Damn dude, take my sub and like! I normally never comment but you went trough this mini pc 100% and answered all my possible questions and once i didn't even think of. Thanks for feeding my nerdy brain. Waiting for my GMKtec k8 plus to arrive. :)
Interesting that GMKtec no longer lists this model and replaced it with the K8 Plus which they call a "re-design of the K8". The new larger fan looks to address the heating issue.
@@htwingnut I got the k8 plus a few days ago and can say the new aluminium case, top lid design, larger top fan and oculink port are definitely worth the small price increase.
Thank you for that input. I haven't had to deal with their customer service. All I know is that they have been more than accommodating with my requests so far. But I 'll look into their customer support as I know the product quality and features are only as good as the company support.
From what I generally see, the key complaints are regarding shipping times when ordering from China, where many points along the way can be bottlenecks outside of a companies control. Luckily this seems one of those brand that can often be sourced locally from sites with quick delivery and free returns. None the less, it is always a very worthwhile consideration before a final purchase and one that should not be ignored or assumed, regardless of what others say, including me.
Great review with all the details, thanks a lot :-) I just ordered a K8 Plus, excited to see what it brings.

Thanks and glad you took the time to sit through this lengthy review.
Best test bench in YT, great video
Great review, and...great CPU.

Thanks. Yeah that is quite odd. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on the K8 Plus then.

Listing for this on Amazon says this comes with 4TB possible capacity expandable to 8TB.But it only has two slots. How do you get 8 TB?
Probably referring to dual 4TB SSD's
same processor legion slim 5?
30. Don’t but GMKTec, if you did a review on their customer service you’ll know why.
