Been trying to use this with Fedora 41 for a few days and I keep getting crashes within 10 minutes. I keep hearing word that a parallel product Asrock made, the N100M has similar crashing related to memory issues. Is anyone encountering a similar issue?

아.. 아답타를 쓰면 GPU 파워 연결이 ...
@brumm3653 Says:
The major drawback (for me) in this board is the lack of DVI video port which was found in earlier ASRock ITX mainboards (like J5040-ITX or J3455-ITX or Q1900-ITX). I normally use two monitors and here we have only one *digital* video output (HDMI). I wish they included a DVI or DisplayPort connector as well.
@SourojitBh Says:
This is awesome!
@Sajgoniarz Says:
Pretty disappointing for a NAS. Only one RJ45 port, not even 2,5Gb and only 2 SATA.
@MrMesospheric Says:
The video and its associated videos, together with the latest moronic MS developments, that finally pushed me 100% over to Linux. Years of practice with Linux now means I am entirely comfortable, helped by these videos, with dumping MS for good. Thanks Chris; the very definition of useful, reliable YT content.
@HeavenSevenWorld Says:
I wonder what you would say if you discovered Mac Mini M4-based one day – ultra-small, four times faster per core, probably eight times faster in general, inexpensive and totally silent as well ;)
@RockyRacoon-lw3yd Says:
Could this setup run Blue Iris?
@JazzTechie Says:
I think that particular N100 motherboard beats that rockchip board due to its pcie slots, ability to run a discrete GPU, and x86 compatibility with GPU drivers.
@si4632 Says:
Putting any type of linux on it should be a criminal offence
@leonidd00 Says:
very interesting. I had an idea to do the same couple of months ago, but I was 10 years away from the pc topics and bought at the end a laptop, but I love the idea of silent and fast small pc with linux for dayli usage. Thanks for the video!
@stefanp4258 Says:
I saw an N95 mini-pc on amazon, with windows 11, for about 149€. It has also SSD and RAM included, and a 12V power supply, and HDMI cable.
@2010Edgars Says:
Stupid asrock engineers with this vga and ps/2 connectors. WHY?????
@doomer37 Says:
I still use a Celeron J4005, would you say the N100 is worth the upgrade?
@RWLN508D Says:
maybe you can try to run Office 2002/XP under wine 🍷
@AlanBram Says:
If the N100 is normally limited to 16GB RAM, as you say, how/why is it that here we can fit 32GB?
@danielpicassomunoz2752 Says:
Looks nice for a home server, with enough ram, many containers
@rypin Says:
all link for those component plz i mean for increase good legal but not low chinese budget component
@briankleinschmidt3664 Says:
I was curious about the temps. How is the passive cooling doing?
@HaydonRyan Says:
Love silent computers!
@DAVIDGREGORYKERR Says:
You will need the Noctua Cooling Fan to prevent the unit from crashing.
@DAVIDGREGORYKERR Says:
Or a POS (Point Of Sale) unit that fits on the back of a Monitor and accepts a receipt printer, Barcode Scanner and Bankcard reader and requires the OS and POS software.
@Salemej Says:
Never open a package with a knife towards you, I learnt that the hard way.
@Salemej Says:
I honestly would like to know why PS/2 still exists. Who does actually use it nowadays and what for?
@RiadAhmed-ce6qo Says:
why they can not made a slide through motherboard for laptop like caddy.
@KrissyD-px9gj Says:
Its a shame none of these n100 options are available in Canada
@mikecp7394 Says:
Hi can this run 32bit scanner canon d646 that i adore with xp window amulator. Thanks,
@therealjackfisher Says:
Looks cute. Looking at the test, Linux mint, docs and stuff like that, make me doub about the performance/cost rating. These small computers should be more affordable, as they are mostly DIY small home hobby projects and not some big enterprise solutions. Anyways I found something very interesting. Something for enthusiast and something that will save some serious money. When I compare it to stuff bought from store shelf I have no doub that this is actually a win win project in every way. I found Bananna BPI R-4 router board. There is also alu case for it and antennas I think come seperately. This might be the best home router on the planet. A router so cool it changes the way I see routers, and its cheaper then all of the "hi end" gaming routers but at the same time much better. Now, I am not trying to advertise, just sharing some cool ideas for enthusiasts, so we can build something that is actually better and cheaper at the same time.
