Hello, I’m sorry for our negligence. In 19 years, we made the Nvme protocol slot, which gave the GK3 slot two protocols. Sorry for your misunderstanding. After judgment, this slot is suitable for M .2Nvme protocol hard disk. This just confuses me even more. My model is GK2, not GK3. And although I ...

Yes my CPU sits upside down when installed in its case, same as yours. If you can spare the time and effort, modifying your heatsink to actually contact the CPU die is best, but a 120mm fan moves enough air to more than flood these tiny chassis. Thanks for the info. I'm ordering that fan right now....

Then it's not an issue with the SSD capacity.
It's either that the slot is for NVME or the slot is broken/disabled.

Can the Admin chime in pls? (and for the love of god, please don't ask me to provide my purchase date and stuff. They are given a few posts up!)

Yes, I saw this solution and am considering it. But in my model, the CPU is facing the bottom side of the case, opposite from the fan. Is yours like this as well? If so, and the fan works, then this is how I'll go.

My GK2 unit was purchased on January 21st 2019 on Amazon. On the motherboard, there is a barcode label that has the production date: 2018.08.29 Also on the motherboard is the revision date: GK1_V1.1 2018.05.08 This is not about partitioning the drive. I have already done that from another machine an...

Can the admin please confirm?

I don't wanna spend another $50 only to find out that the size isn't supported.

The CPU's TDP is 10W, which means at least in theory it is possible to go fanless. But there needs to be sufficient amount of heatsink, which I'm not sure is possible to fit in. Yes I did see the DIY solution, but I don't have the tools to do it. If that is the recommended solution, ACEPC should put...

I've tried everything I can to get the fan in my GK2 to shut up. Well, not that many options other than to mess with the BIOS and replace the thermal paste. Anyways, none of it worked. The fan is loud like crazy and I can't use the computer for anything. Too loud to use it as a media center, too lou...

I installed an M.2 SATA, 1TB SSD, but my machine (GK2, but says GK1 v1.1 on the board) doesn't recognize it. Is there a size limit to the M.2 slot?

I can confirm that it is not a faulty or misinstalled SSD since the drive works on other machines.

I believe this is a common issue across all AK/GK models. I can confirm that it is very unlikely to be the cable getting in the way, because the fan cable is not long enough to do that. I did notice that the fan is a 2-pin fan, but it is plugged into a 3-pin fan socket. I don't know if that means an...
