MeLE Overclock4C mini PC with Intel Core i3-N300 coming soon

The MeLE Overclock4C is a nearly pocket-sized desktop computer with an Intel Alder Lake-N processor that’s been pushed to allow better sustained performance by increasing the power limits.

After launching the original MeLe Overclock4C with an Intel N95 processor in 2023, MeLe followed up this summer with a version sporting an Intel N100 chip. Now the company has introduced the most powerful model to date: the new MeLE Overclock4C with an Intel N300 processor should be available soon from Amazon and other retailers.

For the most part, the new computer looks the same as its predecessors, which means it’s a 178 x 94 x 21mm (7″ x 3.7″ x 0.8″) computer with a SODIMM slot for up to 32GB of DDR4-3200 memory, an M.2 2280 slot for a PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD, support for eMMC flash storage, plus a microsD card reader and plenty of other ports.

What’s new is that instead of a quad-core processor with support for CPU frequencies up to 3.8 GHz, the new model has an octa-core chip that tops out at 3.8 GHz. The new model should also bring a significant boost in graphics performance.

While the Intel Core i3-N300 processor has a default TDP of 7 watts, MeLE has set the PL1 value to 15 watts for the Overclock 4C, while configuring the system with a PL2 value of 25 watts. While the extra power doesn’t have any impact on the CPU frequency, it could allow the chip to run at or near its top speed for longer periods of time before throttling.

Keep in mind that this is an actively cooled computer, so it’s safe to expect some fan noise during operation.

The version listed at Amazon features 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage (divided between 256GB of onboard eMMC storage and a 256GB SSD). But it’s possible that we could see models with more or less memory and storage. And since the RAM and SSD are both user replaceable, you can also perform your own upgrades.

Ports include:

• 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
• 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
• 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A
• 2 x HDMI 2.0
• 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
• 1 x 3.5mm audio
• 1 x microSD card reader

MeLE says the system supports USB Type-C power adapters with support for 36W (12V/3A) or higher power delivery. The USB Type-C also supports DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode for video output, which means you can connect up to three displays.

Other features include support for WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1 as well as Wake on LAN, Auto Power On, and PXE boot functionality.

Mele Overclock 4C pocket-sized computer with Intel N100 now available for under $200

The Mele Overclock 4C is a tiny desktop computer that’s a pocket-sized PC with support for user-upgradeable memory and storage. Last year the company launched the Overclock 4C as a cheap but versatile Intel N95 processor.

Now Mele has expanded the Overclock 4C lineup to include models with Intel N100 chips, which should offer slightly better performance while consuming a little less power. The latest version of the Mele Overclock 4C is available from Amazon with prices starting at under $200 when you clip the on-page coupon.

The computer measures 178 x 94 x 21mm (7″ x 3.7″ x 0.8″), making it small enough to slide into a pocket. But unlike most mini PCs this size, it features a SODIMM slot for user-upgradeable DDR4-3200 memory and an M.2 2280 slot for  a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe or SATA SSD.

It also has 256GB of eMMC 5.1 flash storage – entry level models ship with just the flash storage, while higher-priced configurations have eMMC and an M.2 SSD.

Ports include:

• 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (Power, data, and video)
• 1 x USB Type-C (power only)
• 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
• 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A
• 2 x HDMI 2.0
• 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
• 1 x 3.5mm audio

The system supports USB Power Delivery and should work with 12 to 20 volt power adapters that supply at least 36 watts of power.

Mele’s “Overclock” branded mini PCs get their name from a feature that lets you adjust the PL1 and PL2 power limits for improved sustained performance. As Ian Morrison noted when reviewing the Overclock 3C for Liliputing though, “overclock” usually implies that the CPU frequency can be increased, and that’s not the case for the Mele Overclock mini PCs.

So what sets the new model apart from the version that launched late last year? Not much, really. But the new version should offer some efficiency improvements.

Both the Intel N95 and N100 processors are part of the Intel Alder Lake-N line of chips, which are basically what you’d get if you built 12th-gen Intel Core processor using only Efficiency cores with no Performance cores.

They’re also both quad-core processors with support for CPU speeds up to 3.4 GHz and Intel UHD graphics. But the Intel N95 chip is a 15-watt processor with 16 GPU execution units (EUs) and graphics speeds up to 1.2 GHz, while the N100 is a 6-watt chip with 24 EUs at up to 750 MHz.

In terms of performance, they’re pretty similar, but since the N100 is designed to use less power, it may be a better fit for a small computer like the Overclock 4C, where there may be a risk of overheating.

Mele’s mini PC also features a copper heat pipe and a 4500 RPM fan that should help keep the system cool while keeping fan noise below 40 dB.
