Re: Advice for FANLESS fast i3 or i5 PC
I have now (pre)-ordered a NUC11-i5 Later (when cases available) I will have to move it to Akasa; I see there are 2 new cases for NUC11th: Newton TN and Plato TN, which one you think will be a better thermal choice? (I have no form factor preference) At the moment - on paper - I like Plato better Th...

Re: Advice for FANLESS fast i3 or i5 PC
@CA_Steve: Thanks again for your valuable and detailed suggestions I think in the end I will keep it simple and buy a ZOTAC as you suggested (model ZBOX CI622 nano). It looks a well engineered fanless solution A bit pricey ($499 on Zotac shop, $399 in pcmag review), but I can live with a i3-10110U (...

Re: Advice for FANLESS fast i3 or i5 PC
@CA_Steve: Thanks, I agree on "...any of the current 15W laptop CPUs should get you there" This suggests to me that there has to be a cheaper solution; I hate the idea that I buy a NUC i3 (or i5) with TDP=15W and then I have to spend $100 on Akasa to make it Fanless My mITX J1900 10W TDP is happily ...

Re: Advice for FANLESS fast i3 or i5 PC
I have now read the post "The idiocy of Intel's T desktop processors" and I have a few questions on my option "c" (using gen10) that is: * Akasa Euler TX (supports up to 35W TDP) * ASUS pro H410T *INTEL i5-10.... Question is: can I buy a "standard" CPU, example i5-10600 (TDP 65W) and set max 35W (vi...

Re: Advice for FANLESS fast i3 or i5 PC
Thanks
@CA_Steve: I see you suggest the NUC option. Since I have no space constraints, do you believe it will be cheaper than a mini-itx solution? (C)

Re: Advice for FANLESS fast i3 or i5 PC
@japanese:
Thanks, but I really want no moving parts - fanless
@abula:
Thanks for the sugestion; I can probably settle with similar i5-11xxx (budget); but then can you suggest a suitable mobo to go into Akasa (BTW which case?); mini-atx board? CPU soldered of socket?

Re: Bay-trail motherboards
I am eyeing on the Asrock Q1900DC as well but I wonder how I can power my harddrive without an ATX psu? The Q1900DC has two sata power headers on the board which supply 12V and 5V for harddrives. It's not clear if the board comes with the cables. Yes it does. I have one of these mobos. It comes wit...

Re: Asrock Q1900DC-ITX review
I bought the Asrock Q1900DC-ITX from Germany, not being able to find it in North America in June 2014. Configured same with 2X4GiB low voltage so-dimms and a Samsung TLC 250GB sata drive, as well as a standard sata DVD drive for loading the OS. Loaded with Centos 6.2 for use as a small file server....

Re: Bay-trail motherboards
New boards from Biostar and Gigabyte added to first post. Only 2x SATA so nothing for me :? EDIT: I also added Intel NUC to the first post Just one clarification, since we are at 'silentpcreview': The Intel NUC DN2820FYKH has an internal FAN spinning! I thought it was fanless. See complete review: ...

Re: Bay-trail motherboards
I'm trying to figure out if it makes any (economic) sense to build my own system with a ASRock IMB-151 compared to the Intel NCU? Intel NCU Intel NUC Forest Canyon - NUC DN2810FYK (Celeron N2810 [2]) 139 USD with shipping Own build ASRock IMB-151: No price yet but most likely over 100 USD Cheapest ...

Re: Bay-trail motherboards
Right,I believe ATX specifies 12v+-5% I got curious after seeing that all 3 AsRock mobos specify wide input range: Power Requirements: Input PWR - 9-36V DC-In using 4-pin ATX PWR Con ...or: 9-19V in one case This is quite useful because you can use a std laptop AC/DC PSU. Also I would be interested ...

Re: Bay-trail motherboards
A question about MSI J1800I: I noticed the so called 'P12V' 4pin connector; do you know if it is possible to power up this mobo with an external 'laptop-like' 20V DC? Or is it ATX only? Thx Yes, it is possible to power this MB using only 12v power. SM is absolutely designing their new mITX boards t...
