Performance is very impressive.At minimum settings, this minipc can actually play sc2 (non-arcade maps) at 60fps.I pair it up with an Akitio Node (eGPU enclosure) + GTX 1070. I never had CPU throttling issues even with turbo-boost off.It matches my purpose perfectly, since it seems that almost no games are actually bottlenecked by even a dual-core CPU!Fan noise with turbo enabled is quite annoying. I wouldn't say it's particularly loud, but it's pretty high-pitched, so it's hard to block out with noise-isolating ear phones. This isn't a problem for me because, so far at least, there has not been a need for turbo-boost.
