1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,600
we're at the Minnie's Forum booth at computex 2023 and I don't know how they

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:10,380
keep doing it but I saw the last one I was like this is a Mac Mini killer it's

3
00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:14,340
cheaper than the Mac Mini it's faster than the Mac Mini and you know what they

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:19,140
have another one that is basically the same price as a Mac Mini with no storage

5
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:21,900
and whatnot but it is even more faster

6
00:00:19,140 --> 00:00:26,519
it's got rdna3 graphics and Zen 4 cores that turbo to over five gigahertz in a

7
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:29,580
box it's an eighth of a shoe box that's how small this thing is and we're gonna

8
00:00:28,019 --> 00:00:33,480
tear it apart we're gonna see how fast it goes assuming we can get a monitor

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:38,940
from ASUS shout out ASUS the last one we checked out was called the um 773 well

10
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:41,820
this is the um 790 Pro on the front

11
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:45,120
we've got a power button two USB 440 gigabit ports is that microphone

12
00:00:43,379 --> 00:00:48,920
microphone headphone combo Jack there's a little reset button and then I assume

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:53,700
that's a power indicator on the side mesh because this is a 54 watt Max TDP

14
00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:57,899
CPU which is actually the same amount of power as the littler one that we looked

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,860
at but it's Zen four it's already in A3 it's going to be quite a bit faster on

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,360
the back the thing that I love about these mini forums things there's just so

17
00:01:04,019 --> 00:01:10,320
much I o i it's kind of ridiculous I talked about in the AVerMedia thing that

18
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:15,360
you could use this as a streaming PC you seriously seriously could 2.5 gigabit

19
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:20,040
Lan always nice to see this time we have two USB HDMI 2.1 ports which was a bit

20
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:24,659
of a gripe on the last one hopefully we can actually do high refresh rate output but the monitor that ASUS has found now

21
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:30,720
is pro art so I don't know if it's high refresh rate it's probably not a high refresh rate right

22
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:32,700
probably 60 hertz okay well

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,960
that's fine having any monitor is better than nothing for power it's a 19 volt

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,680
power brick we had a bit of a last minute tragedy they don't have the power

25
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:45,000
break for this thing so I sent Sasha on a wild goose chase to find a 19 volt

26
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:48,720
power brick which conveniently is a kind of a standard for monitors and laptops

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,140
and they did find one but it's only 90 watts and they were saying that the

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:57,360
usual power brick for this is 120. I'm hoping because it's 55-ish Watts that

29
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:01,079
will be okay but we're just gonna have to wait and see because there is still

30
00:01:58,740 --> 00:02:04,619
storage and stuff to consider on the side over here we've got a bunch of 10

31
00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:07,619
gig type A ports which is again awesome lots of i o

32
00:02:06,299 --> 00:02:11,760
that's pretty much it on the outside Sleek packaging the outside of this one

33
00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:15,120
is a nice kind of it looks like a sandblasted kind of aluminum finish it

34
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:19,379
feels a lot more premium than the other one and to be fair there is a bit of a

35
00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:24,000
price premium but you're getting a lot more performance and there is a lot more

36
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:28,319
interesting stuff going on inside so why don't we crack it open it comes off it's

37
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,500
sticky oh my God I said this in the last video I really think that these

38
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:35,099
shouldn't be sticky they should have some other way to mount because then you

39
00:02:33,239 --> 00:02:39,360
can't reuse it it's fine you can buy this thing as a Bare Bones kit with no

40
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:43,680
RAM and no CPU this one has 32 gigs of RAM and 512 gigs of storage but on their

41
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:48,840
website you can configure it as high as one terabyte with 64 gigs of RAM or as

42
00:02:46,019 --> 00:02:53,400
low as 16 gigs of RAM with 512 gigs of storage oh look at that

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,580
uh okay there's a little cable oh there's two cables oh there's many

44
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,180
cables I guess this thing has two fans actually this is the fan on the back and

45
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:06,060
there's a completely different fan for the cooler this uh fan and heatsink is

46
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:12,420
to cool the m.2 ssds there's a fan in here and a heat sink and then um thermal

