32GB/512GB is $609 at Amazon if you don't want to deal direct with minisforum https://a.co/d/5LMKHui

It's not Vega, it's RDNA3. And even if the dedicated amount is limited to 1gb, windows still shares up 50 percent of your total system ram to the GPU if its dedicated VRAM runs out. You can see this by going to task manager, performance, and selecting the iGPU and looking at the available VRAM. Since it's all system ram anyways, there is no performance difference between dedicated and shared for an iGPU

the whole point of the oculink is for the option to have a regular GPU hooked up external with little sacrifice in overall performance. that option with a proper eGPU enclosure makes this the perfect computing solution with minimal footprint and power usage

Just ran benchmark in a quiet room with it sitting about 1 1/2 feet away from me on my desk and it ramped up on the fan but still was very low decibels as fans go. You could hear it but nothing obnoxious. At idle it is whisper quiet. Now I do have it in the upright stand so I don't know if that makes a difference. Compared to my gaming laptop this would be considered silent.

@oneijack. Thanks so much for the info! You and Tyrant917 are awesome!

That is an issue for Chinese PCs. My gpd win max 2 had a couple of Malwarebytes hits straight from the box. It was the first thing I ran when I turned on the computer. The best thing to do is to reinstall windows from a trusted source like Microsoft.

Of course this barebones kit doesn't have a SSD or a copy of Windows so no spyware or malware to worry about.

The issue with malware is 100% real. I'm working on a mini pc by a Chinese company called Ace Magician or Ace Magic. Soon as we got Windows 11 home setup, defender went nuts flagging malware in the Windows folder itself. We didn't just reinstall Windows. I booted with a USB partition manager and completely wiped out all partitions that had bitlocker on them for some reason and did a bios reset after speaking with customer service via chat. After Windows was reinstalled cleanly, everything seems OK. However, I just don't trust Ace Magician and may send it back and get a mini pc from a reliable company like Asus, Lenovo or MSI. I read this type of malware is designed to steal login passwords and any text data. Very scary.

I never use factory installed OS and always boot off USB to wipe out factory installed OS (delete all partitions and create a new one) but I wouldn't trust their device. What if they bury spyware deep in the UEFI firmware?
