Community Reviews

The FIREBAT AM02 is a barebones Ryzen 7 H255 mini PC that looks strongest as a compact general rig, HTPC, or retro gaming box once RAM and storage are added. The 780M graphics are described as solid for emulation and light gaming, and the chip is treated as broadly similar to other 8745H class parts, with no NPU on the H255. The catch is the extra cost of DDR5 SODIMM memory and NVMe storage, which can push the real total much higher. Cooling also looks modest, with reports of warm sustained loads and a likely 45W limit, so it suits lighter use better than long heavy GPU work.

  • The 780M integrated GPU can support retro gaming and emulation workloads well.

  • The mini PC can be a practical HTPC when RAM and NVMe storage are sourced second-hand.

    Duby

  • The system can run quietly and boot quickly after OS and driver setup is completed.

    Duby

  • The barebones format can reduce bloatware risk because reinstalling the OS is part of the setup.

    Duby

  • The AM02 thermal solution may struggle to sustain GPU-heavy workloads beyond roughly a 45W level.

    OrangeJulius

  • The cooling setup can reach around 86C during a 10-minute Cinebench multi-thread run without mods.

    balloonshark

  • The driver and OS installation process can be finicky, including deleting Bluetooth drivers before installing manufacturer drivers.

    Duby

  • Windows activation can warn about missing or mismatched licensing, and the install may default to Windows 11 Home before switching to Pro.

The H255 is basically a defective 260. It's unable to boost CPU & iGPU properly due to degradation. It's used in the Chinese budget market. It's definitely not worth buying when you have to spend another 400-600 to complete the system.

I have new RAM and spare storage sitting around. I would use this for light and retro gaming. What kind of boost clocks would this have? Is it still not worth purchasing?

I don't know about the degredated boost per previous poster, but it has a 780M igpu which is very good for retro gaming/emulation normally.

"The Ryzen 7 260 is the globally available standard with an AI-focused NPU, while the Ryzen 7 H 255 is an Asian-market variant lacking an NPU with slightly lower clock speeds and a less powerful integrated GPU."

- H255 has 780M GPU clocked at 2.6GHz vs 2.7 on the 260.
- Max CPU boost of 4.9 GHz vs 5.1 on the 260.
- No NPU (AI) on the H255.

Thanks. I've been looking for a mini-pc with the 780M. I wonder if it's dual channel ram.

In41, I have 32GB of DDR5 from a defunct Dell Micro that dropped on me from work, so this will be a nice little Steam gaming box.

Maybe look for a pop-up window with the payment info. I also got stuck at the final step but the order went through. Check your orders page to see if it worked https://www.aliexpress.com/p/order/index.html


While it was stuck I also hit refresh without having an issue.

Just curious, are these safe to use? The big US brands test and certify their products.

Has any of these ever been caught on fire itself? Spontaneous combustion?

I plan on using this for proxmox and hate to have to power on/off constantly.
