Greetings to the forum I have this mini pc the 4GB Ram and I'm quite happy with its performance etc. But I would like to know if it is possible to expand the Ram and if so? what would be the maximum that I could put, thank you all and congratulations on the forum because it is very helpful and useful in gener

Ram no, can add a bigger storage

Hi to all does anybody have all the drivers for the acepc ak1 I need them asap

[Bcarroll]

I am looking for the option in the BIOS to auto recover after power failure but am finding nothing for the ACEPC AK1. Does anyone know where or how to do this? Thanks.

I was considering buying this device. Then I found reviews on amazon like that:
"Issues I have: can't seem to get the hdd formatted for whatever reason. I'll try to do so from an enclosure and see if that works or the issue is a power limitation thing."

or this one.

Thanks Gornar good to know i also read the reviews
thanksbfor pointing them out.

And how did you assume about that i am just asking because i am curious where did you read about faulty usb-c port?

well the ak1 suffered a hardware failure and would unexpectedly turn off, so on to another device.

So sad to here about that probably a faulty device?

[Gormar]

Bottom USB-C port or hard drive bay is faulty on many of these AK1 devices .

[Blazer]

no trash, refunded, doesn't use n3450 in ak1 but didn't change anything inside, and it wasn't failing because of overheat, apparently the bottom ssd port was problem as after shutoff ssd was corrupt.

[Gormar]

Blazer. Did you use any method to change TDP of your N3450 SoC inside AK1? Even so it shouldn't fail so easily because there is quite beefy cooler and what's more it covers RAM.
Edit: Sadly PMU (or PCU - Power Control Unit) - Power Management Unit (RT5074A) isn't covered by this cooler.

Before throwing that box into trash bin try to find new 12V power adapter. That is my first thought when dealing with random shutdowns.
