Thank you ❤
Adding another comment for the YT algorithm, you've earned a sub, and I am checking your website.
Haha thanks I'm going to be organising virtual esport events soon and once the site is all done up I'm working on a program to ambassadors get free tech to review but it's still a while ago, need sponsors and partnerships to make this happen which will take a while 😁
@@VrtuhubTech No dream is too big, keep grinding! I have experimented with shorts on my channel and they are a good way to get noticed. Good luck with the channel!
Thank you for posting this. I kept seeing ES, but I couldn’t find any information online online on what it meant
No problem, they are usually early, pre release versions which are slower and could sometimes have stability issues. The one in this PC is a tiny bit slower but it's a lot cheaper than a non es version and I didn't run into any stability issues.
Just when I wanted to check this out, great timing mate 😉
No problem I picked this up recently on sale haha, writen review should be up tomorrow!
@@VrtuhubTech Great work you're doing bro, I have a laptop with the non ES 6800H and it's a great little CPU+GPU combo. I don't know if you picked it from Aliexpress or not but they also have a great deal on it right now.
@@blackhorseteck8381 Yeah I picked it up from Aliexpress a a short while back, mainly for the review as there is hardly any Ryzen ES CPU content on UA-cam haha. Thanks I Appreciate it, its a new channel trying my best to get noticed :)
Amazing review. Thank you so much for all your time and effort ❤
Thanks for your support and it's only going to get better! 😉
I haven't seen American Megatrends in years. Always good to see that. I wonder if the final one also has it.
Great driving skills :p
I would try to find a replacement fan. That is going to fail sooner or later.
Good video, thank you for sharing. Enjoy your PC!
Haha I never realised until now AMI was American megatrends but I knew that bios logo looked familiar from somewhere 😂. Thanks I ended up boosting the minimum fan speed in the bios which did help stabilise the fan, that rattling nose is gone now. Either fan is faulty or its just spinning too slowly on the default curve 🤔
Nice review, mate! I’m thinking about buying the R9-7940HS ES version. Besides the 10% performance difference, is there anything else that worth mentioning about these ES Ryzen processors?
Are both your mini PCs still working good so far (this one and the R7 7840HS one)?
I had thought about buying the 7840hs ES version, maybe next month. Both computers are still fine, I'm using the 7840hs for programing and I sold the 6800h es to a friend (they fitted 64GB ram) and never turns it off, it's been on 24/7 lol. ES versions can be unstable, so more prone to crashing, blue screens etc as they aren't the final consumer revisions. I didn't have this issue but a few reviews have mentioned it on Aliexpress but I would say it's rare, they are using near final revisions that should have these issues ironed out. If your CPU is bad you'll know rather quickly and aliexpress return policy is good. Most of the reviews on these ES versions are positive. They offer huge value for money but I would recommend buying the barebone version and installing your own RAM and NVME SSD unless the price is very attractive. Drivers can be annoying to install though but genmachine have them on their website now. If you are considering purchasing it please consider clicking through my affiliate link I'm still buying most of what I review and this helps support my channel s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DB3XIYb thank you for watching ☺️
@@VrtuhubTech Thanks for your response! The link you provided has higher custom taxes in my country compared to this one: /item/1005007117669655(.)html. Please, create an affiliate link for this product and I'll buy it
Hey, thanks for your video. I haven't found any other ones that go into detail about the ES version.
I recently ordered an R7 7840hs from AliExpress. When the device arrives, how can I find out whether it is perhaps an ES version after all? In my experience, some retailers are not entirely honest when it comes to their item descriptions.
Download and install CPU-Z link here www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html if you have a ES variant you'll have a weird CPU model under CPU name. You can also verify the speed of the CPU and Igpu under load 😉
Also share the link maybe I can tell I've ordered a lot of things I maybe be able to advice if the seller is good or not
thanx. I bought it too. no SSD no mem model. Win11 license not included. I installed Ubuntu and it worked. PassMark score is 25k. 6800H is a best buy👍
Thanks, Man! I ordered a 6900HX. Coming in a few days, seems like mine will also be an ES. I hope no issues will be present on mine.
