I am so happy you did this. Everyone else who reviews these mini pcs complains about the high temperatures but they never took off the case. There was another video where they put a rx560 into a HP elite desk 800 g4 and barely saw a performance increase but the temps for that test were always at max so it was thermal throttling. If they took off the case like you I think it would have worked great.
The AMD Ryzen 7 2700U is a processor that was released in the first quarter of 2019. It has four cores and eight threads, and features a 14nm processor technology, 15W default TDP, and a maximum operating temperature of 95°C. The Ryzen 7 2700U also has Radeon Vega 10 graphics with 10 cores and a frequency of 1300 MHz. It supports DDR4 system memory with up to 2400MT/s and two memory channels, and uses PCI Express version 3.0 for connectivity. The Ryzen 7 2700U is unlocked for overclocking, but doesn't have configurable TDP (cTDP). Reviews of the Ryzen 7 2700U have noted its good multithreaded performance, and say that it's faster than 7th generation Core results. However, one review says that it doesn't have as strong single-threaded performance as the ASUS Zenbook 3.
For an 8w cpu I'm still surprised how warm it still gets even with the case off. I have a gmktec g2 n100 mini pc that will run 15w to the cpu if i open throttlestop and max out the power limits and that cooler is about 1/3rd the size of that n still only gets to about 75deg with the case on during a 10min r23 test.
I have an old 2500k that's a good bit more powerful, so I wonder if I can do this sort of thing to give that thing more life. It served me all well that I really don't want to let it go. But, that makes me think: do you think repasting might help here? I bet you could squeeze a bit more out even with that cooler.
Originally the case probably had a mesh top, but then they swapped it out for the smokey plastic because it "looked cooler".

I seen the one with the rx 560 he need to order the ventilated side panel for it
why even sell it with a case then
Happy to see the redemption arc! Great channel and work, thank you.
You could cut open the top of the case (over the fan) and place a grill so it can breath.
Would be cool to see the cooler remounted with better paste, or even hacking the cooling a bit.

Follow up mod video: Replace the top plexi glass for a dust filter mesh, would love to see it!
It makes a nice project for someone with a 3D printer .
Exactly the same thoughts. This could be a great little machine with a better case.
@@emlyndewar and another fan
Is the fan sucking air in from the top and blowing it out from the side?
Correct. It looks to be a Laptop style cooler.

Yo Evo can you do Nba 2k25 on the 5500u when it comes out
Luv it
