you don't remove it, and yes, intel stock cooler fits perfectly, I'm using one on a n305, so you will need to check it makes contact with the copper plate tho, some have reported the need for 0.5 mm thermal pad for proper contact.

Is there something better about these N100/N305 boards than this equivalent AMD platform? Same number of SATA ports, cheaper cost, same 15w TDP, but the Ryzen 5825U CPU would destroy Intel’s N305.

For reference:
for real time transcoding QS is just faster, and also less power usage ( it can also do multiple transcodes at the same time, we are talking like 20-30+ depending on resolution )
Depends on what you want from the server, for a plex/jelly/nas n305 would be better, if you don't need to transcode, ryzen would provide more raw power

Does anybody managed control fans speed in Unraid using Fan Auto Control plugin? For me plugin can't find any pwm controllers (bios setting for fan speed set as "software")
Yes, install ITE IT87 Driver Plugin and you can choose between the fanslots. I personally let the CPU fan on "auto" and my HDDs fans controlled by temperature of the drives.
I see pwm3 and pwm2 controller. How to check which one is from cpu and which from case?
Thanks. Too bad it can't get lower. I'd be curious if the n305 is any different.20W is all what I get on purple n100 board (5 drives spin down, c8 state)
With the N305 I have 18,7W with 4 disks spun down and 2nvme as cache raid. but I can't reach c8 somehow.(altough I have the above mentioned settings) it is always stuck at c6. i have the be quiet system power s9 400W PSU. maybe the rm550x or a picoPSU may help to reduce it a little further. but I fear we won't see sub 10W..
for reference, with nothing connected I got 14.5W.
Curious what @MiauLightouch has as final power consumption
