It is real and it arrived and I love it so far. I haven't been able to put it through any tests yet, 1000rpm is tolerable, higher than 1200 rpm it gets noisy, but its moving some air.
-
Well, We will see if it really exists at this point and if it really works. I have never used an external cooler before.
-
I was wondering if there is any motherboard where I can have 1 m.2 slot for the nvme and boot linux and then an additional 4 or 8 m.2 slots for separate laptop BE200 network interface cards to drive 8 or 16 antennas as a high capacity access point? and open source software like pfsense to manage it? If there is, it would be more cost effective than the insane prices manufacturers want for wi-fi 7 routers or access points right now.

I have upgraded the m.2 wi-fi nic's to BE200 cards (Wi-Fi 7) in 4 devices now and they all work with Windows 11 using : Intel(R) Wi-Fi 7 BE200 320MHz. I haven't upgraded my router yet. I am not sure about Linux support for the BE200 (Wi-Fi -7) cards yet.

Right, Dell, HP and Lenovo make tiny / micro PC's. I really like the Lenovo's however my preference is Dell, but it looks like HP offers the most daughter cards for theirs including a 10gig eithernet port. This makes me sad in a way because I don't like HP computers 🙂

I am not sure, I have been ordering Refurbished Lenvo T900's with 16gb ram and the i7 6700T in them for about $170 US, I found some T920's with the i7 8700T for around $300 US. Then I replace the drive that came with them with either a 1 or 2TB nvme and 64gb of ram. I never heard of the Beelink GT, it looks like it is good for what it does, but its not going to have the power and customizability that I want from a straight up pc and Windows is easier for me to work with than Android. Anything newer than an i7 8700T the prices sky rocket to $800-$1000 and I am not looking to pay brand new prices, and to get DDR5, I would need a 13th gen Intel processor.

The last full tower I built had a Q6600 processor in it 🙂 Since then it has all been about portability, meaning, Maxed Alienware Laptops, the Current laptop is a Clevo x170sm-g. I have no reason for a full tower anymore. I also have a couple Dell PowerEdge 2U rack servers for other stuff. Now I am exploring the world of Micro/Mini/ Tiny PC's just because they are so light, easily hidden, can be used a plex, pi-hole, etc other types of servers. I have been using Lenoo M900's with nvme drives and maxed ram at 64gb. But I am looking for more in this form factor. I saw the Minis Forum MS-01 and I really wish there was something in a similar, maybe slightly larger form factor with an Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX Processor, 4 SO-DIMM slots for 128 or 256gb DDR 5 and 4 M.2 NMVe slots with 2 x 2.5gb ports and 2 SFP ports for up to 40gb networking and 2 low profile PCE slots. The Intel T series processors are ok, but I really want an HX series i9
-
Have you seen the videos about the solid state coolers without fans? apparently they are scalable for things as small as smart phones to rack servers.
-
X170sm-g watching youtube
-
Yesterday I called Falcon to look at a DRX laptop,,,, Unfortunately the high end i9 is an HX mobile processor and I was like yeah, nope. I guess I will have to buy a pelican case and build a full tower in it with a car battery to make a new laptop if I want desktop power in a portable form factor.

we can hope for an rtx5080 32gb mxm for clevo right :-D

The 10900KF should be fine with 4k displays? -

😄 Would any of these work and are any of them newer than the rtx3080? I assume game support is limited for quattro cards. https://www.advantech.com/en/products/nvidia-mxm-gpu-cards/sub_08465970-d3a1-44e2-8aa8-7e84eb1cd608 -

Where can I find binned CPU's if I want to try a different 10900K or 10900KF in my X-170?
-
To be completely honest, I never hear them kick on for example, if I am playing Diablo 4 or something and the fans in the X170 kick up, you can hear that , compared to that, I I cannot remember the last time I heard the fans in the power brick kick on. I know they are working because I put my hand behind it and air is flowing. But I am really glad I went that route over 2 power bricks.

I recently have been upgrading my NIC in the laptop from Wi-Fi 6 to 6E and now to BE (Wi-Fi 7). In most laptops there are 2 antennas and they are usually routed through the laptop screen somewhere. What I want to do is split those 2 antennas and have the second line going to ports on the back of the laptop for external antennas like puting a wi-fi card in a desktop with 2 antennas sticking out the back of the card slot in the hopes of getting longer range or distance and faster speeds off the wi-fi with external antennas. I just don't want to disable or cut the internal antenna wires.

I replaced my Intel / Killer Wi-Fi 6 nic with a WiFi 6E card and Windows 10 will not display 6ghz wi-fi networks, but you can enable 6Ghz networks in the adapter settings. It just won't let you choose a 6Ghz network in the wi-fi list (Windows 10) Then I upgraded the NIC to a BE200NGW for 6Ghz (160 and 320 Mhz) and changed to windows 11 and everything shows up and I can connect to 6Ghz networks in Windows 11.
-
When I bought my x170 I got the single 780watt charger, it is a beast its almost like a miniature rack server power supply with fans, etc.
-
I saw a listing on amazon for the IETS GT600 , but its only a listing, nothing for sale yet and their website status hasn't changed at all. It must be vaporware.
-
Well, I tried hacking the registry, apparently you can enable 6Ghz wi-fi through making some registry changes, but the 6Ghz networks won't show up in the list of wi-fi networks. Then I got serious about using NTLite to edit the ISO packages for windows, waited for 23H2 and spend a few hours here and there and after about 4 weeks messing with edited 23H2 ISO's settled on one with all the bloat from windows 11 removed or disabled and installed in on the computer as a fresh install.
-
Installed the BE200NGW and it is working fine...... 160Ghz and 320Ghz Bands
-
Has anyone tried this on their X170sm-g's? I cannot seem to get it to detect the fans and sensors. https://getfancontrol.com/
-
Ok, I am confused the Killer 1650 is what I pulled out of the x170 sm-g and I ordered the BE200NGW and NGW cards fit the x170-sm-g. Did I miss something when ordering the new wi-fi card or will it fit as an "E" key card?

I just got it to work through the browser
-
Trying an ftp client and its not working. Oh well. I guess I can use Fedora, I prefer K.
