5.0 out of 5 stars Big performance in a compact package

c. · 3 May 2025

The media could not be loaded. I previously owned an Intel-based GMKtec NUC for my home lab, so I had a good idea of what to expect, but the Ryzen 7-powered NucBox K6 greatly exceeded my expectations.I picked the model with 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. It’s astonishing how they’ve managed to pack so much power into such a tiny box that’s slightly smaller than a CD case and about as thick as a chunky holiday novel. Its dark grey plastic casing fits neatly beneath my monitor stand.Initially, I’d planned to upgrade my existing home lab setup, but after experiencing Windows 11 out-of-the-box and giving Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 a spin, plans quickly changed. Previously, I relied on emulation and medium settings; now I’m comfortably running this demanding game at high resolutions, with HDR and detailed graphics settings matching my monitor’s capabilities beautifully.My Geekbench 6 results confirm the excellent performance:* Single-core CPU score: 2,497 (fast, responsive performance for daily tasks and gaming).* Multi-core CPU score: 11,977 (handles multitasking and heavy workloads smoothly).* GPU compute score (Vulkan): 37,343 (outstanding integrated graphics performance, ideal for getting in the cockpit).Regarding fan noise, which I’d read mixed opinions about, it’s genuinely not an issue. Under normal workloads, I hardly notice it. It ramps up during graphically intensive games, but since these typically come with loud audio, my headphones completely mask the noise.Out of curiosity, I took the unit apart just to explore its internals. I was genuinely impressed by how easy it was to dismantle, with careful engineering clearly visible. Components snap back securely with just a firm but steady hand to ensure a satisfying click. The good thermal paste coverage I noticed likely contributes significantly to keeping this powerful little machine cool.My only slight criticisms are software-related. The Windows 11 installation included pre-loaded Microsoft Office click-to-run apps that took longer than I’d expected to uninstall. The out-of-the-box config also has a local policy disabling automatic driver updates, presumably for stability, but GMKtec need to make their driver downloads clearer, particularly stating when drivers were last updated to avoid unnecessary large downloads.One other minor suggestion: the printed leaflet could easily be replaced or supplemented by a downloadable PDF manual, fitting better with today’s digital-first lifestyle.Overall, the GMKtec NucBox K6 is excellent value, especially if you can combine it with one of the frequent Bolo vouchers. It’s perfect as a powerful compact gaming rig, yet equally suited to home lab tasks or a small workstation.I plan to expand my setup with a docking solution via USB 4.0 and DisplayPort soon, but I dont evisage any compatabilitty issues. I’ll update this review only if something unexpected arises, but I doubt that’ll be necessary!Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact, Understated, yet Powerful, and Surprisingly Capable

A.C. · 17 March 2025

This mini PC is an impressive little machine. It handles daily tasks effortlessly, from browsing and office work to 4K media playback. For gaming, the Ryzen 9 6950H and Radeon 680M manage e-sports and older AAA games at smooth at 1080p and sometimes even 1440p. If you need more power use the Oculink port that allows for an external GPU, which is a great future-proofing feature.Cooling is efficient and quiet most of the time, though the fan can get noticeably lauder under heavy load. Thankfully, the BIOS lets you tweak power and fan settings so you can adjust them to your preference. With USB4, HDMI 2.1, dual 2.5Gb LAN, and expandable RAM & storage, it’s well-equipped for both work and entertainment and has room for upgrades, future-proofing my purchase.This is a great buy if you’re after a compact yet high-performance mini PC. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable for Work and Light Gaming – Impressive Performance with Minor Drawbacks

M. · 16 April 2025

Review:I purchased the GMKTec K11 for personal use and have tested it for a few weeks across office tasks, creative work, and casual gaming. Here’s my honest take:Everyday Use:It handles 4K streaming, multitasking, and everyday apps really well. The setup took around 40 minutes for updates, but it’s been smooth since then.Gaming:I was surprised by how playable some recent AAA games were at low to medium settings. It’s not made for ultra graphics, but it’s definitely good enough for casual gaming.Creative Work:Solid for 1080p photo/video editing. 4K editing is slower but manageable for short projects.Design:It’s compact and saves a ton of desk space. Power usage stays low, even during longer sessions.Pros:- Quiet during light tasks; minimal footprint- Responsive performance for work and light gamingCons:- RGB lighting stays on, no option to turn off- Fans get louder under heavier workloads- Needed a manual graphics driver install to get dual screens workingFinal Thoughts:Overall, I’m really happy with this little machine. It’s become my go-to for work, streaming, and casual gaming sessions. The RGB lights staying on and fan noise under load are minor annoyances, but easy to live with considering how well it performs. If you need something compact and efficient for everyday tasks, content editing, or light AAA gaming at medium settings, this does the job nicely. Just keep in mind it’s not meant to replace a full-on gaming PC.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blue screen

Bought this mini computer k11 on first starting it seemed like the windows had been half loaded, however i completed the setup with my account and so forth. got computer working no problems fer day or two then on starting it up went into blue screen it did that each time I tried to start the computer so went into bios and set the first boot option to windows boot sector instead of usb then I set the second option to hard drive and computer has booted up no problems since. touch wood. So the moral of the story is if you buy this computer and get blue screen do as i did and you'll have no problems really good computer love it.

Small, fast, quiet, efficient, Mini PC

E.J.J. · 25 May 2024

My home office PC is getting old, and I wanted to upgrade to a faster, more powerful and more power efficient PC. The GMKtec K7 plus will be used for general office work, PC-CAD, spreadsheets and some financial software.The GMKtec K7 Plus was well-packaged and received quickly. The unit is compact and, although the case is plastic, appears very solid and functional. The build quality is good, noting that even the case screws had threadlocker applied. I installed a second 1TB SSD in the available slot and it was recognized promptly. I used the included VESA mount to mount the mini-PC to the back of my monitor for a clean desktop configuration.The AMI BIOS is version “NucBox K7PLUS 3.20 x64” dated 3/20/24 and includes many settings that could be tweaked; however, I found the default settings to be perfect for my use.The Windows 11 Pro version installed smoothly, was activated properly, and I was especially pleased that it did not contain any bloatware! It is so nice to receive a new PC and not have to spend hours cleaning off unwanted junkware.After installing my office software, browser and a couple CAD programs, I tested the unit trying to see how much it could handle. Even running 3 simultaneous 4K streams, I could not get the CPU over 30% utilization. This PC has power to spare! I ran the programs overnight and the maximum CPU temp never exceeded 55C. This PC is very quiet, but not silent…you can hear the slight hum of the CPU cooler and the system fan.The GMKtec K7 Plus is power efficient. The included power supply is rated 120 W, but the most I could measure with all my software running hard was 45 W. Under normal use, (office and browsing operations), the PC consumes about 17-19 W. When in sleep mode, the power consumption is 1.6 W.The included PCIe (v3) NVME 1 TB SSD proved very fast as seen on the attached CrystalDiskMark results. From cold boot to Windows 11 in 16 seconds! The included 32GB DDR5 is more than adequate for all my present needs but can be upgraded to 64GB if needed.This PC will fill all my needs for the foreseeable future, and I recommend it for anyone who needs a small, fast, quiet and power-efficient min-PC.
