In this episode of Cyber Gizmo, I take a close look at the Kamrui E3B Mini PC, powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 7430U. This 6-core, 12-thread system delivers impressive performance, making it a great candidate for use as a Linux workstation, an NFS server for Proxmox, or even as a NAS box. I’ll walk you through the unboxing, hardware specs, BIOS options, benchmark results, and my specific use case setup — all with the goal of giving you a real-world view, not just theoretical benchmarks.
I also compare Windows and Linux performance side-by-side and run Phoronix benchmarks to test where this device really stands.

Specs Recap:
• AMD Ryzen 5 7430U (6C/12T, up to 4.3GHz)
• 32GB DDR4 (dual channel)
• 512GB M.2 SATA SSD
• Radeon Graphics with OpenCL & Vulkan scores over 12,000
• 4K60 Triple Display Output
• 6x USB 3.2 ports (including Type-C)
• Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2
• VESA mount included
Use Case: I’m configuring this unit to serve as an NFS backup server for my Proxmox lab. I’ll share why benchmarking NFS incorrectly can give misleading performance numbers—and how to avoid that trap.
If you’re looking for a powerful mini system with great Linux compatibility and a flexible BIOS, this one might be worth your attention.
Look for a video coming soon on how to measure the performance of an NFS Server and NFS Client.
