BEELINK SER3 STILL GOOD LETS TEAR IT DOWN AND SEE WHAT CAN BE UPGRADED -- LGH

I'm going to give it a shot. Here's the reorganized article:

Okay so I got this thing and I'm not really sure what it is but I'm thinking maybe someone made it in like 5 minutes or something, because I just got it out of the box and everything else was still wrapped up inside. It comes with everything needed to put it together.

I'm just gonna start by taking a screwdriver and unscrewing these screws right here so this whole thing just comes apart easy enough. So that's the first step now we have to figure out what all this stuff is for. We got some kind of cable that looks like a ribbon cable and I was thinking maybe it was some kind of special power supply but nope, it's actually SATA and power through that ribbon cable and you can mount a solid state inside here for example if I wanted to make this a pure bare drive machine I can slide a 2TB Samsung or whatever Drive in here bolt it in pop it back and boom it just boots off that one drive which is absolutely amazing.

We are greeted also right away, I better take that screw off with our NBM E which is supposed to be a 256 and our RAM which is actually crucial. It's crucial to have RAM nope FBI open up 8 gigs of DDR4 at 2666 I'm guessing that is some sort of weird grounding which doesn't make sense. CU there's no oh yeah I guess it's metal all right so now the only thing left to do is we have to figure out what it's like. So we have our course Coss battery here um this is plugged into oh yeah that's this that's your and I like how it's leveled left uh or or whatever it might be.

So we have at least four screws to take out here so one is here, here, here and one right here all four screws I can feel the board already moving. The main goal here of course is to find out how upgradable this is underneath and that is important to me. So this looks like it needs to or is that the power button that's a power button okay it's got a thermop pad here that touches this and it's very sticky so it definitely uh has to be using this as a cooler.

Let's take that off there all right how hard will this be to take out oh there we go here we don't think we can upgrade the CPU I'm not 100% yet but not looking 100% cool and this is going somewhere underneath so it looks like we need to take out the SSD. We'll find out now if it's an NVMe or an SSD I find a lot of these cheaper or not cheaper but uh aftermarket systems look like it's sticky down here too um tend to have wow they tend to have a 256 NVMe so at least it's an NVMe but they tend to use up the old um what I would like to call M2 SATA stock cuz it's cheaper well it was cheaper you'll see.

I'm going to make it easier on me than to try and put the wires back on there we go so that is the interior here. So as you can see we have let me see if I can pass light through it yep so definitely um there's a screen inside here with a a mesh a metal mesh on the outside and I think there's some sort of a filter in there um but anyway that is for cooling.

There's rubber standoffs here of course to make the board not directly touch uh the metal okay. So now we have this off um now we're going to flip over and we're going to take a look at this cooling system slash processor worst part about this is never even tested to see if the system worked it happens you get Duds all the time I'm really hoping it's not soldered but I'm having a bad feeling here I mean it may not be bad but it's not going to make me overly happy and it is soldered so as you can see guys we have a soldered uh CP uh GPU CPU GPU all in one is right here and it is soldered so whatever this is ryzen 7 whatever it is what it is not much we can do about it.

So we can upgrade RAM and we can upgrade hard drive um multiple times cuz we can do NVMe and we can do SATA so that's kind of cool and so RAM and hard drive is pretty much all we can upgrade on this. That's kind of disappointing but let's see if it is disappointing maybe this system is so good then we don't have to worry about upgrading to C

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys welcome back to another episode it is great that all of you are here to watch me unbox this belink Seer series Mini PC so this is the se3 and here are the specs we have a ryzen processor 8 gig of RAM 256 storage Wi-Fi 5 so 80211 AC which is pretty good uh gigabit Lan and of course your regular input which is 19 at 3 amps 57 WT now I've had this one for a little while just haven't gotten around to it because I'm thinking about turning it into a daily driver but let's figure out what this is like how upgradable it is because I would like to try different CPUs I would like to try more RAM and so on so let's get this opened and see what we got check for upgrade ability and I'll let you know what I think now this is going to be part one of a series because I'm going to do some uh gaming on it and everything in another video and I don't just mean badera I mean like fortnite and so on just to see how capable this is as is and then as upgraded another thing I'd like to point out while we're doing this is that this was not a sponsored video in any way I actually bought this product so it wasn't even handed to me I had to spend my hard-earned cash that's pretty cool looking so far so right off the bat you got your AMD printed right into the finish here which is actually really nice ryzen 7 I forget what this is and uh radon Graphics of course um anyway before we go over this let's take a look at everything else we have the manual here and we got the lovely sponge looks like this is for lifting this okay what do we got here so we get HDMI I think very short HDMI yeah HDMI I guess they're thinking if you're mounting it right behind the television which most people do with these there's the mounting brackets a longer HDMI in case you're not putting it there oh that's power brick and it came with some extra screws in a sealed package nothing else in there okay and this is not your small power supply this is actually it's kind of like a a laptop power supply and a AC adapter Allin one instead of being a bit longer or double wired so that's kind of cool cuz I mean you plug it in it saves your plug above so it's got some heft to it so it's not just this lightweight cheap piece of junk now I thought this was going to be thicker to be honest as we can see here it's not uh we have venting right here we have venting here and we have venting here as long I believe yes we do I can kind of see I think a fan in there so there's venting here here and here so we are greeted with uh two USB of 3.0 a type-c connector headphone jack in the front Okay and power and I think that might be a reset button of course on the bottom nice rubber feet here I can't wait to open this thing okay so on the back we are greeted with two HDMI outs two USB 3.0 so there is no 2 on this which is kind of cool your gigabit landan Wireless I'm guessing is built in as usual and your power adapter which kind of looks off to decide but anyway no issues so far we don't know anything about this until we of course open it so at this point now we are going to open we're going to see what this is what makes a tick and how um upgradeable it is and I'm guessing the screws are also for that bracket and it would screw in here to mount it behind a TV okay we need to be very careful there is a uh 2 and 1/2 in uh slot here for a hard drive or solid state or whatever you wish um we're going to unplug that because it's scaring me it's just held on here by a ribbon cable and prefer to not worry about things breaking okay so there we go so basically a ribbon cable here is your SATA uh connection I guess and power so it's both SATA and power through that ribbon cable and you can mount a solid state inside here for example if I wanted to make this a pure badera machine I can slide a 2 tbte Samsung or whatever Drive in here bolt it in pop it back back boom it just boots off that one drive which is absolutely amazing um

cheaper but uh aftermarket systems looks like it's sticky down here too um tend to have wow they tend to have a 256 nvme so at least it's an mvme but they tend to have a um a real problem with putting in a newer um solid States they tend to use up the old um what I would like to call M2 SATA stock cuz it's cheaper well it was cheaper you'll see I'm taking up the Wi-Fi cuz I'm going to make it