Let me know how it is, the 6800h es offers better value but 6900HX es is a power powerful option 💪
Mine arrived yesterday, so far so good. It doesn’t have any stability issues or crashing as far as I have tested. Updated all the drivers and Win updates. No strange sounds coming from the fans which you stated to be a defect that came with yours. We’ll be using this primarily just as a church live streaming device, where we hook up our two cameras at church. It’s pretty much overkill 😅, I went with this option because I know that this device is a good future proof plan for years to come. It was able to output 1080p streaming quality which we wanted smoothly and with no hiccups. 💪🏻
Definitely over kill but at this price it's pretty insane value, beats anything from Intel at this price point but not sure why you went for the 6900HX ES over the 6800HX ES 🤔 I got 64gb ram working on there too for database related work handles it no problem 😀
@@VrtuhubTech As I said, I want to future proof it, not that picking 6800HX ES isn’t future proofing, I want the top of the line 6000 series , since my church is going to use the mini PC why not buy the most top of the line processor? That’s pretty cool man, for sure that mini pc of yours is more than enough for that kind of work load 🤩
Hi! Is the mini pc still kicking?
Im planning to buy the 7840hs es here in my country 😅
Yeh still works fine I gave it to a friend they've used it a lot daily, I don't think they even bother to turn it off 😉🤣 would love to check out the 7840hs ES as its quiet a bit cheaper than the non es if the performance difference is still 10%
is this ok if i bought 8gb and 16gb from different brand and put it altogether?
since the store i bought doesn't give me barebone options to buy and they left me with 16gb ram dual channel from the factory defaults packaged.
Depends, sometimes it works but sometimes you can run into issues. With these Chinese brands it's hard to tell and even if it works you might run into stability issues. Ideally you want same brand, speed and capacity. You can try it and see how it goes and increase your chances of stability by buying the same GB speed and brand. Goodluck
Hi there, I got the bare bones version of this minipc. can you point me out to where the Wifi/Bt drivers for Windows 11 are? Thanks in advance
I picked up up from the Asus website. Here is a direct link after installing restart and it should work dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/08WIRELESS/DRV_WiFi_RTK_8852BE_SZ-TSD_W11_64_V6001151240_20220908B.zip?model=PRIME%20B650M-A%20WIFI
@VrtuhubTech wow thanks for your quick response. I've got both working now just got lucky with beelinks drivers for their 6800u series. Now if you don't mind me asking, have you updated the firmware on this? Thanks heaps
I looked into, they aren't any available and you could end up bricking the device if you end up flashing an incompatible bios especially since it has a ES version of this chip.
Check these links as it has a AMI bios www.ami.com/bios-uefi-utilities/ and www.google.com/amp/s/www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmanager/american-megatrends-bios-update.html%3famp but proceed with caution
Yep I don't want to risk it, especially if there is little to no benefits. Anyways, thanks for your quick response and really happy that this mini pc is working according to what I need it for (800p 30fps medium settings). You got a new subscriber mate.
How has stability been on the PC? Any crashes or problems?
I haven't experienced any stability issues with it, for light productivity and general use this is a beast! I've given this to a friend now and they've been happy with it so far. They've had cpu virtualization working on this and they'll soon add 64gb RAM.
¿Tuviste problemas con la tarjeta de red inalámbrica?
On win 11 during installation it won't work, you'll need drivers as it won't work. One of the ethernet ports (1gbps) works without drivers and that's how I got through. After installing WiFi drivers it works no problem
Hello. Is it real to increase video ram more then 2gb that automatically exist on this system?
The video memory is taken from, your ram, so if you had 16GB RAM 2GB will go towards video, leaving you with 14GB for the OS. you can allocate upto 2GB but in most modern games even if you exceed that amount it will take additional RAM for video memory.
Great review!
Fristly I was not familiar with ES cpus and I afraid getting it not stable. So I bought such machine on 6600h es. I thought that on 6600h es more deffective blocks may be disabled and chip will be more stable. Now I regret not buying 6800h es version.
In my case frequencies are lower. for cpu single core 4.35Ghz and for gpu 1.8Ghz.
I found that gpu can be overclocked using AMD APU TUNING UTILITY. But in my case incresing gpu frequency even on 200 mhz leads to consuming lots of power but gaming performance increases only about few percents. So I decided not to overclock it. It looks like vendor deliberatly left lower more stable frequencies.
As well as you I turned of that casing fan. It's usless in my case, because I decreased in bios tdp level from 45 to 35w tdp. There is no need for ryzen 5 more power. I prefer system to be cool and consider that it is not worth that. For example in cpuz bencmark at 45w tdp score was 4350 points. But at 35w tdp I get 4100 points. So for ryzen 5 no need to give more power.
