Great timing. I got one of these last week. I've set it up for remote access to run in a remote ham radio shack. The heat generated is perfect to keep the temp perfect in the cold climate it will be in. So far the performance and reliability have been top notch.
Ya AMD cpus this generation kick butt compared to Intel in most generations. Even last gen on these minis wipe Intel 11th / some 12th gen desktops. I have. 10700k build that have as a back now. I went with a 13700K -4070 and the cpu performance jump is insane. If I was you and you can go make the jump to a 12th gen or above with the igpu for quick sync . A 12600k beats all previous generation i9’s in performance and that IGPU is great for video editing in DaVinci. Even OBS using quick sync you can record 4K60 no issues.
Sorin! Thank you for this video. I have Mini PC ASUS PN51-S1 and power limit is locked to 11W!!! No Bios options and AMD APU software cannot bypass the physical limit. Now I see your shunt mod lol I will try on the ASUS board and report! Thank you for your amazing knowledge and videos!🙏
This is working! found 1MOHM resistor coming from DC IN, Soldered over top and now can use APU tuning software!!!!! CPU now doing 30W!!!! AMAZING!!!! WE HAVE PICTURE!!!! Thank you Sorin for the example and Inspiration! 🙏🙏
Not worth it. And some people play engineers to modify electronic without knowing consquences on a long period of time. This is only to make money and..........wait till it brakes. lol people are not logic! How much some people get to advertise this pc? wake up guys!
Very cool. I wonder if you could get the board to fit in the Akasa Turing AC Pro fanless case... The NUC13VYKi5 does fit in that case (TDP up to 64w) and the rear ports look very similar to your Geekom.
I love your reviews. If at all possible, please review a Sager notebook - or, in fact, any other notebook from the Clevo white-label brand. I've always been curious about your thoughts on such machines. Also, on mini PCs, I'd like some insights about the ones from Zotac. Thanks and have a nice Friday!!
Now that's a proper nice PC! With that 90C I could heat my room!If someone would include a Google Coral or something similar, it would be a surveillance super house!power consumption would be great to know!
These need the TRRS ( Tip Ring Ring Sleeve ) adapter They have the two stereo left and right and the mic and the combined ground. I really wish they would have a separate headphone and mic ports.
I real copy of Intel NUC, but very well engeneering especialy the cooling system tht with the mod you suggest on the rear of CPU can increase performance a little more necessary... seams a good product and price in line... thank Sorin for the review... bye Francesco Timpano fram Florence Italy
Sorin, it is not a good idea to apply LM to bare copper heatsink because of diffusion LM to copper. To work with LM safely copper must be nickel plated.
I was about to say that finally NUC pricing beats an equivalent laptop. However, I found that a Minisforum is selling for the same price with 64GB RAM!🤯🤯
Yes he pronounced wrong but the speed test is actually showing Mbps, not MB/s. Anyway, for who asks, the difference is that their are 2 different unit measuring. 1 byte = 8 bits. Mbps has lowercase b, so it means bit, MB/s has instead a uppercase b, which means byte
@@ДимитърАндонов-ъ7е You are forgetting about the per second element. 1 byte = 8 bits. So a 2.5 gigabit/second is the same as 0.3125 gigabyte/second (or 320 megabyte per second which is the same).
Do you have a tutorial on how to apply liquid metal on laptops? I am worried about damaging my laptop. I love your videos and learned many things, thank you so much
picked up a nice little nuc a while back. but its not got usbc which has turned into a pain in the butt with the adapters and compatibity. i was looking to get another $30 used deal...no chance theyre all empty shells atm where people have been stripping the windows os keys out of them. (they discovered my stash 😂). worth more in parts than as a unit. i csn get a brand new basic 15" laptop for the price of some of these used ones. interested to see what sorrins selling though. cost and options. mainly looking for a good foundation for home automation.
Very impressive performance but for how long ? All that heat even with the large fan will takes it's toll sooner or later. I would rather spend this sort of outlay on a tower PC with plenty of cooling and off the shelf parts that can be replaced and upgraded.
im having mini pc which i use at work every day for the last 4 years, just change the thermal paste and it will serve you good... but for gaming i wont count on it :D
Temperatures. Liquid metal is notoriously dangerous in unexperienced hands. You can kill your computer with that stuff. So they opted to use thermal pasted instead to avoid any such risks.
@@sinchrotron I meant when it gets to the end user's hands. There's lots of cases of factory applied liquid metal that seeped through the chip and the heatsink, contacting other components and killing the system. Usually due to movement and bumps that doesn't happen to desktop PCs. You can see how this creates warranty issues. Laptop manufacturers avoids liquid metal for this reason. Except ASUS, they could handle more warranty claims I guess. Another reason is lifespan. Liquid metal pushes higher clock speeds which degrades the silicon faster, thus decreasing the manufacturer advertised lifespan. Again creating warranty issues on the distributor side.
So the only resemblance its the shape? Jeje, mate, the outside its a 1:1 perfect clone, button position, port layout, exept the colour and the logo. Why, so they can copy the motherboard as well. They are allot of companies rhat makes mini pc, dell, lenovo, hp, fudjtsu, none of them look alike. So please saying is just a box, doent cut it
Those mini PCs fail alot. Also if the fan breaks good luck finding a spare, these chinese brands do not sell spares. No BIOS updates as well. If buying a mini PC better to go for a professional one from Dell, Lenovo or HP.
@@ДимитърАндонов-ъ7е Who mentioned monthly BIOS updates? I just mentioned BIOS updates. With this brand, you get none at all. There are always firmware bugs, and exploits that need to be patched.
it is a generic laptop cooler fan, which you can find on amazon, aliexpress, etc.. you just need to make sure you match the Voltage, as they vary. I know this bit from experience, lol
It's not worth the price. Today people have lost their mind and logic. I would never pay this price. Like my cell phone, I made it myself and it's modern and brand new and it did cost me 120$ brand new.
The technique of applying liquid metal to a processor crystal raises serious questions about the competence of the author. What will prevent the liquid metal from leaving the crystal and causing a short circuit on the motherboard?..
Agreed, but make your own desing. Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a bad machine or that I wouldn't buy it, I just dont like when companies take shortuts and uses someone else desingn and not just the exterior plastic, to create a cheaper product.
@@salvamipc I don't see how, it is a small squarish box, just like any other of the small squarish cc nuc boxes on the market.. What do you want them to build it into a triangular or octagonal enclosure, which while cool, would be impractical. The popular saying, 'Why re-invent the wheel?' works well in this situation.
Thank you for reviewing our product. Your feedback on GEEKOM products is highly valuable to us!
People have to have a monitor for a mini PC so why not have them in a monitor? This gives you a huge heat sink area.
@@liveuk no it doesnt

