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 Where this mini-PC really comes into its own is as a game streaming box. With the rapid rise in internet speeds, the shortages of gaming hardware like GPUs, game streaming has become a viable option for PC gamers to play the latest video 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. Additionally, this ryzen mini 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. 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.
How about screens? The HX90, despite its small size, comes as equipped as a full office computer . Capable of supporting up to four monitors simultaneously at up to 4K@60Hz (2x DisplayPort, 2x HDMI 2.0). Game, chat, binge and surf all at once with the HX90. TheMinisForumHX90 is a high-performancemini PCthat combines a futuristic, practical design and high performance into a sleek, miniature form factor. 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.
Maybe iGPU will not allow you to play the latest games at high settings, but there is nothing to complain about, because it is the most efficient integrated graphics on the market at the moment. No wonder Minisforum has breathed a combination of aggressive and elegant character into the EliteMini HX90 housing made of carbon fiber. This one can enjoy the eye in any position, on a stand increasing the height by 25.7 mm, or even on a wall on the yet unknown VESA standard. The system itself is a 195x190x60mm box, making it quite a bit larger than some of the other units we have tested. You can see a few of these near the end of the video where I held this up next to a 1L TMM PC and another Ryzen 9 unit. Minisforum HX90 Three Quarter Flat 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.
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. 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. Compared to the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, the Ryzen 9 5900HX shows only a slight performance difference. Both processors are almost identical. Nevertheless, the AM4-based processor can use up to 87 W for a short time, which makes the performance advantage clear.
Emissions - very quiet operation
A single fan takes care of the temperature in it, but between the heat sink and the CPU's IHS there is no thermal paste, but liquid metal, which ensures even better heat transfer. Hence, the noise level is only about 30 dB under full load, which is not a bad result for a 2.65-kg structure enclosed in a 195 x 190 x 60 mm housing. Connectivity Except for the barebones version, all versions come with Windows 11 pre-installed. The barebones version does not include RAM and SSD; therefore, it does not have pre-installed Windows 11. 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
Need more storage? Have no fear, as the HX90 also supports not one, but TWO 2.5 inch HDDs/SSDs of your choice with its built-in SATA III drive bays. 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 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. 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. 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.You may notice “carbon fiber” looking faceplates on this system. They are plastic, but they also look cool. Minisforum HX90 Stand Three Quarter Top 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. Prices and Availability 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. 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.
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.” Powered by a cutting-edge AMD Ryzen 9 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 best mini PC for gaming available on the market currently.
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. 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.
