Unfortunately, GPU-Z doesn’t ‘know’ about the iGPU so provides little useful information: The Beelink EQ12 came installed with a licensed copy of Windows 11 Pro version 21H2 build 22000.918 which I upgraded to the latest 22H2 build 22621.1555 for testing purposes:Ī quick look at the hardware information shows it is aligned with the specification: In the box, you get a 36 W (12V/3A) power adapter and cord, both a short and a longer HDMI cable, a VESA mounting bracket together with a small packet of miscellaneous screws, a replaceable but different colored fabric top and a multilingual user manual. As mentioned, there is just a single SODIMM memory slot and the review model was ‘maxed-out’ by including a stick of Crucial 16 GB DDR5 4800 MHz memory:Īlso included in the bottom of the device is a plastic bay that supports adding a 2.5-inch SATA drive for increased storage and the bay also incorporates a small fan to cool both the drive and the motherboard/memory above it. Internally included is an M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 SSD drive (the review model included a unmarked 512 GB drive which uses a Maxio MAP1202 controller complete with Windows 11 Pro installed) and this in turn covers an M.2 2230 WiFi 6 (or 802.11ax) Intel AX101 card which also provides Bluetooth 5.2. The rear panel includes a Type-C USB port, a Type-A 3.2 Gen 2 port, two 2.5 gigabit Ethernet ports, two HDMI 2.0 ports, and a power jack. The front panel has an illuminated power button, a 3.5mm headphone jack, two Type-A USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and a reset pin-hole ‘CLR CMOS’. As an actively cooled mini PC, it uses an Alder Lake-N Processor N100 which is a four-core 4-thread (no HyperThreading) 3.40 GHz mobile processor with Intel’s UHD Graphics which has a maximum frequency of 750 MHz. ![]() The Beelink EQ12 physically consists of a 124 x 113 x 39 mm (4.88 x 4.44 x 1.53 inches) square plastic case and is available with a choice of four colored breathable/waterproof fabric-covered tops: Senior Grey, Pearl White, Millennial Grey, and Navy Blue (the review model). Intel’s specification for the number of graphical execution units (EUs) also states 24 however software such as HWiNFO64 shows there are 32: It is worth noting that the Processor N100 processor only supports a single memory channel and that according to Intel’s specification for the processor, the maximum memory supported is only 16 GB. Whilst I’ll cover the basic Windows operation and performance, I’ll also explore how this new mini PC performs when used as an integrated router and NAS. Having recently announced the EQ12 mini PC featuring an Intel Processor N100 ‘Alder Lake-N’ CPU with up to 16GB RAM, Beelink have now sent one for review. Perhaps more importantly, they are also the cheapest mini PCs they offer. Running an overclocked PC is fine as long as it is stable and that the temperature of its components do not exceed their acceptable range.Beelink’s new EQ series of mini PCs form their base product range and feature low-powered Jasper Lake and Alder Lake-N processors with relatively basic port and memory/storage configurations. It uses Stress utility in the background to check the temperature of its components do not exceed their acceptable range by imposes certain types of compute stress on your system. Running s-tui as root gives access to the maximum Turbo Boost frequency available to your CPU when stressing all cores. If your hardware is not supported, you might not see all the information. S-tui uses psutil to probe some of your hardware information. S-tui is a self-contained application which can run out-of-the-box and doesn’t need config files to drive its core features. It was written in Python and requires root privilege to use this. s-tui allows to monitor CPU temperature, frequency, power and utilization in a graphical way from the terminal.Īlso, shows performance dips caused by thermal throttling, it requires minimal resources and doesn’t requires X-server. ![]() S-tui is a terminal UI for monitoring your computer. ![]() It’s a CLI utility and if you are looking for alternative tools.I would suggest you to go for s-tui.It’s a Stress Terminal UI which helps administrator to view CPU temperature with colors. ![]() Lm_sensors (Linux monitoring sensors) is a free and open-source application that provides tools and drivers for monitoring temperatures, voltage, and fans. By default every Linux administrator would go with lm_sensors to monitor CPU temperature.