47
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:17,040
pads okay I got the fan cable but there is also Wi-Fi antennas but they're

48
00:03:14,519 --> 00:03:21,420
underneath the ssds 512 gig Gen 4 Kingston Drive and what you might notice

49
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:26,099
there's two gen 4 slots instead of just one that means in theory you could run

50
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,159
Raid 0 which would be kind of insane on a device like this I probably wouldn't

51
00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:31,920
recommend that or Raid one so you could have a little bit of I guess sort of

52
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:37,680
redundancy um in your boot Drive which is always nice although raid one is usually not

53
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,819
too heavy because there's not really any parity data to calculate so it's

54
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,620
probably okay over here we've got a slot for the Wi-Fi card oh my God this does

55
00:03:44,099 --> 00:03:51,180
support USBC power does this support USB power

56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,220
no we spend so much time trying to find

57
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:57,360
a power brick Oh my God okay I don't even have time to be like distraught

58
00:03:54,900 --> 00:04:01,500
that's great though I mean you can run it on type c I have 140 watt power brick

59
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:06,120
in my bag we should use that then we can use the high refresh rate monitor 140

60
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:10,080
watt we're good thanks to Sweetwater for sponsoring this

61
00:04:08,099 --> 00:04:14,220
video when we need to upgrade our audio gear at LMG we can count on the fine

62
00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:18,120
folks at Sweetwater to carry the latest and greatest whether it's mics

63
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:22,260

personalized gear advice sound clearer crisper and cleaner with Sweet Water

67
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:39,500
check them out of the link below alright for RAM we have our two 16 gig sticks

68
00:04:37,020 --> 00:04:44,160
because this is N4 this is should be ddr5 let's put it back in there's two

69
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:47,220
sticks they're both removable so you totally can service this thing you

70
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:53,759
totally can upgrade this thing speaking of the CPU it's a ryzen 97940 HS which

71
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:58,800
is kind of like a mobile laptop SKU 8 core 16 thread base clock of 4 gigahertz

72
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:04,380
and turbos to a Max of 5.2 which is kind of ridiculous it is configurable TDP so

73
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,820
35 watts to 54 Watts they put this little plastic piece on there to protect

74
00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:12,300
the antenna connectors so stupid people don't rip them off when they're taking

75
00:05:10,139 --> 00:05:17,699
it apart this is very smart let's start going further they're all looking

76
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:18,840
nervous now still seems very in there oh

77
00:05:17,699 --> 00:05:23,580
yeah there we go it's just the ports kind of hold it

78
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:28,979
fitted in there oh my God it's so close yeah I give up I

79
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,520
chipped the edge of the PCB there's nothing there but I give up we have nine

80
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:36,360
minutes to put it back together boot it into Windows try to uh I don't know

81
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:39,300
probably not play a game the internet's too slow to play a game here but we can

82
00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:44,759
at least run cinebench or something let's see if it still turns on on the

83
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:47,160
website it says PDN let's try it

84
00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:51,479
it's lit up hopefully this cable doesn't light on fire it's 140 watt brick so it

85
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,919
should be okay for some perspective of the performance of this processor and

86
00:05:53,639 --> 00:06:01,020
everything compared to the um 773 that we looked at before it's 15 faster

87
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,020
single threaded and around 20 faster overall look it's booted into Windows

88
00:06:02,460 --> 00:06:09,300
look just like that the USB power works and if you want to

89
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:14,639
compare it to like a desktop CPU it's about a couple percent slower than a 13

90
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:20,699
600k single threaded which is kind of mind-blowing I mean look at this 13600k

91
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:23,160
is 125 watt TDP CPU that really runs it

92
00:06:20,699 --> 00:06:27,360
more like 200 Watts so this is kind of nuts okay can we get high refresh rate

93
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:35,039
if we can't it's definitely not the monitor's fault I assure you unless Sasha brought me a bunk monitor oh my

94
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:38,100
God 1080p 240 no way look at that this

95
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:40,440
thing is Tiny oh my God why'd you bring

96
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:44,160
me a 1080p monitor what the hell I'm just kidding it's actually good

