Well basically it. At first the PC was awesome, played A LOT, even bought an eGPU with oculink and was even better.

My gf needed a PC so i build a simple one and used my GPU and left her with the miniPC itself, was working good until it started dropping keyboard/mouse/webcam and kept freezing, at first like once per day, until the point that happened like twice per hour (mostly on iGPU intance usage). So i readded the eGPU oculink and was good for like two months and started happening again. And last night i heard like a small coil wine and i unplug it and it stopped and left it like that.

Updated the bios, format windows/linux, new ssd, new rams, nothing helped.

Any ideas would be welcome

Hi guys, I a question, I want to connect an additional fan on the side of my Acemagic Amr5, the door is prepared to host a 40mm fan, but I don't know where to connect it, and I don't want additional usb cables, do you know what Voltage comes out of the RGB LED connectors? Could I be able to get the 5v from there?

Any devices out with Thunderbolt 5 that aren't a Mac?

Ok, I have a beelink ser5, that I use primarily for gaming etc. I have a 3d printer in my garage and my laptop I used for it died. . . I'd like to replace it with a mini , but I'm unsure what I should use. I was looking at the beemax b1 mini, with 8gb ram and an intel jasper lake, for 100usd what is the smallest I could get away with? I was eyeballing the meLe minis, but unsure if they would handle the rendering well. . . Looking for the cheapest, smallest, feasible device due to limited bench space. . .

How long does it usually take for gmktec to ship to the UK?

Just curious, if anyone has recently ordered a GMTek off Amazon, and how long it took for them to even process the order…

Still waiting on mine to process/ship, as it has not yet and I still have yet to be charged due to how Amazon charges.

I've had one for about a week now and wanted to share my experience.

So far I like it. I replaced stock paste with Arctic MX-6, updated bios to enable 1200 MHz GPU, and enabled C-states in bios to enable 3.6 GHz turbo.

Some observations:

• Wifi performance is good enough. I've had terrible experience with other brand mini PCs [I have a Minisforum UM780 XTX and stock, the 2.4 GHz wifi and bluetooth is terrible. RF design is very bad. I had to mod it with external antennae]. Thankfully this little one has no wifi / bluetooth RF issues. Great! No modding required.
• Max non-turbo multiplier is 29 (2886MHz), turbo is 35 (3482MHz). There is no option in the bios to manually change these. I'd like to set max non-turbo to 32 or 33, but there's just no way to do it sadly.
• Turbo is only enabled when you enable c-states in bios. C-states are disabled by default.
• With the re-paste and default fan settings in bios, it does not thermally throttle. After 15 minutes of benching, highest temps I've recorded is 83 degC.
• You can power it with any USB PD power brick and cable. Stock PSU is 12v, but G5 negotiates 15v with a PD phone charger. I thought you needed a 12v PD trigger, but that is not necessary.
• From the USB-A ports, I can only get 0.55 amps sustained out of them. It can peak to 0.7amps but drops but down. For this reason, it does not power my Verbatim 43888 drive (needs up to 1A when disks are spinning up, then 0.7A sustained when reading). Dongles and USB sticks are fine, external SSD enclosures and drives are not without using a powered hub. I feel like this is an important point people should be aware of.
• Fan has started to develop a little whine / screech but it's very quiet and I only hear it up close. For longevity, I'm not sure how long this part will last.

Overall, for the price, I like it. I just wish it had more power available at the USB ports to properly power my accessories correctly [like all my other PCs can].

I've just discovered Mini PCs exist and I was planning to order an RTX 3050 i5 asus tuf laptop for 850 usd only to find an RTX 4050 i9 mini pc for 900 usd, I thought this was a sweeter deal but what do you guys think? I plan to use either for moderate gaming (gta 5, doom eternal, minecraft) and 3d rendering (blender)

I just recently purchased the dock and made sure I properly seated the GPU and wired the PSU

When oculinked into my GMK K8 Plus it turns on when the mini pc is powered on; however, I cannot turn the dock on independently ((the power button doesn’t work))

I’ve also never got it to display on DP so far. Have I done something wrong?

