CI323 Nano N3150 Silent Braswell PC

I have the base model CI323 Nano with N3150 processor. I added a Hitachi 1TB 2.5" 5400rpm storage drive and a MyDigitalSSD M.2 2242 64GB SSD. It's idle or playing a game. Plays old games fine. Great for office work and web browsing. Completely silent, no Audible electrical noise. Temperature range 30-60 degrees. Even after prolonged gaming or heavy CPU load. It has two SODIMMs, but doesn't seem to work in dual-channel mode, at least according to CPU-Z, which is a shame. Maybe a BIOS can -Update fix? has an empty M.2 2242/2260 slot that isn't listed in the specs, probably because you need to remove the motherboard and bypass the "Warranty void if removed" sticker around the screw to remove which is blocked by this.The SSD anyway and it works great.Why they didn't put it on the other side is beyond me.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Embarrassing
