I like it when Phil covers these little mini PCS. It's fun to see how much performance is crammed into such a small chassis
Nice review. Just got this today, and SUPER impressed.
Nice! Something like this will probably be my next main computer. I don't really need more, and only play 10+ year old games and indies anyway in terms of gaming.
Nice video! I also expect a retro video about much older and classic stuff.
Awesome Philip love those small form factor systems.
:) WELL DONE! I just got 1 a bit ago, and upgraded RAM and SSD myself with 64Gb and 1 Tb respectively. So far, LOVE it1 for such a small Form Factor, has replaced my desktop tower and HP Aero Laptop. I have not had the USB issues you mentioned, so fingers crossed :) ALL the Best and Cheers from Pacific NW in US!! :)
Great video Phil, really enjoyed this one.
It always amazes me how powerful the CPU's are nowadays in these small PC's. 10 years ago you would have had a Intel Atom in something similar to this
You're wrong, I have a mini PCs that I use to stream audio onto the web. It is an I5 4th gen which came out in 2013 (10 yrs ago). I got it refurbed 2 yrs ago for a $100 bucks.
The Atom is still around. Its used all over the place for industrial applications in little solid state boxes like this.
Nice! I always liked Mini PCs!
Great review!
This PC is nearly perfect for emulation!!
These are cool! They could make them slightly bigger for more expansion, but for what they are the performance is incredible.
Great video 🥰👍 I love these mini PCs and the power💪 and portability they offer 🤯. Pure speculation here, but the usb issue is seen as a more common issue (dropouts and lower speeds) on Ryzen based PCs for a number of users, but personally never experienced myself🤔. It maybe a chipset bandwidth issue or driver issue…… also, the GPU artifacting looks like either an overheating issue or driver compatibility issue 😥
I transitioned from using full tower rigs to this mini pc that does the job perfectly without any fuss. Im happy with my transition.
One tip if u want more Apu Performance from the machine is to go bios find the NBIO settings usually located in the CBS options found in advanced settings after reaching that go to smartshift control and change the setting from the default 35 watts > 45 watts removing the thermal limitations that the pc may have with default settings FYI if u exeperiences random shutdowns shut off core performance boost it will help with thermals :D My fps in a game i play went from 75-80 to 100-110 from using this make sure to raise the fan speed aswell my friends more peformance= more heat
Nice!
Content aside, Phil, I'm guessing it's natural light but it makes this video look very easy to see vs. some of the artificial light I think you use but all your videos are good. Content is awesome as always, Phil!
We really are living the sci-fi dream today
We are definitely living in the Twilight Zone, that’s for sure. Check out the Mandela Effect sometime. For one thing, it’s now always been possible to swim from Papua New Guinea to Australia. Not sure why we even refer to Australia as the ‘land down under’. Chile is further ‘down under’ 😂
You're having some humming in the audio, sounds like a ground loop.
Although I would just add a notch filter in post editing :)
Great video as always Phil! :)
I tried playing with the filter but couldn't solve it. It was the microphone, won't use it again, it's the second time it's been doing it...
Honestly a really good deal for the price! I’m currently running a home server on a Mac mini 2012 (i7-3615QM) so I think something like a Beelink like this one will be a potential successor.
Great video!
Nice review!
I bought 2 of these and made a proxmox cluster from them. works great! And I just got a ser 6 with newer Ryzen chipset to replace an aging Hades Canyon
Love these things. I own two now. One operates as a Linux server and the other one runs HoloIso. It's not going to smash FPS records, but it will play most things I care about acceptably at very low power and noise. Only complaint is how hot my USB thumb drive got in it. My units were $329 USD from Amazon, far and away the best performance per dollar in its class.
As for the USB not working, it could be that the USB ports have some kind of load protection, try a USB Y cable, where one end goes to the MiniPC and the other to an external source. Great video!😉
I have 2 of these and they've been great. They're not powerhouses but I'm not a power user or a gamer so they're more than good enough for my uses.
Great video, thanks.
My next PC will probably be one of these mini ones. They’re getting to where they are powerful enough for my needs. I don’t really play modern games, at least not the demanding ones, so the space saved would be great. Too bad about the front USB. That definitely needs to be addressed.