I'm looking for a mini pc for gaming for the kids mostly fortnite type requirements but with room to play others like those listed here https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/tpj3px/amd_radeon_680m_gaming_test_collection_az_with_35/

I found these but in similar price range is one better than the other?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/BOSGAME-P3-Gaming-Computer-Windows/dp/B0D9QGRD77

Would the extra cost for these versions i.e 780M vs 680M etc be worth it?

Or can someone recommend another mini pc that would be up to the job?

I turned hibernate to never, made sure BIOS WOL is enabled. The BT kb/mouse combo works on BeeLink but it doesn't work on GMKTec. I've also set the power to Best Performance. The USB keyboard wakes it up though not the bluetooth

anyone experiencing the same problem?

The biggest problem of miniPC is you can't carry a big screen anywhere if you wanna use it when you travel to somewhere. Now only if you just use the TV in hotel's room as your screen... Perfect gaming experience! This one I got can run most of the games I have on my PC at home.

I just want a PC that runs the sims 4, marvel rivals, the last of us and baldur's gate 3 that is relatively cheap and preferably on Amazon if anyone can help me with what I want thank you!

Hello I have a AtomMan x7 with minisforum deg1 EGPU and no gpu detected over oculink. GPU turns on and off with the PC. Turned GPU iton first then PC will not see the GPU to install drivers.

Oculink is on in Bios and connected with cable provided.

Any advice.

Looking for something for my mom. She mostly does YouTube and web browsing - so lots of tabs :)

Budget $225 +/- $25.

16-32GB, Windows, 256GB HDD is sufficient. Ethernet/wifi are both ok. Preferable VESA mountable to mount on rear of monitor.

Not a fan of refurbished office PCs since you never know what state they’re really in.

Does anyone know where I can purchase one? I'm flying out soon and I want to protect it as much as possible

Minisforum just released BD795M which is an improvement version over BD790i. It does not the air cooler so we can add our own air cooler or water cooler.

I'm trying to add an SSD to my UXX X20 and it won't even power up when the SSD is installed. It's a Samsung 960 PRO and it doesn't fit perfectly in the m2 slot on the mobo... I'm assuming that's my issue ? The small tab doesn't have proper clearance.. any workarounds or other possibilities here ? One consideration would be to file that section of the SSD down... But I hesitate

Hi all!
I’m looking for a mini gaming PC that delivers the best performance for dota2 and cs2. Any recommendations?

Looking for a mini pc with a decent intel cpu (like 12th gen or something), 1tb ssd and 36gb of either ddr4 or 5 ram. If these specs are even possible with mini pcs, I’m not knowledgeable when it comes to mini pcs. It also has to be under 500 pound sterling preferably under 400 pound sterling.

As the title suggests I'm torn between these two machines. Both 16gb DDR5 with the main difference being N305 vs N100 and the UN305 not having expandable RAM.
I decided I would want DDR5 due to the slight performance improvements even on N100 machines. Dual LAN isn't necessary.

I'm looking to run: Home Assistant, Jellyfin and Immich.

Would I benefit from the extra processing from the 305? I'm worried about being limited to 16gb as a result though.

UN305C $170 vs $190 for the G5.

Is there another machine I should consider?

Are there any significant differences between the OEM Crucial RAM that Beelink typically install in the SER5 Pro, and aftermarket Crucial RAM from one of their kits?

I’ve purchased (but not yet opened) a SER5 Pro 5850U with 16GB RAM. It’s for homelab / Proxmox / Linux VMs etc, so I was considering an upgrade to 32Gb anyway.

I’ve since spotted a deal on 32GB SER5 for about £30 extra than the 16GB version (which I can return / exchange).

It seems like a no-brainer, but I’m aware many folks prefer bare-bones, so was wondering if OEM-grade ‘branded’ RAM is poor quality / timings?

Thanks.

So the mediatek MT 7902 suck, the wifi range Is terrible and It's also very prone to loose the signal unless you out the minipc literally under your router (So at this point i could just use an RJ45 cable instead) any suggestion on a wifi card to replace it?

I am looking for all round best supplier off Amazon. Beelink seems to be mentioned here often. The model I am looking at is by Trigkey, but I do not see a lot of things saying "yes buy a Trigkey."

Any thoughts and which supplier to buy, and which to avoid - in general?

Thanks
