I’m using s-tui to stress the CPU. It provides a convenient frontend to the stress utility.
Obviously the N100 consumes the fewest watts under full load, but it’s a snail compared to the other machines.
I repeat the chart but this time the BOSGAME machine (as well as the Minisforum machine) has the power limit mode set to Performance Mode.
The maximum power consumption drawn when all system components are stressed is considerably higher for all machines.

Interesting!
i have 2 of these 1 maxed out with 64gig of ram plus
two 4tb m.2 and it goes like lightning. it recognises the yottamaster 42tb
and also a 4 bay 40tb ugreen nas and also an old lexmark c746dn
i am using linux mint plug them all in turn on and
every thing just no external drivers needed. i got in touch with bosgame
to find out whether i can us 96gig sticks and she said yes but that is maximum
just thought i wold let you know well worth the cash.
My minisforum mini PC goes a lot faster.
And is probably more expensive.
which one have you got?
I’ve got the Minisforum AI X1 Pro. I bought it after reading the series on this site. It’s an awesome mini PC. I’ve got 3 Crucial 4TB NVMe SSDs in it and 128GB of RAM.
The MediaTek Wi-Fi isn’t the finest so I replaced that. It’s now amazing in every respect.
yep iv’e got 64 gig on mine and two 4tb m.2ssd
iv’e also got a bosgame egpu 6700m xt for games over oculink
i was looking at the minisforum AI X1 pro
i did buy the minisforun AI X1 bear bones it is nice. put in 32gig and a 2tb drive runs quit well on ollama on gemma3. i am talking about my m4 plus now.
how fast is it mine is pretty quick on the igpu i am getting 30fps on furmark on the 6700m xt i am getting 130 fps
blue tooth is very good in the garden it began to stutter
but that trough 2 brick walls and about 10 more feet
and i say it is worth every penny
i don/t use my main pc much now
