    Lenovo Thinkcentre/ThinkStation Tiny (Project TinyMiniMicro) Reference Thread

    The only way I've seen someone use a non GE with a Tiny model is they used a BIOS programmer to flash either a specific BIOS or one that was customized for them - reddit thread here: overall you'd be capped by the CPU TDP and so you wouldn't get full performance from that 8700G - however there...

    The fan for m75q Gen 2 with the 5650GE (11JN) is much louder than its previous iteration 11JJ 4650GE. Here's how to reduce the fan noise: The m70q Gen 3 fan has longer blades. I bought one on Amazon for $14 - and it fits into the fan shroud of the m75q Gen 2, so you can just swap them. The m70q...

    Can a 2nd nvme SSD be installed? + expansion slot options on the m75q-1 & gen 2 like other models have a 2nd m.2 slot occupied by the wifi card - could the wifi card be removed and actually be replaced with a m.2 nvme... 2242 I guess? Obvi the HDD could be swapped w 2.5 SSD but i'm curious if...

    Hi there, I apologize, I believe I misled you but, there is a bit of hope. Here's a link to the reddit post I found, and basically he uses a BIOS programmer to force flash it onto the BIOS chip of his motherboard: Apparently its affordable, you can get one on ebay, amazon, and you can learn...

    Hi all, I'm embarassingly late to the MiniPC party but been daily driving a Thinkcentre Tiny m75q gen 2 for about 2 months now, love it. The headache has been trying to upgrade from 4650GE to 5650GE, and literally in the past 2 days I found about the nuanced BIOS update and the AMD Zen 3 drama...