FINALLY! Integrated graphics makes short work of Crysis!
Great mini pc!
I ordered myself a GEEKOM Mini IT12.
My plan is to use it w/ an eGPU in the future for local, reasonable "modern-ish" gaming. When it arrives, I'm going to use it for Steam Link from my main gaming machine.
Will also use it as a Plex renderer.
Went with an Intel model over an AMD equivalent mini PC so I could use USB4 (Thunderbolt 3) for an eGPU. Not many AMD based mini PCs offer TB3/4 for eGPU usage. At least not that I found.
Would love to see a video on Atlas and how it improves Windows 10 performance on small formfactor pcs like this or even older Core2Quad to 7th gen i-Series chips.
The name of this model sounds funny in Polish. xD
The Polish word "SER" means "CHEESE".
Great video on a mini pc I purchased myself the other week without the issue you had. Mine had 16GB (2x8) at 3200mhz though! Quick question, I also have 32gb (2x16) ram at 2666mhz at home. Is it worth putting 32gb slower ram in or remaining with 16gb faster? Thanks in advance.
I have this exact model for 3 weeks as I write this running dual monitors and using a USB expansion hub. I only play the The Sims 2 with minimal issues save for modding to be compatible to run 1600X900 single monitor.
Really cool machine. I would use one to replace a standard PC, really inexpensive compared to putting together a new machine made from purchased parts. One question would be: what about realiability / durability? Have you used this kind of PCs in a daily basis for a considerable time? And the other one: does Beelink really ships standard units with Crucial memory and Kingston SSD? Some reviewers on Amazon mention that purchased units through retail channels come with parts different from reviews. Cheers
I have the ryzen 5 5500u version with 16gb/512gb and it's an amazing computer
Using these for our DTF printing network. Great for our purpose. Perfect for attaching to the back of the monitors keeping them out of the way. Most likely overkill for us😂
Great demonstration/review. Could this run GTA 4 and 5 well, any way to test?
did you make sure the power draw of your test USB drives are in spec of the USB ports? i know max current of USB3.0 (or whatever its new stupid official designation is) is 900ma, not sure on max current of USB versions above this are.
My laptop has this CPU and performs exceptionally well for anything I throw at it. One complaint is heat output but I'll blame Dell for that.
AMD has years and years of overheating history.
Hey Phil! I've noticed flaky USB3.0 connection too on my desktop (!) whenever I use HDD/SSDs with the front ports. It could be the way these ports are connected to the MB (in my case they're not soldered-on but use a cable to connect to the front ports. This might not be stable enough for hi-speed drives). The back ones work perfectly every time.
They are soldered and had this issue with other Mini PCs. But didn't have issues with Thunderbolt docking station or on other PCs with 10gb ports...
9:40 this may or may not be related to your USB problem, but I've got a handful of laptops with similar chips in them that have issues with USB disconnecting randomly.
I have one it's a great mini pc. Concerning the USB, it would drop when copying large files to my portable drive.
Just a heads up! I'd appreciate if you'd put a high pass EQ on your microphone. There's a terrible hum at about 120Hz that's easily edited out, this will also help with your plosives
I tried playing with the filter but couldn't solve it. It was the microphone, won't use it again, it's the second time it's been doing it...
Disappointed that you encountered USB issues and that DOSBox seemed glitchy😢
I have this unit, it's a tidy little unit, there's options for overclocking in the bios, could you possibly do a video on tweaking the overclocking settings please? Thanks
Thank you Hank Schrader for this review!
😂
Propably a Retro gaming monster
I bought one of these for my Dad, the 16GB version for £350. He has a Phenom x2 Windows PC and he wanted an upgrade. Hopefully this plus Win11 will last him a long time!
Nobody sees this video before me? I feel special now!
How's the 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth range with the usb3 ports sitting 1cm away from the antenna ?
Pretty neat small workhorse with 8 cores. I think the age of mid range tower PC's is over soon.
