I felt very strongly about this, i.e., the very limited visibility into Ryzen processors. I am amazed that people don’t talk about it. It is important, especially being able to monitor CPU processor temps.
I wasn’t sure whether Amazon would publish my review given that I have BAD THINGS to say — & even use the word ‘garbage’. But, it did get approved, though it took 3 days.
I am glad. Others need to know this. I don’t want them to find out, like I did, the hard way.
‘Beelink SER6 MAX‘ I got from Amazon,
with a Ryzen 9 9600HX.
The Beelink SER6 MAX worked, appeared to work VERY NICELY
— and I was getting quite attached to it.
This was my first venture with AMD (– & I happen to be an AMD shareholder).
It appears that (most) AMD processors ONLY HAVE ONE temp. sensor — for the entire processor, as opposed to a sensor per CORE.
With the Ryzen 9 you just see ONE CORE. Yikes. I couldn’t deal with that.
Plus, it appears that a lot of software, including AMD’s OWN ‘Ryzen Master’ doesn’t support the 6900HX because it is NEW and, moreover, a MOBILE processor.
I couldn’t live with that.
I RETURNED the Beelink.
Nothing wrong with the Beelink. I just HATED the AMD Ryzen processor!
NEVER GETTING AN AMD PROCESSOR AGAIN.
