BEST Mini PC 2024 & the BEST cooling! | Beelink SER Ryzen 8845HS

[@knofi7052]

To be honest, really the best mini pc I have seen so far! And with an AMD cpu it should be stable as well! 😊

[@theTechNotice]

Glad you like it!

@@theTechNotice you know noctua nhD15 gen2 its out sooo .....:)))))🙂

Great review. You should test Beelink GTi14 Ultra AI PC Intel Core UItra 7 155H or even Beelink GTi14 Ultra AI PC Intel Core UItra 9 185H.

Having USB4 is fantastic, get a nice dGPU enclosure for when you need it.

[@akin242002]

I love mini-PCs. Small, easy to move around, and offer great value for casual desktop users. Tower desktops with an extreme GPU are still better for professional video editors, tournament gamers, or high-end engineers. However, most people are not into those professions and hobbies.

[@ferryseegers9246]

for the last 2 years I've been working with a Beelink SER5 and still doing the job well, however, would like to upgrade it to a newer version like this one. However, what I'm missing is the option to add an additional HDD, which is possible in the SER5. You had that option in the lid of the case. SSD with large storage is still a bit expensive and if it's only storage, a good HDD is a nice option. Sure, I could add an external HDD for just storage... But to have that option inside the PC is just handy

[@Air_Cardinal]

This looks amazing, I'd put it inside my main PC if the case were big enough.

[@AhmadQ.81]

I wish if you could put dp noise levels when the PC under load for each performance profile. 🎉 Thank you for the great efforts

[@theTechNotice]

I'll add that to the test!

[@Snarkapotamus]

Important for people wanting to use it in a home studio setting. Good mics will pick up EVERYTHING!

[@RodolfoLagana]

Thank you for this review. Do you know if still have crash issues with Lighroom?

I am a newbie when it comes to networking and NAS solutions, but I have a idea of one I want to try but I’m unsure if it’s feasibility. My solution to a small NAS is to use a mini-PC (Beelink Mini S12 Mini PC) with a 128GB NVME M.2 for the OS and Urbackup as the NAS software solution, a 4Tb SATA 2.5 SSD for interior storage expansion. That’s for the first part, the further expansion plan is to attach a 4 Bay HDD Cage Chassis, connecting it to the Beelink through a NVME M-Key PCI Express to SATA 3.0 Adapter Converter Hard Drive Extension Card. My only unsure portion of the NAS, is my decision to power the 4 Bay Chassis using a Pico UPS (24pin DC ATX PSU 12V DC Input DC 12V 150-watt Pico PSU) as the power source attaching a COMeap ATX Power Jumper Cable to turn the chassis on/off. On paper it seems as if it should work but of course like I stated I’m a newbie. What do you think? Would it work?

AMD HX370 reach this points at 30W. 13:30. Woow this is huge and massive. This is realy great cooling system.

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

wow that is bling bling, was this a promo unit cause you are a reviewer or is this a standard model? I am on my Ser7 Pro typing this. Very much like this miniPC, Definately going to keep an eye on this for black friday. Currently want to upgrade the RAM if DDR5 ram comes down in price from 32GB to 64GB.

[@degroot50]

You forget the power waist from the mains PSU, its not all from the PC.

[@g6design367]

Is it safe to say this mini PC from beekink stands at the top in Performance, Cool and IO for the mini PC Category?

[@theTechNotice]

Yeah for what I have tested!

[@tonysofla]

At $530 to $600 for 32gb and 1T, is Ryzen 8845HS mini PC with some gaming, the best value?

[@aarrodri]

Which mini PC with AMD and oculink do you recommend?

[@dansburns]

Macs should be this easily upgradable.

[@merther_]

Does it support power delivery?

[@cheekster777]

Thank you my friend.

[@ahowl7mx]

What model is it?

[@kolega1976]

What was the room temperature? What fan settings were used? I'm not achieving such temperature values with the latest BIOS and default settings. My CPU is about 8 to 10 degrees warmer.

[@aguz916]

Will you consider reviewing Minisforum um890 pro and uh125 pro?

[@theTechNotice]

yes! anything particular that you'd like to see?