I've got an Asus PN50 with an R7 4700U CPU, which I'm using for my home server. This would be a pretty good option if I were looking for a mini PC for a home server (if I didn't already have the PN50). But honestly after having one for a while, it would be nice if there were something slightly larger that could take a PCIE card so I could add a faster NIC (USB Ethernet adapters aren't a good options, since I had an issue with it remembering its static IP address after a reboot; also jumbo frames).
I'm using a PN50 with the 4300U. Perfect - almost - for an everyday machine. Does your PN50 let you 'suspend'? Mine doesn't appear to have the S3 power state, so when I suspend, it basically switches off instead.
@@MarkTheMorose Honestly, I've never tried. First thing I did was disable suspend, since I'm using it as a server and don't want it going to sleep while it's trying to do server stuff. I assume you've chequed if there's a BIOS update available?
@@UpLateGeek Thanks; yes I checked for a new BIOS early on, as I was experiencing freeze/crash issues which turned out to be the SSD. I think it's that the hardware or firmware literally does not have S3 ability. If it was removed from the BIOS to simplify it, it's an annoying and rather baffling decision.
How will this do as an video editing machine? I am currently using a Ryzen 3 1200 with 8 GB or ram. I have a 1050 graphics card.
I assume this mini PC would be a step up, but I wanted to check before ordering it. Thanks.
It does very well for video editing! Good single threaded performance, good multi threaded performance, fast storage and video decoding.
I am thinking to get one of this model. My only concern is from Amazon reviews, about 7% of the reviewers give it one star. A majority of these reviewers claim their units died with in about 1-1.5 year. How the owners of this mini PC model feel about its build quality? Do I need to buy extended warranty? Thanks in advance for your advices!
hi Phils can you do a video about m.2 sata ssds with ide adapter for windows 98 and for retro laptops? im looking for that video
Nice MiniPC! Would be nice to see how it performs with a Linux Distro of your choice, great for emulation and maybe the USB or DosBox issues are not there?
That saved me some typing; I was going to suggest trying a 'live' Linux distro and testing USB with that, then installing the OS and trying again.
Will it work on this "GPU passthrough" to the VM (KVM virtual machine)?
@PhilsComputerLab can you show how to replace and upgrade the MVNe factory 500 with a new 2tb NVMe. I purchased a crucial P3 Plus 2tb up to 5000mb/s, although, I believe the max my Beelink can do is 3000 at the moment. Can you do a video tutorial on how to do this? There are no videos on the Internet that show how to do this. It is crazy because there are videos on everything else in the world you can think of. Well, I hope you can help. If not my journey continues to figure out how to do this.
It's shown in the video where I'm opening the Mini PC and then showing the RAM and you can see the SSD.
I wonder if using a power filter on the power supply would help with the USB issue. Could be power supply noise possibly
I had the same thought, but I expect the motherboard isn't supplying enough power to the USB ports for high power devices. The solution there is to use a powered USB hub.
@@JamieBainbridge That would make more sense
I want to get this exact one. mainly for running servers for games like Minecraft modded, Unturned, Valheim, gmod and many more. would this mini pc be good for that?
i already have a main pc for gaming but want a second one for like i said running game servers.
Not sure I have no experience with Minecraft.
Something they never tell, how long of intense gaming can it endure without melting :)
Can you even play 1 hour without overheating?
But can it run Crysis? YES, it can...30 FPs...Wohooooo...Cool video...
is there any MiniPC that can have extensible graphic card (external)? I think ASUS seems try that before
Why in their website says it has 1 hdmi and 1 display port? My device like yours only havr two hdmi!
Bro looks like humidity 🥚
Hi mate! I hope u can reply to this comment, I was wondering if you can put a RTX 3060ti on it?
It's a mini PC!
Yes you can by externally
Can this run Virtualization app like VMWare workstation?
