- Small footprint - Silent - Fast, really fast - Power efficient, this unit runs at 4 watts on idle, that's just wild! - Fast DDR5 5600 - Wi-Fi 7 (if Wi-Fi is your thing)

-Much smaller than a built computer, and smaller than a laptop! -The cpu runs 4.0ghz on all cores, impressive for a mobile CPU -GPU runs significantly well on linux for all applications. Light-mid gaming. Some games are not really possible due to the fact that it is not a discrete card. But you are getting the best performance from this little computer. -Great BIOS. You can make settings changes better than some of the other motherboard companies. I specifically like the fact that you can change the power draw that that it can pull (choose 54 watts if you want maximum performance! I promise it is worth it!) -RJ45 port (ethernet) runs as well as can be expected. -HDMI port, and 2 USB-C (with a 40gbps port and PID-in [if you want to power a display this way]) are very good additions. As well you do get 4 USB 3.1 ports. -The internal cooling is top notch! Airflow beats even that of laptops


No bloat, No Spyware, Quiet, stays cool, Windows 11 installed


Good service, quiet, powerful


Fast boot time, speedy internals. Runs proxmox with little to no hassle Handles most linux distros with ease. Small form factor and surprisingly modular, I was pleasantly supersized with the amount of onboard M.2 slots.



This Nerd Octaxe easily hit 15.5/th no problem and stays under 60c fairly easily. When my room got in the 80s it warmed up to 65c which is not bad at all in my opinion. The VR heatsinks keep work great and run around 10c cooler than the board. It comes with a very nice power supply rated for 460w ready for stable over clocking right out of the box. Dont upgrade the firmware or youll get locked out of 15/th and get capped at 13.8/th.

Never buying a laptop again. EVER.

It is quick to be ready out of the box. It does play games very well for its size ( tested non HD ) sim city, world of tanks, ark ( fps above 40 ) small versatile design that makes it fit well anywhere Performs well on all the stuff that the internet has to offer.




COMPACT MINIMALIST DESIGN POWERFUL, PORTABLE AND STACKABLE MAKES A GREAT ARCHIVAL STORAGE BOX DECENT PRICE FOR IT'S FUNCTIONALITY

-I got this just to run my media server since the raspberry pi wasnt cutting it for video encoding, I was assuming Id just run a headless gentoo installation and keep things minimal. The CPU is a beast! I got the most bloated arch hyprland setup (Ml4w) and it runs beautifully with a containerized media server (Jellyfin, Prowlarr, Jackett, multiple Usenets and NZB indexers + tailscale webapp hosting so my family can add stuff remotely) and it honestly has plenty of room to spare! I only put 16 GB of DDR5 ram in it as well. -The build quality is astoundingly good, I literally found this machine by searching for cheapest Chinesium barebones pc made of bamboo. But the thing is metal, feels s o l i d, has good airflow, and the internals are well seated. -Very good engineering/design, the 1st ssd slot is slightly raised as to not touch the control module battery. That sounds small but its a chefs kiss when so many builds have irreconcilable placement issues
