Some questions about the Beelkin SER8

morfeusz

Hi. This is my first post on this forum, so I would like to say hello to everyone.
I would like to buy a SER8 with cpu 8745hs in the basic version without SSD and without RAM and I have a few questions:

1) Is there any list of compatible DDR RAM? I would like to buy 32GB memory with 6000 MHz with low latency and voltages e.g. 1.1V so that the memory does not heat up.

2) Is it possible to slot in RAM with a heatsink?

3) Is the RAM in the SER8 a DIMM or SO-DIMM size?

4) Will any PCIe 4.0 SSD work, or are there any contraindications as to which SSD will not work?

5) Can I power a 30W display from usb 4? What maximum PDs can I get from usb 4?

6) Do I need to update the bios or do anything else before installing Windows 11 for the first time?

7) Does the full version of Windows 11 have a key, on the motherboard? If I format the drive will I lose Windows 11? Where can I see my Windows11 key?
I understand that the versions without SSD and RAM do not have Windows 11?

8) Has the noisy fan at idle been fixed? From the comments it seems that this problem was not present in the Windows 11 23H2 version, it appeared in the 24H2 version? This problem is related to what? The bios?

Thank You

Edit. Please correct. Not Beelkin, but Beelink

Hello there,

The RAM specification of SER8 8745 is SODIMM DDR5 5600Mhz, which can support up to 256G. It is recommended that you buy RAM without a radiator to install in the machine.
It is recommended that you buy crucial.
The SSD of SER8 8745 is M.2 PCIE4.0X4 (2280) and has two SSD card slots. A single card slot supports a maximum of 4TB SSD. As long as the SSD meets the specifications, it can be installed in the machine.

3, the USB4.0 interface of SER8 8745 can be used to power the machine, we suggest that customers can buy 120W PD power supply.

The machines sold on our official website are pre-installed with win11. If you buy a bare machine, you can install win11 normally after installing SSD.

5, Our official website installed win11 machine is with the key, the key is written in the system file, if the system after formatting the system to reinstall the key we can provide customers.

But we can’t provide the keys to the bare metal customers.

6, The latest V29 version of the BIOS of our machine has no problem with fan noise.

Have a nice day!

Thank you for your answer. You did not understand all my question.

1) So I understand that SER8 supports smaller size DDR RAM, i.e. SODIMM?

2) Does the SER8 motherboard support 6000MHz RAM. or up to 56000MHz max? From my infotmation it seems that Ryzen 7000, 8000, 9000 series can optimally handle DDR RAM 6000MHz.

3) I would like to use other DDR RAM. Each motherboard manufacturer has their own list of DDR RAM that they support.
Are there DDR RAMs that are supported by the motherboard in the SER8 and which are not? Only Crucial?

4) I do not want to power the SER8 via usb 4.0.
I would like to power a 27’ display with 30W via a usb 4.0 cable from the SER8. Is this possible?
Can the usb 4.0 on the SER 8 supply a maximum current of the standard 15W, or more?

5) What wattage is the included 100 or 120 watt power supply?

6) Where is the Windows 11 key stored? In which file exactly is the key stored?

Hi there
SER 8745 is SO-DIMM DDR5 5600MHz

USB4 supports maximum 100W output，but it `s recommended to use display with solo power supply .
otherwise , there might be insufficient power for the PC .

For power supply :
input：100-240V AC， 50/60Hz，output：19V/ 526a

Please send us a picture of SN on the bottom to confirm.
we will send you the key .
Thanks for your patience and your understanding.
