So my Dell HBA355e (Broadcom 9500-16e equivalent) was running at 72-75c with nothing attached to it. As a test I added a Noctua 5V 80mm fan on top of the case, blowing down through the holes. The card is now sitting at around 43c. So despite being ugly I guess that's a viable way to cool some cards.

i'm still looking for some options to get an ssd running in that wifi slot
i contacted the people that sell that 512gb ssd version but i find it a bit small, and also they're asking like $200 equivalent for it (with transport, vat etc) which i find a bit unreasonable, as i got some 4TB lexar drives for around $280 each
looking a bit over aliexpress i found these types of connectors (referring to the one called N2AB, looks to be the third option), which seem to plug in the a/e key slot, with an m-key on the other side? i'm thinking they could be routed to where the U.2 drive should be placed. anyone have any experience with these type of things?

This is my observation too, albeit with AMD Radeon RX 6400 Low Profile Graphics Card, which has fan on it.
Because of confined space, airflow near PCI slot is really low and heat starts to build up. Ended up returning the GPU, will like with iGPU and use the PCI slot to put NVME SSD instead.
This has always been a problem for me with intel vpro and running a dhcp server (proxmox/pfsense). It's never been possible, it's not isolated to this PC. Intel NUC's have the same problem.
I'm currently using that adapter as a dedicated OOBM port.
I'm a little confused by what your experiencing but I'm curious so that I know it's something to avoid in the future. Do you mean you cannot run a DHCP server that is serving IP addresses out of that port? If so what happens when you do so?
So last little project for the MS-01.

Nice to see a list of graphics cards which they've tested to work long-term in such a tiny PC: "NVIDIA T1000, Radeon Pro WX3200, Intel Arc A40".
Has anyone tested 4TB sticks? I'm hoping to run 8TB on board, and 8TB in a PCI card.

Damn, i cannot passthrough a Radeon 6400 that i bought in esxi. I get the exact same problem as the onboard igpu which is the famous Error 43 in windows. I did put back an Nvidia 730 that works fine but it has a big heatsink so the box is without the case atm.
Guys i use MeshCommander for KVM on the box but i dont get any sensor info of temperatures etc. Anyone got this information somehow? or vPro doesnt give this information?

So let me get this straight, in order to access vPro, i226-LM should be connected to the DHCP router and enabled in BIOS? Anything else?
Is there any tool like MeshCommander or MeshCentral equivalent for Ubuntu?

From what I know you should Be able to use it in ubuntu.
It’s nodejs.
i use it on my mac and as docker on another server
