This is the exact kinda build I figured these GPU's are really meant for. I don't see them as "gaming" GPU's, but more like an All-In-One desktop that you can game on.
My main point being that "buy this now and get a GPU later" is always thrown around for these APU's. But in this case, where would a GPU fit? @@Potatobitz
Cannot thank you enough for these several 8600G and 8700G videos 👍 Nobody else is covering these superb Rdna3 APUs as extensively. Kindest regards, friends and neighbours.
Lately, I am less excited about the nerfed 8x PCIe 4.0 typical of these APUs. Still interesting chips but would like to see a version with 16x PCIe 5.0 slot. Kindest regards, neighbours and friends.
@@helloukw Short version of a longer story: I have tried Steam Link, but I get a little too much latency than I care to deal with because of how my network is set up. I appreciate the idea though!
The price of a secondhend dedicated GPU and cheap CPU is a more affordable way to get BETTER performance than these new APU builds. The only reason you want these is to make a super compact, very light gaming build. Have you not watched ANY of the other videos covering these APU's?
You can get away with even smaller case as there are some cases with external laptop style power supply & internal adapter included. Some of them even have slot for slim optical drive, so you can have a true "old school" console / emulation station. It is crazy how easy building "a console sized" gaming PC has become. Also... am I the only one waiting for those new AMD APUs to be used in Minisforum motherboards ?
This series of chips is going to be in high demand. HP and Dell are going to be all over it. As will the likes of Walmart and the entire global south. Which is good news to a bottom feeder in the market like me. I know I will be able to find one in 3-4 years for $100 somewhere. And the price of AM5 parts will come down a lot by then too.
These are desktop APU's, so the likely hood of Minisforum or other MiniPC manufacturers in putting them in their little machines is highly unlikely, especially when they also have machines with the 780m iGPU available at more reasonable prices. A MiniPC with the 7840HS cpu is your best bang-for-your-buck and that isn't changing anytime soon. Maybe next year, but you're better off waiting for Zen5, laptop varients.
Also waiting for the Strix Point Halo to come out with the 40 CUs rumored. But if it does come out as they say in 2H 2024, then Minisforum should have them for pre-order in 2H 2025. Although, I keep reading how Minisforum is known to not update their motherboards. So one is hesitant to purchase something with that in mind.
Can't wait for ASRock to make an AM5 version of the desk mini. Would make for a great tiny pc with loads of power at a reasonable price, as was the case with the original AM4 deskmini at the time.
This is about around I think almost $650 usd for almost everything the crazy part is you can just buy a beelink mini pc with the same igpu AMD Radeon 780M for almost the at around 600 with everything in it...... and its smaller the only con about going with beelink or a mini pc is that you cant swap out all the parts like the one prime is building.... if something happens to one of the pc parts you can just replace it decisions decisions lol nice work eta prime!
at the moment I only use an APU and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. I play my game at 55FPS medium settings. and I play counterstrike just fine. There's an entire industry and market of people who DON'T play AAA games. for those people this is perfect. this is also perfect for internet cafes that want to let people play cs2 or Valorant. not everything has to be so high end. people have high end GPUs and still aren't the best at what they do. Intel and Nvidia have always left budget people behind.
Nice built, great review. Perhaps I missed it, but the only thing I would like to know is what this actually in total costs with the spec used in this video.
Perfect for somebody like me. Old but tech savvy and not too much into games. Come to think about it, I would prefer a laptop built with the same or similar APU.

