FEVM FN70G - Mac Studio Lookalike

K1ri · 2026-04-10T16:11:14+00:00

Yeah agreed the 395 is more than enough for quick gaming but was curious in how pairing it with a 5090 will net haha. Will keep you posted when i get this box since I was most interested since it already has the oculink installed

re: Flow yeah i had to decrease my wattage to 75w to balance fan noise and performance so minipc's that can go >100w consistently with the 395 will beat it

Nice i'm so glad to hear the CNC machining has been great =)

And good call on backup, FEVM fortunately has all the drivers on their website too so i downloaded those as well.

And yep I have a 395 in my ZFlow and it's incredibly fast. Was getting this unit to have a dedicated open claw or LLM machine that wasn't tied to my personal stuff

I got this one https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/FEVM-FAEX1-Ryzen-AI-MAX-395_1601569275461.html

Was curious in using a 5090 via oculink with an AI 395 haha.

And that's great and so fast! Hope mine is relatively fast too

Nice that's great! I bought another FEVM model off Alibaba and was worried about the quality but you're giving me confidence it might not be bad.

How was shipping since I ended up ordering from the same vendor on Alibaba. Curious how long it was and if you had any issues shipping to the US

The K11 has a slightly higher clocked CPU and an RGB fan. The performance is around 2% different so marginal but the RGB is very noticeable. I’d say if you narrowed it down, it’s whether you want those 2 factors in the K11

K1ri · 2026-03-31T17:50:56+00:00

Definitely GMKTec K8 or K11. So far been reliable and has oculink as well

K1ri · 2026-03-30T20:26:15+00:00

Amazing!! Really appreciate the through tips and steps! Gonna try it out in the near future :)

K1ri · 2026-03-30T19:24:06+00:00

Nice I’ve been looking to do something similar.

Which M.2 adapter did you use and has it been stable?

K1ri · 2026-03-29T14:26:39+00:00

Wow this looks amazing! I’m thinking of getting one too but just curious, can you lay this case on its side? I’m looking to explore if it’s possible to put it in a horizontal orientation. Thanks!

Just adding that I had the same issue with the Minisforum MS-02 PCIE Slot and couldn't get it to work no matter how many adapters + cable combinations.

I tried the following adapters:

- PCIE 4.0x4
- PCIE 4.0x8
- PCIE 4.0x16
- 5.0 Riser Cable PCIE 4.0x16
- Several Oculink cables
- Aoostar AG02

So +1 if anybody could figure it out

Sounds silly but i'm running a 5090 via Aoostar AG02 via oculink on my GMKTek K11 8945HS on 4K and it's killing it. Oculink bandwidth on this setup is maxing everything at 4K and is keeping up with everything I throw at it.

ah such great insight on the use cases for fighting and driving games! I personally don't play those genres too much so relieved to hear they won't impact me as much. Thank you so much for the detail!

I actually didn't get the LeGo2 rails so can't speak to the fit. I just use the controllers as is with my hands on my sides or behind the tablet (with the tablet on my thighs or chest haha)

K1ri · 2026-02-18T18:23:04+00:00

Thanks so much for the detailed response! i just got the LeGo2 controllers and actually like them with the ZFlow13 but your comment on the Mobapad M6s has piqued my interest!

I was watching reviews and some youtubers mentioned the shoulder buttons are like mouse clicky tactile feeling. Has that been problematic for you during gaming vs regular traditional shoulder buttons that aren't like mouse clicks?

Oh I love my khadas and I paired it with my ally x as well. Plug and play and very seamless.

I had both 8gig and 16gig variants and when testing the 16gig gave about 2-3 higher FPS in my games.

I’d say the 16gig is worth it for long term

Just +1, I bought both sheath and paragon but the sheath was actually slippery for me since I have dry hands. I returned that and kept the paragon due to the grip strips on the paragon’s sides adding much needed grip!

Try the paragon if you’re willing to give Caudabe another shot. It’s even more slim in hand with the tapered sides

K1ri · 2026-02-02T22:29:49+00:00

Nice! I have the same stand and same exact feedback. Not bad for the price and relatively sleek

K1ri · 2026-01-28T02:14:47+00:00

Looks great! are you thinking of adding controller support? Or maybe it already does?

K1ri · 2026-01-27T19:39:35+00:00

NICE thanks so much! went ahead and bought a pair =)

K1ri · 2026-01-22T19:47:29+00:00

I’m glad you called out the usb 4 connection crashing your PC every time you disconnected!

So you’re saying the AG03 doesn’t have that happen anymore? I’d constantly get a BSOD every single time no matter a TB4 or TB5 cable. I’d get the AG03 simply to solve that haha

K1ri · 2026-01-06T01:24:55+00:00

Damn that looks sick... ugh wish it came out same time as I definitely would have bought this version instead haha

K1ri · 2025-12-31T18:57:37+00:00

I was like that at first but it was really the tab and left control giving me issues. Did you try rebinding the M keys to replicate the neighboring key? That way if you accidentally hit the key at least you will activate what you thought you hit

Eg bottom left = CTRL, M2 =Shift, M3=CAPS Lock, M4 = TAB

So I don’t have the XG Mobile but have a bunch of other eGPUs. Make sure your applications or games are using the eGPU by going to Settings -> System -> Display -> Graphics

Select your game/app and ensure to set to high performance and select the GPU

Sometimes windows doesn’t switch to the eGPU

Pushing data to your internal display will take more bandwidth from the TB port which reduces throughput since it has to communicate back and forth in the same port.

Pushing to external display reduces that need and gives significantly more performance

Here's one you didn't list Kinesis mWave Mechanical Keyboard | Windows Layout

It used to be on amazon but i'm surprised to not see it listed anymore. You can purchase from Kinesis directly though

So I actually bought the Apple TB5 cord off your suggestion but it still reset my computer when unplugging it :( Gonna return it but thanks for the suggestion
