Hi all, I recently got my GTR9 Pro and what to share my experiences and hear if others have the same experience with their GTR9’s. 1) Fan noise - biggest issue so far. After a few minutes the fan noise will be quite loud (more noisy than my Desktop with 4080, Ryzen 9700x). The noise seems constant regardless if effort e.g. just turned on and in windows or actively playing a game e.g. Diablo 4. Max CPU temp measured in windows 11 using HWMonitor says 50 ′C and current value is 32′C. Anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions? 2) Crashes - I experienced a few random crashes - where windows unexpectedly shuts down. I have not been able to determine why. 3) LAN Ports not working - it seems there is some issue with the LAN ports. I was told a new driver (yet to be released) is needed to completely fix issue. 4) Performance looks good so far - I have only tested it using Diablo 4 - which works very nice on the GRT9. Look forward to the comments! Best

Got a response from Beelink support. They offered 2 options: send back the unit to get it repaired send me a new fan and let me replace it myself by following a video I choosed the second option as the steps look acceptable to me. I will update the thread once the new fan is received and replaced.

Hello GTR9 Pro users and early adopters, I would be glad to hear some noisy fan :-| In fact the GTR9 Pro, I received two days ago, crashed with a blue screen when doing the first Windows updates. Since that, I am not able to start any Windows environment any more, neither the preinstalled version, (backed up in advance), nor any new installation. Every time, the pc stops with blue screens and stop codes like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL What failed: ntoskrnl.exe CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION What failed: Ntfs.sys DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION(1×133) Having bios version 107 or 108 makes no difference, as well as Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2. I f you have managed to get a running system, maybe even with a fresh installation, could you please share which exact version you installed, and maybe if you did any changes compared to the ‘Optimized Defaults’ settings in the bios? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I recently got my GTR9 Pro and what to share my experiences and hear if others have the same experience with their GTR9’s.

1) Fan noise - biggest issue so far.
After a few minutes the fan noise will be quite loud (more noisy than my Desktop with 4080, Ryzen 9700x).
The noise seems constant regardless if effort e.g. just turned on and in windows or actively playing a game e.g. Diablo 4.
Max CPU temp measured in windows 11 using HWMonitor says ₅₀′C and current value is 32′C.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions?

2) Crashes - I experienced a few random crashes - where windows unexpectedly shuts down. I have not been able to determine why.

3) LAN Ports not working - it seems there is some issue with the LAN ports. I was told a new driver (yet to be released) is needed to completely fix issue.

Hi all, I received my unit 2 days ago and it seems to be
As you know, there are 2 main fans. While the first one does a smooth fan noise, the second one does a creepy noise like a ball is missing from the fan bearing.
The second fan is pretty noisy and it’s not a matter of speed. It sounds like a defect, and I assume BeeLink has to do something to address that.

Do you experiment same problems?

I got my Beelink on Thursday. Great thing. Everything works perfectly.
All connections and Windows work without issues.
Even the BIOS update to P108 and Windows 25H2 worked.
But!!! I’m also having serious problems with the fan. There’s a constant loud rattling noise. It’s very annoying.
I sent a video to support on Friday. They also said that’s not normal.
Initially they wanted to send me a new fan. But I think it’s better if I get a new PC.
Not that I don’t trust myself to install the fan. But what if something else breaks in the process???
We’ll see what the next boss in the support team says tomorrow.

Hi there,

Sorry for the trouble.
① About the fan noise, you can send the PC back for replacement
② About the Lan. Currently, the network card and the crash issue of the GTR9 395 persists, and its root cause lies in the Ethernet driver. As of now, there is no new driver available to resolve the problem of the Intel E610.
The current workarounds are as follows:
Perform a physical power-off and re-plug the power cable.
We suggest you to to use a Wi-Fi connection instead.
A complete resolution to this issue will only be possible once a new driver is released

I choosed the second option as the steps look acceptable to me. I will update the thread once the new fan is received and replaced.

I’ll also have a new fan sent to me. I watched the video. It should be possible to install it myself. I’ll also report back when it arrives and is installed.

Has anyone received a GTR9 pro without the fan issue?

Hello. I received my GTR 9 Pro recently and I also noticed the loud fan noise with some rattling sound to it, like it has some faulty ball bearings on it. I’ll get in touch with Beelink support about it.

ipkakr

Yeah, similar issues here as well.

Noise: very loud fan noise. However, it doesn’t sound defective; it’s just extremely loud.
Crashes: same issue, random crashes during normal operation.
Other issues: there seem to be issues with “ghost USB devices”
Customer support: sent me a “tutorial” on how to make a BIOS update. The tutorial consisted of a .docx(!) file that was totally messed up (at least when opened in Word online). After fixing the document myself and creating a usable PDF, I was able to update the BIOS. Unfortunately, it did not solve my problems. Finally, the customer service sent me a suggestion that was clearly just generated with ChatGPT. Well, thanks for nothing.

very disappointed overall after spending _2K for a computer

Hello GTR9 Pro users and early adopters,
I would be glad to hear some noisy fan :-|
In fact the GTR9 Pro, I received two days ago, crashed with a blue screen when doing the first Windows updates.
Since that, I am not able to start any Windows environment any more, neither the preinstalled version, (backed up in advance), nor any new installation.