@TornTech1 Says:
whats going on with that super wonky component on the left hand side behind the Serial Port with 1.05 written on it... look like it didn't solder properly!? visible @5:31
@hankhulator5007 Says:
Hi Christopher, seeking for some NVMe for some M.2 NanoPC-T6 computers, I stumbled upon the Transcend 220S series (Gen3 - CAUTION : this is only valid for M.2 NVMe), they do not pulverize speed tests, however their TBW is awesome : 2200 TBW per TB with a 5 years warranty - my £0.015966906
@LiLBitsDK Says:
What version of office is that, that you run on this cute little machine? and how have it been treating you for the last 4 months?
@kalfaxplays7899 Says:
very good video. very informative :) subscribed.
@robertj1138 Says:
I really like this project as it matches with a similar idea i had for building switching over my NAS. I probably would have put a fan in there because I am paranoid, but it is nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
@si4632 Says:
It will work with a 12v brick
@viktorszabo4467 Says:
Well i think the PSU is bad choice! Its better when you use a bronze typ normal silent PSU, (Seasonic Power supply ATX24 350W/80+ Bronze/) the power consumption will lower -10W or less, and you didnt hear anything!
@danielq250 Says:
Hi Christopher, how do you install the win 98 install you have on this and Word also? Do you have a video on these ? Where can i get the files etc ? Many thanks 😊
@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse Says:
Nice little system and totally silent too.
@protocetid Says:
Is there a reason no YouTuber covers SBCs with new Atom chips? There are some ultra low power Atoms out there that make me curious about how they would perform in a small and cheap handheld PC. I don't know enough about computers to determine performance just by looking at the specs.
@LucS0042 Says:
PS2 port, parallel port headers, serial port, VGA port.... Feels like a blast from the past.... But with a modern cpu. Great video!
@hananas2 Says:
I personally do have a weak spot for passively cooled PCs, I find it very unfortunate that my graphics card has coil whine which means I can't use it passively cooled because due to the power consumption I'd have to keep it in an open air bench if I'm not using fans.
@DeltaDudeBasje Says:
Can someone recommend a similar pc case like in the video? I need one with an external drive bay i it. Most of the smaller pc cases don't have anything in the front...
@PVZBlover Says:
I'm dreaming of building a low energy silent gaming pc using a velka 3 mini itx case
@Kennephone Says:
I love that case, I wish more modern cases had 5.25'' drive bays, even if you're not gonna put an optical drive, they're handy for hot swap sata bays or additional front usb.
@PaulGs-Stuff Says:
I am new to video creation and was looking at your Ryzen 5 build, which is great. However I need a smaller form factor so wondered how far you can push a ITX format case as far as processor GPU and heat dissipation is concerned. I am not so familiar with motherboard formats so not sure what to do as far as small as possible but decent video editing performance is concerned. The alternative is to buy a laptop I guess with a GPU but these are very expensive
@RidwaanNazmulNishat Says:
intel N100 is better performed than i5 8350U .
@abzs5811 Says:
Samsung is shit recommending bad products doesn’t inspire much faith
@capieluky Says:
I possible use ram modules with XMP profiles ? And use them on XMP profile loaded ? Thanks
@ragtop63 Says:
I can see this as a good use case for a DIY router/firewall. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t work as a desktop for my purposes.
@mmatej16 Says:
Great video! I also have this board, but i have noticed a noise coming from the cpu every few seconds, heard some people have it too.. Did you hear any sounds coming from the cpu?
@robwalsh3082 Says:
Inspired by this build and have just ordered a case. Please could you tell me if the ASrock N100 motherboard supports a dual monitor setup. I believe it has an HDMI and also a Dsub port. Can these be used at the same time to run two separate monitors so I can have different windows open on each monitor. Thanks so much
