My Intel NUC server just died (whenever it’s plugged in, it makes a buzzing noise, and the external power LED is off (the internal one is on tho)), so I need a new server box. Any recommendations?
I can salvage the RAM (16 GB DDR4) and hard drive (1TB HDD) off of this one, I believe.
If you don’t mind it being completely Chinese based, Beelink with their new Intel 12th gen mini PC were my upgrade from the last Shuttle device I’ve used.
Dual Intel 2.5G NIC plenty of USB and an extremely efficient Intel Alder Lake-N100 with a great price to performance closed the deal for me.
EQ12-N100 is what i went for, to be exact, there are more powerful options too, if needed.
Do you notice any slight problem on EQ12-N100? I was worried about single channel RAM performance.
Not at all, i use it as a firewall, so i wouldn’t notice anything. I can’t imagine it being a problem, it’s still DDR5
