I bet that's why the K9 has a fan on the top
What's the cpu/gpu information overlay program in this video?
I have the G3, and I can confirm that both the SSD and RAM are extremely hot. There has to be a better solution. I hope someone creates a top hat for it with a fan.
If you get access to better passively cooled RAM sticks, perhaps that could work.
Also, it might be a case of the sticks themselves being the problem.
If the problem solves itself just by 1 second of blowing air on the sticks, it might be an issue more of problematic sticks than necessarily overall design.
Having said that I do wish Mini PC makers made their systems taller to allow proper cooling.
Im claiming a warranty with this k4, my pc overheat and doesnt run
I put an Xbox heatsink on top of the copper pipes of the stock heatsink in my Beelink Ser5 Max, and on top of the Xbox heatsink a 90mm fan, so i can choose the voltage of that fan, mostly becouse of the noise that the stock fan makes, and it improved the temps too. Only if i put the 90mm fan at 12v it gets loud, but not as much as the stock one.
That and an external GPU 6650XT, it's all i need for the ideal gypsy's setup.
Total power consumption from the wall, including a light, monitor and speakers can go from 65W on simple tasks (playing with energy plans) to 290w full blast.
Common issue with mini pc's, they are smaller than they need to be and cooling suffers because of it. A 3D printer and a case fan could go a long way.
Good thing i avoid buying this brand gmktec even with the cheap 7735hs variant only worth $269 in my country barebones
My GMKTEC mini pc was faulty on delivery. 1 ram stick full of errors. AVOID
I am using mainly PSE 2024, ON1 PR 2023.5 and Movavi Video Editor Plus 2022. Here only editing of one 4k trace with some text and music. I would know how a r9 or r7 32 gb ram would perform here with these programms. Could such a mini pc really be a full replace of my desktop pc???? Is it possible to produce a video wirh a mini pc showing how to deal with "all-day-tasks" including these tasks above i already mentioned here? Would be very very nice of you Sir… Greetings Marcus
That nice plastic tray where the memory sits can't help with airflow. Cooling is often marginal on minis and it's interesting to see some with 90mm fans on the market for this class of chip.
As the lid just clips on, maybe someone could 3d print a new cover with ventilation?
well just leave it? hook up a usb connector to a fan, get fan grill and doubleside tape it in place. its not only mini with heat issues and its not the last.
Do not get GEN4 NVME for mini pcs. They create much extra heat over GEN3. Hynix p31 is probably the best since its very power/heat efficient.
My K1 came with a 3D printed optional cover for the top of the device. Of course, I can't find an STL file for it.
Be interesting to see if just flat out passive cooling (IE running without the top on) would solve the problem from a cold boot, and also once heat-soaked.
The answer might just be 'drill some holes in it over RAM' or 'cut a hole and put some metal speaker grille mesh over it'.
This issue isn't limited to GMKtec. All the mini-pc sellers are having this problem if you go looking on forums. Basically they are using tiny laptop heat pipes and fans for these boxes when they should be using something bigger. In the last two years the only device with a larger heatsink and fan so far has been the AOOSTAR GOD7, the downside is it is RGB so very distracting and not suitable for small business.
I’m waiting for K6 to arrive, surprisedly they have it on sale with a coupon and this model now has 2 cool fans, one is specifically dedicated to cool both ram and ssd drive. Before I’ve seen a video from someone experiencing same issues that you have, and the other guy made a diy cap with a build in fan to avoid the same issue you described in your video.
can you use the HWiNFO to check the RAM temp?
Interesting. Imagine if the Mini-PC was a PCIE-5 based system with a Gen-5 NVME M.2 and the ram configuration it has now. Maybe have a total Melt-Down?
😂 my system also use extra fans to make it cool, but I am to lazy so I just open up my system and use my house fans to cool it, and its work wonder and even better, the noise maybe put everyone off though 😂.
I forgot where I saw this (probably reddit or Jack stone reviw) . But what you're experiencing is normal for the k4 (7940hs) and the K1(6800H). Memory overheats and kills gaming performance. Oddly the K2 (7735HS) doesn't exhibit same behavior even though it has same design flaw. I tested it with no issue myself. I'm guessing the low power limits of the box is helping.
