Beelink U59 Pro vs Mini S! Synthetic Benchmarks, Teardown, and I Break Something!
A combined review of the Beelink U59 Pro and Mini S. Similar performance with different features. I didn't think of combining until after I had lots of video, so I scrapped it all and started over. I hope you like it! Power adapper away! The end outtake this time is frustration, as a friend told me they like the human element at the end to show it isn't all scripted. Let me know what you think of the included game emulated game.
This was a hard project to put together, but I think I'm learning some more items and changing organization while multiple projects are going on. Thank you for your patience, especially if you got a notification on this video and it went down, I had to blur out something I didn't mean to include and the video and I did that in the YT editor.

Thanks to Zach Horton for pointing out the typo in the product specs around 1:58. The processors are built on the 10 nanometer process, not meternano or what ever the 10 mn typo could stand for.

    Upgrading the U59 to 16Gb will improve your benchmark scores by quite a bit (it did for me). The only problem was finding memory that worked with the machine - the $20 Timetec SINGLE RANK DDR4 2666 module was the one that finally worked - although it takes the machine a minute or so on the first boot to figure out what memory it is - after that everything boots normally.

    What are you using for monitoring power usage? Is it a kill-a-watt or some similar device reading power at the wall? And regarding thermals, it might be good to perform before and after tests. My own experience tells me that not reapplying thermal paste (especially when it's dried/set like you noticed) will lead to poor thermal conductivity if you don't replace it. I like what I see on your channel. Subbed and looking forward to more content and seeing how you grow.

    Thanks! This is an exciting time to see it growing, and it really wasn't expected but it makes me smile! For the thermals, I agree, and I messed up on that one. However, I did go back in today and cleaned it up (on the u59 Pro), applied new thermal compound, and it still reached the same temps. Good thing is it wasn't thermal throttling (not that it was before, but a point for my next video). For power draw, yes, a P3 Kill A Watt.

    I've just bought a Beelink Mini S. The object of the exercise was to upgrade to Windows 11, and to cut power consumption. The Mini PC is great, and maximum power consumption is just 30 watts! I live in the UK, and I paid £159 ($191). Great value, and highly recommended for day-to-day general computing! EDIT: The CPU cooling system is mounted at the top of the case, and to service it (cleaning dust build-up, for example), you have to remove the motherboard. I saw a review that said this was difficult. One wonders WHY the top and bottom panels weren't both removable for ease of servicing?

    Do you have any issues with your Mini S? I started to have them with mine, after a few weeks of use - random freezes when the system got unresponsive for 5-10 seconds (both Windows 11 which came out of the box and Linux Ubuntu 22.04 I installed to the internal M2 SATA SSD). What is interesting is that it happens sporadically without any link to the load being processed by computer or CPU temperature. I think it's SSD to blame, but didn't have a chance to rule it out - need to boot from USB flash and give it a good long run.

    Despite having dual gigabit ethernet (you know what it meant when manufacturer put dual ethernet), U59 Pro lacks NVMe support, the only PCIe capable port exposed is only the PCIe WiFi card, despite the processor having 8 PCIe lanes, quick napkin math show only 3 lane is used, one for wireless card, two for the realtek ethernet adapter. Maybe you can double check that the M.2 also support NVMe despite the writing only said "M.2 SATA"? I don't care I only have a slower SATA based SSD, but if I can tapped those M.2 Slot to PCIe x4 riser board, I can use it for many thing, including hooking up LSI SAS2008 (which use PCIe x4 3.0) Based card for high density-low power NAS.

    @@ntgm20 no problem. I've seen speeds in the 850mbps range as well. I use the plex server on my network exclusively and no out of home streaming and so far it's been doing the trick. I'm pretty new in the mini pc world and have never used Linux before except on my steam deck. Is it better to run plex from a Linux machine?

    850 or so is what I get in Windows on those machines too, which again should be about 930 for my tests. For Plex, I don't have enough experience. Linux would normally have fewer resources in use to start with, so have more headroom, but there are tricks to get Windows processes down too.

    Not off hand on the temps. The fan is barely audible for me when it is low like that, but would ramp up when putting the CPU to task at 100% or near for more than a minute. At that point I felt the fan was still quieter than my laptop.

    Of the minis I've tested the Beelink ones and Trigkey (both made by AZW) are the only with RAM modules you can swap out. If you are looking for a mini PC I'd go with one that has a processor with 4 cores and generation of the N5000 or newer if going for under $200. If you have a larger budget there are more processor options that I'm not even fully knowledgeable of, but mostly more powerful.
