SER8

i can't hear the beelink ser8 on my desk unless i get within a foot or so of it, with normal house level silence around. i also have a nuc 8 for comparison that i can hear from about 3-4 feet away. while it may not be technically silent i doubt you'll ever hear the fan if you aren't in deafening sil

Beelink SER8 remain quiet even under load. See review.

The performance increase is noticeable over earlier APU’s I’ve got a few Beelink SER8’s and I’m super happy with them. Super quiet as well - which is the whole reason I specifically purchased them. If you can

I also sent back my k12 recently - mainly for the fan noise. I was just intending to use it as a media pc for my TV, but found the fans to be an annoying pitch and also loud, even after tweaking fan speeds. I got the beelink ser8 instead, which I could tune to be literally silent (fans off) at idle,

The Beelink SER8 has single fan cooling with bottom ventilation, and is the quieter of the two. The 8745HS isn't acknowledged by AMD, requiring custom AGESA firmware only supported by the manufacturer (AZWBeelink). The GMKtec NucBox K8 Plus has dual fan cooling & a fully ventilated case, with a 8845