97
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,340
because this system is you would want a game at 1080p if you're

98
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:51,840
in a game at all okay let's get uh cinebench these downloads are not

99
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:56,460
stressing the Wi-Fi 60 killer chip in here at all we're probably getting like

100
00:06:54,120 --> 00:07:00,479
one megabyte down for sure oh no 2.5 that's not bad and we're downloading

101
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:04,080
steam at like one megabyte a second oh God

102
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:07,020
oh God that's not a good sound that says we're closing the convention

103
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:11,280
Halls type of sound we're downloading stuff right now too

104
00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:16,319
this is not a perfect science by any stretch of the imagination

105
00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:18,840
five gigabytes a second sick so it looks

106
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:22,680
like read speeds uh sequentially about five gigabytes a second read 3.5

107
00:07:20,699 --> 00:07:27,360
gigabytes a second right uh you could probably go faster if you put a faster

108
00:07:24,599 --> 00:07:31,740
SSD this is just like a Kingston uh OEM kind of SSD let's see how fast our

109
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:36,240
memory is running at 5600 look at that and there's our CPU look at all those

110
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:39,479
cores you can see base speed four gigahertz

111
00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:42,840
and we're running at 4.25 right now which is pretty cool all right cinebench

112
00:07:41,099 --> 00:07:48,479
let's go multi-core let's watch the Power 55 look at that 54

113
00:07:46,020 --> 00:07:52,319
Watts it's the full TDP it doesn't even care we're barely

114
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:57,599
cracking like 70 something degrees Yeah full power CPU 54 Watts that's a lot a

115
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:02,039
lot of power in a little package like this this is a really hard area to

116
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:05,699
evaluate noise because this they're playing music like get the hell out of

117
00:08:03,539 --> 00:08:09,660
the convention center but I'm trying to hear it

118
00:08:07,860 --> 00:08:14,220
you can hear it you can definitely hear it it's kicking off a lot of heat it's

119
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:18,419
definitely ripping if you look at the core temperatures the hottest core got

120
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:21,599
up to 76 degrees Celsius and it still really wasn't that loud

121
00:08:20,099 --> 00:08:29,039
look at that score it is as fast as a first generation

122
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:31,560
threadripper 16 core faster than a 7700k

123
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:35,459
by almost three times that literally these cores there's half of them

124
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,719
remember as this red Ripper they are twice as fast given that there's half of

125
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:43,800
them this is ridiculous yeah look at that okay it's

126
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:50,220
4 000 single threaded which is about the same as a 13600 it's also about the same

127
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:52,740
as a 13700 uh the CPU score almost 31

128
00:08:50,220 --> 00:08:58,260
000 multi-threaded is very very fast I think that's a pretty close to a 12 700k

129
00:08:56,580 --> 00:09:03,000
it's mind-boggling because this is so small

130
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:07,260
we can run 3D Mark I guess

131
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,459
it's a GTX 780 scores about an 8 000 in

132
00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:14,339
this test this scores about a 7700 so it's kind of

133
00:09:11,339 --> 00:09:17,339
in the the range of a GTX 780 which is

134
00:09:14,339 --> 00:09:20,279
an old cart but this is also basically

135
00:09:17,339 --> 00:09:24,120
integrated Graphics in a tiny PC so if your 780 could run it this probably can

136
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,600
I like the last one because it was so cheap this is still pretty inexpensive

137
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,560
when you consider the performance and it's got a nice aluminum chassis it's

138
00:09:29,459 --> 00:09:36,480
sick I love mini PCS I seriously think that with a USB capture card this could

139
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:40,700
be a sick streaming PC I'm sure you could game on it too rdna3 Graphics I

140
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,060
really did want to try that but regardless check them out in the link in

141
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,060
the description uh you can buy it Bare Bones you can buy it with RAM you can

142
00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:52,860
buy it with ssds whatever you want you can get two ssds if you want if you like

143
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:56,640
this video like it get subscribed check out the Corsair or the AVerMedia short

144
00:09:54,420 --> 00:10:00,860
circuit I just did a computex and um yeah subscribe because we will have more

145
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,860
computex videos
