New Mini PC Problems

I have Beelink SEI 8 (this model has no fan)
If you have 'installed' a 2nd SSD in the case, then REMOVE IT
I also removed the cover plate for that SSD spot.
That may help some of you with overheat problem.
I was cursing my wireless keyboards for playing up, until I noticed it was only when the PC got too hot.
I am hoping this helps my problem (only removed it a few hours ago)

Well didn't install anything else inside it

In the End ended up returning it to Amazon, though thinking back now if my other family members left me alone, i probably could've fixed it and had another Windows 11 Pro System in the household and maybe fully replaced the 2012 Full Desktop for the light duty family does on that system.

Someday will buy another one and hope for a better experience with it
((I was very sad when family member kept bugging me to return it), i wanted that little system to keep working good---sure that was late June, early July when temps Ambient temps was very hot

and A/C wasn't on every minute sadly

Probably should've told them i can't return it, and kept it for myself, and gotten it working great lol, but at the time i paniced and stressed out and ended up listening to family and went thru with the return, which only option was a refund to Amazon account---of which i should've bought another right then

Of course that was my first AMD Ryzen based system, and someday hope to have another either a Full Ryzen Desktop with AMD video card of some model, Ryzen based Gaming Laptop, or Ryzen based Mini PC 2nd try

What are y'all calling a "Mini PC"?



Limitations! Limitations! I hate Limitations, when I do have an alternative.

This is what I call a mini-PC. It has a Raspberry Pi 4 and a 256 GB M.2 SSD inside. It sits in the cabinet next to the TV in my travel trailer with a 4 TB 2.5" USB hard drive attached. Why? Because it works perfectly as a streaming media server, and I just don't need anything more in that location.

Yup
Mine is slightly smaller

My flat is 82 degrees
It has been running for 4.5 hours, and it's temperature is the same as my forehead
I used a forehead temp measurer to my forehead, and to the center of the top of the PC
