5.0 out of 5 stars The BMKtec NucBox K8 plus is tiny but solid, it is quite, cool running, and is a true speed demon!
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2024
The media could not be loaded.
I bought a GMtec NucBox k-8 in July 2024 to replace my DELL Inspiron 17-7000 2n1 Intel i7-8565U / 16GBRAM Win 11, and I chose the k8 32gb+2TB configuration because my Dell was getting sluggish and unreliable. I found an ad for the NucBox Mini PC and decided to take a chance with GMKtec; this was the best tech decision I ever made.

I am so pleased with GMKtec that I bought 'another' NEW k8 plus in Nov. 2024 (for my wife).

When ordering, I discovered that GMKtech has improved the k8 plus, so I was excited. I'm very glad I bought another Nucbox k8 plus (32gb with 2tb ssd) because this improved k8 model is even better! It runs cooler, and is quieter than the prior generation and now includes Oculink! And they added another power option (the redesign has 4 power options and even the top watts is quite with the improved fans & cooling.

This new K8 plus is so smooth, quite & cool that I can ramp up the processor (via BIOS) for extreme speed; giving me even more speed control. I am 100% satisfied with GMKtec; they make great products.
I was, and I remain happy with my older k8 build, but I'm 'especially happy' with the new improved Nucbox k8.

My primary usage is business research and communications, so I keep excessive #'s of open tabs in BRAVE, usually 30 to 40 tabs, along with multiple programs running. With the improved k8 I can use High Performance in BIOS.
The lower performance k8 settings also run VERY FAST, with no lag, with all my apps & tabs, running videos, and live stream TV without any problem, and I can set it on high, extreme performance with no issues.

I love the generous connectivity options of the k8.

Bottom line is: this is an excellent computer, very competitively priced, and the bonus of a micro-box, so my desktop is a cleaner, and I can even use the included VERSA mount for placing the k8 onto the back of my monitor!

If someone wants to run multiple monitors, the new K8 box is your ticket. Personally, I don't need multiple monitors, I use a 34 inch HD curved Dell desktop monitor & I'm very happy.

FYI, I use Logitech Wireless Ergo m575 Rollerball with Logitech MX wireless keyboard, both running from a single USB, fortunately the K8 box provides generous connectivity.

I am no longer dependent on Dell where customer service & support has diminished dramatically. The Dell new product line is unimpressive, especially after using the GMKtec K8. GMKtec has replaced Dell as my new, reliable PC vendor!

I wish GMKtec would offer a K-8 option preloaded with 96GB Ram (the Max), this is the only improvement can suggest because everything else is perfect! And, yes, I know, no one 'really' needs 96GM RAM, but I 'want' 96, and would gladly pay more to get it shipped with 96 already installed. But know this 32gm is more than most people will ever need, I'm just a Tech nut and tend to go overboard. Best of all, the pricing by GMKtec is VERY competitive (you get much more for your money here).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent small capable device
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2024
Purchased as a Linux media PC and NAS.
Running Debian. I have not been able to get WiFi 6E to work with 6ghz signal. On 5ghz, wifi works pretty well with good speed. However the WiFi card's temperature can quickly skyrocket to absurdly high destructive temperatures. If you max out the WiFi link such as during a local speed test, I've seen the temperature quickly climb above 105 C before I chickened out and stopped the speed test.
Otherwise the system is most impressive in that it can run cool especially in its low power mode set via EUFI.
There's a secondary fan on top. It's quite noisy. Runs all the time and does very little to cool the device. Monitoring temperatures, the fan does not significantly help cool the WiFi adapter. SSD doesn't seem to heat up much even without the fan. This MiniPC had been sold earlier without the top fan. Not sure why they felt the need to add one. I had earlier tried the GMKTec G3 minipc. Its SSD did get extremely hot and it doesn't have a fan, no heatsink, and the SSD is in a sealed top area without ventilation. Maybe they're overcompensating in this minipc or maybe it depends on the specific brand SSD included.
As a media PC, the GPU is plenty fast to play 4k60 video stream even on low power mode. Meets my use case.

It's also ideal for my use case as a NAS to have the two 2.5gbs ethernet ports. Pretty easy to set up bridging in Debian between the two ports. Can get amazing speeds to/from the NAS over 2.5gb ethernet.

Overall, good system, good value when promotion or coupon is in place.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ryzen 7 NUC box
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2024
The small form PC saves space and is powerful, fast,and mostly quiet. There are times the fan needs to rev up fast and is noisy like the laptops. Heat is not much a problem because it runs with19V and 6.3A (120W) power supply. It has much of the needed connections for network, monitors, and USB.
My box went dead after 4 months of usage. Support was very responsive. I received the new barebone with power supply in 10 days. I wish the company can cut down the time. I plugged the SSD and RAM back in, and the unit works now.
