Amazon brought a gift today, the Mini-PCIE to PCIE adapter.
Now I did some work on my audiophile streamer ...
Relax, I need some information first, just the basic specs, can you show me ...
low power 35W TDP high performance dual core hyperthreading cpu
4GB memory
built in Blue Ray / DVD drive
SSD for booting / Streaming, can stream from network drive or NAS
Gigabit ethernet
high quality audio with 192 kHz Burr Brow DAC, gold plated cinch jacks, 124 db SNR, shielded DAC / Audio out section
external power supply
completely fanless design using heat pipes.
It works, mate.
just tested it after swapping out the old power hungry cpu for a 30W less TDP ...
Here's a photo.
Next: plug it into the wall and check the true power consumption.
It should easily be possible to downsize the external PSU.
Currently: ambient room temperature: 27 degrees.
CPU temp: 36. I think that is excellent.
