Dolby Vision Hardware

    Well... that's the price with 64GB of RAM, come on...

    With 24GB of RAM (plenty enough for LE), it costs about half of what you posted.

    lowest config on their site



    I didn't bother trying to find a cheaper deal. my point stands , you think $700+ is any better for an LE box (the deal you posted)?



    the stuff I've tried to help people is around $300 and that's for the same chipset, he just won't bite and keeps thinking it's going to be super loud

    The thing is


    1. The intel chipsets do not do full hdmi 2.1 support

    2. The reason I keep holding of buying the k12 because I read this on some posts

    "The top fan is a tad noisy sadly its sort of got a mind of its own some days its ok and others clicky noise, I have had a few K12s and K15 myself and its got the same fan/heatsink and case set up.

    Bottom cpu fan is ok, with the original K12 bios you can set to 20-30% if you are doing non gaming and its silent enough from say 1 metre away. Id advise to stick with original bios, the newer ones changed the fan noise profile and you won't get that percentage scale back."


    So some say they are not ok and others say they are plus they altered the bios for the fan speed so not sure why


    3. I bet the k12 will be on sale again


    i do appreciate the help but these boxes are very cheap and I just Don’t get why they are so cheap. Are they poor build quality or is there some sort of longevity of the boxes.

    I am just trying to look at all angles and seeing which is the best option for me

    I've seen you post on Hotukdeals. you should have noticed almost universally this box is loved and praised, it was on for £155, you had another £35 cashback from TopCashBack, £120 barebones
    would have cost you £105 for 16GB DDR5

    £260, and get some storage for like £40
    the top fan I gave you a solution. you buy the cable, and noctua fans , it's not even bad looking and also won't add much height, bottom fan was alright, at 20-30% fan speed it would be silent at 2 metres or more

    what do you want? we might get it back or we might not, maybe you won't have paypal and less TCB. there are many ways to make it quieter if the noise bothered you. Aliexpress have always done these great deals for UK. hotukdeals gives them guarenteed group of people who are willing to buy. I've been doing this with them since 2013. we get good deals

    From what I've gathered, the minimum specs needed to get the most out of LE and DV FEL + 3D would be AMD 7640HS, 16GB LPDDR5 (dual), SSD NVMe storage (128GB+), and HDMI 2.1 (optional).

    Am I getting this right?

    No need for 16GB RAM, mine only uses around 15% of it.

    System takes up 1GB of space, the rest is Storage and if you use a NAS for your movies there is no need for a big expensive SSD.
