About this deal
When using the increased power configuration (POR 35W adjusted with RyzenAdj) the consumption increased whilst under load as follows:

Inside the Beelink SER is an AMD Ryzen 7 3750H. This is a quad-core mobile processor with eight threads and a Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics cluster. It has a 6MB cache and can run at up to 4GHz without breaking a sweat, in part because it has a relatively low heat dissipation (at least for a desktop PC). Looking at the detailed monitoring during Fire Strike showed an alarming maximum temperature of 97.66°C: Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

I also found that the BIOS Power On Reset (POR) setting was 25W rather than the 35W used in the Beelink GT-R. By changing this BIOS setting to 35W: With an AMD Ryzen 7 APU in tow, plenty of RAM and storage, the Beelink SER is a powerful alternative to big boxes, especially if you don’t want to upgrade or add a discrete graphics card.Device-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Raven/Raven2/FireFlight/Renoir Audio Processor driver: snd_pci_acp3x
