- In this video, we take a look at the most powerful Mini Gaming PC I've ever tested!
This thing is powered by an i7 9750H and has a GTX 1650 GPU!
They also offer this same mini gaming PC with an i9 but I opted for the i7 version and this thing is amazing for the price and size!
We run some benchmarks and test out 10 PC games like Genshin Impact, COD warzone, GTA5, Forza Horizon 5, Fortnite, and more!
I picked this mini Gaming PC up from Aliexpress and in my opinion, it was totally worth it!

"Look how Mathlabs works :D"
You have to say that this device is my workstation, for school, for gaming. It should last you for at least the next 3ish years no prob.

I wish it had 1660 super though. That would give 1080p@60fps in Cyberpunk.
2025: Oh boy Gt730m is going to be awesome
This is honestly a nifty little box for some moderate gaming. Take it to a mates place for some classic multiplayer.
This is a generic PC with no branding that every manufacturers slapping their own brand
No homo😌
Left4Dead here we go!
@Satsuki Shirotae if I'm so rich. Then why the hell can't I afford to upgrade any of my parts? Also. You can still play 3D games on a GT1030. They're just going to look like muddy xbox 360 graphics.
Can I suggest doing a noise test as well for all the mini pc that you review? As I think it's quite an important factor of how these thing will sound when under gaming load vs light load. Some of these mini pc can go from absolute silence to a jet engine pretty quickly depending on their fan design IMO.
I have one of these and I have never heard it yet, And I mean ever.
I'm waiting for Ryzen 6000 APUs - imagine RDNA2 on an APU - they'll be perfect for mini PCs like these
Definitely will go toe to toe with this pc or be better. Main reason is a way faster cpu. But this system is pretty good on price.
@@wolffactor56 with AMD finally outing fidelity fx, these mini systems can take really good advantage of it.
@@GGoblin1 Well....IMO, RDNAx APUs with 12-16 CUs will render entry level to mid range dGPUs obsolete.
@@APU-iGPU anything under a 1060 6gb is my guess.
@@mikeymaiku Yes may be...compute units and bandwidth plays an important role.
At the virtual Computex 2021 event, AMD has already demonstrated a scalable 3D stacked CPU with 64MB cache. So eventually AMD will 3D stack APUs as well, which impoves gaming and certain workloads.
I never understand the thumbs down on these. The information is stellar. The content is fresh. And I wish I could afford to purchase all of em. Keep up the great work!
You mentioned changing the thermal paste. I'd like to see a water cooler on this to see how much you can push it. Great video, thank you for sharing!
You always have such well-structured videos and thorough links/timestamps in the description, ETA - keep up the great work!
Nice vid, that thing is pretty cool. I definitely want to see how much you can get the temp down with some new thermal paste.
I also got my mini PC from AliExpress.
Mine's arrived a few weeks back and it's a i9-9880H with 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD. The seller also threw an Intel AX WiFi 6 + BT M.2 adapter into the mix for me. After having it for a few weeks to play with, I cannot say I hate it. 👌🏻
And it does play everything I thew into it so far. I am really all smiles. 😊
Nice protip on using Intel's Extreme Tuning utility. That's why I watch your videos. Will try that in mine. 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's amazing how a little PC like this one, thst can fit loosely into a backpack, can pack such a punch. I'm glad I've got mine. I plan on adding a 4TB 2.5" HDD to it soon.
Same setup here as well. The fan on mine seems to run literally all the time. This little PC does run hot.
How has your PC turned out so far? Thinking about buying on Ali soon but worries about stopping working right after the month
wow I wondering you might make a video about this, and here it is!!
Man I don't say it enough but I appreciate you for making the content that you make so much! I love your videos and how you usually test emulation and cheaper pc builds and other unique stuff that many others don't. You're always very thorough but quick and to the point and your videos are structured very well and are very entertaining! And you just seem like a cool nice dude from how you talk so it's just good vibes all around and I thank you for doing what you do! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Show some comparisons with other mini systems please. Great videos as always.
A mini tear down would be nice, to see the MXM board and possible upgrade paths.
I'd love one of these little pc's you find :) the full atx tower looks out of place in the living room :D
Hey eta took my bottom panel off and plotted out a ton of points corresponding to the fan location and drilled a bunch of tiny holes it looks wicked nice and put some mesh over it and dropped the thermals BIG TIME 🤪 thank you for all your sage advice and videos you are my go to dood for all things nifty whenever anyone is curious aboot my pis retrostations or minis I just link your vids ☺️
Great idea! I was just messing around with this pc with the new GOW PC port. I might try this out. Thanks
I WAS SO MUCH WAITING FOR THIS SPECIFIC ONE
I just picked one up off of Aliexpress and I'm really happy with it so far.
