Thanks for the mention of performance with multiple 4k displays! Much appreciated.

[@shaolindreams]

Some of these mini PCs are really looking promising nowadays.. Though some of the prices are crazy too.

[@shaolindreams]

@n n Give it a year or so and old stock will be discounted and then it will be very attractive grabbing one of these for a couple hundred bucks.

[@beau-urns]

The Ryzen ones are WAY overpriced. You can get a full amd 6000 series laptop for the same in most cases. The value just isn’t there on the higher end models

[@honumoorea873]

They will replace desktop pc soon, I got 2 of them and they are amazing while using low energy which is important to us cause we are off grid.

[@shaolindreams]

@@honumoorea873 Yeah man that's what i think too. Speaking of which i just bought a NucBox 5 for £200 in a sale, to tinker around with. I'm quite impressed with it and the MAX power draw is only 10W.. So i can turn off my gaming PC when I'm not gaming and save some power.

[@chairman67]

I think it would be beneficial to the audience if ETA PRIME could do a dedicated video covering the BIOS settings for these Mini PCs in general, going through all the settings, fan control settings, power control settings.. Even show HWMonitor fan speeds, core temp and core clock readouts, both idle and when running Cinebench R23 benchmark runs to show thermal performance and how to tune the fan speeds in the BIOS settings to achieve optimal themal performance vs fan noise etc.. Such a video would be very educational ! Thanks.

I hope it has better graphics drivers. I have the SER4 4800U version and freezing/lookups are a common thing with it. Daily. It is a known issue but noone seems to care to work on it. Standard response from the manufacture "unplug and replug hardware, install OS new, etc. etc." Standard support stuff without addressing the driver issue.

[@richarda6435]

Could you consider adding X-Plane and MSFS to your testing?

[@dave_r]

I have had one of this version with the 5560U for a couple of weeks and I like it, though I don't game on it. I was bothered by the fact that when ramping up the usage that the fan was running way too slowly. I thought it was because they were trying to avoid The Dreaded Fan Whine, but while I run this at 25W TDP, and have changed the fan settings so that it ramps up a bit more quickly, I have found the fan to be amazingly quiet and though it never gets that fast (maybe 3800 RPM when running Cinebench), the difference in temps was significant. I have ordered a 5600H version because I'm not sure I'm comfortable with an all-plastic box (though this one feels very well made) without any internal metal frame other than the motherboard. (I also wanted a USB-C port that carries video which the 5600H has and the 5560U doesn't. I was able to get both of these at very good prices (Amazon Prime) and am curious as to whether the metal-case 5600H will seem to be worth the $80 difference in the price. But I agree with ETAPRIME that these are handsome little machines and allowing the fan to speed up a little bit earlier than the default made all the difference in feel without adding much sound and that sound is more 'moving air' than 'whine'.

[@chairman67]

Very informative comment, thanks for sharing your views & thoughts. So I understand that you are able to see a fan speed reading on HWMonitor with these Beelink Mini PCs ?

[@dave_r]

@@chairman67 HWMonitor shows almost everything but does NOT show me fan speeds on the Beelink, but AIDA64 usually fins all fans, and finds the fan on the Beelinks, though you may have to have a paid version - I don't remember what get shown and what gets shows as "TRIAL COPY" (or whatever).

[@MrMualde]

Thank you for indeep review as always. Is this mini pc silent? I want to buy a mini pc and noise level is very important for me I am in between with this and quieter 3c i will use as a plex server and some light gaming

[@zirconia21]

Question, would you use the Win11 video drivers, or download from AMD? Ordered one of these as it looks like a close comparison to the Steam Deck at the low price point without all the stuff I don't need. Thanks for the vid.

[@LiLBitsDK]

Hmm following that link they show tons of other models but not the Ryzen 5625 Really hope we will see one with a Ryzen 6800U soon, they will have the 680 graphics in them (smallest model that has the 680)

[@arrasmithf]

I’m new to gaming pc’s and looking for a small form factor pc to play flight sim games. I would like to know how the performance of the games you test compare to one of these flight simulation games ie. Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or X-plane 12, which many state won’t even run without a dedicated gpu.

Wicked gamer and collector has multiple channels. Far as know eta prime has one. The two have useful information. who's the best? Is anyone's opinion.