Every time, the pc stops with blue screens and stop codes like

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
What failed: ntoskrnl.exe
CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
What failed: Ntfs.sys
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION(1×133)

Having bios version 107 or 108 makes no difference, as well as Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2.

I f you have managed to get a running system, maybe even with a fresh installation, could you please share which exact version you installed, and maybe if you did any changes compared to the ‘Optimized Defaults’ settings in the bios?
Thanks in advance!

victore So you don’t hear any fan noise (working) at all? In that case, that may indicate that the fans are not working at all (maybe not properly connected) which would lead to the APU to overheat and that would explain that unstable Windows behaviour. Other than that then I would say that likely sounds that the hardware may by faulty.

Noise: very loud fan noise. However, it doesn’t sound defective; it’s just extremely loud.

That’s a different issue: by default the BIOS/UEFI is set with very conservative fan(s) curve profiles which are loud. You may adjust them easily to make it more quiet and still keep the system temperatures in check. Simply go to:

BIOS/UEFI > Advanced > Hardware Monitor > Smart Fan Function > CPU Smart Fan1/2 Mode

To adjust both (Fan1 and Fan2) fan curve profiles. The following are the respective parameters meanings:

Fan off temperature limit: The value here is the Celsius temperature for the fan to stop working. The default value is 35, which means that the fan stops spinning when the CPU temperature is below 35 degrees Celsius.

Fan start temperature limit: The value here is the Celsius temperature for the fan to start working. The default value is 40, which means the fan starts spinning when the CPU temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius.

Fan full speed temperature limit: The value here is the Celsius temperature for the fan to hit full speed. The default value is 90, which means that the fan spins at full speed when the CPU temperature exceeds 90 degrees.

Fan start PWM: The Fan Start PWM refers to the speed of the CPU fan when it starts working. The default value is 70, but you can also set the value to any number between 30 and 127.

PWM SLOPE SETTING: The default value for PWM SLOPE SETTING is 2PWM, which means when the temperature of the CPU rises by 1 degree, the fan speed increases by 2PWM (adding to the start speed of the CPU fan). The value of [PWM SLOPE SETTING] can be set between 2 and 4 PWM, but it requires the “Fan start PWM” to work together.

I’m happily using these values for both Fan1 and Fan2 curve profiles:

Fan off temperature limit: 35
Fan start temperature limit: 40
Fan full speed temperature limit: 90
Fan start PWM: 40
PWM SLOPE SETTING: 2

For more details you can also use as a reference the Fan Speed Set-up Tutorial for Beelink SER5 5800U/SER5 keeping in mind the given differences (no tutorial available yet for the GTR 9 Pro).

Noise: very loud fan noise. However, it doesn’t sound defective; it’s just extremely loud.

@ipkakr Have you tried to adjust the fan curve profiles as I suggested above?

Hello everyone, I’m one of those people who’s having a fan noise. After reporting it to support, I was also given two options:

Send the unit back for repair.
Ship the new fan and replace it myself.
I chose the second option because, according to the video, it’s not a complicated job, but it does require a bit of patience and a bit of skill.
Now I can’t hear anything; I make more noise when I breathe than the PC does.
I’m very satisfied with Beelink’s friendly and quick email response support. Hopefully, the network card issue will be resolved soon.
Best regards, everyone.

Mastropittore What Video? I also had the issue and opted for the replacement fans but wasn’t send any video and replaced it by myself. Now with new fan and and optimum fan settings in bios its dead silent !

Mastropittore

Tetramatrix extremely quiet you don’t even notice it’s on, default bios settings. this was sent to me by Beelink support https://url.bee-link.cn/Gass

Tetramatrix

Mastropittore Thanks, the cooling system of this beast is unmatched! Full-size vacuum chamber and double-height blower fans! My fan settings: https://buildin.ai/lizong/share/5bb71253-637f-49c1-a958-74a05e49d2f2

I tried to stress my cpu with ‘stress –cpu 5’ on arch linux and the GTR9 Pro was silent using the factory fan settings and BIOS P108. I’m not 100% sure this was the right command so if anyone knows otherwise then let me know and I will retest.

The LAN ports are not working but I am waiting for a linux driver and successfully using a USB to LAN in the meantime.

I live in Canada, so my unit came direct from China.

I am not a gamer and bought the unit for AI applications. There is more information coming out regularly on using the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with linux for AI. I have had the GTR9 Pro running a 235B model on an experimental basis with decent response times.

Overall, I am happy with the GTR9 Pro.
