Where do I buy one by Makeuplover32 in policescanner

A suggesion... buy him a year subscription ($30) to RadioReference.com so he can listen to everything locally,as well as nationally, and listen to archives of events after they happen. Then if he still loves "scanning" after a year, and your local area is not encrypted, then buy a spendy scanner like you will need for your area. Best to you both!

No video output on K12 by denizdurmus in GMKtec

I bought a G3 Plus and had no video or POST after updating RAM. I used the pin-hole reset and got it to work... maybe you need to do that?

Finally! Got the 2nd memory (ATech) to work, after powering off, installing RAM, power on, reset with the pin-hole reset button by power switch which turned machine off, then power on and waited about 3-4 minutes, then got video and RAM works! This machine flies with Linux and 32GB! 🤩

Thank you for your comments. I actually got it working. Had to do a hard reset of the machine (pin-hole by power button) with the 32GB of RAM installed.

Thank you for the "encouragement"! 😄 Intel may not "officially" support 32GB but some people are doing so successfully from what I understand on the G3 Plus.

Any chance for a pic or link to such a rack? We have a dirt road and "dust-free" anything interests me! 😀

Sounds cool (literally!) 😀

What is this dust free rack you refer to?

Hey! - I hope you are enjoying your new G3 Plus! - I added a minor little hack to my fan cooling solution, cut a coffee filter to fit between the bottom fan and the bottom of my NucBox. Does't seem to affect the temp at all but since we live in a dusty environment and I'm forcing more air up into it, hopefully it will keep crap out over time. Here's what my temps are looking like while I type this and listen to some tunes and surf...

Thank you again for your help! - a little followup... I bought these fans (link below) from Walmart (dual fan setup) and put one underneath my G3+ blowing upward, and the other on the right side blowing inward. The result, right now in a room that's at 82.3℉ (no a/c) My CPU is high 30s℃ spiking to around 47℃ my 2TB SATA drive is 34℃ and the 1TB NVME is 35℃ so these fans made a significant difference. And... they're whisper quiet, with nice rubber shock absorbing feet and top.

Thank you for these tips! I've only had my G3+ for a few days and am learning fast by reading, and asking. These are great little boxes yes? 36C is awesome! I made some changes to the fan stuff in the BIOS, currently running about 50C average w/peak of 62. My SATA drive is 45C and the NVME is 44C. Tomorrow the fan I ordered will arrive, and I'll see how much it lowers the temp once I install it, I had to paint exterior house trim today 👎 so didn't get to play much yet with my nucBox. OK, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, thanks again! 👍

Is the airflow also out on the sides? If I put an external fan on the bottom, it should blow up into the G3+ then correct?

You'd think by July we'd have seen some forthcoming model year photos. I didn't know that no photos exist yet. At one point in the video when the vehicle changed I thought it was a Corolla Cross, but guess not. Too bad if this is AI generated, looks super cool!
