Is a mini console really more fragrant than a desktop? Half a year of use experience revealed!

Mondo Digital Updated on 2024-02-01

I don't know if you've found out? As long as the computer is mentioned, many people's first reaction is to go to the computer city to save a machine, a little bit of installation, it is possible to place an order for various accessories online, to assemble an ordinary desktop by yourself, but, to be honest, most people around me still don't know much about computers, can only go offline, and my first assembly desktop, is the first computer city was pitted, at that time I used the old CPU, three-wire miscellaneous power supply, motherboard and so on. Therefore, you have also seen that the current desktop computer is indeed in decline, and most people prefer to buy a brand notebook, but after all, the notebook is still a mobile office, and it is still inconvenient to connect a large-screen monitor at home.

However, I found that since last year, the mini host has slowly become popular, in fact, the mini host has not come out in the past two years, Intel has made this kind of product before, and then slowly many manufacturers have begun to make mini hosts, which are more cost-effective, but a brand that has influence at home and abroad is our domestic brand [Geek], commonly known as "Volume King". I also started to pay attention to the mini host this year.,Last year, I bought a geek K1 has been my main machine for office use.,It's very stable.。 Like Geek's cost-effective model, the Geek K series is also good, and I recently bought a Geek K6 equipped with R7 7840HS processor.

I usually play more games,There has been a rumor in the industry that Intel's computer is more stable than AMD's core processor,I personally think it's not much worse,As long as the manufacturer optimizes the heat dissipation,The experience is no problem,So I've been emphasizing,Don't be greedy to buy miscellaneous brands when buying a mini host,It's really not good to do the heat dissipation of such a small body,The constant high heat pop-up window will affect the user experience very much。 Okay, next, let's take a look at whether this Geek equipped with R7 7840HS processor is good or not?

Let's talk about the appearance, the appearance of the geek K6, and the appearance of the K1 K2 K3 K4 product is very different, the top cover is the Geek logo, the shell is a one-piece ABS plastic material, and the two sides are metal air intake nets with large channels. There are two versions of black and blue, both of which are very good-looking, depending on the personal preference to choose on the line, I bought the blue version, the advantage of this set of molds is, the wireless signal is better, but because it is not a metal body, so, it looks like it lacks a sense of luxury.

The dimensions of the fuselage are 1288*127*51.8mm, the body is very small, it is really small, put it together with the mouse, it seems that the mouse is very large, and the space occupied by the desktop is very small, smaller than the mobile phone. The power supply is an external power supply scheme, and there is no battery inside the fuselage, which everyone should remember and distinguish it from a notebook. In the past, the power supply of the mini host was very large, larger than the main engine, and now the geek has been upgraded to a small power supply, which is about the same size as an ordinary mobile phone charger.

We use the mini host generally directly on the desktop, but the Geek's mini host officially comes with a monitor hanger, you can hang the host behind the monitor, but I use a portable monitor, or put it on the desktop.

In terms of interfaces, there are two USB3 in front2. A type-c (40) interface. The back is a USB20, a USB32, two 25G network port, and a DP14 interfaces, support 4K 144Hz, the other one is HDMI20 interface, support 4K 60Hz. So the two ** interfaces can form a dual-screen display.

After all, the mini host is very small, so many people are very worried about the heat dissipation of the mini host, in fact, I also had this concern at the beginning, but now after all, it has been used for more than a year, and the heat dissipation of the previous host of the geek is not so good, but now this one is better. Mainly in several aspects, the appearance of the fuselage, a lot of heat dissipation has been done, the large channel air intakes on both sides of the fuselage, the air outlet heat dissipation holes on the back, and the heat dissipation holes on the top, the active heat dissipation has been done very well.

In addition, the dual fan design inside the Geek K6, the CPU silent fan on the top cover, and the system fan at the bottom, the CPU, motherboard, memory, and solid-state have done enough active heat dissipation. The heat dissipation is much higher than that of my K1, and it has already gained a good reputation, so there is no need to worry about heat dissipation.

It's also relatively simple to disassemble, you can open the cover with your bare hands, you can see the module of a system fan, unscrew the four screws, you can see the internal structure, in the standard model, the memory and hard disk that Geek gives are all from large manufacturers,

Next, let's boot the test, the mini host needs to be equipped with its own monitor, keyboard and mouse just like the desktop before use. Geek's HDMI interface supports up to 4K 60Hz display output,DP interface can support up to4K 144Hz display,My monitor resolution is1080P,Up to support144HzHigh brush。 However, the geek K6 supports type-C first-line connection.

I'm a geek K6 mini host,I can also run games like the now popular "Genshin Impact", "Crossfire", "Cyberpunk 2077", "Horizon 5", when running Genshin Impact, turn down the picture quality, don't move the resolution, 1080p is enough, if you run "CrossFire", you can run at full speed at 144Hz, and it's no problem to play mainstream online games. Like the phantom beast that has become more popular recently, Pamon can also be played.

Next,Let's use the entertainment master to run a score,By the way, take a look at its core configuration,You can see through the running score,Master Lu is in power balance mode,The running score is160WThe running score,Of which, the CPU running score is as high as 920,000,The graphics card running score will be 170,000,260,000,260,000,250,000 hard disk,It is indeed very performant。

In the CPU-Z test, the TDP power consumption of the R7-7840HS processor is 65W, and the single-core performance score is 6722 points, multi-core performance 70838 points. In terms of running scores, this processor has a thorough performance release and a good multi-core performance.

Memory and hard disk are first-line manufacturers,Memory,It is two Critical 16G DDR5 5600MHz memory modules composed of 32G dual-channel memory,AIDA 64 In the memory read and write test,The memory read speed ran to 61607MB s,The write speed was 74449MB s,The copy speed was 63772MB s,The latency was 91.3ns, good speed.

This 1TB SSD, we passed the CrystalDisk test, and we can see that its read speed reaches 510108mb s with a write speed of 440201mb s, which is also very good.

In terms of GPU, the graphics card of the Geek K6 is the AMD Radeon 780M R7-7840HS, which has 12 cores and a GPU frequency of 2700 MHz.

Through the 3DMark benchmark test, we can see that the AMD Radeon 780M has a total score of 3144 points in the Time SPY (DX12) test, of which the graphics card score is 2790 points.

Finally, let's sum it up. In fact, GeekK6 is equipped with R7-7840HS processor mini host,Positioned as a high-end series of models,From the actual experience,This processor actually has a very strong performance,Mainly in terms of **,Barebones is more2000。

There is also a type-C interface in the interface of the geek K6,It can be connected to the display in one line,It also supports PD power supply (100W required),You can also connect an external graphics card。