@@danielwilliams8533 How is the fan on this one? Is it really loud when playing games?
@@Mosestylez Louder than a ps5 and quieter than a full pc
@@danielwilliams8533 Hahaha wait, so it's quiet?? I don't have a PS5, and my current PC is loud af 😂😂
@@Mosestylez it has pretty small fans so it’s high pitched. If you’re looking for a quiet system this isn’t it. It’s maybe a little quieter than your current
This seems like a really good way to go for a small form factor machine that can ACTUALLY play some AAA titles. Great video as always!
I think for these mini PC's you should also just take your cell phone and record the computer a couple feet away to give us an idea of what the fan noise sounds like. For some, depending on how loud the fan noise is, can a deal killer.
I'm in the market for a new laptop soon but I might consider one of these and get a second monitor for that displayport.
Please do another video with new thermal paste, I am really curious!
hey ETA ! Thanks for the review, can you do emulation tests ?
I'm really glad to see you show something off which is actually affordable and available!
Great review
This thing is an emulation beast. I have the i9 version and it flies through any kind of emulation I've thrown at it. Looking forward to your emulation testing of this.
Hey Liam, which Emulation did you tested? Ps3, Switch, Wii U, Wii, Xbox 360? I am thinking about to buy this beast but i don‘t know how this mini machine can run each emulation above
Ps3?
I have seen tons of these Laptop based mini pc's with dedicated GPUs,none of them have a ryzen CPU and that sucks.
Because a ryzen mobile cpu of this gen would have been hot garbage. Hence why you only see 8th/9th gen intel mobile cpus in these atm
The 9750h is very capable. It's comparable to my 6700k.
I know because I have this PC since a year ago by now.
If you want an emulation machine it doesn't get better than this.
@@martinantelo7086 you can do "better" with less powerful hardware but the actual product would probably cost around the same as this minipc if you want to compare this minipc with another product... specsise anyway but i would agree. As a standalone unit you can buy "new" it doesnt get much better if your going for higher end emulation
@@martinantelo7086 and yes i know i have a 6700 nonk and its been a good system. Id never take the overall pc to 240hz 1080p but its still capable for most high refresh gaming scenarios
I have an actual laptop with a 1650 and a ryzen 5
Awesome video as usual
Thanks for another great video
Maybe you could do undervolting along with the thermal paste to have a little bit more performance
Hey ETA Prime, still planning an emulation test video for this one? Keep up the great work.
Do an emulation test with it.
@Jay & Jo same.
@Jay & Jo ikr
It will struggle a little in Yuzu and RPCS3 since it has an 9th gen Intel Core chip vs 11th gen Tiger Lake.
Do you really think he will get this pc and won't do a separate emulation video? Are you new here?
Nice video dude, is it possible to undervolt the i7? maybe you can get better temps
you always impress me with your knowledge of computers and technology. There is a smart phone I would like you to do a gaming test on. the Nubia RED MAGIC 6 Pro. I know you already did the poco. Just let me know which one is better. I would like a comparison
Love your videos bro❤️❤️❤️.
I see this mini pc a lot of time ago AND finally i found a review
The temperatures are really good. I've got the same i7 in my notebook and it's always around 100C while gaming and super loud. How are the noise legels on this pc?
81c?? That's actually fantastically cool for this setup. A similar laptop would probably be 100c and throttling.
Yeah absolutely
ive seen some mini pcs similar to this on aliexpress with a full sized 1650 in it, would be cool to see.
I would love to see a fresh thermal paste application on the mini pc just to see how much the cooler can be push.
I would Love to have one of these
Hello ETA
You are making fantastic videos.
I am an old timer and living in my time of Retro Games (C64 my first love) and I bought Nvidia Shield Pro learning how to install.
Can you please help me in defining if I can play new Microsoft Flight Simulator on this or any of the mini PC in your reviews?
I’ll remain grateful.... Stay blessed.
Awesome box. Can you use an external gfx card on it?
i would love to have a mini pc like only if i can afford one. To fix the high cpu temps i think undervolting using throttle stop would help.
