Got mine last week and I couldn't be happier. It's quiet, and stable. Without any tweaking at all, I consistently get over 33000 on cinebench. The temps will creep up to the mid 70's every once and a while. Loving it!
I've been really happy with mine as well as a work machine. No temperature or noise concerns even forcing 75W TDP mode paired with a noctua fan. The 96GBs of 5200Mhz Mushkin Redline ram I chose just worked at full speed but time will tell how Minisforum supports this platform with bios updates.
@@linuxpirate how much are these? Also is this build blunder friendly? Like can this handle video rendering and 3d?
@@drfuzion6779 $519 on sale currently. Yes, without a doubt (obviously you know your needs on the 3D side (gpu) but as far as raw CPU power you're set). For my work I use the Radeon iGPU to drive two displays and then pass an Nvidia T1000 to a virtual machine for Nvidia work.
@@drfuzion6779 And yes, as long as you've got a GPU capable of whatever 3D work you need as the iGPU is rather weak. I use the iGPU to drive two monitors and pass an Nvidia GPU to a virtual machine for other work.
Would the step down R7 version be good for 1080/60 gameplay?
Love the build, really looks great. My favorite part is when that npc falls and died randomly in 2077 13:13
gmod be like
The 7945HX is the most efficient and fastest mobile chip on the market rn. Would love to see it with some faster and low latency RAM though.
As far as I understand it you can't currently go faster without soldered LPDDR5, no?
@@linuxpirate CAMM2 has just been ratified by JEDEC, the RAM standards organisation, so we should see a general shift away from the inferior SO-DIMM standard towards CAMM2.
Alternatively, Minisforum should've just stuck to standard UDIMMs instead.
Definitely gonna be getting this build here soon😮💨 love the small form factor
Your channel is a dream come true. I've become a mini ITX, mini pc, and handheld PC enthusiast thanks to you. Keep up the amazing work!
if you want product presentations, yes, a dream come true, but if you want reviews, this is not the right channel
He hawks a lot of overpriced chinese shit because he gets everything for free.
This is actually good hardware shown in the video. Especially for the price. But half his videos are full of junk.
Got mine Today, your build is exactly what I had planned so its great to see that the gpu goes flawless with this as a gaming pc. I even ordered the same ram.
My case is a Cougar Dust 2 tho.
Wow, I love this BUILD! Really great work ETA!
For what it is, it certainly eat everything that could be thrown at it and impressed me way more than many of the other larger PC's that have been featured.
This is really nice, I'm excited for the future.
Price overview would always add to the value of the build for the viewer, thanks great video....
this is honestly the coolest build
This is legit my most favourite build
This little build here... _perfect_ for LAN parties.
Wow! Fantastic miniPC.
Thanks, I have been waiting for this one to come out ever since they first announced it, but didn't release it with the 770i. Time to go spend money.
Put a Marshall amp casing theme around it and I am in 100% 🤣🤣🤣
Dope mini pc very impressive performance
Impressive little PC. Nice.
WE got a jumper lol 🤣 , great video mate, impressed by a mobile ryzen chip.
this set up is just an animal, pretty nice rig overall. you can play any game that you want to at higher res but it must cost a fortune to assemble lol
I ordered this exact build and I’m genuinely happy with the performance. So far my favorite PC I’ve ever built. Just in time for Helldivers 2.
libertad
Hey! What's the performance like on Helldivers? Definitely looking to upgrade my rig for it.
@@Bash_McLane my laptop has this cpu and it runs it great. 4060 laptop handles it well at 1440p medium but i average like 70 fps. id imagine the 4070 ti does a lot better
@@FiveMissiles Thanks so much!
Nice build! What was the other case you had in mind?
Is there an ideal way to setup the various fans for pushing/pulling on this one?
Good afternoon ETA Prime, enjoy all your videos and informative teachings . I wanted to ask, could that BD790i ITX board fit into a Chopin Max. I figure I would have to use an external GPU . Trying to keep it small to fit in the backpack..
I used the BD790i board but paired with Jonsbo N3 case and 8 SATA drives. Works wonderfully!
Please try the same build but running ChimeraOS. Curious what differences in performance you achieve.
I have really been tempted to sell a kidney for one of these awesome little Minis forum ITX boards. Even the 7745HX is SUPER sweet.
just did a 12400f 4070 build in this amazing case! love it! My case only came with a 3.0 riser unfortunately. Thats an awesome setup using the mobile chip!
The exhaust port on the backplate is nice
Thanks for this video. Please could you confirm cpu cooler screw thread? is it M3? M4? Thanks !