I found few drawbacks.
First is this fantastic cooling system, which I love for being so quiet. The issue is in construction, some potion of hot air leaks inside the box and considerably heatups ram and ssd. Is really noticable after game playing(30minutes enough). For example if cpu temperature is 60 degree ram temperature is the same level or even a bit higher. I even decreased tdp to 25w via AATU. And it's enough even for playing games on my ryzen 5 6600h
Second one, bad wifi connectivity, I changed wifi adapter but nothing changed. But I noticed that wifi antennas are so small and weak. I suppose that they don't allow the wifi adapter working fast and stable
So check your ram and ssd temperatures. Maybe it will be a good point to lower tdp
Thanks I've set the tdp to 65w and removed the tiny fan, it runs okay and I also overclocked the GPU to 2200mhz, which is the stock non rs frequency and it worked fine but I have to manually set it in boot so I don't bother with it. 🤔😂. The vrms feel cool I did touch them after gaming to check they weren't burning and they felt alright the 6800H ES is definitely the best value and I've not had any issues with it, even virtualization for Linux VM works fine 👍
@@VrtuhubTech Good to hear that temps are good.
I removed tiny fan even before the first start. I need system to be quiet and found that fan completely useless. I don't know how you set tdp to 65w if performace mode is 54w
Sorry I meant 54W 😅
no you have 45w, watch your review while playing game. there were tdp shown less or equel 45w
and yep, have got a defective fan, I don't have such issue. but I believe that it can be quickly fixed disassambling that part were cooling system is and try to figure out why fan touches case. mayby some spacers should be placed
Interesting I thought that was just the igpu power draw
how to overclock igpu with universal x86 utility. HWinfo was showing me 1900mhz but when i tried the utility its was stuck at 400mhz and it became slow. im doing something wrong.
Don't use a preset, click on custom mode instead and find the GPU slider and slowly increase. I'm sure there are full guides available if you want the maximum speed and stability
@@VrtuhubTech Thanks. Not sure what was wrong but after a bios reset and application reinstall it worked fine. too bad cant get it stable beyond 2400mhz and 60w. the 680m is not really slower than 780m , its just hanstrung with slower 4800mhz
2400MHz from the default 1900Mhz is really impressive and there is a measurable difference in performance between the 680m and 780m but that could be attributed to higher clocks and ram speed 🤔
@@VrtuhubTech in my testing im only seeing %10-%25 better performance but they may well be because because of the supported 5600MHZ memory support on the newer chip.
10-15% is impressive, I've ordered a 7840hs version from aliexpress once it arrives I'll see how it performs 🤔
Maybe you can install 140mm noctua fan
on the top? I don't think it's gonna work as the current fan is 100mm. The issue with the ratting only happens when totally idle the fan bearing I have might be a bit bad but I did manage to mostly resolve the issue by going into the bios and increasing the minimum fan speed a slighly (still quiet under normal load)
1:54 2.5" hdd disk ?
Yep 6800H ES version can and it comes with the cable and screws in the box too. The smaller fan needs to me removed for this. Some versions cannot have a 2.5 inch drive installed like the newer 7840hs one don't have a SATA controller so does not support SATA drives.

I try use ryzen master and don’t work with me
Use Universal x86 Tuning Utility
Вы делаете обзоры на те продукты, которые лежат у меня в корзине. Правда, я ожидал увидеть этот Мини ПК с процессором R7 7840hs или R7 7735hs. Но все равно спасибо за обзор 😊
The 7840hs comes which faster CPU and a much faster RDNA3 Igpu. The R7 7735hs is basically rebranded 6800H, so expect that to be around 10% faster than this ES version
¿Tiene USB 4 (Thunderbolt)?
Yep on the front it's a usb 4 port 40gbps which should also support thunderbolt 3. I haven't validated this myself and compatability with thunderbolt devices might not be the best
@@VrtuhubTech ¡Excelente! Impresionante producto
Game test on different pc games 🤗 please
Its very similar to a 6800hs with its Radeon 680m but slightly slower but much quicker than a Intel n100 or the n305 which is at a similar price to this ES variant
Хорошей обзор на 6800h ES
Thank you, appreciate you!
