Can anyone tell me why You put 48GB ram in n100/n305? What container use so much memory?
I thought the 32GB I put in this unit for just opnSense was overkill, but I just had one laying around. for 48GB and one would need a lot of containers, but then you'd run into a bottleneck with the CPU. I don't really get it either if ram stick was purposely bought for N100/N300 unit.

When used as virtualization hosts, the more ram the better. I've got an N305 with 32Gb of ram and sitting at 10% cpu with 90% memory utilization running a dozen or so VMs / Containers.

The problem is 48Gb Dimms are not common and usually more than double the cost of a 32Gb dimm. For my use case it makes more sense to purchase another N100 / N305 node with 32Gb ram, than to use 48Gb in single nodes.

That could be a fit. for the COM port. I might buy some and try it.

I was initially thinking the fan connector looks to me (for the CW-ADLN-6L) as a 1.0mm pitch JSP SH Series connector
but looking at the photo again it may be 1.25mm pitch. I have some connectors in my cart, but it will be a couple of weeks before I order anything.
I confirm that it is 1.25mm pitch for FAN. I just don't know the pinouts whether they are compatible with PWM FAN.

It looks like I've narrowed it down to the N100 on CWWK's AliExpress store (cheaper in CAD$ to do it that way) (This one). I have a 3Gig/3Gig PPPoE connection. Anyone running Proxmox and PFSense with a similar speed using PPPoE? I just want to make sure I have the CPU to max out the NICs. My current i5-4570S does it without a sweat (20-30% CPU) but it's power hungry and I'd prefer to reduce that.

I'm interested to follow up the same topic.

try to find ground, then 12v and 5v :) then you will know, just simple use multimeter

Be careful and measure.

The 1.25 pitch 4 pin molex connector adapter fan cable I got from Hunsn (that works on my RJ35 4 port ) was wired differently from the same 1.25 molex 4 pin connector used on an Intel NUC13 for the CPU fan connection.

So somehow my Ali order has not shipped for 5 days now - anybody else seeing the same?
