  DDR4 in a i9-13900H is certainly a... choice.
  Does it at least support overclocked XMP profiles? Like 1.35V DDR4-3200 CAS16, or 1.35V DDR4-4000 CAS19.
  
  The 2.5in drive bay is an crazy choice, considering it thermally throttles.
  
  2242 SATA SSD? Really? It doesn't even have a second 2280 NVMe slot?
  
  I guess on the plus side, someone will tinker and figure out how to slap on a cooler that can handle the i9. Reply

  xmp is not designed to load by default. in that case there is no way xmp is supported at all.
  just watch the video too see how barebones that bios is. Reply

  oh man, that mini-PC is pure sadness. Can't even run fast DDR4 SODIMM, on top of being hamstrung by poor cooling. Reply

  It's a good value all things considered but I can't help but think what a waste of silicon this is. Reply

  So basically it should be using a far more power efficient CPU or a more substantial cooling solution or both. And it's limited to 16GB of DDR4. That's like Acer levels of corner cutting. Reply

  The CPU is good, just that it needs to be configured for a package power of at least 40W.
  
  As for memory support, I am sure nothing prevents installation of 2x 32GB DDR4-3200 SODIMMs. It is just that the pre-configured system available from GEEKOM comes with 2x 16GB DDR4-3200 SODIMMs. Reply

  Agree. This unit would benefit greatly from better airflow, similar to what the Beelink GTR/GTR Pro now has. As it is, not really that convincing, and there are better mini PCs for the money. Reply
