I'm looking at this one since it's like $10 cheaper, but only the EU power variant is available. Is this a barrel jack where I can just use any 12V power supply?

That's normal I think, officially N100 only supports DDR5-4800, so by "compatible" it means it'll downclock. Unless there is a BIOS for you to configure it to overclock the memory. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/231803/intel-processor-n100-6m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz.html

Thanks both, @alaricljs and @iball , I haven't ran into where I need addons yet, so I guess I can keep it on container for now.

I got stumped earlier as well, make sure you update both grub and initramfs after you made all the changes to the config files. https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/pci-passthrough-on-the-aliexpress-boxes.40477/#post-392507

Slightly off-topic for this thread, but does Home Assistant actually need to run as its own VM? Mine's a container running on an Ubuntu VM on my N305 box.

On my 6 NIC unit I started straight up with 8.0.2 (I think), then updated to 8.0.3, didn't need to start with 7. Haven't updated to 8.1.3 yet though.

I have it, with Proxmox 8 running my home network with an OPNSense VM. Runs great, no hiccups or anything, been using it for months.

Looking at this a bit more, this looks like a standard COM port pinout on most motherboards, except with a smaller header like this one: RS-232 COM Port Header Cable - AT/Everex - 2.0 mm Which makes the ? pin an actual No Connect. Supposedly for keying. And my guess is that you just need to...

For those looking for cooling solutions, apparently there is an "official" 3D-printed external fan stand that allows you to mount a larger fan at the bottom and raise the unit: I've seen this bracket in a few review videos.

Do you know what type of connector is this? Want to order a bracket so I can move to console, so I can passthrough the GPU to a VM.

I was referring to what the M2_NVME_X1/NA jumper does as well as the USB 2.0 header pinout. As for memory, If only Best Buy still allows opened memory returns, I can probably test it out, lol. Probably still want to run a full Memtest though to confirm.

Unfortunately the seller can't provide it, I even tried the manufacturer via WeChat, not too helpful there.

The physical ON/OFF toggle is for determining whether it will automatically power on when you plug the machine in.

That's where the factory fan mount is as well. However I don't know if it's really necessary, I have a SATA drive mounted there and so far no problems with the fan blowing the fins on top.

I just screwed my fan onto the fins like an old-school 486 cooler, lol.

Here you go... mind you one of my M.2 slots I have an Wi-Fi card installed. https://pastebin.com/R0HKtZjb

Curious what happened? Mine was from Topton and seems fine. Granted their support was a bit slow and didn't get the question right until I started speaking in Chinese to them.

FWIW, I ordered my 6-NIC N305 unit from Ali, it arrived via DHL and miraculously I still haven't got a duty/brokerage bill yet.

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.
