Beelink U57 Windows 10 4K Mini PC performance review The SSD makes it boot super fast and it's powerful enough for VOIP calls and youtube while multitasking with mutiple programs open at once. Install Kodi and this would make an excellent media server with the 2 HDMI ports expandable storage USB 2 and 3 ports and built in wifi and bluetooth. I currently have it hooked up to my TCL 4K QLED Roku TV and to my Yamaha receiver, so I can take advantage of my home theater speakers in addition to the enormous TV monitor and I LOVE this set up! It is tiny and sits on top of my receiver, hardly taking up any space. I have been closely monitoring the CPU temperature and the only time it gets really hot (past 70 degrees C) is when doing processor intensive tasks for long periods, like video rendering or watching 4K videos back to back. Other than that, unit stays fairly cool. My guess is that the heat sink in this unit is not sized properly for an Intel I5 processor (maybe so they could fit it in this small package?) which means the fan (Beelink U57 fan noise) has to work extra hard when the CPU gets hot. If it becomes a problem later, I will "modify" the cooling myself. lol.
