Hey there. You're weighing the i9K versus the i7K for your HP Z2 Mini G9. (Weekends seem to offer better deals on HP custom orders.) From our TechPowerUp chat, it looks like the i9K edges out the i7K in low-power situations, especially when noise matters. I’d favor the i9K if you can tweak the power limits to keep things quiet. For the i7K, you might be able to adjust the settings a bit less. You’re curious about whether the Z2 Mini G9 supports Intel XTU (or ThrottleStop) to modify PL1, PL2, and PL3 values. The review video you found shows the advanced screen with editable fields at around 8:02, but it doesn’t confirm if those settings are saved or just visible. If you can fine-tune those numbers, staying quiet is key for you. Otherwise, the i7K could be a safer pick. Thanks!
