[SIC] Really good Ryzen mini PC

[Apex]

Yeah they drop and pickup shipment along the way. So can't expect than pick up in country x and come sg directly.

But for mine item it says arrived in sg than next days (yesterday) says it in China lol. Now out for delivery (today) Tracking not accurate.

Actually most of the time when they say its out for delivery, it is indeed the case.

Ok just arrived 20 mins ago.

My first AMD CPU

 

[watzup_ken]

Very impressed with the build, size vs processing power of this tiny PC. Opening it to upgrade is really easy as well, plus Lenovo also included the SATA cable. So one can easily pop in a SATA drive for extra storage. My unit comes with a Western Digital SN730 SSD.

Joined the bandwagon also. Another 4.5% potentially with shopback.

my sub $400 sub 15w mini pc

it was $360 during flash sale ******************

box

has 4 usb 3 inputs, triple 4k display

smaller than 35w/45w/65w deskmini

cpu is plenty fast. able to render 4k in real time. normal web browsing less than 6w so it runs cool at 50 degrees C

Comes with WD nvme ssd

uses less than 15w for 1080p gaming. Doesnt exceed 70 degrees even at 100% load. can play high settings in 720p. 4k is also possible if you change rendering to 50% for games that support it


this is a better buy than dual core intel nuc which runs damn hot

zhng my mini pc.

Can add ram (bios locked at 2400MHz), SATA, upgrade nvme and change from single antenna realtek at ax200

Before

After

Location for sata header doesnt align with location of ssd so the cable will bend.

nvme speed about 300MBps lower than expected for read / write

FPS increased by 50% from 30 to 45 after adding 1 more ram stick

Hi yusoffb01,

I am new to hardware assembly and wanted to get something like yours. Hope you can help to answer some newb questions.

1. You bought at about $382 after all the discount. According to the page. Is this the
AMD Ryzen™ 5 PRO 2500U for Mini PC25 (2.0 GHz, up to 3.6 GHz) or
AMD Ryzen™ 5 3450U for Mini PC34 (2.1 GHz, up to 3.5 GHz)

2. Am I correct to understand that you upgraded the following:
a. Replace the WD 256GB NVMe SSD with Samsung 970 Evo 1TB
- are there existing connector for the Evo 1TB SSD?
- throw away 256GB?
b. Added another card of identical Crucial 8GB DDr4-2666 ?
c. Added Zotac Sata SSD (but cable got problem?)
d. Totally lost with "single antenna realtek at ax200" no matter how i google.

3. When you upgrade your mini pc, can share the details of parts you get (where/type/price etc)?

Thanks in advance for the help.

lol. all are standard parts.
2500u you can see screenshots. 3450u is less than 8% faster quadcore but too expensive. youre better off getting asus pn50 with 6 core 4500u

any nvme ssd is compatible. sold away 240gb at carousell.

I got crucial but brands doesnt matter. its the cheapest $32 at lazada for 8gb. you can get sk hynix too.

cable doesnt align so it bends when i close case. but it works

realtek is single antenna. you can replace with dual antenna intel ax200 for faster wifi

Hi bro, can i ask you is this mini pc good enough for basic Photoshop (like editing photos lesser than 5mb) and video editing of short few minutes clip not higher than 1080p ??
Thanks.

Hi yusoffb01,

Thanks for the super fast response.

Forget to ask, the Zotac Sata SSD with cable you got from Lazada too? What is the price like?

As for replacing the realtek with dual antenna intel ax200 for faster wifi, I cannot even find the realtek/ax200 from the photo. Please help to explain (or photo) a little more on how/where to do it?

Finally, if you still have the links to all your purchase, will be very helpful if you can share here (or pm).

Thanks again.

If you look at the picture carefully you will see a small green pcb below the black nvme SSD. That should be the wifi card.

In my experience, sn730 is faster than samsung evo 970

whats the est final price after upgrade? close to $600? still cheaper than your desk mini.

good buy. whats the temp like running torrent client? can 24/7? does it heat up.
