Wow, it is really good.
My unit consume around 10W and temperature ~40C.
Really big difference for both temperature and power consumption.
Could you share picture of case. The temperatures are really low so I'm wondering how it's possible. Do you have any fan attached?

it is literally just sitting on my work bench with no fan.

So my CPU is still caped at 800MHz, I dont know what settings in BIOS i need to play around with to get CPU frequency fully unlocked.
can anyone please share their BIOS settings or point me to the right direction.
I followed this guide for BIOS settings and power tuning. TOPTON N5095/N5105/N100 opnsense & proxmox powersave tuning - windgate

I just received my system today, bought from Topton on AliEx. BKHD-1264NP-12-4L version 1.1 - exactly the same "tall fins version" as the system at the link previously posted here: N100 2.5G nano itx
Unfortunately the system is bricked - no display, no beeps, no boot (tried with Proxmox installer, GParted Live, UEFI shell bootable USB) - all the USB sticks boot on my other Topton i5-1235U system.
A programmer is on the way and I've written to Topton to see if they can send a copy of the original bios. I haven't noticed anyone else talking about v1.1, so I'm hesitant to try any of the files posted here. Anyone know of a version that's supposed to work with this specific revision?

Still waiting for Topton to reply again - looks like they only reply once per day. (UPDATE: July 26 2024: write to BKHD directly via their web site if you have issues - Topton don't seem to be of much use, being just a reseller)
In the meantime, received the programmer and I have the board up with a display and posting. Had to use a BIOS I knew wasn't correct (from CWWK), so NVME isn't recognized right now. Tried one of the posted 1.4 and 1.5 files from the thread and those wouldn't show a display or post/boot.
At least now, until I get a no-boot again, I can flash from the EFI shell.

been running this board v1.2 and bios v1.4 with OPNsense for months without issue but temp is very high
any recommendation ?
Code:
root@OPNsense:~ # sysctl -a | grep temperature
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 27.9C
dev.cpu.3.temperature: 77.0C
dev.cpu.2.temperature: 76.0C
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 75.0C
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 75.0CPut a 120 or 140mm fan on top of the case, blowing down.
My system is back up and working as expected, thanks to a firmware provided by BKHD directly. With a fan on top I can keep the CPU under 40

There were a bunch of the older units (from cwwk at least) discussed in the forum where the cpu and case were too far apart and had a big blob of cheap thermal paste trying to bridge the gap.
Some people add a copper shim (with thin paste both sides). A couple of people filed a tiny amount off of the standoffs to move the cpu and board closer to the case.
If you search for "cpu shim" or "cpu gap" you should find the discussions and feedback.
what i forgot to say is about my system is also almost idle <5% load
anyway, i have putted an older 2x50 fan usb on top of them and temp is 20° down
i have already removed the copper which fill the gap from case and cpu (mine is in alluminium) and replaced the thermal paste
not sure if a better copper should help as the shield is very hot and almost impossibile to touch
I guess something is wrong on my board (bios?) or the fan less system is just not enough
now is ugly but temp is much better
thanks all

is anyone can give me a link for a bios for BK-1264NP-4L-45G24010567
i've bricked the device by flashing bios posted early in this thread
will try to recover with spi programmer
thanks
EDIT: not bricked, you need to wait for near 5 minutes with black screen for system to POST after flashing :-/

I still don't know what the system does nor where it stores additional information when this happens, but once it's done, the system seems to work normally on future reboots and cold boots. Very fast actually, some distros take only about 10 seconds to boot. If it's on the correct firmware of course.
