Seems Raspberry Pi is still the cheapest solution for Mame box...
Is it?

I'll get excited about a small form factor PC when I can get a 5960X, 16GB of DDR4 3000, a 4TB SSD and a 980 ti in that size.
Hard to get excited about tiny PC's when they have tiny power to match.

Hi Hilbert,
i have bought this barebone kit for my brother, thinking it would be great, but to my dismal surprise the FAN is extremely loud, i already installed the latest bios, but in the health monitor section, there are only settings for the fan like: smart auto, ultra low, low, medium, full. If i set it to ultra low it runs with 3800rpm and is already very audiable, if i set it to smart auto, it is turned off until approx 42 degress celsius of the cpu and than it again turns on with these 3800rpm. I find this terrible and surpirsing, as i have several zboxes from zotac with similar specs and these are absolutely silent.
Have you seen this behavior with your example as well, or should i think that mine is defective? Eventually have you found a program for windows with which to set the fanspeed? ive already tried speedfan, hwmonitor, but neither of them even recognises the fan and wont show the fanspeed (i can only check the fanspeed in bios)?
thanks

Hey, sorry to hear you ran into issues.
On my side the fan could be heard slightly with the CPU stressed, nothing that worried me though. You will need to regulate FAN RPM in the BIOS (as with any motherboard these days).
My advice would be to remove and reseat the cooler as it sounds like one of the push pins is not mounted/secured properly (and I do hate these push-pin style cooler).
If the problem remains, yep ... RMA it or pick up a low-profile cooler from Noctua or something, ... but that should not be necessary.
