If anyone has any questions or inputs etc. related to the product or its price, feel free to let me know either here or via pm.

Please post the temps if possible.

And after sales service? This is not something that we would replace that easily. I have the Helios4 (2 working + 1 dead) and know how much of issues are there with ASSC.

Sure, I will get that to you by EOD or early tomorrow.
I will be providing after-sales service and support - If the device dies within its warranty period you will get a replacement unit.

Please post the temps if possible.

Currently, the 2 units I have in stock are only under a 90-day warranty, but I am planning to import 100+ qty in the coming month and get a 1-year warranty from the vendor as standard.

Sorry about the delay stuck with work. I was able to test the N100 unit for the past 1.5 hours below are its results:
Idle temp - No AC - inside a rack - after 30 minutes of running and updates


Starting Geekbench - temps on the right



Starting - Multicore tests


Finished


GeekBench results: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/5830818
Results are in its low-powered mode in performance mode results should be higher.

Tests for the R7 5700U to follow soon
BenchMark and temps for R7 5700U

Idle temp - No AC - inside a rack - after 30 minutes no apps running



Start of Geekbench - Single core


Start of Geekbench - Multi-core



End




Results: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/5832033

The R7 5700U did fairly better, better score and much better thermals, just note that on both tests I had 1 x 10TB HDD installed in the slot which covers both RAM and SSDs. the other slot which covers the CPU fan was empty, just because I didn't have any drives to put in there.


Pricing update - I have received fresh pricing on these systems and they are going to be cheaper to procure in the next batch and also cheaper if I choose sea freight over air freight which saves Rs. 2000 per system, I have updated the pricing above to reflect this new rates, I am going to bear the difference on the current imported units if anyone wants to purchase them.

Sorry to be a bother, but can you also post temps with 2 HDDs - preferably WD Red equivalent HDDs along with the HDD temps as well.

Sorry for the delay, here you go...

Again the below testing is for 15 minutes, with Furmark CPU Burner running. and 2 HDDs installed and 1 NVME SSD, non-A/C environment.
NVME Temp range is 0-70C

Weird question, but what are the board's dimensions? The pro version looks promising, and I was wondering if I could fit the pro's board inside my custom-built 10" inch rack.

I believe its 3.5inch SBC exact dimensions are 5.75 in x 4 in

 

[rahuljawale]

Paid for R7 pro.

 

[vivek.krishnan]

Taken the N100 model, payment will be done by Wednesday or earlier.

Might be put for sale in the next 3 months, as this was taken for testing.

For anyone interested, this exposes 2 PCIE-1X lanes at the bottom, one is connected to the 2 SATA backplane.

Me and aasim are trying to check if this can be used to add a 4 port NIC to make this an all in one box using female2female PCIE 1x connectors.
