A9 Max

Yes I’ve got a Geekom A9 max HX 370 /890m with 64gb ram. Photoshop uses up to 20 gbs sometimes. I’m assuming it does that to make the app snappier but when drawing it’s just not as smooth as it should be. 🤔

I came to this thread being extremely annoyed with the fan noise since I'm very sensitive to noise. It's been my only disappointment with the machine. It has already been mentioned but there is a new EC version (0.17) available here:https://service.geekompc.com/a9-mega/ There's not a lot of guidance

Thanks for the post! 32GB single channel memory with Gorgon Point Ryzen AI 400 series/Strix Point "refresh" at $1800 USD without a competitive 64GB dual channel auction seems counterproductive at this point. A matching stick of Crucial 32GB 5600 is currently pushing 400 bucks from reputable sources.

There's not a big advantage here what the exception of the XDNA NPU between this and my GMKtec K8 Plus. Mine shipped with a single 32GB stick, not 2x16GB. Free slot for a cheap upgrade later, but out of the box you're running single channel. Single channel memory can easily kill processing and graph

Even the cheapest APU mini PC you can find with HX370 and 32GB RAM is the Geekom A9 max costs $1300. Strix Halo is waaaay above that.

The key is getting 32GB of dual channel RAM while avoiding the crippled Chinese processors. The HX 370/470 has been found to have poor multi-core performance while the slower 5600MHz SODIMM hurts graphics performance. The A9 Max may possibly be worthwhile for some AI models when running a 64GB/96GB/

Same pb for me with my a9 mega (i live in France) ! I m waiting for the Geekom fix …

I had the same problem, but worse. I bought a Geekom A9 Max, it arrived, and it turns out it doesn't detect hard drives (it's supposed to have 2TB). In fact, I couldn't even run the Windows preinstallation because it will be hosted on them. After trying to contact them through every possible means:

Thanks! Thinking about 1. – I will be happy with gaming in UWQHD (3440×1440), that should be fine maybe even without upscaling.* The only real 4K gaming card seems to be the GeForce RTX 5090 (both mobile and desktop versions) but for that I'd have to pay 3 times as much. Also, currently there does n
