Thats great man! And yeah that really was fast. so the Bermuda Triangle was obviously avoided by them with grace I suppose. Sub 40W is still acceptable. Can you check idle temps and consumption? And maybe also benchmark it a few times in a row to check scores and if it will throttle. Also, maybe check the CPU info for "ES" chip. When you say the chassis was,do you mean you used a thermal camera? What was the CPU core temps?I got the 8505 unit from cwwk today which was the fastest delivery of the 4 units I now have (~10 days from order to door). BIOS is pretty sparse compared to the other 3 - I think it was dated 02/07/2023. Haven't had time to play with it yet other than to slap 64GB of RAM into it, a Crucial NVME drive, and start up memtest86+ on it. After an hour and a half of memtest86+ (all-core), the chassis was 60C (140F) which, to me, was definitely uncomfortable to touch. It comes with a Daijing 96W power brick which I will likely keep using. One of the other units I have came with a Daijing and it was the most efficient of the three. Draw during memtest86+ was 36-38W.
No issues with either small or smallest fft size - let it run for about 2 hours. Unfortunately the OCZ-RD400 drive that I had an old copy of Windows 10 on with all of my tools appears to have bit the dust while I was running the test. Given the drive was from 2016, which makes it almost 7 years old, I'm not going to put the blame on the 8505 unit. I'll have to start over with a new drive. I have Crucial, Teamgroup, and Hynix drives handy so it's not really an issue - just bad timing.Can you do a test for me? Run prime95 with the smallest fft size and see if it crashes?
Thanks! So my 1235U version crashed when I ran that. I've now diagnosed it to the junk power supply they ship with it. It couldn't handle the initial rush of current when the test started. Replacing it with a GlobTek 90W power supply has solved that issue. Based on the weight comparison of the included PS and the GlobTek, there's no way I would trust running the included PS 24/7. My guess is it has very little if any safety design in it.No issues with either small or smallest fft size - let it run for about 2 hours.
Your BIOS has the same bug as mine, which means you can't use HWP. I have this fixed in my BIOS now, though. I'll demonstrate it when I post my review of the 1235U box.SST is greyed out according to hwinfo64.
Interesting. This is probably why you don't get the crash. The 1235U will spike over 55W no problem on initial startup and then is limited to the PL2 at 55W. I wonder if PL2 is set lower in the 8505 version?The power meter did spike to 50.1W at one point while Windows was upgrading since I haven't plugged that drive in for a while, but that's the highest I measured and I can't seem to reproduce that with prime95.
Seriously?! Mine only has 1 NVME and 1 Wifi NVME. I wish mine had 2 NVME instead.There are 2 NVME slots.
This listing shows a PCB adapter board to use the WiFi NVMe port as another storage slot as an included accessory. My 1215U didn't come with it. Try contacting your seller to see if the'll send one out to you.Seriously?! Mine only has 1 NVME and 1 Wifi NVME. I wish mine had 2 NVME instead.
Thanks! I'm not very familiar with these NVME form factors. From this listing, I can see the second NVME is just a 1 lane slot with a different form factor. The 1 lane is not going to be very fast, unfortunately.This listing shows a PCB adapter board to use the WiFi NVMe port as another storage slot as an included accessory. My 1215U didn't come with it.

Just FYI, via the adapter, I'm getting a bit over 800MB/sec sequential to the PCIe 3.0 x1 slot so while it might not be the 3500MB/sec the drive itself is capable of, it far exceeds the needs of the device. A backup of a pfsense guest on Proxmox ran at about 310MB/sec with lz4 compression on ZFS and that's really about the most IO intensive thing this device will ever do (for me). I haven't migrated the SK Hynix P31 drive to the other NVME slot yet - it's on my todo list. I believe that one is PCIe 3.0 x4 so it should get the full bandwidth of the drive.Thanks!
