    Topton 'NAS' motherboard.

    My board from CWWK arrive a day early. It was able to power on and get straight into the BIOS. That confirms that the Topton board was faulty. I've already filed the dispute claim, so hopefully that goes through ok.

    Topton 'NAS' motherboard.

    I immediately went and searched aliexpress for those MBs when I saw that kickstarter last week. Nothing yet, but if they do get made I'll for sure buy at least one of the 4 options.

    Topton 'NAS' motherboard.

    Still no response from Topton about my non-functional board, in my message to them today I let them know that I'll be opening a dispute on Thursday if there is no resolution. While I've been waiting for Chinese New Year to end and Topton to get back to me I went ahead and ordered a new board...

    They are both Crucial 2x8GB 3200. I bought a new set expressly for this board and the other set has been in use in a NUC for quite a while. I ordered some Corsair and GSkill so-dimms that should be arriving today.

    Topton 'NAS' motherboard.

    I've tried shorting JBAT and I've tried leaving the battery out. I appreciate all the suggestions. I've got decades of experience, so I'm either doing something stupid or I have a bad board. At this point I think I'll be waiting until after Chinese New Year to get a new board.

    Topton 'NAS' motherboard.

    After seeing a thread about someone having trouble powering on a Topton mini-PC with a certain SSD I decided to give it another go. I retried single DIMM A, single DIMM B, dual DIMM, no SSD, SSD in slot 1, SSD in slot 2. Two different sets of DIMMs, two different SSDs. I plugged in an ethernet...

    Topton N5105 router won't boot with Teamgroup NVME

    This is interesting. I got a Topton board today and wasn't able to get it to power on. I have the same 2x8GB Crucial SO-DIMMs, but was using an Optane SSD. I'll give different SSDs a try. Edit: No difference for me with a Crucial P3 SSD.

    Tried single so-dimm, tried both slots. Are there any leds on the board? I had zero indication of power.

    Topton 'NAS' motherboard.

    Silverstone FX350-G, this is the power supply that I was planning on using. When that didn't work I tried a Corsair SF750 that my son had around as a spare. Yes, 24 pin and 4 pin were both connected.

    Topton 'NAS' motherboard.

    I'm still waiting for my board to ship, but compiling the rest of the parts in the meantime. Can someone confirm whether the case fan header is 3 pin or 4 pin? From the pictures I've seen it appears to be 3 pin.

    Intel Atom C5000 Series Stealthily Launched

    I'd love to see a C5000 board with 2x2.5GbE + 2x10GbE. So far the only boards I've been able to find are Supermicro that are still listed as coming soon and don't really fit what I would want. Has anyone come across other offerings yet?

    Topton 'NAS' motherboard.

    I just ordered one to play around with. What cases are you guys putting this in? I'm thinking of using the iStarUSA 1U chassis.