Would you get this one or the one with the intel i9 13900? The intel has 4 m.2 slots as opposed to 2. It also has 24 cores and 32 threads. I ordered the Intel one. Hope I made a good choice...
These thing are amazing.
Lol, at the ending of cyberpunk gameplay😊 somebody fall down from the building
I thought it was only me who noticed this....
Is there a header for that USB-C front port? I didn't notice one at first glance
Can you swap the cooler out on the board for a tower cooler? From what I have seen the CPU runs a bit hot when under load even with a very nice fan and I wanted to see if you could be a tower cooler on it.
This build is so amazing, even NPC will -literally- die for it.
What case and power supply would you recommend if you weren't planning to add a separate GPU?
Would a 4070ti super fit in this build if I swapped out the GPU in this build?
The only downside is capped at 5200mhz ram.
Desktop variants can go up to 8000mhz
Am I reading right that it supports 2 m.2 nvme drives? Also does the case come with a power supply?
Awesome!
Salesman of the year! Whoohoo.
Whats the consumption in idle and in small usage? I want use it as mini server/nas.
How much is the bios costumizable? Are ram and cpu overclockable?
Love your videos. I'm building this exact system in a Terra case. Question about your stats... at 11:30, the CoD stats show render resolution at 1712x960, display resolution at 1440p, but you are stating this was 4k. I'm not super familiar with how DLSS works, but I can't seem to get to 4k regardless of how I think of it. Was the 4k a type-o?
Where are you finding the S300 cases offerred with the PCIE 4 riser? I can only ever find 3.0 riser versions.
I think a decent pci 4.0 riser is around 50, this case I can't find any listing with the 4.0 riser. It could be lazy script from his team.
What was the idle, gaming, and max power consumption?
Thanks! Can you run some tests like handbrake on a 4k hdr using the x265 CPU slow speed 2 pass ? Just to get an idea how many hours it will be for a pass, I get about 8 hours on a 7950x. I really want to upgrade my pc and the 7950x is power hungry, if this can do just as close, i will abadon everything and go with this and a low SFF case, just for the performance of this generation and GPU
You provided links for almost all the components but the Power Supply. Can you please share a link for what power supply you used for this build?
Dang, I would love to build this with a2000 in a velka 3 - not sure they'd both fit but would be an amazing travel pc!
Could you do some in-depth build guides and tutorials on how to build these types of small form factor gaming PCs? There aren't a lot of TH-camr channels showcasing that.
where in the world are you finding that case that cheap and with a 4.0 riser?
That one stick of RAM not being in all the way managed to annoy the crap out of me for quite a bit lol
Perfect for ITX, both this and the Intel version. Both would drop 5-10c in temps w/ liquid metal underneath the cooler since it's essentially direct to die cooling (no IHS).
I Think It Looks Great! Can It Handle A Flight Sim In VR? Thank You.
Can you compare this to the desktop version?
I've got one of these boards on order as I am getting fed up with huge PCs never built an MITX before! Be interesting to see how its performance compares to my existing watercooled full tower 5950x rig!!
How are the Temps !?!?! I’m getting a 4070 Super next month. I might just go for this build.
Do you use the stock CPU-Fan settings?
Have that cpu on my laptop. It's a beast!!
Buying my case today. Need to get this built before ff7 rebirth comes to steam lol
Hi.. How did you disable onboard graphics on BD790i ? could you please explain? Thank you!
Would appreciate a price breakdown for each build and you take on alternative components which could optimise the price scale, thanks
3:00 57mm height with 25mm fan, is it correct? it looks pretty cool even for very slim case
I've just bought the mobo! Any recommendations for PSU?

4:30 hello,I personally bought a s300 once and also double checked the link for it in the description. Both what I got and the linked item shows pcie 3.0 riser instead of 4.0. could you please double check for this? If there's indeed an option for 89 bucks with 4.0 riser I'd love to got another one.
noticed your case mounted usb c will be redundant as the Miniforum BD790i does not have case usb c connector support, although there is rear motherboard usb c support.
I'm not sure if they've asked you before:
Do you install at your game apps manually or at once with automatedly? If so, what tool did you use for it?
Thank you so much!
Super cool build!
PS: Your COD benchmark was actually at 1440p, but still really good performance for a mobile cpu
Also at 66% Render Scale
would this be too much when using this build kinda (same mobo 64gb ram dual 8tb or quad 8tb if go with intel and gpu 7900 gre) for a backpack travel pc? or go smaller?
