Kaufberatung kleiner HTPC (YouTube, Netflix)

Aber wozu? Wenn du nicht zocks erledigt ein google tv stick doch genau das gleiche für einen Bruchteil des Geldes ohne, dass du immer wieder eine Tastatur auspacken musst, weil dir Windows irgendwas zerschießt. Ein GMKtec K12 mit ein bisschen RAM und SSD kostet dich schnell 500€ aufwärts für nix.

Love the GMKtec K12!

I considered the K12 but after trying the SER9 settled on the 8845HS K8 Plus. Would love to see GMKtec with a Ryzen 7 260 or 9 270 K series version of the K12.

New GMKtec M7 Ultra appears to be infected. Beware of the malware!

Good question. Here's the facts as stand. With the acception of the AceTragic catastrophe malware hasn't been found at the manufacturing level. There's always a criminal element involved. That's why it's important to alert Amazon, the seller and local authorities. Where there's one there's usually m

I didn't like the original case, so I created and 3D-printed a new one (GMKtec K12).

Couldn't stand the fan noises from either K12 fan, but I do have wolf type ears and the K12 is 10-12 inches away from me on my desk. While u/grykom has done magic for the K12 and solved, I think pretty much all the flaws GMKTEC love to put into their mini pcs last several years, I don't have access

Total noob here - is the GMKtec K10 overkill for a 24/7 home server?

A N based cpu will easily run your photo service and basic websites, but a 100 people minecraft server? Hell no, if you search for N100 mc server experiences you will see it start lagging with single digit players. N95, N97, N150, N200 really doesnt make a difference here. The issue is that minecraf

$400 Mini that works with m2 Oculink adapter

I can absolutely recommend DeskMini x600/USB4 (or without USB4 as well). see my post . I would like to say, that I've initially got MS-A1, with the 8700G inside. I did not like the noise level of CPU fan, even for the most basic tasks, copying files or browsing. I mean, those fan is ridiculously sma

Looking for recommendations.

I ended up with the OCuLink supported GMKtec K8 Plus. Could have gotten the cheaper K12 but it already found that processor to have poor performance by comparison. I'm looking at the Aoostar AG01 dock for my set up in the future. It has a smaller footprint and uses a more robust integrated 800W serv

Questions about buying GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra from the official AliExpress store

These are a newer design with better cooling and more features. The M6 Ultra is a refresh of the older 6600H M6 that GMKtec only upgraded to the 7640HS processor. The K8 Plus and K11 have actual AMD supported processors where the K12 has a defective one for the Chinese market. I wasn't very impresse

Best Mini Pc with AMD 780m?

After helping a number of people with GEM12 issues, not a huge proponent. The two family members which bought GEM12s last year (needed 64GB of RAM) have since switched out to NucBox K8 Plus'. The PCB design is similar, although GMKtec appears to have spent more time on component sourcing & build qua

looking for a mini PC for gaming!

Will second this, K8 Plus is nice. Was my first foray into mini PCs along with GMKTec's AD-GP1 eGPU, but I wound up returning both cause I don't particularly NEED it right now, and when my (oddly specific) use case becomes a necessity I want something with more oomph and the only thing that really f
