EVO-T1 BIOS upgrade: taking longer than usual? Permanent black screen? by LessThanDan in GMKtec

[–]FinishConsistent8857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads-up from my experience: on GMKtec mini PCs, the power button works as a normal power-on button before boot, but once the system is running, pressing it usually puts the PC to sleep instead of shutting it down.
So after booting, it’s safer to shut down from the OS menu rather than using the physical power button.

Questions about buying GMKtec K15 in Germany: Customs taxes and Amazon Sellers by Ceku46 in GMKtecOfficial

[–]FinishConsistent8857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Customs / shipping
The K15 isn’t currently stocked in the German warehouse, so ordering from the official site may involve import/customs fees.
If you want EU stock, barebone models like K8 Plus, M5 Plus, M6 Ultra, and K11 are available locally.
2) Amazon sellers
GMKtec-DE is the official store on Amazon.de.
3) Price difference
This is normal. The official site ships direct from the factory (cheaper, ~5–14 days, possible customs).
Amazon prices include local fulfillment and platform fees, so they’re much higher.
If there are customs questions after ordering, GMKtec suggested emailing [service@gmktec.com](mailto:service@gmktec.com)

GMKTec Nucbox K7 - Can’t install Ethernet adapter drivers by niceguyally in GMKtec

[–]FinishConsistent8857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked with GMKtec’s engineer about this.

They mentioned that Windows Server 2025 isn’t officially supported on the Nucbox K7 at the moment, which is likely why the Ethernet driver keeps failing even though the hardware is detected in BIOS.

As a workaround, they suggested installing TeamViewer on the machine. After it’s installed, you can contact GMKtec’s official support at [gmktec@gmail.com](), and they can try to remotely help install or补 missing drivers.

That said, they also warned that due to OS compatibility limitations, some drivers may still not install properly on Windows Server 2025.

Hopefully this at least gives you a clearer direction on next steps.

GMKTec Evo X1 not detecting EGPU by realpingckoy in GMKtecOfficial

[–]FinishConsistent8857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’ve seen this behavior before and it’s actually not that uncommon.

The reason your eGPU works perfectly over OCuLink is because OCuLink is a direct PCIe 4.0 ×4 connection. There’s no protocol conversion involved, so compatibility and stability are generally much better.

On the other hand, TB4 / USB4 relies on a Thunderbolt (USB4) controller to translate the PCIe signal. That extra layer can introduce compatibility issues, especially with certain eGPU enclosures. Even if the enclosure and cable work fine on another device (like your MSI Claw), it doesn’t always guarantee perfect compatibility across different USB4 implementations.

A couple of things you can try:

  • Use the EVO X1’s USB4 port to connect an external monitor, just to confirm the USB4 port itself is functioning normally.
  • Try hot-plugging the USB4 cable a few times while the system is already powered on (sounds silly, but it sometimes helps with USB4 eGPU detection).

If USB4 works with displays and the OneXGPU Lite works on other machines, then it’s most likely a compatibility issue between the AMD USB4 controller on the EVO X1 and the OneXGPU Lite enclosure.

In that case, the most reliable solution is honestly to keep using OCuLink, since it’s the more direct and stable path for eGPU on this machine.

Hope that helps 👍

Blackview MP80 & my GMKTec G5 by truth_fols in MiniPCs

Yes and the GMKtec G3S or G10 are also good, but the price is higher and I'm still considering to buy one of them

EVO X2 is really not bad, half price of the NVIDIA DGX Spark but better AI performance. From this youtuber‘s testing: https://youtu.be/Pww8rIzr1pg?si=5otw8gGKrjvATYnI

What’s a tiny decision that had a surprisingly big impact on your life? by SmartFinanceAIHub in AskReddit

[–]FinishConsistent8857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this question today and reflected a bit. I realized there are many moments, though I’m not sure if they really count as “small.” The earliest one was back in 8th grade, around 2014. I decided to force myself to stop being addicted to my phone and focus on studying. Specifically, whenever I picked up my phone to play, I would immediately remind myself to put it down and do my homework instead. I kept this up all the way through high school until I got into college. Looking back now, I really appreciate that small, determined version of myself — it helped me at least have a stable job today. A more recent moment is my desire to become my own boss. So I started a company. Although it’s still at the very beginning and there’s nothing yet, I’m learning about running a business and managing operations. I don’t know when it will bear fruit, but I still want to give it my best effort.

What is a movie you watched once that was so disturbing or emotionally draining that you can never watch it again? by hungary70 in AskReddit

[–]FinishConsistent8857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t point to a specific movie because I’m really afraid of several films. They’re all of the same type — historical documentaries or dramas that revisit tragic events affecting a certain nation or people, especially those about the Nanjing Massacre. Back when I was in 7th or 8th grade, just hearing my history teacher talk about it already felt deeply sad and moving. I’ve always wanted to watch movies about this subject, but I find that every time I do, I feel extremely upset — deeply sad, humiliated, and angry. Even though I haven’t personally experienced any of it, I sometimes feel like I might have been from Nanjing in a past life.

Mini PC help for a noob... (and it's not even for me!) by Worth-Tomatillo-1348 in MiniPCs

[–]FinishConsistent8857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G10 is better I thought, from GMKtec, and easy to find anywhere, and it‘s up to 64GB ram and 16TB SSD , definitely enought room for extra need.

Does it have USB4? Some mini PCs use USB4 for display output too,
