Fanless configuration in a Streacom F1C case ( unfortunately no longer sold by LDLC ).
Runs smoothly with 64GB of RAM ( G.Skill RipJaws Series F4-3200C22D-64GRS )
Powered by a 12V picoPSU-80.
Used with 8GB RAM for a NAS DIY with TrueNAS. The performance is very satisfactory for a low power consumption.
Great little card with an amazing assembly processor, works perfectly for my NAS use!
Running TrueNAS Core with: qBittorrent, Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Plex and Tautulli as well as all the useful services: SMB, OpenVPN, DLNA and a few other things the processor can handle Plex transcoding of a real 4k video file (~80Mbps) which is more than amazing, must surely be even better with physical transcoding thanks to the not ridiculous graphics part.
The processor limit of 8GB of RAM is increased by the motherboard chipset, ASRock have certified it to 32GB so 2x16GB just avoid high frequencies and bars with little physical module at the risk of incompatibility.
The M.2 2230 port can be used for a specific SSD (type Toshiba/Kioxia, same brand) or a card with a SATA chipset equipped with 2 6Gbps ports.
It's a great motherboard/processor for a little bit of everything, but considering the power consumption and performance it's perfect for a low power NAS or for media center, office PCs, etc. (I'm looking forward to the next people :p)
I bought this product as a replacement for a failed card of this format on an old pc.
I am satisfied with the purchase of this product
