Overview
The Beelink SER8 is a compact mini PC (0.814 L, 0.75 kg) built around the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS (8C/16T, Radeon 780M iGPU) — Beelink describes it as equivalent to the 8845HS without the Ryzen AI NPU. It uses the MSC 2.0 cooling system (vapor chamber, silent fan, SSD heatsink) rated at 32 dB, a metal case with a dustproof bottom filter, and no top or side vents. It supports up to 3 displays at 4K (HDMI 2.1 4K@120 Hz, DP 1.4 4K@144 Hz, USB4 40 Gbps with DP 1.4/PD), 2.5 GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, 2 × DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM slots and 2 × M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots (up to 8 TB). Power adapter: 19 V / 5.26 A. Warranty: 3 years.

Firmware updates & support
BIOS 15.16 fixes a chipset driver conflict (crashes, stutter, random restarts after OS or AMD driver updates). Flash it before installing new AMD drivers. Connect the PC to stable power while flashing.
Local firmware archive (DRIVERS/BIOS)
OS drivers (DRIVERS/DRIVER, graphics package) are documented in each operating system’s handbook — see Operating Systems.
