Beelink SER9 Pro (HX 370 / 890M iGPU): runs Gemma 4 8B at 16 tok/s AND Qwen 3.5 35B A3B at 20+ tok/s, fanless 32 dB

Well "fanless" ≠ 32dB, but I understand the sentiment 😉 The SER9 I tried was definitely quiet by comparison. But that's to be expected with single fan cooling and a non-ventilated case. I read your post and watched the video but I'm still lost on something. In March the OpenClaw phenomena allegedly

Mini PC w/ Occulink or TB5

After some trials and tribulations I went with the GMKtec K8 Plus. It was the only one with OCuLink with a decent reputation on the forum at the time. Currently TB5 (Intel/Apple) and USB4v2 (open source) are rarely supported on mobile devices. Apple for example has TB5 but no PCIe support for graphi

I'm a believer in eGPUs

Same here, I just recently switched to a mini PC with occulink support and connected my 3080 Ti, and performance was identical or similar to my current PC. And eGPU performance loss was virtually 0 with some games 10% loss. Time spy was around 1000 points lower from the eGPU with 20000 from 21000. M

I want to replace my current PC with mini PC + Oculink dock - does it make any sense in my usecase?

To answer your questions. I have a GMKtec K8 Plus and possibly plan for a RX 9060 XT 16GB. I've read where people are happy with the 9070 and OCuLink. Considering the Aoostar AG01 with its integrated 800W power supply for a smaller footprint with better cable management. If anything OCuLink is the b

Looking for a mini PC

Recently picked up a GMKtec Evo X1 after tons of research. Can say it's great: stable and very little bloatware, none really just uninstalled a few Windows Store apps that I didn't need. I don't know the cycle of these mini PCs, but so far so good with brand.

Good purchase source for USA - AooStar GEM10 with 64GB RAM

Don t go for the Evo-X1 if you plan to use an Oculink port specially with high ends GPU's, The Evo-X1 EGPU performance is terrible with its only 4 performances cores, AMD Phoenix point (7840HS) and Hawk point (8846HS) have very impressive EGPU petformance even with High ends EGPU performance loss ar

Best mff/sff pc for portability?

Tbh, most mff and sff cases are highly portable, but if you truly want portable, have you considered a mini pc with a egpu dock? Everything fits in a backpack. I have a mffpc, and I have a mini pc (evo-x2 amd 395 8060s) and I picked up another mini pc, a evo-x1 to pair with oculink dock. With my tra

Nothing to regret about the Evo X1 trade for the GMKtec K8 Plus, excepted the Evo X1 slightly higher single performances the Evo X1 had for unknown reason poor Multicore performance for an HX370, and the Evo X1 could be noisy under load way more than the K8 Plus, the worst attribute of the Evo-X1 wa

Ram Compatibility issues common?

I like the idea that the Firmware core setting is the culprit because it is matching the historical background of the Evo-x1. Prototype units have high performances and retail unit have low petformances. Geekbench search is an excellent tool because Geekbench Archive all its benxhmark with Device in
