GMKTec Nucbox G5 PART 2 

Your thorough reviews of this kind of hardware are very much appreciated. It's rare to see such detailed reviews of smaller Chinese products like these. Keep up the great work!😊

Wow, that was a solid 2 part review of this unit. Clean, clear, concise. I find it hard to believe you are only at 4.59K sub's. I'm in, subbed.

Wow! What an extensive survey with both video’s, very professional.

Awesome follow-up video! I am ordering this little G5 box now.

Thank you for doing a follow up video on the G5. As always, your time and efforts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the great follow-up! Personally I'd stick with the original Sata SSD, as I think the real world performance gain isn't worth the price of a new NVME SSD in this case.

Nice tip about the oobe command to bypass online setup. One of my many gripes about win11 haha. cheers

Excellent video! Thanks for doing this!

After watching your 2 videos on this mini PC i bit the bullet and bought one and i am very pleased with the performance. I was a little worried about spy/malware so i ran a Norton power eraser (rootkit) full scan and a microsoft MRT full scan both showed no problems, is there anything else that i should do to put my mind at ease. Regarding the usb problem i just use my computer for emails, streaming and general web browsing nothing to heavy but i have connected a few different external drives, printers etc to all the usb ports without any problems so maybe gmktech have fixed the problem. Keep up the good work.

My 2TB Inland SSD works just fine. Uses 2 3.0 PCI lanes, gets similar performance to what you found. I put the SSD that came with the computer directly into an enclosure before I booted the G5 and scanned it. No viruses. I pretty much match your results.

the nvme has a higher power draw than what the USB port can supply

That underpowered USB port is a shame as otherwise it's not too bad. I suspect that the N97 will become the new darling, becoming more popular than the N100, resulting in more boxes coming out.

i've got a machine with the N-305 in it, and have been pretty impressed so far! got a question about some odd behavior though. when i was testing it on a game it seems to downclock the GPU. the N-305 is supposed to go up to 1.25Ghz but it likes to sit around the mid 900s.. i checked thermals and that is not it. do you know of a utility that would help trouble shoot the issue? curious if it's power constraints..

Thanks for the in-depth review. My usb3.0 WD mypassport 4tb HDD doesn't require external power when plugged to my Pi5. Will it work with the G5? Does the G5 supply the same level or more of power to USB ports? Maybe using a 65w usbc brick would supply enough to the usb ports? what do you think?

Hi! does it have LPDDR5 or normal DDR5? I guess they're single channel?

in the type C power adapter cable is there only 2 cables? positive and negative cable? I'm asking because let's say if the original Power Adapter became faulty, I can just buy a normal power adapter and join the original type c cable and normal power adapter together by cutting off half the original cable- as a replacement.

They list 2TB as MAX storage size, anyone tried larger?

Can this PC be powered via USB port on a monitor?

Can these devices (the N100 as well) actually manage up to 3 monitors at 4k ? (Maybe looking to get one of these for a trading rig with 2-3 monitors)
