Did you test power consumption under load? If so, did the device get hot after being maxed for a long time?
@AmoebaManАй бұрын
I tested it in service but not at full CPU, in service the CPU rarely spikes over 20% other than on start up. I am more concerned with long term power consumption due to energy costs than peak load and cooling. AM
@olokeloАй бұрын
Okay, thanks :)
@olokelo20 күн бұрын
Since I've got mine, I can do an update on that. From my power consumption tests: Idle is around 10W Under full load with turbo: 46W Under full load without turbo: 36W Turbo mode kicks in for like 30 seconds since load starts and then drops the frequency. The CPU power consumption limits can be adjusted in bios and it works very well. The default limits are 35W for turbo and 20W overall. I would recommend anyone planning to use this i3-N305 device for processor demanding tasks getting a fan to pump out the hot air. It really helps I've noted 65°C without and around 50 with fan running under maximum load.

For those that are watching, this hardware is literally way overkill for what it is; and it's going to result in a slightly higher power bill. However, this type of hardware typically can take a single stick of DDR ram ( usually DDR5 ) up to 32G. Internally, most of these have one or two NVME slots, depending upon configuration, and an option to run a single SSD. There is truly not enough room in the case for all of that however. Also be aware that while most models like this can take two NVME drives, one will be running PCIEx3 speeds, and the other is PCIEx1. I believe the drives are limited to 2TB per physical drive; Ram- although Intel says 16G, well, I have 32G in almost every N100 and N305 that I own, and that's more than a few. The only exception is my N100 firewall, which is at 16G ram which uses literally only 8% of the 16G that it has. Many of the limitations are indeed Intel limitations: mainly stemming from the number of limited PCIE lanes on the N100/N305/Alder Lake platforms. Overall this device would be better as a host for a virtual firewall. A N100 by itself would be sufficient for most, and would draw less power. There is a little advantage to having 8 Cores as a virtual host, you could easily delegate 4 cores to the Opnsense firewall, and perhaps dedicate two NIC's to Opnsense. Note that you would end up with faster clock speeds to boot; so technically, you'd still be faster than the N100; mind you that a N100 version typically runs at 0% to 1% utilization for a more normal house experience. At highest, while running a speedtest to maximize traffic, the poor little N100 never gets over 40% utilization even with IDP/IDS running & a VPN running. Personally, I prefer a physical firewall, so I chose the N100 over the N305. Yes, I do have a N305 that is similar to this CWWK version; but it's overkill for my purposes for a firewall. However, one can configure Opnsense in a number of ways, so maybe the N305 is not as much overkill if configuring many options on it. Reality is this N305 is a better virtualization host, especially with 2TB disk and 32G ram that it can be equipped with. Note on the hardware. Being fanless, the internals get warmer than a fan based unit. There is a fan header inside, but it's a very small header, and you'd have to contact the manufacturer for the correct header cable, or make your own. The NVME is the main painpoint- as it will get very warm. The best orientation is to mount it vertically with a gap on a wall or rack. Putting more than one drive in this unit is just going to exacerbate heat issues. Use a good heatsink on the NVME if you run such a unit without a fan. Don't plan on using a second drive in this type of unit. Now, would I say that the N305 is a waste - if the speeds get significantly higher than 1 Gbps ? I don't know. The N100 at 1Gbps works well. I can certainly understand someone with the "buy once, cry once" mentality; I often take this stance !!! Nothing wrong with that tact. I considered virtualizing the firewall, but for some things like the firewall, I just prefer a dedicated unit.

so if you plug in a microphone, you select LINE? my interface (as well as most other interfaces) has a MIC and LINE switch. the INST is a different input. LINE level is not the same as MIC PREAMP level.
@AmoebaMan3 ай бұрын
Hi, yes, I would select LINE for a microphone, on the 204HD Inputs 1 and 2 are both designated MIC / Line so you can plug either microphones or instruments using either XLR or 1/4" connectors. There is a LINE / INST selector for each input which designates line level or instrument level input source. If you need phantom power (48V) for your microphones then there is a switch on the back and I also show an adapter in the video which i sometimes use to allow me to plug in a PC condenser mike which coincidentally also requires 48V to use.

Hi, TPM not a major consideration for me, secure boot, encryption etc. I don’t see any reference to it in the WebUI, of course the CPU supports and I guess it might be important to others using virtualisation?

No, did not find a fix. Yes, I agree that this seriously makes one think of what goodies could be on this board to make things less secure than one thinks. Another thing I found was that their latest available firmware us running very old ME microcode. I really think these should go through more security diligence before we pitch them as something to use for securing people's networks. IOPS and MPPS throughput are not all that an influential reviewer should measure when enthusiastically positioning a product.

If you want something in the 10 watt range, an intel board isn't gonna cut it. AMD is the king of power and if ur gonna be running a glorified mini-pc with too many ethernet ports then you should really be running proxmox and putting the 98% of unused cpu power to work doing something.
@AmoebaMan5 ай бұрын
I understand your point, its certainly over the top, but as I explain in the video the cpu load will increase significantly with future changes to my connection and VPN. If I shave 2W off the power consumption it will only save me about £5/year in electricity so I made the judgement that I would rather have the extra power! AM
@MrPir84free2 ай бұрын
@@AmoebaMan Thank you. Using common sense nowadays is not all that common. IF I have a machine that draws 20 Watts typically, and I can manage to cut it down to say half - or 10 Watts, how much would I save ? It should always be a question worth answering; Same thing for saving 5W or whatever. Electricity here is cheap at about 10 cents per KWh. I realize you're in the UK with a higher cost; say 48 cents. To some degree, the lower electrical rate encourages recycle and re-use, whereas higher rates encourage choosing something energy efficient at the cost of tossing more power hungry devices into the recycle bin or landfill. I'm glad you took the time to figure out the true cost savings; most don't.. On a personal note, I'd never even look at 2W as that's literally less than $2 a year. I'd save more by turning off a light in a room that is not needed, or switching to smaller monitors, etc. BTW: My similar N100 firewall draws about 10 to 12 watts. I was using a RK3588 ARM for a while, and that draws about 1/2 using OpenWRT. I do think that Opnsense gets more updates, and is a better overall choice.

Sure, you just need a device which can run server software and choose a compatible front end device. I have also tried servers running under docker on NAS and other low power devices. The reason I use a PC is that the user experience is better, more powerful servers tend to be more responsive - careful selection of equipment can also help reduce the power requirements. My server sleeps and wakes itself if it is not being used or recording, this can also reduce consumptiojn. AM