I would just like to thank you for how your audio starts out low and slowly ramps up to a comfortable level. Too many folks have their audio blaring loud at the start of their videos.
Mini pcs tend to overheat a lot when gaming on them, theyre only for great web surfing and htpc purposes. Desktop apus however is great for those who dont want to worry about temperatures at high wattage performances.
The APU part in the 8600G and 8700G sure could be better, judging by tests that others made. I really love the idea though, especially with SFF builds for gaming or just simple media consumption.
It's literally the best iGPU right now, Intel doesn't have anything remotely similar. But yeah, technically you're right, it could be better (and will be according to AMD's roadmap for 2025 and 2026)
Imagine if they use CAMM standard on thin&light, mini pc and handheld. We can get a faster/similar ram speed with lower power consumption than standard lpddr.
5:33 yesterday I had a lot to say about this video instruction....but now my head is cool and I can act without anger. Guys If you try to repeat this build measure everything twice, and it's better to PUT THE POWERSUPLY FIRST!! My ass was on fire...
I feel like this should be awesome. But for $600 you could build a banger pc for sure using used parts for that price. Only thing this is really good for is the novelty of being tiny.
This is very nice and all, but I wished that AMD would release a chip with 4 cores, quad threads, and the full 780m iGPU, rather than this cut down iGPU. A replacement is needed for the 2400G/3400G
I might build myself something like this as my second machine and use the ser5 I'm using now for a low power server or something. It will be interesting to see what AMD comes out with once they move past the 780m, this isn't quite there yet for most gaming @1080p but it's not that far from it either.
I find that the benchmark scores are useless if there's nothing to compare them to. As a noob doing research, it would be great to compare the scores with CPU/GPU in a similar price range or its competitor.
The AMD Wraith Spire is 71 mm tall, while the AMD Wraith Stealth is 54 mm tall. it should fit according to the case description. "CPU cooler: no taller than 75mm when install a M.2 drive; no taller than 60mm when install a 2.5” SSD on top; no taller than 45mm when install a 3.5” HDD on top."
Thanks for the videos, mate. Unfortunately, AMD's own cooler is not enough for this chip. I would definitely go for a decent cooler. Even mid-level ones make a difference around 20 °C. Also, don't forget that this APU has a good overclocking potential.
ik the main point of APUs like these are all in one small form factor PCs. but would it be cool to use these with hopes of a future GPU? i was plannning to get this and make use of the integrated graphics until i get money again to splurge on a GPU
So approximately $650 overall for this build? I think I'd prefer to get a Minisforum mini PC instead. The UM790 Pro (which I have based on your review) is frequently on sale for about the same price and comes with a Ryzen 9 and 780M. Or you could build a nice AM4 platform with a dedicated GPU for less than 650 if you don't care about SFF.
Personally don't like mini pcs, but yes, if you're not terribly space constrained, like it's meant to sit near tv and not go in a backpack, m-atx cases like jonsbo d30 make a lot more sense, everything is suddenly much cheaper and better. Full size psu, cheap mobos etc. for about NR200P size.
You're running this with just the APU, right? I'm wondering if I could get similar or better results from a less powerful CPU (a Ryzen 5 5500), but a more powerful dedicated video card.
GN did this with a 12100F and a RX6600. Totally blows the 8700G out of the competition.(let alone the 8600G) At these prices it's only desirable for small systems and then you pay a premium for the ITX mainboard also. (about 70 dollars in my country)
@o9758I have a flexguru 300W which seems to be just fine power wise, even with PBO and stress testing it doesn't rev up. It's not silent though, as in, if sensible to it, could be a bit annoying for home office. But for the way I use it (steam + yuzu couch gaming) I can't hear it at all sitting about 2-3 meters away from the TV. Btw yuzu is crazy good on this APU.
@Mosestylez you're telling me! I'm finishing up a graduate degree and I hold a full time job as a mental health professional. I don't have time for a life.
@5GRobo no not cog in the machine. It's all about who hold what to be important. Who says that I don't already have a family that I am proud of while still getting these "meaningless toys". It's meaningless to you but it makes me happy.
Did you have to do anything special to get the 8600g to work with the a620i? I have a similar build but cant get this thing to post properly even after flashing the latest bios.
Very great build. I exactly want to build this! But I highly recommend to use FSR instead of RSR if its possible. RSR is the solution if the game doesen't support FSR. Like Palworld for example.
@5GRobo doesn’t look so bad to me. I see you replying a lot that this is a waste, but could you really get that much performance out of a build with a gpu for the same price? Looks like this would be around 600 total and I feel like you could o my get a Ryzen 5 5000 series with a 6600xt for that and it doesn’t seem like that would be miles ahead of this. Take into account the form factor and everything and this seems pretty decent.
@@Crustenscharbap sure, and I want one eventually for home office when temps are high, and to bring to friends for couch gaming where 95% of what we play is indies or emulation. But at around 500€ overall, not 700+ :D
I would like to see the 8600g vs 7600 with say a 4070 super and/or 7900 xt and see what are the difference in fps at say 1440/4k. Basically is there a big difference between the two since the 7600 can be bought for about $30 less than the 8600g.
You sure about this working well with Linux? I've read a number of comments suggesting a lot of tinkering is required to get even something like Mint off the ground. And there are reports of freezing and inconsistent behavior in Ubuntu as well. It's possible some of your viewers will run into similar issues. If they're on Linux, they might already know what they need to do to troubleshoot, but it looks like some troubleshooting will be needed to get a Linux distro running smoothly.
Hi can you do a video review of this model kuycon monitor with full alternative choice on kuycon g34w vs kuycon P40U so you know if it's worth buying their monitor
Yeah, they are expensive AF. When I did my ITX build I spend around 320 bucks on the cheapest ITX I could find. Sure Im not in USA, so maybe they are cheaper there, but its not a pick what you afford, its a pick what you find in stock situation.

Porbably more prudent to upgrade to a 8700G instead of spending extra on a little faster RAM if you want more graphics performance.
Thanks for the videos, mate. Unfortunately, AMD's own cooler is not enough for this chip. I would definitely go for a decent cooler. Even mid-level ones make a difference around 20 °C. Also, don't forget that this APU has a good overclocking potential.

Hey, do you know if there are any aftermarket fans that will fit and might give better performance?
Can you show how well this build works with ChimeraOS (both with standard Steam Library and emulators)?
I noticed this case has a bracket for a single slot GPU. If you put in an RX 6400, how would it compare to the iGPU?

