    CWWK 6 Port Router Intel U300/i3-1315U/i5-1335U/i7-1355U

    Those seem about like the expected results for a Gen 3.0 device with 4 lanes and then 1 lane respectively.

    CWWK 6 Port Router Intel U300/i3-1315U/i5-1335U/i7-1355U

    Has anyone measured the idle power consumption of their i5-1315u variant? Also, how adequate is the cooling of a M.2 SSD since there's no forced airflow in the bottom? How hot does the CPU get under a stress test?

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Has anyone tried these variants that have a fan in the top of the case? 4 port i226v 8505/11th/12th gen DDR4: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805157435390.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805375961295.html With these you can get a 8505 barebones system for $180-200 before any...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Thanks for the reply. This will be my first "DIY" router so I don't know where the extra ports might be useful. Seems like I just need a WAN port and a LAN port. I have a N100 Beelink EQ12 already that I've been using for ~6 months as media player running LibreELEC. I have no real complaints...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've read most of the thread. If I'm just looking to run bare metal OPNsense on a N100 variant what's the advantage of the CWWK/Topton/Hunsn box vs. a Beelink EQ12? Especially if I end up adding a fan to the passive CWWK/Topton/Hunsn box. A Beelink EQ12...

    How to determine the rank (config) of a SODIMM before buying?

    Thank you... I hadn't thought to be looking for single sticks of OEM memory. I found quite a few listings on eBay for 16GB 2rx8 DDR4 3200Mhz SODIMMs. Edit: I used the OEM part numbers on the SODIMMs that I found earlier to find more listings for them. I also discovered that eBay's search...

    How to determine the rank (config) of a SODIMM before buying?

    I think that means an 8 chip DDR4 SODIMM could also be dual rank (or not)... Can a 16 chip SODIMM DDR4 be single rank? (1x16?) Is trying to find 16 chip SODIMMs my best bet to maximize the likelihood of getting dual rank SODIMMs?

    How to determine the rank (config) of a SODIMM before buying?

    :( That's what I figured. Am I right that a SODIMM with 16 chips on it should be dual-rank though? Edit: Could a 16 chip SODIMM be 1x16?

    How to determine the rank (config) of a SODIMM before buying?

    I have an AMD Zen 3 based mini PC with 2 DDR4 SODIMM slots. Everything I've read says dual rank memory has the best performance in AMD systems. How can I determine the rank of a given SODIMM before buying? I'm trying to get a 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz kit. Crucial will list the rank config, but for...

    Lenovo Thinkcentre/ThinkStation Tiny (Project TinyMiniMicro) Reference Thread

    Yesterday I bought a slightly used M75q gen 2 (Zen 3) via eBay and the SSD is wiped / seller says it has no OS, but it originally came with Windows 10 64-bit via downgrade rights (looking up the SN at Lenovo). The Windows product key is stored in the BIOS and I should be able to just install...

    Supermicro 3.5 HDD screws

    I'm not gonna lie, I bought 2000. That was the sweet spot in price per screw for me.

    Supermicro 3.5 HDD screws

    Why get 2000 for $18 when you can get 10,000 screws for $80? https://www.ebay.com/itm/373439777703

    EU FOUND: sanely priced 5950X or 5800X3D

    It can't be that much of a loss leader. Even Amazon has them for $550.

    EU FOUND: sanely priced 5950X or 5800X3D

    I'm not sure how different the market is in Europe, but some US auctions on eBay for the 5950X end in the $425 range. A new one is only $520 at Microcenter.

    FWIW, that guy turned out to be legit. I don't get the carefree attitude :confused:

    SanDisk CloudSpeed Eco 1.92TB 2.5" SATA $120

    I'll be curious to see if you get the 960GB or the 1.92TB and how much life is left on them. :D

    SanDisk CloudSpeed Eco 1.92TB 2.5" SATA $120

    I can't help it that you don't value your time, but I do. My time is worth more to me than fussing with buying and returning stuff on eBay. Additionally, it's a bit of a dick move since the seller made no claims about the life left and you know you're rolling the dice with a used SSD. If I care...

    SanDisk CloudSpeed Eco 1.92TB 2.5" SATA $120

    Well, I guess this thread answers my question about who buys used SSD's of unknown health. The last used SSD I bought said at least 95% health in the listing. The drive I got had ~13.5k power on hours hours on it and only 36GB written to it out of the 7PB it's rated for. o_O
