GMKtec Gaming Mini PC K8 Plus AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS(8C/16T, up to 5.1GHz) 32GB DDR5 RAM 2TB SSD, Desktop Computer Dual NIC 2.5G, HDMI 2.1, USB4

The GMKtec K11 instantly proves that a mini PC can pack a flagship‑class performance. Powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS (8 cores/16 threads, up to 5.2 GHz) and 64 GB of DDR5 RAM, the system handles 4K gaming, heavy multitasking, and demanding content‑creation workloads without a hint of lag. The compact chassis stays cool thanks to a well‑designed vapor‑chamber cooler and a whisper‑quiet fan, so the machine runs silently even under sustained loads. Setup is a breeze—plug‑and‑play with Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, multiple USB‑C/3.2 ports, and a full‑sized HDMI 2.1 output. The 512 GB NVMe SSD (upgrade‑ready) boots Windows 11 in seconds, and the built‑in GPU (integrated Radeon Graphics) delivers smooth frame rates in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1080p/144 Hz. For a device this small, the K11’s performance is nothing short of spectacular. It’s perfect for compact gaming rigs, portable workstations, or anyone who wants desktop‑level horsepower without a bulky tower. Highly recommended for power users on the move!

Great mini PC, great build quality, solid and compact. Of course considering the current memory situation, the included 32GB SODIMMs are TWSC instead of Crucial or a more renowned brand, but that's okay. TM5 passes just fine. Stable during extended torture testing, it can take a beating. The included vapor chamber is a great cooling solution, it truly shines with PTM7950. About a 10 degrees C drop at full load on the stock fan curve, and burst performance/use doesn't even move the fan curve thanks to the improved thermal conductivity and overall thermal solution. The included W11 Pro license is real. A digital license, a reinstall activated automatically. The two NICs are Intel I226-v. Heard the name realtek around this model, but at least in this unit both are not. Great for dev work if you have your workstation, your monitors and preferred peripherals, beats a laptop's specs and sustained performance every time for the same price. This is a better deal IMO relative to current Zen5 offerings with two CCXs and the terrible latency in between them. Zen4 is still a powerhouse at 54w and the RDNA3 iGPU is pretty decent still for the power envelope. Runs LLMs in usable fashion if you have the memory to throw at. Apart from getting the non neutered Phoenix chip in the second best bin, you also get the Gen1 AMD NPU for whatever it's worth if anything ever makes use of it. Would buy again, eyes closed!

I purchased this about a week ago to replace my 11 year old desktop PC and I'm very happy with the purchase. Setup was a piece of cake and I was blown away by the download speeds I am getting. It's infinitely faster and more capable than my old PC was, uses a fraction of the power and takes up a fraction of the space. I don't do any heavy gaming, so it meets my needs nicely and was well worth the price. I haven't had any issues with cooling but I don't think I'm taxing it too much either as I'm running a single 4k monitor and mostly running old games.

Very good for the money. Testing gave this about an 80% overall performance rating (+80% CPU, Memory, Disk). The GPU however was 43%. This is because the GPU is a lap top model limited by space in the compact unit. Thus not going to be good for high level gaming but just fine for older and less performance criteria games. I'm very happy with it and performs on the games I play. Just don't expect it to be a gaming powerhouse.

Works really well, I quite enjoy it the igpu can handle a lot of games and do a lot of work and if you ever wanna upgrade there's the occulink, I had mine for almost a year and my CPU fan failed but I reached out to support and they sent me a replacement for free since I was still within warranty so the PC is good and the support is even better.

I've been using the Nucbox K8 Plus with 64GB DDR5 and 1TB storage for a few weeks now, and it's been nothing short of impressive. This little box packs a punch — fast boot times, smooth multitasking, and excellent performance with demanding apps. Despite its small size, it handles everything from work tasks to light creative projects without slowing down. The 64GB of DDR5 RAM makes a big difference when juggling multiple applications, and the 1TB NVMe SSD is fast and spacious enough for heavy file storage. The build quality feels solid, and it runs surprisingly cool and quiet. Setup was quick, and all the ports I needed were there — USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet — making it easy to connect everything I use. Great choice if you need a reliable, high-performance mini PC for productivity, media, or multitasking in a compact footprint. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

If you want to play a game other than Roblox or Minecraft you WILL NEED TO PURCHASE AN EXTERNAL GPU. This machine will not download the game from the Rockstar launcher because it has 1G of Video RAM. GTA5 requires 4. An external GPU costs more than this entire PC unless you buy one from ebay used. EVERY GAME is unplayable and laggy out of the box. It does premeire and photoshop ok I guess. I definitely would have not purchased has I known. Misleading description.

It worked fine, was a tiny powerhouse of a machine for several months. 64GB of RAM 1TB NVME seemed pretty good on paper. Kept relatively quiet too. However recently after only 8 months of use Bluetooth has failed, hardware components have stopped working like sensors. I've reinstalled Windows several times and no luck in getting them working again. Even tried linux to see if it was a driver issue. Still no luck.
