thanks a lot, ned to configure everything with truenas.Amazing research and good work! I'm thinking about buying this motherboard but tell me how the power consumption looks on your settings?

I think the power draw at "off" is due to the Intel Management Engine still being powered up, which also keeps the network ports active as you see. This is by design in order to allow remote management, however I think due to poor design it draws more power than it should.As long as I don't re-enter the BIOS, the settings remain unchanged.
I've noticed that when I shut down the PC, it still consumes 2 watts, and the LAN port continues to blink. A proper shutdown should look different. I also want to minimize the power consumption of the iGPU as much as possible without disabling it—just configuring it to be as energy-efficient as possible. Let's see what's achievable in that regard.
I don't think these types of boards from China get much testing, and hardly ever get new BIOS's.What I also found out is that kernel 6.11+ alone is not enough for Powertop Autotune to function on the Intel 226v.
ACPI D3Cold Support must be disabled in the BIOS; otherwise, you cannot use Powertop on the Intel 226v.
The BIOS is really weird and crazy. The PC even starts as soon as it gets power, and Restore AC Power Loss is set to Power Off. So that doesn't work either.
These boards are really not for beginners who want everything simple and fast—you're going to have to invest time to get them running. The boards aren’t bad, but you can tell there isn’t much love put into these products.
Intel ME is seen as a security risk in any sort of router/firewall application, and its had a few vulnerabilities over the years. Protectli for example have modified their firmware to allow it to be disabled.@phil-2024
It's not important to me right now since the PC will run as a server 24/7 anyway. Still, it can't be configured, which I don't like—just like with Restore AC Power Loss. I don't need it, but it's not good that it doesn't work.
I don't think these boards work with SATA SSDs that utilise the M.2 connector, they will only work with SATA via the traditional SATA ports. Some boards will work and support SATA via M.2, but a lot of these direct from China boards don't.Hi guys
I just got a CWWK CW-ADLN-NAS board with 6 SATA ports, 2 M.2 slots and 4 network connectors.
The issue is that I cannot get it to detect a known working M.2 Transcend 128Gb SATA SSD. I tried to change different BIOS settings with no success.
Also, cannot access the CWWK BIOS download page to try and update it. I get a "failed to list objs: AccountProblem" error.
Thanks for any help you can offer
I have the purple N305 board with the Noctua NH-L9i ... It's overkill for sure, but I had it laying around. The boards should be identical. Check the copper heatsink, if it touches die CPU die ... Few people including me had issues with large gaps. I personally used thermal pads (around 20C difference).I just ordered the purple CW-NAS-ADLN-K N150 version. Has anyone tried a Noctua NH-L9i with it? I haven't decided on a cooler but would like a quite one. Or would a stock Intel cooler suffice?
