Trigkey S5/Beelink SER5 disassembly & thermal paste change

Full disassembly and thermal paste replacement of Chinese Ryzen 5560U/5700U Mini PC commonly sold under Trigkey S5 and Beelink SER5 names. 5800H version is very similar but does differ in some ways, mainly secondary fan and bigger heatsink.

Nice work mate. Cheers

Mine looked like they put a drop of the liquid metal thermal paste on it, fake chinese edition. The cpu fan was the hardest part to take off because it STUCK and i didn't want to break it

[@UweGranzowfilms]

Thanks a lot for demonstrations!

[@Zomboy4313]

Can you power the system from the usb c port?

[@icedcoffee8561]

My heatsink is like soldered on 😂

[@adriana.5476]

does the CPU is upgradable/replaceable?, by judging inside it seems they are attached to motherboard itself.

[@Ashquacks]

@@adriana.5476 no, it is soldered to the board.

Can you add a GPU.... I bought this mini pc and wanna see if it's possible

[@krisztiand7409]

you can try with an external GPU adapter. You would need to move the system from the M.2 drive to either an SSD (if you have slot) or to an external M.2/USB-C adapter. You would need the M.2 PCI-e slot for the GPU connection. Also need a PSU for the GPU.

[@Ashquacks]

I have not tried but theoretically yes, using an adapter to turn the M.2 NVMe slot into a regular PCIe x4 slot. They are commercially available and work with many laptops which this is basically one without a screen.

@@krisztiand7409 there is a SATA SSD slot that can be used as well.
