I’m looking to replace my aging PC that is almost 10 years old. I’ve been looking at the Minisforum NPB7 and the Minisforum HX99G. I use my computer mostly for YouTube, Minecraft and browsing the web. My concern is, can these mini PCs handle these basic tasks? From my research and reviews, I think they can… Just looking for confirmation. Thanks!

    Beware of overheating…

    The very small cases with tiny little fans can only dissipate so much heat.

    If you’re Minecrafting for an extended period you may have either therma throttling, or, what I had which was a POP and smell of burning CPU.

    I think it was because I’d set the BIOS to run the fans quietly rather than in performance mode (i.e. loud).

    Just bear that in mind.

      That’s what I read in the reviews For previous models, I haven’t read anything about the HX99G. The case is a little bigger that other mini PCs.
