MeLE Overclock 4C

Updated on June 20, 2026

The MeLE Overclock 4C is a slim mini PC built on the Intel N95 (a faster N100 configuration is also sold), running Windows 11 Pro with integrated Intel UHD graphics. Despite the name, it does not overclock: the N95 and N100 are locked Alder Lake-N chips, and “Overclock” is just MeLE’s product-line branding. What the line actually adds over MeLE’s fanless Quieter boxes is active cooling, which, as the reviewers below found, lets the chip hold its clocks longer under load while staying near-silent. It covers everyday web browsing, office work, and 4K media, with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, dual HDMI, and USB-C, plus RAM expandable to 32GB and storage via a microSD slot and an internal M.2 2280 slot.

Detailed Features of the MeLE Overclock 4C

At 7.01 inches wide and just 0.83 inches thick, the Overclock 4C is slim enough to mount behind a monitor with the included VESA bracket, and its fan stays quiet enough that reviewers repeatedly mistook it for fanless. For displays it has two HDMI ports plus a full-function USB-C that carries 4K video, data, and power, so it can run a multi-monitor setup, alongside a Gigabit Ethernet port and a microSD reader.

The N95 (or the N100 on later units) with Intel UHD graphics handles everyday computing comfortably, not gaming or heavy creative work. One detail worth knowing: Windows ships on the onboard eMMC, which is slow, so the common advice from reviewers is to move the OS to the M.2 slot, which takes an NVMe or SATA SSD up to 4TB and runs much faster. RAM is expandable to 32GB.

Reviewer Insights on the MeLE Overclock 4C

OSReviews treated the Overclock 4C as a notable break from MeLE’s fanless tradition: adding active cooling lets the Intel N100 hold its clocks longer, which the reviewer described as “roughly a 10 to 15% performance bump under some of those heavier loads” with little thermal throttling even after 45-minute to hour-long sessions. The surprise was the noise, or lack of it: he placed a microphone right next to the machine and still called the fan “almost indistinguishable from a fanless computer,” while it handled 4K playback from YouTube, Netflix, and local files without trouble. On the bench he saw the N100 “scoring a little bit north of 5,500” while the unit stayed “energy efficient at only 6 watts,” cold-booted Windows 11 in “less than 30 seconds,” and exported “a 5 minute long full HD clip” in three to four minutes (a one-minute 4K clip took around six). His caveats were modest: half the storage is slower eMMC rather than the upgradeable M.2 slot, the polycarbonate shell is “a lint and fingerprint magnet,” and integrated graphics keep native gaming light, though he found emulation and titles like Minecraft and Fortnite “still playable just lowering some of the graphic settings.”

Robtech tested the N95 configuration head-to-head against MeLE’s fanless Quieter 4C and called the naming counterintuitive: the larger, fan-cooled Overclock carries the slower N95, while the smaller silent Quieter runs the N100. The fan still pays off. He recorded “a Max of just 75c” under load, an idle draw of “10 W” rising to “29 W” maxed out, and credited a copper heat pipe feeding the heatsink and fan, coming away “really impressed how quiet it is” even loaded. The active cooling let the N95 edge ahead of the fanless N100 by “15%” in single-core work and by “a ginormous 50 58%” in multi-core, where the throttled Quieter fell well behind. His gripes fit the pattern: there is “no 2.5 GB networking” (gigabit only), and Windows ships on the soldered eMMC rather than the faster NVMe. He also noted the single-channel memory is officially capped at 16GB, but that “32 gig has worked fine every time I tried it.”

leepspvideo reviewed the N100 version and, like the others, initially “thought it was fanless,” calling that “testament to how good the fan is.” Playing a 4K video, he clocked the entire setup (mini PC plus monitor) at “16 watts of power,” and driving three displays from the two HDMI ports and USB-C stayed responsive. Moving the OS to the bundled NVMe is his main advice: CrystalDiskMark showed the M.2 drive at roughly “10 times” the speed of the eMMC that Windows ships on. For gaming he watched Fortnite drop “down to 30 FPS” at 720p but stay “quite playable,” Dirt Rally hold around “35 FPS” at 1080p, and PS2 emulation run “a constant 60 FPS,” while The Witcher 3 proved “a step too far for this processor.”

Those findings track with where these chips sit in 2026. The Overclock 4C ships with 2023-era Alder Lake-N silicon: the N95 lands near 5,400 on PassMark and the N100 around 5,643, entry-level scores that make it a capable browsing, office, media, and light-emulation box rather than a gaming or content-creation machine. MeLE has since added newer configurations; Lon.TV reviewed an Intel N150 version and reached the verdict the name invites, that “the performance isn’t much better than a standard N150” and the real benefit “comes down to the cooling,” with a 3DMark stress run scoring “99.6%” stability and the chip topping out at “47 C.” He was blunter about connectivity than the earlier reviewers, flagging that his N150 unit shipped with gigabit Ethernet and AC Wi-Fi rather than the 2.5GbE and Wi-Fi 6 found on the N95 and N100 boards reviewed elsewhere.

Conclusion

The MeLE Overclock 4C is a sensible pick if you want a slim, near-silent N95 or N100 box for web browsing, office work, and 4K media, with the active cooling and the easy RAM and SSD upgrades as its real selling points. The four reviewers above all landed in the same place: a quiet, efficient little machine that holds its clocks well for the class, as long as you move Windows off the slow eMMC and onto the M.2 drive.

It is not for gaming or heavy creative work, the silicon is entry-level Alder Lake-N, and remember the “Overclock” name is branding, not a feature. If you would rather have no fan at all, MeLE’s Quieter 4C is the fanless sibling (which, confusingly, carries the faster N100).
