In the field of mini hosts, when it comes to the most versatile products of the same size, many players would cast their votes for the FN60G from FEVM. This small host, with a volume of only 2.5L, can easily replace any desktop Core processor from the 12th to 14th generation and can choose from four discrete graphics cards (mobile versions): RX 550, Radeon A380, RX 6600M, and RTX 4060. Its DIY capabilities are truly unmatched.
Now, FEVM has brought an upgraded version of this product, the FN60G WE liquid cooling discrete graphics mini workstation. Compared to its predecessor, the new product with the WE suffix still has an all-aluminum alloy body, which is outstanding in quality. The length and width remain the same (both are 168mm), but the height has increased significantly (from 103mm to 137mm), resulting in an overall volume increase from 2.5L to 3.8L. The body color has also changed from bright silver to black, giving it a more stable and understated appearance.
The core competitiveness of FN60G WE is its support for self-installation and replacement of LGA1700 platform, 12th to 14th generation Core desktop processors. It is equipped with a custom 120 all-in-one CPU liquid cooling system from Lian Li, consisting of a 4th generation pump and a TL-C12015 fan, allowing the CPU to maintain a stable output of 125W while managing noise and temperature.
In terms of graphics cards, you can choose between AMD Radeon 6600M, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 or 4090 mobile versions.
This section uses a cooling system composed of 4 copper pipes and a turbine fan, with a maximum power release of 115W. At this power level, the 4060 can output 99% of its performance, while the 4090 can exert more than 80% of its capabilities.
By unscrewing the screws at the bottom, you can remove the bottom cover to see a fan that assists in cooling the memory and hard drive, as well as dual memory slots and dual M.2 hard drive slots, offering upgrade capabilities similar to other performance-level mini hosts.
This product has a rich array of interfaces, with the front panel equipped with USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), USB 2.0, an SD card reader, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps), and audio interfaces.
The back of the host is divided into two parts: the upper part comes from the discrete graphics card, featuring USB-C, HDMI, and 2 DP ports. The speed standards vary slightly depending on the graphics card model, with the C port combining video, data, and 15W power supply functions, allowing for a single cable connection to a portable screen.
The lower part of the interfaces comes from the motherboard, including 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps), 2 USB 2.0, 2 2.5G network ports, HDMI, and a power socket. The wireless network card can also install an external antenna to ensure signal stability.
In summary, the FEVM FN60G WE remains a high-performance mini workstation that emphasizes differentiation. It is also one of the rare products that can provide selectable desktop processors in a compact 3.8L space, along with rich interfaces, expansion capabilities, liquid cooling support, and a dual power release of 240W, which is considered top-tier among similar products. Currently, the FN60G WE with the 6600M base system is priced at 3999 yuan (excluding processor, memory, and hard drive), the RTX 4060 version base system is 5099 yuan, and the top configuration with the 4090 version has not yet officially launched. If you have some DIY experience, I personally recommend the base system with the 4060 discrete graphics card, paired with a processor of i5-14600KF level, which is sufficient to tackle the various challenges faced by mobile mini workstations.
