Hello gals and guys, and thank you for the update on the copper thickness
@Drev !
My Aliexpress order from Topton came after 11 days (from China to Germany, no added costs to toll/import taxes, and with it came a lot of import papers). The N200 gets around 6700~6800 CPU points with the test from
Passmark (the 5254 number is way lower than my test) at the PL1 20/ PL2 25 Watts
default setting from the BIOS. Tested with linux command line under ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS, all cores up to 3.7GHz. Single (only one slot) channel DDR5 4800 CL34 (see screenshot). I did not change the thermal paste yet, because from the first look at things just the CPU die is (correctly) pasted to the copper block on my case.
Weirdly governor to Powersave and ballanced power settings are higher than on performance and high power:
But I have an issue connecting my monitors to the HDMI port. Connecting my Phillips only brings up 5 error beeps from the BIOS without boot. My LG works, sometimes at least, and boots up, but even a command line reboot "crashes" my monitor (yes, it seems that is possible, no buttons / monitor menu works in this state, just a black screen, not even the status LED works any more) and I have to unplug it from power and reconnect it again for it to work. I haven't tested it yet with my third monitor, also a slightly bigger HDMI LG. But I think something is not completely right between the BIOS and the HDMI. Today my LG monitor, which worked yesterday, brought up 5 BIOS error beeps as well. I unplugged and replugged HDMI and power from the monitor, after that it worked. I also could hotplug the Phillips monitor on to the mini-PC afterwards. Very strange.
I also will test it later with an DP to HDMI adapter (if I can find it again). Maybe that solves the issues. ** Did not find the adapter, bought a new one.
*** Trying different cables now
**** Temps while benchmark 30°-79° C (on 17° C ambient), so I probably *should* change the heat-transfer paste (ordered a couple of days ago, waiting for arrival)