I heard that ASUs dual cards are not good, fans start to noise after some time
Got the 7945HX and Formd's T1, it's awesome. Small sleek, good perf, only decent temps tho expected better, it's a mobile chip with a huge heatsink and even at like 80W it runs quite hot.
are they faster then a 7800x3d for gaming 1414p and 4k??
I thought Kxror s300 it only come with pci gen3 riser when I build mine
I've been looking to build a small PC to hook up to my TV for gaming but also lots of emulation for my wife and I. This may be the build for me
Same. I was thinking about buying an xbox series x but i don't like the idea of paying a subscription to play online, and not having access to both Sony exclusive and Microsoft exclusives unlike a PC, and emulation is a huge plus.
@@netnomad47 Console players will never understand 😂
This with a 4060 LP could make for a really great ultra compact PC that wouldn't be absurdly expensive.
Nice review. but what I am most interested in its performance sans extra graphics card
Any chance MinisForum might come up with an octacore X3D version?
I mean I don't edit photos and video for a living, but a 3D cache octacore with 6000mhz RAM sounds like something that will not be a bottleneck for two more GPU upgrades.
And probably for even more GPU upgrades so long as
1. You also upgrade your display to higher res, if not wider too
2. Games don't start using way more than 8c/16t, or require clock speed as the main determinant for how much work it can do instead of high IPC at lower clocks.
does it exist for laptops? i dont think it exist
anyways to make usb c front panel work??
Hey bro de Mini fan for the Ssd is 40mm?? Can i swap for Noctua fan ??
That is a nice build man. If I never had my ryzen 9 5900x and Rx 6800 I would go for this. definitely. But no need with my specs. I have the Z1 extreme in my ROG Ally wonder if they will do a handheld with this cpu/gpu combo. Obviously not the 4070 super I mean the built in GPU.
Nice! What about the noise? :)
Love that I can use AMD frame gen with my RTX 3070 and get nearly identical performance as a 4070, only setting that slows me down is path tracing so I can run as high as 1440p Ultra RT
Can you test this spec with chimeraos?
I'm always lookig for SF6 and Diablo 2 running on small stuff as that's what I actually play.
The S300 and S400 can really compete with their more expensive counterparts. Their S500 is a good looking case too.
I'd really like to see Star Citizen run on this setup, seems like a good spec system.
That's a pcie gen 3 cable your using... And I just bought the S400 but no option for gen 4 on Amazon...
hi bro, can u help me with this motherboard? i bought it but i dont know how to install the io shield because of the wifi anthenas and the m.2 fan heatsink the left screw doesnt want to be install, whjat can i do? u know this doesnt come with manual at all xd
Yes, this video is very informative (I like IT). I've a question about GPU (in video have ASUS DUAL GTX 4070 SUPER - PCIe 4.0), but this motherboard have PCIe 5.0 x16 ( I show the screen and game run normally 🙂). I ask this question, I want use (MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16G GAMING X) to PCIe 4.0, this GPU this should work (thank for answer) 🙂. *Have new BIOS for MSI card GPU.
the price for this mobo + cpu combo is nearly $800 AUD - what makes it a competitive enough choice over an itx mobo + faster desktop class cpu that would be cheaper, and still fit in that case?
Just ordered one, are you aware if if this supports 2x 48GB sodimm ram sticks?
Yes, it supports it, even though if you check the specifications of the processor in the official AMD page it only says 64GB.
was this mobo only available for those who pre-ordered? i've looked everywhere and can't find a single place selling the bd790I and that's including minisforum themselves.
At one point they were sold out but the last time I looked they were selling them.
Nice!
I wonder if sleeved custom cables would increase airflow. From here, it seems too crammed. Anyway, excellent video!
please! we want reviews of usb C powered gaming rigs with aMD ryzen, so all the campervan comunity can game in their vans using portable batteries with USBC output powers close to 100w or more. Correct me if I am wrong, but these AMD ryzen with 780M could play USBC connected to a portable power station like Bluetti or similar, right?
7:00 You may have covered it and I just mised it, but in the BIOS of this Unit is there a way to disable the iGPU since its hoggin 2 GB of your 32GB RAM :(
HX CPUs are overclockable. Does Minisforum provide any Software or BIOS option to do CPu overclocking? Also, is there any Mods available to make the Ryzen Master / PBO overclocking to work with these HX series Mobile chips?
U can’t OC cpu on minisforum boards atm
would love to see this motherboard paired with a 7900 xtx for some 4k gaming. do you think we will see some more benchmarks on this motherboard?
