Review on 🔥 Qotom-Q555G6-S05: Powerful Intel Core i5 7200U Industrial Micro PC with 6 Gigabit Ethernet NIC - Small yet Versatile Barebone System by Jorge Kehayas

This little device is quite light but powerful. If you're not too shy to open it up, I'd recommend getting the barebones version and buying the storage and mSATA separately as it's a lot cheaper. Offers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GZFGD2B/ (256GB mSATA) and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ACODGMC/ (16GB RAM). At my house it runs Juniper vMX on top of KVM. The first interface is connected to my cable modem and the other five are bridged to the vMX instance. Since vMX doesn't support NAT, I run a separate Linux namespace for network address translation. Since the device is running vMX, the load is typically high (current load average: 2.12, 2.20, 2.23), with qemu clearly running. big max: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND1654 libvirt+ 20 0 9378932 45412 21608 S 221.0 0.3 971:09.89 qemu-system-x86 This in turn causes the device to heat up significantly. While I'm pretty sure passive cooling will suffice in a well-ventilated area, I have it in a closed cabinet with a separate switch and my cable modem, so I have a small fan blowing air around it. If I don't, it gets a little warm. The CPU temperature is around 60-65 degrees Celsius: root@rtr:# Sensorsit8786-isa-0a40Adapter: ISA-Adapterin0: 1.19V (min = +0.00V, max = +3.06V) in 1:1 0.34V (Min = +0.00V , Max = +3.06V)in2: 2.22V (Min = +0.00V, Max = +3.06V)in3: 2 .21V (Min = +0.00V, Max = +3.06V)in4: 2.23V (Min = +0.00V, Max = +3.06V)in5: 2.23V ( Min = +0.00V, Max = +3.06V)in6: 2.08V (Min = +0.00V, Max = +3.06V)3VSB: 3.65V (Min = +0 .00 V, Max = +6.12 V) Vbat: 3.55 Vfan1: 0 rpm (Min = 11 rpm) ALARMtemp1: +41.0 °C (low = -4.0 °C, high = +127.0 °C) Sensor = Temp2 thermal diode: +40.0 °C (low = +109.0 °C, high = +127.0 °C) Sensor = thermal diode Temp3: -70.0 °C ( low = -95.0 °C, high = +127.0 °C) sensor = thermal penetration diode0: OKacpitz-acpi-0 adapter: interface ACPItemp1: +27.8°C (crit = +119.0°C)temp2 : +29.8°C (crit = +119.0°C) pch_skylake-virtual-0adapter: virtual device temp1: +34.5°C core temp -isa-0000adapter: ISA adapter package ID 0: +63.0°C (high = +100.0 °C, crit = + 100.0 °C) Core 0: +62.0 °C (high = +100.0 °C, critical = +100.0 °C) Core 1: +63.0 °C (high = +100.0 °C , Critical = +100.0 °C) Again, this isn't surprising as I put quite a bit of stress on it. In terms of forwarding performance: absolutely amazing. It easily reaches 500Mbps. Network cards can handle jumbo frames (my current internal MTU is 9100) and support VLAN.
