If that response was for me, you'd need different brackets, that are not available from Amazon, but you can get them from Noctua. Check out Manual for cooler that's suppose to work on Narrow-ILM: https://noctua.at/pub/media/blfa_files/manual/noctua_nh_d9dx_i4_3u_manual_en.pdf It shows "NM-XFB4"...

Hi. Does anyone knows how to recover Aruba AP with faulty bootloader? I've done reset via APboot multiple times and it works great for home, but got couple of APs that don't even get to that. Seems that actual boot loader got deleted/damaged. I assume I'll need a way to read memory, most...

I got C14s in two systems with Narrow ILM. You have to email Noctua and convince em to send you a kit though. That's great cooler that helps with memory temps a bit. Now that I mounted all my stuff, I have some spare parts up for grabs: -Noctua D9DX i3 3U in "airflow across ILM" config...

I currently have 9800x3d that's overclocked, with delid kit and mora watercooling ready to go. While I entertain idea of spare desktop (macmini) it seems unnecessary. Plus you confirmed my fears that miniPC with some fan will run circles around streacom system. Speaking of miniitx with cou...

ITX is easy when you don't have GPU and not aiming for sub-10L build. Totally agree on WAF and small/compact build. I'm running mATX "main server" that sits in the the corner nicely and building "backup" server with spinners. Interestingly, that since I posted I acquired free Streacom FC9...

Im afraid, there's no miracle and 65w cpu will perform close to others CPUs running at 65W. Effeciency curve goes down with higher wattage, and newer CPUs are more effecient. I love tiny PCs myself, but server-grade sff stuff gets pretty expensive. Sticking some 65W CPU into ITX case is pretty...

I actually moved to Bay area and located nearby. I'll get back to this in a few days

I got two boards with narrow ILM. There's Narrow ILM mount for asetek AIOs, and corsair makes cpu waterblock with such mount, so you can swap better cooling system. I probably don't need that for my usecase, but im intrigued.

It will work for arcade games, but for anything fast real work station is the way to go. I'd also split due to efficiency concernsm, but that's just me.

I would split main gaming system and the rest of em. I doubt mac os X will be fast with passthrough and etc, so I'd ignore performance aspect there. For me it will be: Xeon with lots of memory and PCIe slots for everything virtualized and personal gaming/workstation rig. I'm running...

You must really like consumer-grade wifi routers. I'd go with mesh-like network, such as Omada, or Aruba IAP (my setup) and some switches. Most recent articles about 2.5gbe poe switches on this site are very helpful. You can do server and virtualized VM if you want (and have hardware to do so).

Living in apartment, so everything must be small/silent. Now moved to big house, but still following that idea. Have 10G network available for servers/etc, using fanless 10g/poe switches. I'd prefer to keep it silent and small, until I get my own house and place rack (or two there)

I keep mentioning: EPC612D4U-2T8R. mATX board with Xeon with integrated both: HBA/SAS and 10G NIC. Small form factor, plenty of slots for spare devices.

I was in your shoes. I'd recommend paying for more powerful server and passive (silent) poe switch. All the enterprise features in small package.

I would be able to help, have Apple Store nearby, but I'm flying skiing tomorrow.

I got exactly the system you're looking for. Sliger Cerberus case (20-21L), Asrock MATX mono (10G + SAS controller onboard): 3x PCIe slots. I'm running PM 1725 drives (pice x8), EVGA 3060ti XC (short 20cm card) and have one slot available. I believe it's a good idea to keep hypervisor and VM...

Drive is subject to failure (unless you updated firmware) I got issues with my Risen 5900, that were fixed by disabling cores. Looks like I fried few cores doing OC. ^_^

Curious what you're working on. Sounds like fun

That's a good reason for me to wait a bit till someone confirms ESXi. What's the most prowerful model with P-cores only? 12500T, I think? I doubt minisforum will go 2 gen back.

I assume I'll be able to select P vs E core in CPU affinity, if I decide to have some small VMs running on E-Cores to keep P-cores for other heavy workloads?
