Did you have any luck resurrecting your DeskMini? You may have inadvertently popped the diode that provides reverse-polarity and transient voltage protection. Have a look near the DC input jack at the component labelled PTV. I popped mine by accident when I was messing with a different PSU and accidentally reversed the +/- pins, but it now works fine after removing that component (although obviously without the protection now).Have a look at yours and see if it's intact or burned, if the latter, try desoldering it (carefully) - don't short the pins though, just leave it disconnected.Completely agree, the main benefit of 4000G/5000G is in the single and multi-thread performance, definitely not the GPU itself - there you'll see only a marginal benefit.I've now got... 3200G, 4650G, 5600G so when I can be arsed I'll do some benchmarks to show the exact difference in my X300::EDIT:: The biggest benefit you can give your iGPU is faster RAM -- mine is running at 4000/22/20/20
