Could you elaborate on clock requirement and where exactly does it fit to bigger picture as it related to PCI bus? My understanding is PCIe root complex deliver 100MHz synchronous clock to the end-point, which is NVME is this case. Not really sure what sets the Samsung EVO 970/980 apart from other NVMEs.

I'll grab the bios settings later tonight, I still need to change a few more settings in mine too. I think it's in either the cpu configuration or the turbo area. By default the value is greyed and at 20 in my case (base freq 20x100 = 2GHz)

MEAN WELL Switching Power Supply Manufacturer
MEAN WELL offers a comprehensive power solution with our versatile series of power supplies. You can use this product overview tool to find product information and datasheet of all MEAN WELL products, such as RS, LRS, UHP series for industrial application, HLG, ELG, XLG, HVGC series for LED...
The LRS series seems to be a good price-performance compromise. No PFC, but 88% efficiency and good regulation.
I can find the LRS-100-12 on Amazon at 16€ which is a fairly honest price I believe.
The step above would have been the RSP and HRP series, but we're talking 40-50€ for a 100w unit.
19V/7.9A - is this the rating of the power supply or the actual power consumption (measured) while running, and if measured during runtime, idle or at 100% usage?
Another option, especially if you plan to only connect a single devive: https://www.meanwell-web.com/content/files/pdfs/productPdfs/MW/GST90A/GST90A-spec.pdf - (89% efficiency)Power supplies:

What you also can do is to order one of those boxes here, remove the plug from the power supply, attach it to the box and then use some thick cables and matching connectors to run multiple machines on the same power supply. Yes, you risk to shut down all of them if the ps fails, but you save yourself from haveing multple power supplies running in the range of below 10W power range whre the efficiency is lower than above. I am using such a gsta90a to supply 12 V to a firewall/router (a J3160 box), a NAS (Q1900 asrock) and ethernet switch.
wow this thing is kawaii really like this, bummer for the price.. 2x 2.5g is perfect for just a firewall and the form factor is good.
Well. Topton shipped my Box, but the Aramex tracking number still showing no data since yesterday. so i guess they just used a fake tracking number to avoid aliexpress to cancel the order as there was only one day remaining for auto refund...i guess if no updates till tomorrow i will contact aliexpress support.
Sorry, I only know what has been discussed here... To the effect that the N5105 CPU only has 5 clock sources and 4 are used by the NICs so that leaves one for the PCIe. I assume the 6 NIC version already has a second clock source.
The v5 of the board includes a AU5426 to provide additional clock sources for the PCIe bus.
I don't really know much more than that. It's been a long time since I used to work in low level hardware and never on intel.
I've published my 3d model for the 140mm cooling hat for the v4 if anyone wants to use it

Ey everybody,
So decided to order one of these boxes, trying to get the i226 models based on the recommendations from the latest STH video.
Was wondering if I should choose the "Model-A" version here or the "Model-B" version (Patrick recommended the B model apparently because it's a larger chassis)?
Or should I go cheaper with the "model-C" version that's less chassis, but has holes on the side? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004658201823.html

Outta curiosity, can anyone explain the big differences between Ryzen 5825U and 5800U ?!? They are so close together - and I've been tempted to get possibly a 5800U unit instead (a bit cheaper) - performance seems to be equivalent as is Max TDP of 15W:
I believe reading somewhere that the 5825U can be pushed to 25W, which otherwise would be defaulted to 15W in BIOS. So more like overclocking to squeeze extra performance. I would stick with 5800U.
I just did the same this morning after telling myself that everything is perfect with my current three V4 N5105's. That price to Passmark score is just so impressive that I had to find out for myself since the STH guys have not got to review theirs yet.

Well, I just ordered one of those model-C versions a few hours ago. My application is bare metal router, so minimal CPU torture, but I got that one because I'm curious how the thermals compare to the beefier cousins. If you can wait a week (ha ha, more like a month!) until I get mine, I'll report back.
I was thinking about doing some crude efficiency testing on the N5105's with some extra 30 & 65w GaN PD chargers that I have lying around as some boast up to 95% efficiency and are super easy on the budget. I ordered some 65w PD to 12v and 20v 5.5x2.5mm emulators since I now have a 5600U based unit on the way as well LOL. I am curious as to what I will find.
The 5800U can also be pushed to 25W. The 5825U has just a little bit more clock
The 5825U scores well above the 5800u (this ad image score is inverted according to the CWWK)
Even the 5825U is capable of reaching 35w (configured via BIOS)
I got the model C V4 5105 a few weeks back and repasted and shaved down the standoffs. Running bare metal OPNSense and get around 40'C idle with low 60'Cs under load. Definitely not a bad little unit.
