Product Information

Quieter3C Mini PC shares the same ultra-thin fanless design (measures 13.1 * 8.1 * 1.83cm / 5.15 * 3.18 * 0.72inch). Inside we find the well-known Intel Celeron N5105 processor ( 4 cores, 4 threads 4MB L3 Cache, TDP 10W, and 2.9GHz burst speed). Besides, the device includes also Intel UHD Graphics up to 800 MHz. Additionally, the MeLE Quieter3C offers 8GB RAM (Singel Channel LPDDR4), 128GB eMMC storage. In addition, it allows you to extend your storage via M.2 SSD NVMe (2280) up to 5TB and a microSD card slot up to 2TB. and that only the third port together with the rear Type-C USB port was ‘USB 3.0’ (USB 3.2 Gen 1×1 i.e. 5 Gbit/s): configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=5.15.0-33-generic duplex=full firmware=rtl8168h-2_0.0.2 02/26/15 ip= latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=1Gbit/s The power figures fluctuate so the value is the average of the median high and median low power readings. UEFI (BIOS) I got the Quieter3 to optimize size/weight for mounting on the scope. Time will tell if it was a viable choice. Earlier Atom-based units were just too slow, these newer models seem to have finally crossed the threshold to practical performance.

Wi-Fi 6/ Bluetooth 5.2/ 2.4GHz+5.0GHz Dual band wifi/Gigabit Ethernet multiple Connections, provide more stable and faster internet experience at anywhere. This mini computer equipped with Celeron N5105 quad core fast processor. It’s base operating frequency 2.0 GHz up to 2.9 GHz in burst mode.Work incredibly responsive and faster than Celeron N3350 N4000 N4020 J3355 J3455 J4105 J4125 and Atom z8350. This celeron mini pc could support long time working 7 x 24h. MeLE mini pc support downgrade to windows 10 pro, also support Linux,Ubuntu,Debian, ideal for developer and programmer to run dual customized OS.” MeLE has also stated that they have ‘improved the heat dissipation structure by adding alumina thermal conductive plate and silicon pad on the housing case’: WiFi 6, Bluetooth5.2, Gigabit Ethernet and Dual HDMI，supports 4K@60fps HDR videos dual-screen outputs, 4xUSB 3.0 ports。 System: Kernel: 5.15.0-33-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Console: pty pts/1 Distro: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)

If the CPU frequency is monitored during the stress test, it can be seen that the initial temperature peak is caused by the CPU running at an average of 2800 MHz for the ‘PL1’ duration after which it power throttles and drops to an average frequency of 2620 MHz: When reviewing mini PCs, I typically look at their performance under both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) and compare them against some of the more recently released mini PCs. I now review using Windows 11 version 21H2 and Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. I test with a selection of commonly used Windows benchmarks and/or equivalents for Linuxwhich, as per the specification, was indeed data only and did not support power delivery.

Under prolonged usage, this modification may be more noticeable. Final Observations

A 1x PCIe version 2 interface has a transfer rate about the same as SATA (≈ 500MB/s) and each increment in the version number seems to about double the transfer rate. So, v3 would be approximately 1GB/s, v4 would be 2GB/s, etc. LPDDR4 RAM/128GB/256GB on board eMMC storage，with a Micro SD can up to 2TB, internal M.2 SSD (SATA)/NVMe 2280 up to 5TB.

I also confirmed that the new Type-C USB port supported power delivery by connecting the MeLE Quieter3C directly to a Dell monitor without separately connecting power:

Features of the Mele Quieter3C mini PC

For real-world testing, I played some videos in Edge and Chrome on Windows and in Firefox and Chrome on Ubuntu. On Edge the initial codec for a video is ‘av01’ however as it then typically struggles to play the video it switches to ‘vp09’ whereas Chrome always used ‘vp09’: It is also possible to use the M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slot to connect an eGPU. To test I used a GT 1030 installed in ADT-Link’s R43SF ‘M.2 NVMe to PCI-Express x16 Extension Cable’ powered by an SFX power supply: Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
