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.
