A Look Inside

Access to the internals requires a two-step process: the outer panel comes off first, and then a second internal plate secured with screws is revealed. A fan is mounted to the underside of that plate, drawing air across the motherboard when the system is under load. This active airflow setup helps move heat away from the CPU and other components and explains the extensive bottom ventilation.


The system offers two M.2 NVMe slots that support PCIe 4.0 SSDs. Both slots are easily reached, and GMKtec has placed a thermal pad on the bundled drive to help manage temperatures during longer transfers. Dual DDR5 SODIMM slots are also accessible once the internal plate is removed, making memory upgrades straightforward.


The Wi-Fi 6E module sits in its own M.2 2230 slot separate from storage, keeping wireless hardware organized and easy to service if needed.
