Three months ago, mini PC manufacturer MinisForum released information about an AMD B550 chipset mini PC. According to the press release, the mini PC will support a CPU with no integrated graphics card so it will have to support a dedicated GPU although they didn’t talk about which GPU will be equipped in the mini PC. Today there is some new information about it.
The mini PC’s custom motherboard has a PCIe connector that can be used to connect with a dedicated graphics card with the help of a supporting dock (dock is included in the package). The motherboard also has two M.2 2280 SSD slots that support NGFF SATA and NVMe PCIe3.0.
There are two ways to power the PC. If you use AMD APU like 5600G or 5700G, there is a standard 19V power brick included in the package and you can use it directly without using the supporting dock. However, if you want to do some DIY and connect it with a dedicated graphics card, you will need to use your ATX or SFX power supply. By doing so you can use a desktop CPU like 5600X in this mini PC and the whole system’s power consumption will be more than 600W. It has a cooling solution that supports 65W TDP.

According to Minisforum, the system will come with both SFF/ATX PSUs with 120W power consumption and can be expanded up to 1000W depending on the configuration you choose. The B550 chipset will power the platform, which will feature PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. A 120W Gallium Nitride adapter with an ATX (SFX) power supply for a 12V (only) connector will provide the necessary power. The following are some of the characteristics of the Minisforum B550 Mini PC:
- The motherboard is exclusively customizable
- DIY support； ATX or SFX power supply can power both the mini pc and graphics card separately
- It has good cooling performance and supports a 65W TDP CPU in quiet condition;
- PCIe3.0 X16 connector(*To use this function, you need to use the supporting docking board)
- 4K video, enough for office use, plus all configurations come with a free expansion dock to support regular discrete graphics, fast rendering, accelerated editing, and large games
The Minisforum B550 Mini PC has yet to be priced or made available, however, the base configuration should cost roughly $899 to $999 US. Users will have to buy their CPU, GPU, power supply, and storage.