Can we make a 1L mini pc with this cpu.. Something like 1l lenovo thinkcentre tiny ?
yo ETA PRIME for the power supply could use a ENP-7660B-VK 600W Flex ATX PSU from VELKASE?
Could a LP GPU fit in here and if so do you have any recommendations for that?
Isn't that similar fps to gtr7 pro or um 790 pro?
Yeah, I'd think so. The only real difference would be the option of upgrading down the road.
Would the stock cooler of the 8700G fit in that case?
This one has only a 760M GPU. A much smaller mini-pc with Ryzen 7840HS and Radeon 780m is faster for gaming.

It's not silent though, as in, if sensible to it, could be a bit annoying for home office. But for the way I use it (steam + yuzu couch gaming) I can't hear it at all sitting about 2-3 meters away from the TV. Btw yuzu is crazy good on this APU.
My life revolves around eta prime video releases. I love your handheld and egpu videos. I'm looking to get an egpu for my Legion Go.
@Mosestylez you're telling me! I'm finishing up a graduate degree and I hold a full time job as a mental health professional. I don't have time for a life.
@@danielhulan3058 Cog in the machine! Build a family you could be proud of instead of these meaningless toys.
@5GRobo no not cog in the machine. It's all about who hold what to be important. Who says that I don't already have a family that I am proud of while still getting these "meaningless toys". It's meaningless to you but it makes me happy.
Did you have to do anything special to get the 8600g to work with the a620i? I have a similar build but cant get this thing to post properly even after flashing the latest bios.
Does Gigabyte RTX 4060 LP fit with this setup?/
Bios updates via usb with no cpu or a non compliant but compatable cpu , should have been a standard 20 years ago !
Very great build. I exactly want to build this!
But I highly recommend to use FSR instead of RSR if its possible. RSR is the solution if the game doesen't support FSR. Like Palworld for example.
Waste of money
@5GRobo doesn’t look so bad to me. I see you replying a lot that this is a waste, but could you really get that much performance out of a build with a gpu for the same price? Looks like this would be around 600 total and I feel like you could o my get a Ryzen 5 5000 series with a 6600xt for that and it doesn’t seem like that would be miles ahead of this. Take into account the form factor and everything and this seems pretty decent.
Dude, 6600xt is 2-3x faster. A ryzen 3600 would be plenty enough for it. And 16G ddr4 costs nothing.
@@pranze3484 Right and it doesn’t need so much electricity. I habe a 5600G and a RX6600. Runs like a rocket. But this PC is interesting
@@Crustenscharbap sure, and I want one eventually for home office when temps are high, and to bring to friends for couch gaming where 95% of what we play is indies or emulation. But at around 500€ overall, not 700+ :D
any recommendation for flex psu? i couldn't find one. any link from aliexpress i would appreciate it or amazon ofc
I would like to see the 8600g vs 7600 with say a 4070 super and/or 7900 xt and see what are the difference in fps at say 1440/4k. Basically is there a big difference between the two since the 7600 can be bought for about $30 less than the 8600g.
Yeah, 7600 will be about 3x faster
I do wonder how FFXIV runs on that.. and what benchmark score it gets.
Can you try ChimeraOS on these 8600g & 8700g?
I appreciate you going budget.. good job bro
lol, this is not budget at all for what you end up with.
@@5GRobo yeah lol, noticed when i saw the cpu price
You sure about this working well with Linux? I've read a number of comments suggesting a lot of tinkering is required to get even something like Mint off the ground. And there are reports of freezing and inconsistent behavior in Ubuntu as well. It's possible some of your viewers will run into similar issues. If they're on Linux, they might already know what they need to do to troubleshoot, but it looks like some troubleshooting will be needed to get a Linux distro running smoothly.
Hi can you do a video review of this model kuycon monitor with full alternative choice on kuycon g34w vs kuycon P40U so you know if it's worth buying their monitor
No
am5 itx boards are way to expensive, i dont even understand this prices makes no sense at all
same with CPUs....where I am, any AM5 CPU/APU costs at least twice the price of a motherboard
Yeah, they are expensive AF. When I did my ITX build I spend around 320 bucks on the cheapest ITX I could find. Sure Im not in USA, so maybe they are cheaper there, but its not a pick what you afford, its a pick what you find in stock situation.
@@helloukwexactly....there are some really disgusting pricings where I live xD
To the point when getting a used RX570 and using FX8300 on AsRock 970M Pro3 motherboard is a dream come true XD
If I were to buy this or 8700G what’s a good GFX card to pair with this. I’m running an i7-3770 and 1660 Super.
Bro, you don't buy this with a GFX. Just build a 12100f or a 12400f system. That's where the value is and with the money you save, you can get a good GPU.
when is the S24 ultra emulation video coming ?!!
RGB lighting is the worst thing to happen to PC hardware
*RGBT lighting
@@ceeamWhatever it is, it’s an annoying and pointless (bar parting dafties from their money) gimmick.
Try 12400F + RX 6600 VS this
KXRORS G200 while you're at it.
i wanna try a build like this soon but the power supply in the video is not the one in the link in the description. Help?
@etaprime can I use a 8700g in this build? I'm looking to make an 8700 build but not ball out like your last one 😅
What GPU would you even pair with the 8700G?
None. Makes no sense. Just get a 3600 or something.
