About this deal

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. 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 With our STH Mini PC series, we have videos as we have done for the Project TinyMiniMicro series. Here is the video for this one:

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. The installed AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX belongs to the Cezanne series and is based on the Zen 3 architecture. The SoC offers 8 physical processing cores with a total of 16 threads (thanks to SMT), which particularly benefits multi-thread applications. The EliteMini HX90 can clearly outperform the recently tested Minisforum EliteMini HM90based on the AMD Ryzen 9 4900H. The difference between Zen 2 and Zen 3 becomes quite apparent here. Minisforum is a Chinese system builder that specializes in ultra-compact mini PCs. We recently had the chance to take a look at the Minisforum EliteMini HM90 and were positively impressed. Now the manufacturer has sent us the EliteMini HX90, the current flagship of its portfolio. The EliteMini HX90 is aimed at a different target group and should also appeal to gamers. We will find out if this is true when we take a closer look at the gaming performance. Nevertheless, other users should not feel completely left out because the installed AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX offers excellent performance that is also very well received in everyday use. 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.” The performances that can be reached by the Minisforum EliteMini HX90 mini PC are truly remarkable.Services like XBOX Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce Now and Google Stadia allow PC gamers to stream their favorite games from the internet – just like with movie streaming with services like Netflix.

For that, we got 32GB of DDR4 memory, a 512GB SSD, a AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU, WiFi 6E, 2.5GbE networking, and even Windows 10 Pro that we were able to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro. 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. 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 AvailabilityIn our MinisForum HX90 Review video we spend a bit of time playing some Windows games and emulators including PSP, Xbox Original and PlayStation 2. 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.

TheMinisForumHX90 is a high-performancemini PCthat combines a futuristic, practical design and high performance into a sleek, miniature form factor.

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. 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 The MinisForum HX90 is a high-performance mini PC that combines a futuristic, practical design and high performance into a sleek, miniature form factor. Networking is provided via an Intel i225-V 2.5GbE NIC which was a nice addition. We also get four USB 3 Type-A ports on the rear of this unit. That means that overall we have a bit more standard connectivity than the TinyMiniMicro series.
