Beelink SER3 mini PC review: The older Ryzen 7 3750H has its uses

No frills HTPC. If Intel isn't your thing, then the AMD-powered SER3 can offer a similar level of performance as an older 8th gen Core-U series while costing a bit less. It also comes with dual storage and RAM options for easy upgrades down the road.

Beelink carries several mini PCs powered by older Intel and AMD CPUs as cheaper alternatives to the newest Intel NUCs powered by the latest generation of processors. Nearly all HTPC applications ranging from web browsing to 4K video streaming don't require the fastest and greatest CPUs which mean most users can get away with less expensive hardware.

Our Beelink SER3 test unit comes equipped with the two-year old AMD Zen+ Ryzen 7 3750H CPU that has since been replaced by the newer Zen 2 4000H and Zen 3 5000H series.

Case

The chassis is mostly matte metal with a bit of glossy plastic on the front and part of the top. First impressions are strong albeit not as rigid as an Intel NUC which utilizes thicker and heavier metal materials.

Connectivity

Port options are exactly the same as on the Beelink SEi10. However, keep in mind that there is no Thunderbolt on the SER3 since its AMD CPU does not natively support the interface.

The USB-C port supports DisplayPort-out, but it would strangely only work with some and not all of our external monitors.

Performance

 

Testing Conditions

Our unit was set to Performance mode prior to running any benchmarks below for the highest possible scores.

Processor

Raw CPU performance is comparable to the Core i5-8259U in the competing GMK NucBox 2. It doesn't quite reach the performance of newer Zen 2 or Tiger Lake U-series CPUs like the Ryzen 7 5700U or Core i5-1135G7 commonly found on the latest Ultrabooks. Performance when under high loads for long periods is consistent nonetheless with no major throttling issues.

Storage Devices

Whereas our SEi10 comes with a 256 GB Silicon Motion AZW NVMe SSD, our SER3 comes with the 512 GB version instead. Sequential read and write rates reveal the drive to be a midrange NVMe offering. Transfer rates will slow over time when stressed from 1900 MB/s to 1400 MB/s or slower due to thermal limitations. Many Intel NUCs integrate a heat spreader on top of the NVMe SSD for cooling to prevent or delay the performance slowdown.

GPU Performance

Graphics performance is most similar to the Iris Plus Graphics 655. While our Radeon RX Vega 10 is a decent upgrade over the UHD Graphics 620, it's still significantly slower than the latest Iris Xe NUC options from Intel. Overall performance is slightly slower than the average RX Vega 10 in our database because our SER3 test unit comes with single-channel RAM only. Users can squeeze more performance from the GPU if configured with dual-channel RAM.

Emissions

System Noise

The fan pulses frequently when running typical HTPC loads like browsing or video streaming. The pulsing isn't extreme at only up to 29.4 dB(A) against a silent background of 23.4 dB(A), but it's noticeable in a quiet office setting. It's thankfully not loud enough to be distracting during louder music or video playback.

Running higher loads like games can induce a fan noise of up to 37 to 43 dB(A) not unlike many U-series-powered Ultrabooks or the older Intel NUC8i7BE.

Temperature

AC adapter after an hour of gaming
AC adapter after an hour of gaming

Surface temperatures are not an issue for the SER3. Warm air exits from the rear while cool air enters from atop and so we don't recommend stacking any books or papers on the mini PC.

The AC adapter can get warmer than the mini PC itself when running high loads as shown by our temperature maps.

Stress Test

When running Prime95, CPU clock rates would boost to 3.3 GHz for the first minute or so until reaching a core temperature of 78 C. Clock rates would then fall to 3.0 GHz in order to maintain a cooler core temperature of 72 C.

Core temperature is relatively cool at only 56 C when running Witcher 3 compared to 62 C on the Intel NUC11TNKi5 Pro.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Power consumption when idling on desktop is slightly higher than most other mini PCs running on Core U-series CPUs since our SER3 utilizes a more demanding H-series processor. Nonetheless, power consumption when running higher loads is lower than expected at just 30 W to 40 W on average.

We're able to record a maximum of just under 49 W from the medium-sized (~10 x 5 x 6 cm including prongs) 57 W AC adapter when at 100 percent CPU utilization. This rate falls after about a minute due to thermal limitations.

Verdict

In review: Beelink SER3. Test unit provided by Beelink
In review: Beelink SER3. Test unit provided by Beelink

For less than $500 USD, users are getting an HTPC-ready mini PC with a performance level similar to the Core i5-8259U in some Intel NUCs. The system is several steps up from other inexpensive mini PCs running on Atom or Celeron CPUs like the Chuwi LarkBox or GBox which are notoriously slow even when running undemanding applications. We appreciate that Beelink is offering the SER3 as ready-to-go PCs complete with RAM and storage whereas Intel NUCs are almost always sold as barebone SKUs.

The Beelink SER3 is an easy-to-use discreet HTPC with accessible upgrade options. Be prepared for a bit of fan noise especially when running very demanding applications.

Buyers should be aware that the SER3 omits a handful of auxiliary features likely to keep costs low. There is no Kensington lock, SD reader, IR receiver, or Thunderbolt support while DP-over-USB-C can be unreliable. The fan pulses frequently and the wall wart AC adapter is both thick and short. The included NVMe SSD, while decently fast, will throttle in performance when stressed due to the lack of a built-in heat spreader.

Price and Availability

The Beelink SER3 can be found on Amazon for $479 USD with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD or $559 USD with double the RAM and storage.
