About this deal

On the Minisforum Elitemini B550 Mini PC you can find high speed and reliable WiFi 6 and Bluetooth with a 2.5Gb ethernet for the best in data transmission. There is a USB Type-C Gen 2 port and four USB 3.2 for peripheral connectivity. This works because the B550 Pro mini PC itself has a PCIe 3.0 x16 connector on the bottom of the computer. Place the system inside the external case and that connector attaches to the PCIe 3.0 interface in the case, allowing you to plug a graphics card. By giving two options, this solution is somewhat a hybrid between a Mini-PC and a typical desktop system. It can either be powered by bundled 19V power supply if the discrete GPU is not attached or alternatively powered by ATX or SFX (12V) power supply. But the computer also has a modular design that allows you put the mini PC inside an external case to connect an external graphics card, and additional storage, among other things.

Up to 64GB of DDR4 Dual Channel RAM can be installed. The Minisforum Elitemini B550 has support for up to 2TB M.2 2280 SSD with an additional slot for extra storage. There is also space inside the mini PC for a 2.5” HDD or SSD for additional storage. As a standalone home or office mini PC, the Minisforum B550 is great! It scores very high in our system benchmarks. For your everyday tasks whether in the home for work or gaming, or the office for work, it will handle them with no issues.

We get a maximum read speed of 3,257 MB/s and a write speed of 2,876 MB/s. It is a little lower than we usually see with this SSD which is generally in the 3,500 read / 3000 write area.

The B550’s CPU DIY mode enables you to replace the CPU in your system. B550 supports AMD Ryzen 4000/5000 series CPUs with a TDP of 65W or below (but not 5950X/5900X/5800X). Please choose the most appropriate CPU from the list based on your requirements. The Minisforum Elitemini B550 mini PC features the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G processor with 8 Cores and 16 Threads running up to 4.6GHz. It also has the Radeon Graphics running up to 2100Mhz for high performance video and 3D rendering. The basic configuration of the Minisforum EliteMini B550 without an external graphics card manages to outperform both the EliteMini TH50 and the EliteMini HM90. But once we compare it with the Minisforum EliteMini HX things become a little more challenging. With just a few percentage points separating the two, the difference is not really noticeable. However, once a dedicated graphics card is in play, that is no longer the case. Our choice of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 is representative of a card at the upper end of mid-range products of this kind. As such, it provides the Minisforum EliteMini B550 with some serious legs when it comes to graphics performance. The performance improvement of a dedicated graphics card over the iGPU is simply enormous. In spite of this, this pairing still lines up behind the Zotac ZBOX Magnus EN173070C performance-wise.We continue the Minisforum B550 review with some gameplay benchmarks. We will be testing with the B550’s internal Radeon graphics, the Radeon RX 6400 and the Geforce 3070 TI external graphics cards.

Performance of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 in conjunction with the Miniforum EliteMini B550 is at about the same level as one of our test systems built on an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X. Differences due to any limitations of the graphics card are barely noticeable at higher resolution levels. The higher IPC of the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X versus the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is only apparent at lower resolution levels. We tested the same graphics card in an eGPU case connected via Thunderbolt and found that performance was 25 percent higher than on a Minsiforum EliteMini TH50. MINISFORUM says there’s room in the case for graphics cards up to 300mm (11.8 inches) in length. And the company also equips the large case with a SilverStone SFX 650W power supply, so it shouldn’t have trouble driving power for the AMD processor and a discrete GPU..

Performance

Measuring only 7.4 x 6.5 x 2.6 inches (15.8 x 16.65 x 6.7 cm) and weighing 1129 grams, the Minisforum Elitemini B550 mini PC takes up minimal space on your desktop and is also very portable for travelling between office meetings or longer term travel.