I really love the conveniences of these mini PC’s. My current tower PC built back in 2014 has gotten me this far but it’s time to upgrade. Any reconditions on a mini PC for streaming, video editing, and photo editing? I need something that’s quick, snappy, and is going to last me another 8-10 years. I also need something with a lot of USB ports. Thanks
Depends on your budget. I'd check out Beelink's line of Mini PCs on Amazon. They're the best bang for the buck systems around. You can find a great system under $500 (SER 5 Pro) especially now that Cyber Monday is around the corner (on sale this week around $400!). Ryzen 5 5600H
16GB dual channel DDR4, 500GB Kingston nVME and can emulate just about game system smoothly! If you need anything else, higher you can go with their GTR5 system which is in the same price range as this Nvisen, a Minisforum HX90 which are also on sale this week (Amazon) or the Nvisen for around $700. Anything else higher than that will be overkill unless you need to play nothing but AAA games on the highest settings. If yes you wouldn't be looking at a Mini PC you'd be out building a gaming rig
I died when that crazy air time on the forza didn't land. It was so clooooose
Got one of those at the beginning of the year. Great little 1080p gaming pc
Have you checked it for Windows 11 compatibility?
@@canuckhorn9299 Everything I've checked shows up green apart from TPM which shows red.
Nice little box, I am still waiting for these manufacturers to use the leftover RX 5600M and 5700M chips for such a build-in combo with a Ryzen APU. Those GPUs were disappointing but way better than the 1650 mobile.
Hey man. Do you happen to have a video for a newbie putting an emulator pc together as far as which settings could be tweaked for higher FPS? I'm going to build one in August. Ty.
thnx for the review, but i think u miss something , the thermal and fan noise on heavy load .
Very nice! How is it with emulating ps1/2 etc? Might get my dad one of these soon.
54 FPS on cyberpunk 2077 explains a fine gaming performance for this system.
I would be happy with 5fps on a ps4
It is 70% scale though...
1080p, 70% scaled, medium-low settings...
@@samuelec this device cost less then a graphics card, for ppl with a low budget probably the best choice.
Can throw it away or resell for same price at any time without a big loss as well
@DHL it so bad on cyberpunk that replacing that cpu/graphics card with just one radeon 5700G makes more sense and you would still be able to buy a powerful graphics card later on when/if their price drops
Prime, would you consider this gaming pc for streaming and personal use like designing effects like after effects?
Great video as usual 👌.
Would this little thing run Ark Survival Evolved? Even on low settings would be good enough just so long as its playable
Repaste the thermal paste (liquid metal for fun), testing compatible wifi6/bluetooth card.
Also there's another range of mini pc in aliexpress that have i7-7700h and dedicated gtx1650 instead of the laptop gpu like this one. Hoping you will do a video of that one.
Oh wow I ordered one last week
$590 before tax and shipping for an i5 and 1650 with no RAM or storage isn’t awful given current GPU prices. $75 for 16GB of RAM and $60 for a 500GB SATA M.2 makes the price a little too high, but could be nice if you want a second system to use as a home console/media PC
Agree. You could buy a laptop with to those specs Schenker or Xmg.
Hoping Black Friday/Cyber Monday has some deals going for these! About to pull the trigger and get an i9 version
I'd love to see how much a lower CPU tdp (~60), higher GPU tdp(~70) and new thermal compound for both would increase overall performance
Not by much.
Somebody has done it before and Added the Video on UA-cam ,it was way worser than the Original ,but i don’t know who was it
Lovely, thanks for the help 👌
Can you do a comparison to the nvida shield tv? And could this act as a better replacement to that style box?
Do a video on the one mix 4!
That's...not bad at all! Current prices taken into consideration of course.
700k well done
my brother would love this thing. its powerful enough for his needs
Are you able to swap out the cpu cooler for a bigger desktop cooler and run it without the cover?
Wow this thing looks much better than the other mini computers.
When I followed the link and speced the same it comes in at $683.72??
A full $100 plus dollars more, it sounded too good to be true tbh.
Very nice results , even Cyber punk can be run very smoothly on 1080p.
Can you see what DayZ looks & like plays like please as I'm looking to move from console to pc to play modded maps & such but I've never owned a pc or laptop
I'd certainly be interested in a "kick it to the limit" version of this video with new/better thermal paste, GPU overclocking, faster RAM (if possible), and any extra juice you can pump into the CPU. Nonetheless, the value proposition here is pretty astounding!
