I like that the usb4 port can carry power and audio/video at the same time. Can have a one cable solution connected to a monitor that looks super clean. 👍

No USB-C on the back really pisses me off in all these mini-PCs. A decent PD from a monitor would make them the perfect desktop companion.

Would love to see an 80W test on this unit!

I swear i was waiting for this review, thanks 🙏

Has this issue been fixed? ETA never gives a bad review..@@togawearer2799

Just got a reply from my PR rep at MinisForum. They have depleted their first UM790 PRO batch and no timeframe on when the second will be ready, then I was offered two other models that are less capable to the UM690 I told him I already owned in back in December 2022. Good for you ETA Prime, if grow tired of it or move on to the next unit, I would be happy to buy it from you so that I can continue my testing of the Gaming Lens.

Glad i watch your videos.I got that amazon oculink kit working with um790 pro.Thanks

Yeah, I'm interested in a higher power test, or perhaps upgrading the RAM.

Mini pc video? 👍 Oh yes! Thank you ETA Prime. Thx for power consumption info. Kindest regards, friends and neighbours.

Used the last UM690 as my gaming and everything PC for 6mths. Tower of Fantasy was running 1440p medium settings locked to 30fps using 5600 MHz ram. This new unit would handle most low to med 1080p fine locked to 30 or 45 imo. I'm more interested in seeing those other CBC's with much faster, but soldered RAM to give the APU even longer legs to run. I think this is the perfect form factor too. Any smaller and cooling becomes a limiting factor along with trouble fitting a good amount of connectivity. This UM790 seems about perfect otherwise.

Unless you would like to cook an egg on top of it, yeah.

since this unit got 2 nvme pcie slots, you can test egpu (maybe with oculink) for the review. also its USB4 ports support egpu (with 40gbps limitation like TB3/4)

Already ordered some time ago :D Can't wait for it to arrive. How to you up the wattage? Bios? Or do you use a tool (app) for it.

Definitely would like to see emulation on this PC

I'd like to see this overclocked and hooked up to a high end graphics card through an oculink m.2 adapter tested in demanding titles at max settings, RT on and off, and both gpu and cpu percentages shown.

Would love a Linux video and also a video on safe overclocking. Just purchased a second one of these! Excited to get my hands on them.

Really enjoying your channel! How do you feel the UM790 pro Compares to the UM773 as far as performance and cost effectiveness? Pretty set on getting one of the 2 this summer.

Awesome video. But i saw your other videos with Ayaneo 2S with similar processor. There VRAM was unlocked and cyberpunk was using above 3GB. But here it was locked to 2GB. I think you could have gotten better performance @900p for cyberpunk and spiderman with unlocked VRAM

I would definitely love to see the overclocked GPU review to compare the gaming with stock performance.

Please make some more test after OC :) looking forward to it!

Not bad at all. I do wish that Minisforum would show the shipping and tax costs up front without having to go through a checkout process. I prefer to know exactly what I will be paying before I start the process of ordering.

DDR4 is bandwidth-limiting to embedded RDNA3 graphics, which is probably why AMD only used RDNA2 for earlier APU's. They were waiting for the wide-availability of DDR5.

I was looking at the GTR7 PRO 7940HS and now you drop this :) Which one to choose, seems very similar.

Please show us the settings for higher performance,. I think that this may be my next PC but would be interested to see what it can do at higher settings. Please ETA another video for higher settings!

Time to upgrade my UM690...

I'm very curious in seeing some benchmarks with this mini pc and the gtr7 with an egpu attached. I intend to replace my r5 3600 midtower with one of these and using a 1080 ti externally.

Not too shabby I’d like to see the difference at higher TDP clock rate ..

ayo look at that single core score 🔥🔥🔥

hope to see some testing/preview with egpu.

