I drilled a Noctua NF-F12 5V externally to the fins (like how old CPU coolers are mounted) and the sensors are reporting under 40C temperatures, sometimes as low as 30 if I leave my closet open. Waiting for the adapter cable so I can try to make it controlled via PWM.

Use a Philips head and punch the mesh on these holes, then mount it there. You can only either mount a 2.5" drive or the fan.

So I ended up ordering a slightly different one because it was cheaper (https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005872611013.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2vnm add it to your cart and play around with the mobile app's "pick 3 for free shipping" deal, got this for like $2), but it is working very well. Plugged...

For the 6L version, I suspect the 2 NVMEs are configurable. There's this jumper on my board that seemingly disables one of the slots, so it might give an extra lane to the other slot, not sure. Also shown is the internal USB 2.0 header, which I am planning to use for the Bluetooth portion of...

Mine's only 2 cores, 4GB memory and 40GB storage for now, close to what I put for pfSense bare metal previously. But then I only have a 25/10Mbps DSL connection to deal with, lol.

Was configuring and testing a few things, the box has my OPNsense and Docker server on it running some containers. Maybe around 2-30%? But "warm to touch" just means the heatsink is working IMO, I wouldn't be too worried about it. Point is the heat is not just on the chip cooking it. It's when...

N-series Tjmax is up to 105C, so I wouldn't worry too much. My N305 has been running all day and it also hovers around that:

They do, actually, in China. I've read they pretty much come standard on units sold on Taobao.

Apologies for the confusion.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004655914711.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.118e38dakNh1nB&mp=1 Looking at this one. It has an extra cable to feed out the USB for the Bluetooth, which coincidentally the motherboard has an internal USB header for this.

The 5 and 6 port versions indeed trade the A+E key slot for another i226-V interface for Wi-Fi, which is part of the reason I'm having some buyer's remorse right now. However, since there are 2 NVMe slots, I am looking at a M-key to E-Key adapter which might allow me to install a Wi-Fi card...

Now that you mention it, both should be needed, since there's the boot flag and the vfio modules to add.

I've only used the Aliexpress chat. From my research this is CWWK's storage, there are some BIOSes in there: 畅网官方网盘 The directory names are in Chinese though, but not much for the Alder Lake N-series, only the 4-port version update to support the SATA brackets. I could help translate when I...

Fixed the issue... turns out I need to re-run update-grub. For some reason the guides I was following told me to run update-initramfs...

This is the BIOS I have: Mind you, I have the 6-port version, so the BIOS could be different.

It's actually a GPU fan header. Look for GPU PWM fan adapter and you should be good to hook a 12V PWM fan.

Yes, it's part of the how-to I found.

How long does the approval take? Made a few replies since yesterday and none are showing up.

On my N305 6-port unit, the Type C definitely worked for DP, even worked with MST for 2 monitors over one port. And confirmed it works for USB 3.0:

How did you get the PCI passthrough to work? I have the N305 unit but I get the dreaded IOMMU not enabled error when trying to add PCI devices.
