support7 hi, see the post I created on Reddit below. The issue is related to the amdgpio2.sys driver and as soon as you disable it, the issue goes away and the ser8 8475 behaves as expected.
I’ve had my SER8 8745 for a month now, and I’m experiencing some issues with it.
The power consumption is very high—18W at idle—and the CPU boost clocks are also incorrect. The CPU regularly boosts up to 5.1 GHz, even though it’s supposed to max out at 4.9 GHz. Additionally, the idle temperatures are high, hovering around 50°C.
After doing some research, I found that others are experiencing the same issue, and it appears to stem from the amdgpio2.sys driver. I replaced amdgpio2.sys with the amdgpio3.sys driver, and the problem went away. Idle power consumption dropped to 6W, temperatures decreased to 36°C, the boost clock stayed at 4.9 GHz, and Geekbench performance improved by 10%.
It’s clear that there’s a problem with how amdgpio2.sys interacts with the system. Replacing it with amdgpio3.sys disables the power button, which suggests the issue may be related to how the driver manages that controller.
I hope Beelink addresses this soon—it’s not acceptable to have to disable hardware components just to get the PC to function as expected.