Ngl, I kinda want to own something like this one day. 😅
Your videos are about games, I'm sure you can review games at some point. If you want to review hardware stuff, well you have to start making hardware videos. Good luck :)
@@philscomputerlab Hey, thanks for words of Couragement 😄 I appreciate it,
I think once I have the idea of what I wanna do, also some of the living conditions (Like, no-one disturbs the recording, having the room for specific things etc.) And Hopefully this could work 😅
@@Super123456789Kuba Remember, we all started from 0 🙂
@@philscomputerlab Ain't that a truth? 😁
I just got one of these but when I try to enter bios I get a black screen. I tried different hdmi ports but just black screen. It works otherwise, just wanted to change the fan speed.
Hmm that is weird, I'm not sure what's going on...
I am not sure whats better for emulatiom up to PS3, a real Mini PC like this, or DIY small B550 Micro ATX PC?!
PS3 is gonna be hit or miss with these. Probably better going more powerful
I've noticed all the review units are showing off quality brand name ram and ssd. If you open one up you buy yourself it will likely have generic modules instead. YYMV and you usually get what you pay for.
I agree.
It would be nice if you get results from emulators as well.
Well the only emulators I'm into is DOSBox and it runs it very well :)
It kind of annoys me when systems like that comes with a proprietary or otherwise non-standard charger instead of just a USB-C brick. Oh well. At least the shipped it with dual channel RAM this time.
The Crysis results are definitely due to the GPU limiting the system, objectively. 99% usage on the GPU and only 11% on the CPU.
is this good for daily work and programming?
Absolutely!
9:38 looks like an electromagnetic interference issue.
Seems like with every video that is released about this rig the price goes up.
How do you enter the bios on this exact machine
Try ESC or one of the F keys. The user manual or sticker also might cover it.
Price is now 399USD
Is it possible to enable virtualization in the BIOS? I Want to run Hyper-V.
i have one and its automatically set on in bios
@@user-sn1ob1ix1h
Normally it's not set on by default. Anyway, thank you.
How about overheating from gaming? How does it hanlde long sessions?
It's similar to a laptop, the fan will go loud most of the time but no issues otherwise.
@@philscomputerlab I really don't care about the noise I am asking if there is any loss in performance or even worse any chance anything will burn out
@@philscomputerlab Sorry didn't mean to sound rude. I meant I didn't mind if it was loud.
@@ArgKnoxville86 All good. The performance settles down after a few minutes, I mention this in the video I think. There are also fan options in the BIOS.
Would rather 5800h or 6600h
This emulate PS2 games well?
Not something I've tested, but I guess so?
overclock?
There are options in the BIOS, I would like to see this
Made and flashed bios in China!
40mb with wifi6 is not good, my xiaomi 12t pro does 120mb.
i got usb issues with 3 different beelink minis, disconnects like you,
or ports running as usb2 and other weird stuff.
will not buy anything from them again.
The 40 MB, not mb, is decent because I've tested other PCs and it's upstairs, router downstairs. A lot depends on the environment and you have to test heap of devices to get an idea. Best so far has been a HP Mini PC, I want to review it at some point.
@@philscomputerlab yes, i also mean "MegaBytes" ... 120 with xiaomi smartphone, maxing out the 1GBit Line.
@@paparansen Yea at close distance I've seen almost 200MB. I recommend testing with 2.5G or 10G NAS I stead of Internet...
@@philscomputerlab i was surprised that the smartphone can do that speed ^^
Can it run Crysis..😁
Well, their is a Shortcut there 2:36
It is expensive I would rather buy box PC than 500 dollar mini pc unless it has at least rdna2
Impressive performance in such a small package.
Ultimately though, I don’t care. I’ve got modern computer parts coming out of my ears, I get them quicker than I can sell them, and they all merge together into one homogeneous mass of boringness.
shou ne cheaper
Crysis is gpu limited as you can see from the 99% gpu util
I am missing the sponsored content checkmark on this video. A free product, your disclaimer notwithstanding, counts as payment in kind. It has real monetary value, this product. Unless you sent it back after your review.
I accept your review is mostly likely honest enough, but your disclaimer cannot be verified and are just words that a scammer would also claim. Therefore of little actual value.
When testing Crisis there is 99-100% GPU utili and
Yea should have actually checked the recording porperly :D
Nice video! I also expect a retro video about much older and classic stuff.
Why?
It's Phil's Computer Lab.. not exclusively Retro videos :)