[@tmmehedi]

I liked the cooling technology..

[@yuvatxw]

Is it good for Video Editing? And what improves can be necessary for it?

[@hotshotbv]

Can u do a comparison between Geekom A8 and Beelink Ser8

[@MarioCastillion]

If it can handle 6K video editing I'm buying it.

[@JeanBaptisteChabi]

Amazing, please recommand a mini pc for programming and some video editing. I'm very limited on Budget, max 400$, please if you have a recommendation, help me.

Was looking to replace my Wifi's iMac 21.5" mid 2011 with 12GB Ram and 1TB SSD (SATA), and came across the GMKTec K8 7840HS, 32GB DDR5-5600, 1TB Gen 4 Drive for $474.00 What are your thoughts and should see notice a significant improvement in her use case. Primarily Multiple Chrome Tabs (4-5) with around 30-80 Tabs open in each in addition to Outlook and Gmail being opened. She uses Lightroom Classic 6 to organize your 290,000 Images and videos but only does light editing and on occasion. I would say 70-75% Web 20-30% Email and 5-10% Lightroom on occasion. What are your thoughts on this I heard the other units that had metal (Aluminum) chasis had very poor wifi as opposed to this one with a plastic case. Waiting to receive it in a few days to suprise her, would love your input.

i've got SER5 MAX AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics 32GB RAM 1TB SSD and i'm happy about it - value for money and enough for my workload :)

[@akhilchilakala9535]

Is 8600G better than this?

[@borbetomagus]

Do you have any plans to compare the BeeLink SER8 (with the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS & Radeon 780M) to the Miniforum 'AtomMan G7 Pt' (with the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX & Radeon RX 7600M XT)? Yes, the AtomMan is priced a bit more, but considering the performance benefits of both the 7945HX (perhaps 90% faster [in some benchmarks] than the 8845HS) and the 7600M XT (perhaps 60% faster [in some benchmarks] than the 780M), it might be a better long term investment. Now, only if it included the 7900M, which seems to have 300% better GPU benchmarks than the 780M....

[@tmmehedi]

Omg this cooling fan is so big 😮

[@FreakyDudeEx]

There is not much difference between the Ryzen 9 and Ryzen 7 for this CPU SKU... It's just a small bump in performance that does not justify the cost for the Ryzen 9 upgrade... Plus the Ryzen 7 version of this CPU SKU is somehow more energy efficient than the Ryzen 9 one... There is almost no reason for normal users and productivity users to get a Ryzen 8945HS over the Ryzen 8845HS.... I don't even know why the 8945HS even existed outside the reason for just increasing the price for no reason...

[@HiltonT69]

There's only one mother board, and a number of daughter boards.

I JUST CHECKED THE PRICE, IT'S VERY CHEAP RYZEN 9 & 32GB RAM UNDER $700 🤯🤯🤯🤯 APPLE TAKE A LESSON 😤😤😤😤

[@chidorirasenganz]

What lesson? Ports and performance and are better on both the mac mini and mac studio

[@tricky_hy2892]

@@chidorirasenganz still has less ram and storage lol. If you just want to match the storage and ram that mac mini will be like 2X the price of this so yeah... And it's windows you can play eSports games easily.

[@tuber2kh]

careful -- the link he posted goes to multiple systems on the page. I checked one ryzen 9 option and it changed from a Ser8 to an Ser6, so I'm not sure all those options are all this same design with the new type of cooling.

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@tricky_hy2892 You don’t have to get internal storage though. You can get a Satchi hub with a built in m.2 slot that can take whatever nvme ssd you want to use. To max out the ram on the base m2 (24g) it’s $999 which is far from double the price. If you care about esports games then yeah you’ll have better luck but anything else can run through crossover/gptk

[@Jerome-C]

the RYZEN 8845Hs seems to be CUROUSLY worse that the 7745HS ... realy strange for 10W more consumption !!!

What does the secure mean? I didn't find malware or autorun worm on my SER8. They were clean.

@@Murphy-dom There are reviews where viruses have been found on this very model. Also, you hear stories about chips in Chinese computers that could possibly phone home.