I've been interested in these for a multi-monitor work station. I'm interested to see how much of that this could handle as compared to their Ryzen 9 offering. My current workstation laptop can have 4-5 programs open along with 4-5 tabs. Being an AMD A6 I can easily peg the CPU depending on what I'm doing.

[@hassosigbjoernson5738]

I wonder if it's possible to run a video editing software like davinci resolve free on this Mini PC. My dads needs a new PC since his old AIO Desktop is an old core i3 Dual Core (10 years+ I guess). And since he wants to basically stitch together some old vacation videos in FullHD it would be great to know if such a machine can handle it. The alternative would be my used PC which is an Ryzen 2600 with a GTX 1050 Ti. As I understand it, the free version of davinci resolve now also supports gpu encoding. But even with CPU encoding such a 5600 H/U 6-core should be a deal fasten than the old Ryzen 2600?!

[@chazcov08]

YES! The VAYSA mount! 😂

[@blue-cloud-studios]

Question is it possible to use a old laptop as an display cause I really want to get one of these But I'll have to sacrifice getting a good monitor for the time being

[@toxicavenger6172]

I gotta know... What wallpaper app are you using

[@hdsarma]

Is it better to buy the 5560U variant instead of the 5600H? performance difference is very less, more importantly Beelink is running the 5600H at lower TDP of 35W instead of rated TDP of 45W so any small performance advantage will be negated.

I bought a SER3 16GB+500GB/AMD Ryzen7 3750H mini PC a couple of weeks ago and installed HoloISO on it (SteamOS). It's working fine but I'm not sure I'm getting the most from it, game performance-wise. It seems for most titles I try (for example, Stray), I get low to mid twenties frame rates, even with in-game graphics settings on low. I've also messed with Steam settings, but can't seem to hit 30FPS reliably on anything I play. Is the SER model I bought just not up to the task, or is there something I can do to boost performance of this little PC? Anyone?

[@govatos]

Is it just me, or is this not on Amazon? That link isn’t getting me to it…

[@Flipendo64]

I had a budget prebuilt tower with intel i5-4460 with no dedicated graphics card, had it for 7 years so I'm going to upgrade to the SER 5560u, it's like 10x smaller and about 4 times better benchmarks lmao

[@St0rmer66]

I feel like the upgrade from the 4800U SER4 is so minor, especially in gaming. I use Ryzen Master to get 40W TDP and it runs like that all the time with no problems. Until the RDNA2 graphics become to norm I'll be sticking with it

[@jersetboii]

I was really looking forward to the new Ryzen 7000 series in some mini-pc's. Will they be coming out with a compatible line for these? It seems the chips announced to date need too much power and get far too hot. Might have to get a 5900HX mini-pc if nothing new is released.

ryzen 7000 is way more efficient than Ryzen 5000, the clocks are well above 5GHZ, at lower clocks, R9 7950X beat 105 Watt 5950X while consuming 65 Watts. Ryzen 700 is designed to clock insanely high till it reaches 95C,which is a safe operating temp according to AMD

[@DyesubDave]

@@hariskhan01 I realize this. But how are you going to cool any of these new processors in a Mini-PC format. Every video that I've seen using these CPUs shows them being water-cooled.

Mr. ETA Prime, since you have done a lot of reviews with the mini PCs, I have an important question for you. I have just configured a new Ryzen 4700U with the Kingston 500GB M.2 drive. Before I started up the device, I added my secondary SSD (Samsung EVO) data drive that I used in another PC. While looking at the data drives tonight, after loading my software, I just realized that the first partition on my secondary drive (D:) is my active, primary drive. Shouldn’t the Kingston M.2 drive contain the active, primary drive? If I remove the secondary SSD, will my 4700U boot up correctly with just the Kingston M.2 drive installed? I have a bad feeling about this. I appreciate any advice that you can give me. P.S. the Kingston M.2 is GPT and the Samsung SSD is MBR.

[@travislowrider6623]

I think you can change the boot drive In the boot menu. That whole press f12 or f5 thing during that first startup screen before windows loads.

I'm looking around to verify this but at the moment, I'm really disappointed he mentioned it incorrectly in his video, with no correction even after your comment. I just purchased this based on his review and I now realized it won't work with my portable monitor which requires USB C DP alt mode. Because I'm buying through a service, I can only wait for them to response and let me know if my order can be cancelled.
