A9 Max

This is a problem with Geekom since the first of the year. I know more than one person who was surprised to drop like $1400 on a A9 Max HX 370 only to find a single 32GB stick. He purchased it with the intent of upgradable RAM but wasn't expecting an immediate upgrade. Adding the missing/matching st

Yes I’ve got a Geekom A9 max HX 370 /890m with 64gb ram. Photoshop uses up to 20 gbs sometimes. I’m assuming it does that to make the app snappier but when drawing it’s just not as smooth as it should be. 🤔

You will need to do your due diligence on 32GB builds. Some like the Geekom A9 Max begin shipping with 1x 32GB stick. Single channel mode can easily reduce processing and graphics performance by up to 40%. Purchasing the missing/matching stick can easily break a $1500 USD budget. The Mac Mini M4 Pro

I came to this thread being extremely annoyed with the fan noise since I'm very sensitive to noise. It's been my only disappointment with the machine. It has already been mentioned but there is a new EC version (0.17) available here:https://service.geekompc.com/a9-mega/ There's not a lot of guidance

The only complaints I found with the Geekom A9 Max were disappointments that the 2nd M.2 slot was for a smaller 2230 NVMe SSD and that it arrived with a single 32GB stick of RAM. Single channel mode memory reduces processing and graphics for performance by up to 40% and buying the missing/matching s

As a heads up I've had a few friends with returned Geekom minis like the A8 after finding disappointing performance. Turns out that RAMpocalypse/RAMageddon has them shipping a single stick of RAM with single channel mode reducing processing and graphics performance by up to 40%. One gentleman was ev

MiniPCs are only worth if you are limited in terms of size and despise laptops. Price to performance ratio is almost always worse when compared to a decent laptop or PC for similar price. If you absolutely need minipc and have 1500$ then check out Beelink SER9 with HX 370 and 32gb ddr5. Pretty respe

Thanks for the post! 32GB single channel memory with Gorgon Point Ryzen AI 400 series/Strix Point "refresh" at $1800 USD without a competitive 64GB dual channel auction seems counterproductive at this point. A matching stick of Crucial 32GB 5600 is currently pushing 400 bucks from reputable sources.

There's not a big advantage here what the exception of the XDNA NPU between this and my GMKtec K8 Plus. Mine shipped with a single 32GB stick, not 2x16GB. Free slot for a cheap upgrade later, but out of the box you're running single channel. Single channel memory can easily kill processing and graph

Even the cheapest APU mini PC you can find with HX370 and 32GB RAM is the Geekom A9 max costs $1300. Strix Halo is waaaay above that.