A ranking for Christmas with the best computers of the year would be a vils (video i'd like to see)

@ETAPRIME: When reviewing new models, please also take the time to check whether they work stable in a 64 GB or 96 GB RAM configuration. Now that the first non-binary DIMMs are available, it does not really make sense to keep testing the minimum amount of RAM available for an audience that is looking for the newest generation of *fast* mini PCs.

Ur voice sounds pitched up... or you got a cold? Love the videos either way, keep it up

Great unboxing/review. Just want to know how this minipc works with a Razer EGPU and an RTX 3080. Would the AMD 7940HS be a bottleneck to great performance on the extreme games?

Definitely Need a video with overclocking, to unlock the full potential

Both have been in the pipeline for months. Get the one that you can actually get your hands on, I was told their first batch is already depleted.

May i ask is it good for the mini-server that setup for the home streaming services ? Or should i just by the normal NAS enough ?

May I ask please, and I know you already do a lot for us, but if you find some time could you test linux on some of these little units & see how they go? Appreciate your channel & all you do

Will there be a video on how to safely overclock to 80W? Beginner here thanks!

Timespy is amazing. It's a apu... the max power consumption is below 100w. The spec of this apu shows PCI Express running@4.0. Would like to know more about the bandwidth of m.2 slot? Tks.

That HDMi 2.1 port just made this my next media Center. Shield can’t run a huge Kodi library as smoothly as I would like. And the Apple TV 4K I don’t wanna dive into installing Kodi if it’s as bad as people say. And whatever I go plex,emby,Jellyfin or any app I always miss Kodi 😁

Ray Tracing on an iGPU is mind-blowing, thanks for showing it off !! Maybe do an entire video about it !! Thanks!

I'm curious how the UM790 stacks up against the EM680 with that faster RAM.

Add an egpu and you have a killer setup

how to read the graph? what's the difference between power in green and cpu package power in blue? should i calculate both for the total power? btw please make another eGPU videos with these, since there's more unit with at least 2 nvme slot these days

If I wanted to run this off a monitor with a single USB c cable at 65W would I be able to bring down the TDP to stay in that range? What would that number be

Thanks. I hesitate btw beelink gtr7 pro 7940 and this miniforum. Whats your sincere choice about the Gtr7 pro? Thanks

I wanna see it do a VR performance test! 🤔

If we can keep this rate of new powerful mini pcs coming out every week, we can emulate almost anything in just a few years!

You really should be showing memory temps while gaming. These mini pc's have a huge issue with high ram temps. 95c+ on the beelink gtr7..

With the GTR running a 7840HS, can you do a direct comparison between these two? 7840HS vs 7940HS. There is very little difference spec wise but the latter cost more (comparing for the Framework 16 preorder, lol). I pulled the grigger ln the 7840HS but wondering how much performance im leaving ln the table for $200 more.

Thanks for the videos. Would it be possible to test the nvme pciex 4*4 port in egpu normally better than the TB3 ?

What are your thoughts on this as a lightbox mame / technoparrot machine for an arcade cab?

Stock is great to see and know, but I'd love to see it with a Samsung 990 Pro SSD and 64Gb's of Crucial DDR 5 5600mhz Ram to see if this upgrade would be worth the money. If it were then Barebones is the way to go and then just order these 2 items along with it. I'd also like to see a second 4tb Samsung 990 pro SSD put in and see what kind of transfer speeds would take place.

Waiting for Minisforum to ship my set. Do a comparison between 65W & 80W and how you create your own profile.

quick question: is it possible to connect a monitor on the usb 3.2 gen 2 port (usb-a) ? i have 3 monitors, and I don't want to use the ports on the front. it will look better if all cables are wired on the back.

dont forget testing TOTK on yuzu/ryujinx, 30fps and 60fps mod benchmarks results on the next video about this UM790 on emulation. blur the gameplay if you are afraid of nintendo we just want the results and thoughts if it can play it smoothly. i believe yuzu is eating more than 16gb ram so this powerful mini pc might struggle and we want to know if it does and if making it 32gb make it better.