Didn't know Sorin has a beast PC. Delidded 14900k? Holy. Also love the janky mods. Actual nice performance improvement.
Very nice! It would be nice to see the transfer speeds over USB C to an external SSD to know how it would be for video edititng etc.

Good review, but the USB ports you referenced as USB 4 are USB 3.2 no?
Hello Sorin :)

Which liquid metal company would you recommend ? :)

Network speed is counted in BITS per second, not bytes. So it’s 2.5 GigaBITS per second.
could you "say more" about it please, maybe some educational video on YT or a topic? thx

Anyway, for who asks, the difference is that their are 2 different unit measuring. 1 byte = 8 bits. Mbps has lowercase b, so it means bit, MB/s has instead a uppercase b, which means byte
you know that there is correlation between the two metrics so its the same think to say there is 1 hour or 60 minutes :D
@@ДимитърАндонов-ъ7е You are forgetting about the per second element. 1 byte = 8 bits. So a 2.5 gigabit/second is the same as 0.3125 gigabyte/second (or 320 megabyte per second which is the same).
Only thing that is missing on that little PC would be a CPU in a socket, it would make it perfect then I guess. :)

Looks very similar to the Intel NUC one that I have.
It's have no any cupon for Indian people 😊
Cause it's based on the NUC
Hmm I want one
bos, liquid metal is not friendly to copper heatsink... it will corrode from time to time.... only nickel plated heatsink will b fine..
It could have been much nicer. For example, if it had a speaker connector soldered, you could hear the bios beep on boot.
Nice little monster💪🏻

Who better geekom vs beelink ?
There goes Sorin's warranty 😄
I wonder how it would perform with that Honeywell phase change TIM vs liquid metal
Would be nice if you could send the display wirelessly to your mobile phone.
say hello to sorin tweaking
is that liquid metal not getting more liquid/fluid at higher temp?
Sorin style review 😅
Cool...
can you add cpu heatsink?
Nice 👍
Of course Sorin would delid his processor
I have a question what is the warranty on the unit and how much is it with the discount thanks
Very impressive performance but for how long ?

@@ДимитърАндонов-ъ7е For moderate use and some maintenance they will last, but not for long
if the cpu is at a very high core temperature.
Have you scanned it for hidden virus. As there have been other Min pc with embedded virus from factory
windows 11, the biggest virus.
Can this mini pc use for playing 4k videos?
In 2 weeks the liquid metal will eat the copper! Non't use on copper heatsink!
👍👍👌👌
I feel decived. Why I cannot get full power from the factory?
