, this is what I meant but without the gpu.
Hi, i wanna ask, is the Adtlink to nvme compatible with any gpu? I am planning on using it with asus Gtx 1660ti dual fan. Thank you 🙏
this is cool though, if you have already some parts lying arround get that awesome m.2 adapter
that asrock oc formula rx 6900xt is so pretty
Who needs an external GPU with Thunderbolt, we can make our own cheaply... Thanks Eta.... I need mini pc like this with new apu amd or intel 12 Gent
AMD spec says that the processor can work with LPDDR4 - Up to 4266MHz as well as the 3200. If it runs that full speed in dual channel, it would be a big performance boost. Have you seen this done? Could you try it out please?
Is there a cheaper way to get an adt link adapter or a thunderbolt 3 adapter for a GPU? It is a bit much to be charging $100-200 just for an adapter if I only want to use a $200-400 GPU
so, which i need to buy for an Egpu ? M.2 NVME or ThunderBolt 3/4 or USB4.0 40GB/s ? which connectivity give the nearest to Dextop performance ?
The only mini PC I have from Beelink is the Ser5 Mini PC.
I wonder how well it works with a Beelink Ser5 pro 5800h with a RTX 3060 with the same setup?
Hey eta, why don’t you do a follow up of the Alienware alphas? They also came with a gpu enclosure, I think it would be cool to see how they stack up now to back then.
Awesome😮😍
I'm pretty sure you can squeeze the compones from the Mini Pc into the graphic card's case. That would be an interest build
does this concept/DIY idea work on all mini PCs that have m2 slot & work on any GPUs that is compatible with the ADT-Link R3G? does a mini PC exist with 2 m2 slots?
Running beelink gtr6 with egpu 6800xt. Still only 55fps on warzone and cad/cam fusion 360 still lagging. Any bios settings or tweaks to get this better? Using adrenaline at the moment
Do you know with integrated graphics of the Vega 8, if I update my ram will that increase the vram?
Sweet package
I was hoping 6900HS with 6900XT. That would be mega nice.
Mad respdct ! But I'm not finding your link for the egpu dock ?
Cool test . Desk will need some work.
Man my laptop needs this. Out with the NMVE drive I suppose, in with a rare 2.5" drive adapter and an SSD, and up with all the performance and ability to work in Blender Resolve Etc.
Then to find a freaking graphicscard. Seen 1080Ti trade hands for the price of a PS5 Digital.
Minis just announced a mini PC with a fullk PCIe slot to dock, I thougth it was a preview that one, lol
Hello, do you have the specs of the screw gap plastics you used? I would like to buy them
I can't find the link in the description for the ADT-Link M.2 you reference. I've been watching your videos and bought my son a Beelink GTR5 5900HX for when he goes to college next year (his primary rig will be way too big for his dorm). Since there is still no Thunderbolt port for an eGPU on the Beelink, I was going to get him an M.2 connector like you described in this video. Can you direct me to the link? I'm sorry if I've I'm just missing it. Thank you and keep up the great vids!
maybe search the name you just wrote in your reply that might work(ADT-Link), are ppl this slow?
should i install another amd driver on this set up or is it plug the adapter and ready to go..
Could this work with the SER 5 Pro? Not with such an extreme GPU but maybe a lesser model?
Hi! Sorry, noob question.... Can I do this with my SER5 PRO too?
if you were to do this but with the 3060 what other stuff would ya need (the exact adaptor and power supply)
Such a wonderful build! 6900 thumbs up. As @mrallinwonder I loved tiny APU mini PC builds since 2011. What's next??
Is it possible to add a double adapter so u got 2 m.2 slots so we can keep the ssd ?
Elitemini B550 coming up with base for external GPU. Are you going to review it?
Is the EXP GDC support this card with M.2 adapter cable??
Can this connected to the wifi slot in the pc?... I got a HP EliteDesk 800 G2 and thinking in building a gaming out of it, I think it has a i5 6500.
would you reccommend a setup like this?
my kinda idea would be to get something like this, to go work abroad, so i don't have to haul my pc with me
Love your wireless keyboard. What is it please?
Nice video! Can you add assassins creed to your benchmark test?
When will be the review of the newest Elitemini B550 -- Support Discrete Graphics Card?
I worry about how much dust is going to build up in the GPU minus any filtering of the incoming air, but otherwise this is a neat setup.
Bro please can you share a link about the m2 to pci express converter. Or can you make a video where we can put this into a case and house everything in one.
This is perfect for my traveling I did not wanna carry my heavy pc and needed a small for fa tor one and with the external gpu option I cam just bring my gpu lmao 😅 awesome
Can I use a usb to m.2 adaptor? Will it work or does it need to be one one the board?
Thats some frankenbuild