How hard is it to add more memory?
And I see you added 2 but can I add more as long as there's room for it?
This is pretty impressive and its not a bad price seems like something I'd put under my tv ETA prime how much of a difference is 1650 from 1050 performance wise 🤔
Mr eta I bought one it shuper shweet 8) can you please do a vid on properly boosting/overclocking setting the voltage properly and what not what bios settings to use and using MSI or xtu from Intel to setup the tuning for the best performance pretty please 🥺
Also mine is a topton with an i7-9850h not the 9750 weird same exact everything else
Where can I find a full setup for ALL Emulators latest for a PC?
I watched a few of your videos but you never tell how you do the things you do so far.
Replace the paste and turn the fan up 1 step per temp interval i think, it might get a lil noisier thats the issue
Hey ETA
I would love to emulate Gamesconsols like PS2, Switch, N64 and PS3 on Windows.
Which Programs do you use?
Thanks
I would love to see CS:GO and some Adobe Photoshop, After Effects and Premier Pro performance on this too. I am in the market for a decent small form factor video editing workstation to hook up to my 22 inch 1080p LG TV on my desk to do some freelance work on the side. I have a Roku hooked up to one of the 2 HDMI jacks on the back and I think this pc will fit the bill but I am not 100 percent sure. I also plan to game on it as well.
Looks like you could easily upgrade the Wifi to an AX200 for Wifi 6 if you were so inclined. (And the modules are pretty cheap.)
would love to see it with proper paste and running stuff like Subnautica Below Zero - No Man's Sky - ARK and such
I see a lighting bolt atop the usb-c port. Does it support power delivery, or thunderbolt?
Do you know if the GPU is connected directly to the Display Port, and if this supports G-Synn?
Some other reviewer got the i9 variant and found it had some thermal throttling and suggested the i7 variant as well
It looks ok but I really need it at a discount: With the 3050 about to be released and out for laptops now it's just kind of lackluster-by-comparison since the 3050 gets not only a bunch more performance at similar power characteristics but DLSS 2.0 support which IS a very big deal for a low end card like the X50 Nvidia class.
Please, make full teardowns.
@ETA PRIME, Thanks for video, how about EMU performance, can this run PS3 games with 1080P smoothly?
What’s the total wattage on this thing under while gaming? Electricity prices in the U.K. are going through the roof an my kids have PCs so wanna consider smaller gaming rigs with lower wattage.
Did you ever do an emulation video with this?
I'd love to see Death Stranding on your test. Thanks!
I think at this price, I'd be more likely to grab a base model G14. You can get a 4800HS/1650 model for around the same price as your barebone kit. Sure it's not 6" wide, but the 4800HS will absolutely stomp that CPU - especially in non-gaming tasks, which you might want in a "Desktop" PC.
Still good to see mini pc's getting some gaming love.
How does it perform with an eGPU? This might be my replacement for the laptop with a razer core w/2070 super . . .
I really want to see VR tested on this. In theory it should be comfortably within the requirement. The desktop versions of these components can definitely run VR.
Comparing this to laptops, I suspect this should have better cooling and thermals. Laptops of this spec and price class tend to run hot and thermal throttle.
it's worth it? I'm thinking of buying it or building a pc with similar components
I have a laptop with same 9th i7 cpu and you can undervolt this really well. I undervolted my -150mv and my peak power consumption dropped from 87w to 72w. Now, it can boost up to 4ghz all core fairly well.
Bro I'm looking to buy this PC someday but I'm concerned about how durable this PC would be like it can last long enough ? How was your experience having this PC ?
Please measure the sound level of fans when you review systems.
Ordered one of these about 3 months ago and had overheating issues from the start. On opening it up, one of the fans was missing and temps were hitting over 90° on idle.
Big oof. :x
Where did you order it from? Aliexpress?
Genial, esta completo el video ~
Thats a nice looking PC..
If you want to upgrade the RAM or sad later is that possible?
@9:10 that bus said i dont think so
I have a desktop single fan/slot 1650 and they're pretty decent cards for 1080p gaming.
There's no 6/8 pin power lead required and combined with my Ryzen 3600 in my ITX build it's silent and draws very little power overall.
How many monitors can you hook up to this? I'm asking because I want to use it on my digital pinball from atgames.. thanks
Yes i need it to render intensive worksheets on excel dad
I get the same pc with I9 configuration, it works perfect in PC games but with retroarch even PS1 work slow , any suggestions?
