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.

The exhaust port on the backplate is nice

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).

Have that cpu on my laptop. It's a beast!!

The only downside is capped at 5200mhz ram. Desktop variants can go up to 8000mhz

The S300 and S400 can really compete with their more expensive counterparts. Their S500 is a good looking case too.

Nice build! What was the other case you had in mind?

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..

Please try the same build but running ChimeraOS. Curious what differences in performance you achieve.

I would love to see a gaming build with this board and a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 OC Low Profile 8G and HDPlex 250W PSU with an appropriately tiny case. Even better would be the same build but a "workstation" with a Nvidia RTX 4000 SFF Ada just to see what the maximum possible performance from the smallest possible size.

I'd really like to see Star Citizen run on this setup, seems like a good spec system.

I'm always lookig for SF6 and Diablo 2 running on small stuff as that's what I actually play.

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.

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...

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!

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.

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?

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?

Is there an ideal way to setup the various fans for pushing/pulling on this 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.

What case and power supply would you recommend if you weren't planning to add a separate GPU?

Thanks for this video. Please could you confirm cpu cooler screw thread? is it M3? M4? Thanks !

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

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.

With low profile gpu and even small case with flex power supply it looks very tiny and beautiful . Wait for it from ETA

Am I reading right that it supports 2 m.2 nvme drives? Also does the case come with a power supply?

3:00 57mm height with 25mm fan, is it correct? it looks pretty cool even for very slim case

Is there a header for that USB-C front port? I didn't notice one at first glance

Hi.. How did you disable onboard graphics on BD790i ? could you please explain? Thank you!

How much is the bios costumizable? Are ram and cpu overclockable?

I'm really leaning towards getting one of these but it's annoying to me that it lacks sata. There's several sff cases with room for at least one 2.5 ssd. You know put your Steam library on the 2.5 drive. But with this you'd be forced into getting a m.2 drive which tend to cost more than the same capacity 2.5 ssd.

I recently bought an s400 case. I'll build in it someday. Still need RAM, CPU and PSU.

That's a pcie gen 3 cable your using... And I just bought the S400 but no option for gen 4 on Amazon...

where in the world are you finding that case that cheap and with a 4.0 riser?

I wonder if sleeved custom cables would increase airflow. From here, it seems too crammed. Anyway, excellent video!

Nice review. but what I am most interested in its performance sans extra graphics card

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?

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.

Can you compare this to the desktop version?

Hmmm, interesting MB for my next build in many ways, except for the USB port speeds from what I can see so far, which means I would probably have to sacrifice / dedicate one of the M.2 slots for expansion, which is a bit of a shame imo. Perhaps minisforum will address this this in a future version. Thankfully some other minisforum (and other) products do currently offer more modern higher speed interfaces. So close...

I wanted to see the BD790i with the 4060 LP but I was wondering if the two USB ports are 5gbs or 10 because on the site it says Gen1 in one place and Gen 2 in another.

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?
