- Minisforum AtomMan G1 Pro packs a desktop-grade GPU into a chassis that struggles with thermal headroom
- Four 4K displays push signal routing and thermal stability together
- Vertical airflow theory sounds solid until dust buildup enters daily use
The Minisforum AtomMan G1 Pro mini PC is built around an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX and a desktop RTX 5060 GPU, a pairing usually reserved for much larger systems.
On paper, this places the device near the lower edge of traditional workstation performance, making it suitable for AAA gaming and basic 3D workloads.
The AtomMan G1 Pro features a 350-watt power supply, suggesting limited headroom once both the CPU and GPU approach sustained load.

Tight thermal limits
Cooling is handled by a vertical airflow layout using wide fans, copper heat pipes, and dual exhaust paths.
Minisforum claims that its heat dissipation is close to 300 watts, a figure that leaves little margin for inefficiency or component aging.
In compact systems, thermal limits tend to surface under long workloads rather than short benchmarks, which makes real-world performance difficult to predict from specifications alone.
The system provides several DisplayPort and HDMI outputs, supporting up to four 4K displays.

However, compact systems often share internal controllers across several ports, which can introduce bandwidth limits under simultaneous heavy use.
The inclusion of several high-resolution display outputs further increases pressure on internal routing once all interfaces are active at the same time.
At this scale, even minor airflow disruption can affect overall reliability, which is probably a downside.
The device uses a vertical white tower form with a wave-textured side panel and a slim front light strip.
The front I/O is placed along a single edge to reduce surface disruption. The upright layout reduces desk footprint and keeps the hardware visible rather than hidden.
This design departs from the familiar low-profile mini PC format and instead borrows from the styling of compact speakers or audio gear.
While this may suit mixed living and work spaces visually, the vertical design also concentrates heat around fewer exhaust zones.
