In my experience, Intel NUCs may be slightly better constructed, but the difference is usually very slight or non-existent. Nearly all worked well.
By far the biggest difference is after purchase technical support and bug fixes.
Intel and of the the other well known brands like Acer, Asus, HP, have large support sites and provide ongoing driver upgrades, bios fixes, and a reliable method of contacting the vendor for questions/warranty.
AceMagic, Minis-Forum, and Bee-Link are a tier down from that. All three have very active user forums on their websites where you can get technical info, driver downloads, and can make contact for warranty issues. However, these companies very seldom release Bios Updates and any driver updates will come from the parts manufacturer like Realtek or Intel, not the PC brand.
The AceMagic forum support is very good, like Bee-link, Minis-Forum.
3rd tier brands who sell very little in the U.S may or may not have any web support at all. They likely have no active forums and may be hard to find if you need a repair or questions answered.
My helpful hint: check the manufacturer's website and log on the user forum before making a purchase. You will find if there are frequent issues with the model you are considering, if customer questions are answered promptly, and if they provide image files so you can easily re-install the operating system. I think Acemagic is good in these areas.

Sooo, they are definitely a company that trades reviews for products (same with BeeLink, etc.) However, the products are definitely fine. I've owned three of them, and haven't really found any flaws. The components inside are basic (SSD, RAM), but they do the job.

Also these quick benchmarks don't give you a picture of the long session performance. The 5800U has the same boost frequency but much lower base clock, long sessions will drop from the boost frequency and the 5800h will increase the lead. I believe true performance difference is bigger than just the 12% shown in the benchmark

Edit: I went with this Beelink Intel i5-1235U for a few bucks more. Research says I'd have a much better experience for my use case. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BLSGKXKL/
Any chance you got a defective unit? Like maybe heatsink wasn't screwed down all the way, thermal paste wasn't applied properly, etc?

I got the earlier AM06 6250U (same 15W rating) and it is quite quiet except for brief moments like during boot or unusually high CPU usage. Even then it is just a soft woosh since there is just a single fan instead of two higher RPM fans.
