CWWK AMD RYZEN R5-5600U 4 port I226-V Routing Mini Host

[dahrens1]

Has anyone purchased the CWWK mini router box showing on their direct web site? They have 3 versions with R5-5600U being probably the lowest power version. Box has 4 Intel i226-v ports and dual channel DDR4 3200 with up to 64GB, fan for CPU, all aluminum chassis, 3x M.2 NVMe. Looks like a good candidate for PfSense or OPNSense application.

AMD Ryzen R5-5600U/R7-5800U/R7-5825U Low-power 8-core 16-thread Soft Routing Mini Host/I226-V/Aluminum Case

Thanks
Dave

Bought the R7-5800U on aliexpress last year, received the 5825U version (Topton official Store)

Patrick did a video about that box last year:

Did a benchmark when i received my unit: ChangWang CW56-58 - Geekbench

For just a firewall it may be way to overpowered IMHO

Depending on what you are doing on that box maybe a N100 machine is also fine?

CWWK R5-5600U (4x2,5 GBe) is 328 USD
CWWK N100 (4x2,5 GBe) is 209 USD
CWWK N100 X85-P5 (2x2,5 GBe) is 150 USD

Just purchased two X85-P5 machines as firewall replacement at my sites.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, I purchased the CWWK's 5825U as well.
Did you swap the power brick for something more reliable?
I would like to change the provided one, but can't figure what to look for.
Thanks in advance
