Overview
A six-core Ryzen PRO chip cooled by dual fans powers this GMKtec mini PC, with three BIOS power modes to trade noise for speed. Fast USB, OCuLink and two quick Ethernet ports open it up to external GPUs, fast storage and network projects.
Unusual expansion for its size, including OCuLink and dual fast Ethernet, suits tinkerers and small servers as well as desks. Memory is fixed, so the configuration you buy is the one you keep.
Who it's for
Home offices, NAS and router projects, multi-monitor desks and light gaming. Heavy gamers will outgrow integrated graphics.
Pros and cons
- Dual 2.5GbE networking
- USB4 and OCuLink expansion
- Three display outputs
- Room for two more SSDs
- Memory not user-replaceable
- OCuLink not hot-swappable
- Integrated graphics only
Performance notes
BIOS power modes cap the processor's wattage, which sets how loud the fans run versus how fast it works. Integrated graphics run mainstream games at modest settings, while OCuLink opens a path to external PCIe hardware.
