Even if I hated this video (which I obviously don't), I would still hit the like button. First time I heard anyone use the word finagle in a tech video. I salute you! Using same system to record footage is bound to hurt performance. You might want to invest in an external capture device. I wonder how this PC would handle video editing. Thanks for the video.
It looks like you have the CPU power capped at 15W. Have you checked the bios to see if you can up that to get more performance? This chip should be able to go up to 35W.
It's funny that you mention this. I was actually looking at this yesterday. I installed the AMD Tuning Utility and was playing around with some different settings. I found that it ran pretty good at 25W. Trying to do more than that just turned it into a jet engine with the fan and it felt like it was going to melt. lol However playing at 25W I could easily get a consistent 60 FPS in Fortnite with fairly low fan noise. Will need to play around a bit more - but you are certainly right. The default on this specific setup is capping the power at 15W.
I set it to performance mode in the Windows settings, but whenever the tests run it shows balanced for some reason. I tried every which way and this is the result.
It really depends on what you are looking for. This one is on the borderline of being "just enough" for light casual gaming. If you have the money for a lower end rig with discrete graphics card that might be the way to go.
Yes, all of these Mini PC's basically use laptop type components as they are running mobile processors often found in laptops. So you are correct on the DDR memory.
How well can it play Aura Kingdom, Starbound, Stardewvalley? Would you kindly sell it to me for $15? Been 20 years I work on streets can't afford a pc, I paid uni bht they didn't get me diploma, I've been using phone that isn't mine but it's so hard to edit resumes and try to navigate over the internet...phone needs cleaning and I can't transfer my files. I was gamer girl, studied hard, worked hard, but life busted my ass. It's all I can wire you tru Paypal. Cheers ❤🙏💜✨

lol - I was recently looking at external capture devices since I've been doing more of these mini pc videos. Thanks for the comment :)

How do I increase the cpu power cap on this mini pc?
I also want to know how to increase the power limit of the mini pc
Saving up to buy this with other accessories! Super excited😊
Nice!
@@TisforTech it’s arrived and it works amazing! Thank you for the review
Keep it up brotha!
Thanks!
This looks pretty sweet!
Obs could be also holing the performance back.
Yeah, running any of the screen capture stuff does have some overhead.
Bro can you do performance mode test because It will perform much better.

Im looking to just use online for sites facebook and such.. but i need something fast for cheap.. could this be it??
For sure, this is a great desktop computer. Quick and capable for those use cases for sure!
What are your thoughts on this vs a lower end gaming rig?
It really depends on what you are looking for. This one is on the borderline of being "just enough" for light casual gaming. If you have the money for a lower end rig with discrete graphics card that might be the way to go.
Does it use the same kind of ddr laptops use? It kinda looks like it to me.
Yes, all of these Mini PC's basically use laptop type components as they are running mobile processors often found in laptops. So you are correct on the DDR memory.
Can you run obs properly on it and stream
You can certainly probably run OBS fine, but streaming a game that is taking up some GPU smoothly might be a challenge.
Do you think this is powerful enough? For gaming?
It's on the edge. I can be used for gaming with the right expectations around the quality.
Do they make one with a Ryzen 7 or 9?
There are some coming out soon I believe with the Ryzen 9. I'm trying to see if I can review one! Check back!
noice
Could it run american truck simulator?
*probably
Any tests done/can be done to see if this sends info back home to China like those android tv boxes do?
Hmm, good point. I think I'll need to run some sort of port/network monitor to see what kind of outgoing IP traffic is going on.
@@TisforTechI'll appreciate the results if you do
So I used Portmaster to track the outgoing connections and I didn't end up seeing anything suspicious here...at least that I could tell.
Diz hot
would be sweet with ryzen9
I agree!
Can i play Old school Runescape on it 👀
I'd imagine so!
This or BeeLink ser5 ?
I currently don't have any experience with Beelink machines... They look close from a spec perspective.
