New GK3PLUS model?

Post by 0s&1s »

Hi!
I recently got a GK3PLUS mini PC. I'm satisfied with the mini PC, but I noticed it's a bit different, compared with the online pictures. I attach a few pictures where it can be noted that:

1. The ventilation hole from the lower part of the case is bigger.
2. The CPU fan is bigger, also the cooler is black and bigger.
3. Both the RAM and the SSD are accessible from top of device. On the bottom of main board only the fan can be found.
4. There is an internal connector, unused, that looks like USB-C. I know AK1 model for example uses that connector for the SATA dock.

I'm happy with these improvements, but I just want to confirm if this is a new hardware revision or is this another product labeled as GK3PLUS.

I can provide a review for this device if anyone is interested. I measured a few things like power consumption, CPU/GPU load when playing 4K HDR 60 fps movies, or when playing games, Windows/Linux compatibility, hardware decoding for HEVC MKV files using several players under Windows and Linux.

Thanks.

hi
ich habe mir auch den GK3PLUS mit N97 CPU und 16GB RAM und 512GB NVME-SSD gekauft.
Ich war auch etwas erstaunt, dass die Hardware anscheinend doch anders ist als bei den N95 Modellen. Meiner sieht gehau so aus wie deiner. 8-)
Konntest du die MB-Bezeichnung finden? ich bin gespannt, ob es irgendwann ein Biosupdate geben wird...
