SER8

Let's try to get as close to "Apples-to-Apples" as possible, using a 1-year warranty, dependably sourced Beelink SER8 8845HS as the example. ASRock DeskMini x600 Ryzen 7 8700G 32GB of dual channel CL40 DDR5 5600MT/s 1TB Gen4x4 NVMe SSDs Windows 11 Pro key Here's the build his less than $650, with th

Until that's settled with a proper firmware update to match the competition the S

Technically, none of these Chi-NUC brands have been on the market long enough to warrant "reliability", notably with Geekom & GMKtec having less history than Beelink & Minisforums. Possibly, the best perspective is customer service. Beelink currently has the best consensus, with Minisforum taking th

Update on my case. I've done some extra rounds, asked Beelink for V035 P8COM0C15.15 BIOS update, but unfortunately that didn't help at all. Even uninstalling AMD Chipset drivers didn't solved the issue. Then I found this comment surgically pinpointing the problematic driver: SER8 (R7 8745HS) Freezin

I ordered a SER8 direct from the Beelink website. Price seemed better than Amazon and it stated that it would be shipped from a UK warehouse so no extra charges. The unit was delivered fine and it seems to be working well (no malware or unwanted software as far as I can tell). My only observation wo

my beelink SER8 has served me well the past 2 years running Ubuntu

I spent the whole day trying to troubleshoot it on my beelink ser8. Even installed cachyos and was this close to nuking the windows installation from orbit. I have run the .ps1 script in this thread to uninstall the .37 and reinstalled .36 chipset drivers. So far it seems stable. Just as a curiosity

We service several Beelink SER8 PCs, and in our case, we've been able to fix the automatic restart/crashes so far by Uninstalling the AMD Chipset Software (Likely not required but should help prevent the auto-update of the problem driver after removing it in step 3). Go to Windows Settings>Apps>Inst

The Beelink SER8 has single fan cooling with bottom ventilation, and is the quieter of the two. The 8745HS isn't acknowledged by AMD, requiring custom AGESA firmware only supported by the manufacturer (AZWBeelink). The GMKtec NucBox K8 Plus has dual fan cooling & a fully ventilated case, with a 8845

Yes up to M2 I think. I'm also considering Ser8 and K8+ since I use Linux more than any OS, but it seems the big three Beelink, GMKTec and Minisforum try to buy off any negative reviews. There are many "stopped working" like reviews on Amazon, and in these forums. It might be best to get as barebone
