This Nerd Octaxe easily hit 15.5/th no problem and stays under 60c fairly easily. When my room got in the 80s it warmed up to 65c which is not bad at all in my opinion. The VR heatsinks keep work great and run around 10c cooler than the board. It comes with a very nice power supply rated for 460w ready for stable over clocking right out of the box. Dont upgrade the firmware or youll get locked out of 15/th and get capped at 13.8/th.

Never buying a laptop again. EVER.

Using Lemonade Server for local AI tasks and it works very well. Using the AMD XRT PPA the NPU is supported, and there are plenty of community resources online (youtube, discord, github) to help get started doing stuff. It's fast enough and got plenty of memory for running 120B models or doing big vibe coding projects. Token generation between 35-50 tokens per second which isn't screaming fast but is quite usable. 1024x1024 Flux-2-Klein-4B runs in under 2 minutes with a 2048 token prompt. Highly power efficient. My regular ryzen workstation idles at 80W, 10x more than the 8W of this box. Good thermal management, it doesn't make a whole lot of noise in balanced mode even when doing sustained work.


Small size. Good specs. Good performance. Did not have to use MS Account. Lots of connectors.


compact, good pricing, decent IO for the formfactor, can fit in 1U of space in Rack, powerful six-core CPU, you can add your own RAM and multiple drives that you already own, 2.5Gb LAN is a very nice to have! I've owned multiple of the older 4500u skew and all four of them have been rock solid since our purchase.

- able to fit both my 3050 and 3060, from MSI, along with my PNY A2000 in the case - easy to follow instructions with very clear pictures - incredible cooling - easy disassembly and assembly - 4 NVME slots - removable intake duct for the CPU cooler to allow for another PCIe card to be installed


Very fast and quiet, easy to setup. Plugged in all peripherals everything works.


Fast boot time, speedy internals. Runs proxmox with little to no hassle Handles most linux distros with ease. Small form factor and surprisingly modular, I was pleasantly supersized with the amount of onboard M.2 slots.

- Lots of cores and high clock speed - Integrated cooling assembly (standard 120mm fan sold separately) - Supports 96GB RAM - 2.5G LAN - Powerful iGPU with configurable memory allocation - mITX size takes up minimal amount of space


Windows 11 Pro preinstalled. No bloatware; just a nice clean Windows install. Everything is as described. 2 USB4 ports, one in front, one in back. 1 HDMI. 1 DisplayPort. 4K @ 60 Hz monitors attached and working well. This PC is more quiet than my laptop. You almost can't hear it. I was planning to change power settings in the BIOS to run in Quiet mode, but it is so quiet, I don't think I will do that. I love how small this computer is. I plan to add a 3rd monitor using a USB4 C to DisplayPort cable.

Great little pc. Small, easy to transport. Power of a desktop, convenience of a laptop. Configuration 96GB ram 4TB SSD

- it can game, it runs roblox, fortnite, minecraft, and geomertry dash and more at 60+ fps - good at editing in capcut - simple, lets you run your basic tasks - good multitasking - comes with windows 11 pre installed


- Size, it is incredibly small - No issues with Intel i5-12400 - BIOS is easy to maneuver
