    Just an FYI: When posting deals for Aliexpress items that are shipped from overseas you'll need to add the item to the cart and then proceed to checkout to see the final price. The 10% GST is hidden until you get to the final step.

        • AeymothSky on 23/06/2025 - 13:26

          Yeah, is the PRO model better than PLUS?

          cause it seems to be.

          I got '1' of the soyo m4 pro previously and it's really impressed me with how small and quiet it is.

          The only other mini pc like device I have is a mini dell optiplex.

            @AeymothSky: well it must be better - it has the word "pro" in the title :)
            Seems a bit better on ports and versions e.g. Wifi 6, power on uSB etc. However I did notice this model has a display port whereas the Pro has dual Hdmi. go figure !

      • mybrains on 23/06/2025 - 14:46

        Grok tells me - 5.5mm outer diameter x 2.5mm inner diameter (5.5x2.5mm barrel connector), 12VDC 2.5A to 4A

        • gizmomelb on 23/06/2025 - 19:48

          usb C typically does not supply 12V (9V or 15V being the closest) so using usb c power with this device might kill it.

          • mybrains on 23/06/2025 - 22:12

            @gizmomelb: Grok3 - 12V can be achieved with USB-C using the USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) specification. If you're using a USB 3.0 port with a USB-C adapter that supports USB-PD, and both the charger and device negotiate PPS (Programmable Power Supply), 12V could be possible. Without USB-PD or PPS, a standard USB 3.0 port cannot deliver 12V. GaN chargers with 65W or higher often have USB-PD ratings - check their specs.

      just be aware that even if the pc has a usb c port, it may not support power over usb c (or may not support the automatic power leveling / supply voltage) function.

    This or GMKtec G2 Mini for $112.68 USD?

    • mybrains on 23/06/2025 - 12:55

      good find. The GMktec has 12gb ram, this one has 16GB. GMltec CPU is listed a 3.4Ghz, this one 3.6Ghz. small differences

      • Jaduqimon on 23/06/2025 - 13:06
        +7

        the big difference is the GMktec has USB-C PD

        • mybrains on 23/06/2025 - 13:14

          not trying to be smart Jaduqimon, but worth explaining to others why this is a big difference. For instance you want to buy extra a locally approved USB C power adapter over the included one or you want to power an external device over USB C from the PC. The first I get, but the latter could be worked around with a powered USB C hub.

            @mybrains: saves using a separate wallwart.

            If you have it in a rack, you can power multiple devices from a single USB PSU, charge devices etc.

              +2

              @impoze: The problem with powering a mini PC from a single USB power supply that charges multiple devices is that plugging and unplugging other devices will momentarily disconnect power to the mini PC.

            • gizmomelb on 25/06/2025 - 12:24

              @impoze: IUSB PC cannot supply different voltages simultaneously, so unless all devices need the same voltage, you're likely to end up killing devices / causing a fire hazard.

            +1

            @mybrains: having USB-C PD means you wont need a dedicated power point/plug just to power this one device. You can use USB-C power hubs as an example: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/882615

            Also most modern TVs have USB power so you can run this device and mount it to the back of the TV without running an extra cable for power.

            every company, even Apple is shifting to USB-C and most laptops these days support USB-C so it is a huge advantage being able to power the device via USB-C over a proprietary/stand alone power plug.

              +3

              @Jaduqimon: I generally agree that USB-C PD is a big plus, but I haven't heard of any TVs with USB-C PD i.e. outputting more than 5v? Do you have TV examples that can do this?

              A word of caution with using multi USB-C PD outputs to power multiple devices is that most chargers will need to renegotiate PD power every time a new device is plugged in - unexpected power loss is not good for a computer without a battery so you need to be careful with it. Here's a good explainer: https://youtu.be/dG2v4FHwJjE

            • seanfoite on 23/06/2025 - 14:26

              @Jaduqimon: Would a TV put out enough power over the USB to actually power the miniPC? I would be pleasantly surprised if it did.

              • Jaduqimon on 23/06/2025 - 14:28

                @seanfoite: hmm yeh you guys are right. upon searching, only the latest gen TVs and only some support USB-C PD.

                I've been mounting these to the back of my monitor which does have USB-C PD. i thought TV these days would be similar to monitors.

    I have the Soyo M4 Pro. Same specs as this one but adds USB-C and I think dual HDMI.
    Good use case for a little server. Mine is just hosting a Jellyfin Server. I did dabble with Linux on it but kept having issues because hardware kept changing depending which room I was using this in, so went back to Win11Pro. Perfectly fine now.

      I have the Soyo M4 Pro as I mentioned above. I've never heard the fan on this thing and mine runs 24/7 in Darwin (it's hot up here). But take that how you will, I also have industrial deafness so that could also be why.. haha.

          I can still hear alright. Industrial deafness just means I can't hear high pitched noises like mosquitoes, and maybe high pitch fans (but if that was going off, so would my wife), and I can't differentiate noises in loud places. My mini PC sits in a quiet room with nothing else - haven't ever heard a peep from it. Aircon is only turned on in there when I'm in there too. Average room temp would be 30-35 depending on time of year, aircon'd down to 24.

    • mybrains on 23/06/2025 - 14:03

      no experience with this box till its delivered, but a suggestion to look into utilities that monitor CPU temp and adjust fans accordingly. here is an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDPKVKBMQU8

      PS these little guys can run hot 24/7 so you may want to consider bolting on a big 120mm Noctura quiet fan on the outside of the case (hacking with a dremel may be needed and much fun lol). Also I read about ppl using a heat temp gun to identify hot spots and slap on heatsinks.

    I've had a couple of similar boxes over the past year or two (Kamrui, same kinda thing), the fans always crap themselves and start grinding after a few months of being on 24/7 as a jellyfin/game server. Tried cleaning em but the bearings were gone. cheap crappy fans.

    Amazon have been very easy with returns. Aliexpress i would expect not so much. Bios did not have adjustable fan curve or anything. Might be okay if you're handy with a screwdriver.

    • netsurfer on 23/06/2025 - 15:06

      AliExpress is a pain for warranty. They will pretend to really want to help you, but the manufacturer / seller would reply with some BS excuse. Mine had faulty RAM (soldered on the board, can't replace) and I provided videos showing crashes and heaps of memory errors. AliExpress Support's final respond was because the memory chips are soldered on, no warranty can be provided (despite I re-iterated due to memory being soldered on, I need the whole board replaced; if the RAM weren't soldered on, I would be happy to buy new RAM modules). BIOS has zero option to adjust the memory frequency.

    For those who are running Win 11 as a HTPC.
    Be sure to update to the latest Intel graphics driver https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/inte…

    In the Intel Graphics Software, change the colorspace to "Full" otherwise it will look washed out.
