LIVA One A300 AMD Socket AM4 Mini PC Barebone Review

 August 17, 2022     No comments   

Yes, I’d just written up that news post on this very system before taking the screenshot.

Talk about a productivity machine. Not only did all of the LIVA One A300’s hardware work perfectly under Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS, but I was reminded for the umpteenth time that I could be happy under this OS for the rest of my life. I quickly forgot I was running test hardware and got to work writing, listening to some old jazz (Joe Henderson’s Mode for Joe, 1966). I even had our latest podcast going in the corner just to push the multi-tasking aspect. No problem.

Now for the one actual issue that I experienced, under both Ubuntu and Windows 11, and it was an annoying one (at least from a noise output standpoint). No matter what I tried, waking the system from sleep would always result in 100% fan speed (around 4850 RPM), with the above mentioned 50.5 dBA noise output from this scenario, and I had to reboot the system to get it back down.

The fan speed profile is adjustable in system setup (I had this set to “normal”), but that wasn’t the issue. I tested thermals extensively under Windows 11, and observed the slow ramp from 2884 RPM up to 3358 RPM under extended load (Blender, Classroom); normally, the fan slowly ramps up under load, favoring silence at the “normal” preset. The issue was limited to a system waking from sleep.

Adblock test (Why?)
