    Intel N305 with 48GB of ddr5 ram?

    Didn't need to do a thing . . . it was a new build, and the only SODIMM I tried. Still works, AFAICT, just fine.

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    This was 'normal', for me. I (semi-patiently) waited almost two weeks--with little dialogue--in-between my purchase, and shipping. All came-through well, in the end ;)

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    *cough* It took me over a day to get to success, and that was with all your obvious cookie-crumbles! Quite a feat, Fox :) That being said... I've a NF-F12-5V PWM sitting atop my unit, and it's connected via USB. There is no foreseeable torture on this unit, and my temps are extremely low...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Ran into a "Skipping BTF generation [module name] due to unavailability of vmlinux." error. I could not successfully symlink vmlinux, so I just: # cp /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ and I could then follow with... Thank 's for doing the hard work, and sharing...

    https://www.servethehome.com/fanless-intel-n100-firewall-and-virtualization-appliance-review/2/ It's just an h-shaped break-out board (came with the unit) that moves the A+E slot over, and enables another 2280 nvme m.2 (@PCIe3-x1), leaving the main nvme m.2 (@PCIe3-x4) un-blocked.). My...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    I've run the official memtest before. Not used the Prox one No strange shutdowns. Just getting Prox running without pulling my remaining hair out has been the challenge (hardware takes it fine, but I just don't "get" it, yet (let-alone getting things to a point where I can do backups)). I...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Hmm. I am *extremely* new to the Prox Eco (for what that's worth), but if you could give me a rough set of steps-to-recreate, I would be willing (I have the time). I have not seen temps >~42C, but I have a Noctua 12x12 sitting on top. ----CWWK-C; n305; AL-4L-V2; 3TB/48GiB (Crucial...

    https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/cwwk-topton-nxxx-quad-nic-router.39685/post-396847 I have not tried flipping it to 'On', but the premise seems correct (my Unit, set to 'Off", powers-on only when I press the 'On' switch) ;)

    I'm not entirely convinced that the xhci_pci portage is actually hooked-into the PCIe bridge: [root@n305 ~]# sudo lspci -vv | grep -P "[0-9a-f]{2}:[0-9a-f]{2}\.[0-9a-f]|LnkSta:" 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Device 4617 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-N...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    In my case, it only made sense seeing that there is only one RAM slot . . . I took a (personal) bet on the Crucial, and it was accepted by the Unit. USD145 shipped for free to my postal box. As for what one can avail oneself of such memory un-constraints, that is yet to be determined. It's my...

    Yeah; BB reps hem-haw-refused-skirted-around my "recycle" request a few years ago when the 14's were on sale . . . I still nabbed five of 'em because of their seriously low pricing ;)

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    yw Since 2.5GbE (theoretical) max throughput is about 312MB/s, a PCIe2 x1 lane (theoretical max of 500MB/s) is entirely sufficient for such a device. It looks like (I believe) that the CW engineers split two of the nine PCIe3 lanes into four PCIe2 lanes, each of which are designated for the...

    Aye, Man: it never hurts to ask! :) But . . . there's always something new(er)-and-improved just around the corner. As the old proverb goes: "The best time to plant a tree is thirty years ago. The second-best time to plant a tree is today." Go get you some new hardware, and have some fun ;)

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Your guess is as good as mine. I ordered the 305 directly from CWWK (with the expectation that I would receive a 4xUSB2.0 unit), and he/she sent me what I have now.

    CWWK N305 4x2.5GBit - 4x M.2 Expansion Board - How to enable PCIe bifurcation?

    I do not have the 1X x4->4X x1 expansion board, but I did note this setting (see attached) in the bios (AL-4L-V2.0).
