- GMKTec G5 BIOS Update Dated May 22, 2024
Increases GPU clocks from 1000MHz to 1200MHz
Since another user mentioned they had an issue with activation of Windows after the BIOS update, I thought I'd let you know that I had that issue too. Initially I went to activate Windows and it said incompatible key. But after a couple days I tried again by clicking the "I change hardware on my system recently" (or something like that), and it activated just fine.

Nice! I got mine G5 without SSD from Taobao for $107!
Seems like a one off deal. But you can get them cheap thru official page for like 160 EUR with ssd here in Europe 😉 Saves you the windows key mess around, etc. Most people buy too powerful stuff they never use, this is perfect pricing to find out your bounderies without much financial risk.
Thank you for this video. Was actually just playing through shadow of the tomb raider, but couldn't manage to get adequate frame rates. After this bios update it becomes just about playable.
Good to see that the update made some discernible difference.
Nice update. I'm still testing but my focus is on Retro Gaming and this thing has exceeded my expectations. I'm running my fan @ 100% and maybe I have a good fan as, noise is not an issue here. (Or my tolerance is greater perhaps) I don't have a meter (other than using a phone app) to test however. Again, just want to mention how fast this thing cools when CPU load is stopped and the 105c MAX temp Intel state for the N97. When i'm all done, I will probably make a video..
Nice! I look forward to your video if you release one.
How's this thing run GameCube Games? I have heard mixed reviews.
It would be interesting to see 3dmark results at 12w and 15w
thx bro😊
I got mine a couple weeks ago, and it already came with BIOS 1.01
It's a nice little box but the temperatures seems a bit high to me. Do you think that repasting (using ptm7950) could improve things?
Try adjusting the fan profile. In the BIOS go to Advanced -> Hardware Monitor -> Set Smart Fan mode to "Software Mode" -> Set Manual PWM Setting to "255". This will set the fan to full speed. Check temps then. (4:07 in video).
Check temps, and if it works OK, then you can set it back to Automatic Mode, and set Fan off to 30, Fan Start 50, Fan Full Speed 60 or 65. Or play with the settings to whatever works for you.
I'd only repaste if the temps remain high with fan at high speed and at your own discretion and skill and comfort level with disassembling the unit.
cool
Hi! with the original power adapter, do you think can the g5 power a portable usb3 hdd ?
please note the same hdd is powered fine by the pi5. ( western digital my passport usb3 4tb )
After the update my windows got deactivated and could not be reactivated with the included oem license, what's your experience ?
I had a similar experience, as it gave me the "Actiavate Windows" watermark for the first day or two. I didn't mention it in the video because I figured it was a Windows server activation issue based on the error code.
After a couple days I went to manually activate it by clicking on the "I updated hardware recently" option and it activated just fine. I just figured it was Microsoft being Microsoft as I've run into this in the past.
If it doesn't activate, I would contact GMKtec and they should be able to provide you with an updated key.
@@htwingnut I contacted GMKtec. They were not willing to provided an updated key so I bought a new licence at my own cost. I think you need to register the device with Microsoft BEFORE upgrading the bios by hooking up an MS account, then the machine is registered and recognised when you update the bios. I was using a local account only with the original bios which was my preference for this device. Thanks for the awesome content btw! Now I want to purchase a more powerful develoment machine but I'm put off GMKtec support after this incident.
