Storage Devices
Geekom has equipped the Mini IT12 with a familiar 512 GB NVMe SSD from Kingston, a model we have seen in action in other systems. This SSD uses the NVMe interface, is equipped with QLC memory, and is connected with PCIe 4.0x4. However, in the test, the SSD falls behind its competitors, as some of them are fitted with significantly faster SSDs. Nevertheless, in everyday use, there should be no noticeable reduction in performance. The write and read rates are fast enough, and installing test programs was completed quickly. Thanks to passive cooling via the base plate, the SSD copes well with continuous load, and we did not notice any drop in performance under load. The Geekom Mini IT12 can accommodate up to three mass storage devices, including another SSD in M.2-2242 format and a 2.5-inch mass storage device, observing a maximum height of 7 millimeters.

Gaming Performance - iGPU
The poor 3D performance of the Intel UHD Graphics does not make playing complicated 3D games on the Geekom Mini IT12 fun. This small PC's main interest is not gaming. There are restrictions to playing casual games to pass the time. If gaming performance is a priority, the Minisforum UM790 Pro with AMD Radeon 780M or the Geekom AS 6 with AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX and AMD Radeon 680M may be better choices. Additionally, for those looking for a tiny PC with a dedicated graphics card, the Minisforum HX77G and Minisforum NUCXi7 are worth considering.

3D performance via eGPU-Dock with Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Because the Geekom Mini IT12 has two USB 4 ports, we compare its performance with the Razer Core X and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. With this combo, 3D performance may be considerably enhanced. Due to the bandwidth constraint (PCIe x4 3.0), the performance of the dedicated graphics card is not equivalent to that of a traditional desktop machine. In the test, we found that the performance was comparable to that of other Mini PCs evaluated with the same accessories. Essentially, this combo works wonderfully. With this addon, many games may be played smoothly, with acceptable frame rates and maximum details.

Emissions - Efficient with questionable fan control
System Noise
Our test sample of the Geekom Mini IT12 doesn't perform well in volume measurements. Even at idle, we recorded 36.5 dB(A), which is notably louder compared to others. Additionally, the fan noise is high-pitched, further increasing the subjective perception of the noise level. Under average load, the sound pressure level increases only minimally, reaching a peak of 47.5 dB(A). In the BIOS, users can choose between the Silent, Auto, and Performance profiles, but this also changes the processor's power limits. The lack of an option to define power limits separately from the fan speed is puzzling. It's recommended that Geekom address this issue to significantly reduce the noise level. The Geekom Mini IT12 with the Intel Core i7-1260P showed improvement in this aspect.

Temperature
The casing of the Geekom Mini IT12 only warms up slightly during idle, with warmer areas becoming noticeable under load. The maximum temperature during the stress test is a harmless 106.52 °F. The Intel Core i5-12450H draws 35 watts under continuous load, a value consistently maintained throughout the stress test. Although the SoC briefly reaches 53 watts at the beginning, resulting in a maximum temperature of 185 °F, it appears the manufacturer has set a limit, as the CPU temperature settles at a stable 163.4 °F, below the maximum power limit of 80 watts in any benchmark.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 41.4 °C / 107 F, compared to the average of 35.5 °C / 96 F, ranging from 26 to 69.5 °C for the class Mini PC.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 39.1 °C / 102 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 27.5 °C / 82 F, compared to the device average of 32.2 °C / 90 F.
Power Consumption
Geekom has intentionally limited the processor's power with certain constraints, resulting in the Mini IT12 being highly energy-efficient in both idle and load conditions. Power consumption in idle mode ranges from 5.5 to 11.3 watts. While the 90-watt power supply may briefly need to deliver just under 87 watts, this doesn't pose an issue. On average, the Geekom Mini IT12 consumes slightly over 40 watts, showcasing excellent energy efficiency compared to its competitors.

Verdict - Economical office PC with good features
The Geekom Mini IT12 proves to be a reliable mini PC suitable for home use. Featuring the Intel Core i5-12450H, it handles most everyday tasks seamlessly. Its extensive connectivity options make it versatile for various applications, and it smoothly accommodates external graphics cards. In a comparison with the Intel Core i7-1260P variant of the same model, the tested device falls short. While, on paper, the similarly equipped Minisforum Venus Series UN1245 and NiPoGi CK10 don't quite match the Geekom Mini IT12, real-world performance differences are minimal and often imperceptible. Geekom gains a significant edge in connectivity, featuring the modern USB 4 port—a feature lacking in its competitors.
The Geekom Mini IT12 is a compact workhorse with broad applicability, enhanced by its excellent connectivity, even supporting external graphics cards.
Geekom maintains its consistent quality in craftsmanship and design. However, a fresh look could add distinction to their devices. The notable criticism of our test unit is the audible fan noise, a concern not present in our testing of the Mini IT12 with Intel Core i7-1260P. It remains to be seen whether the manufacturer will address this through a BIOS update. If fan noise is a concern, opting for the Intel Core i7-1260P model, if available, might be a preferable choice. Any improvements from the producer will be duly reflected in our future tests.
