EVO-T1

Haven't received an EVO-T1 in for inspection, with the 115W MTP Core Ultra 9 285H known for running higher temperatures compared to its AMD equivalents. Reviews have been sparse on the EVO-T1, although this one points out seeing 100°C during testing I have worked on some 285H laptops, yet I haven't

I am leaning towards a poorly installed cooling system with low-grade globs of thermal paste as the culprit. If it weren't for the warranty, I would be unscrewing things but as I said, I would like to see what other owners of the GMKTec Evo-T1 have to say first.

I'm not looking to game on my IGP, I just want to run games once in a blue moon when I can fit it into my schedule and for those times I'm gonna use the RTX 2080 Ti from my desktop in a Asus TB3 enclosure that I have laying around. Even though it's a TB3 connection, I'm guessing I'm not gonna get mu

You're still not smart enough to read after giving you the benefit of the doubt. You're still reading power consumption at the receptacle. The 131.6W for the 100W/80W 285H was a ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605CX with a RTX 5090. The 133.7W for the 80W/80W HX 370 was a ASUS ProArt P16 H7606WP with a RTX 5070.

Even if your unit is new, it will get from factory build very poor thermal paste quality and it will be poorly applied, i strongly suggest you to repaste your CPU with Quality Artic thermal paste. Secondly the 285H like all high end mobile intel CPU will throttle under load and will reach heat throt

Don't expect much higher than 30fps with the iGPU when playing AAA or AA games at 1080p even at low settings. Older games and pixel based games is fine though. You're definitely going to need a eGPU if you want to play near 60fps or higher. I have a GMKtec EVO-T1 with an Ultra 9 285H, Arc 140t and 6

They can be found, but at a high price during this RAM apocalypse. Now SSD apocalypse too. For $1070 USD, you can get the GMKtec EVO-T1 with 64 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz RAM. https://a.co/d/9CWE8hQ

I completely see what you are saying, but sadly, the Ryzen 9 was not enough on Balanced. At all. The single thread performance of the processor gen used by the EVO-T1 (Intel Ultra 9 285 H) is higher than that of the GMKTecK11 (Ryzen 9 8945 HS) according to PassMark CPU Mark: 5092 vs 4738. That is wh

Do you have enough to double it up? Ryzen R9 runs pretty hot yes? Plus the copper (where the heat transfers from the CPU) on my GMKTec EvO T1 wasn't the smoothest. Not sure but the k11 copper looks similar.

For me reliability wins out every time, so I recommend Beelink GTi15. Only if you really want to use the Occulink would I consider GMKtec Evo-T1.
