Building a testbed small IoT / PLC interface computer

I finally got the motherboard in. quite a cute but feature packed thing. I’ve also never seen so many bios options. pretty much all chipset features can be changed and even stuff like every memory timing can be set.

After building i have come accross some issues. The case won’t close because the front panel gets into the cpu cooler. and also the 2,5inch ssd interferes. I think i’ll modify the top plate for the cpu cooler.

I’ve also done some testing, performance is quite good even if the cpu is limited at 65W (no short term boost, i’s powered by a 19v adapter so…). Cinebench was around 1800 single and 11000 multi and the temperatures are max 70 degrees C.
In idle windows 10 i get a min power usage of 16W.
in an empty/idle proxmox it is about 20W.
