Review on Supermicro SNK P0046P Passive Intel LGA1155 by Stanislaw Kalinowski ᠌

I assembled a home NAS in a mini-ITX Fractal case on an Asus mother, an Intel Pentium G4600 Kaby Lake processor, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM. To reduce noise, I decided to passively cool the CPU, which was chosen with minimal heat release at maximum performance. The radiator got up without problems. The bottom bracket tightly shorts half of the motherboard. I had to collectively farm the gasket under the bracket myself. I got up normally with a cardboard beer stand from Prague. Apparently designed for large server motherboards, where a special place will be allocated for fasteners. But nothing else concerns the mother, all microcircuits and capacitors are out of reach. There are 3 fans in the case: two 92 mm for airflow, one 140 mm for exhaust, in addition to a separate one for the power supply. The processor in idle keeps the temperature 40*C, under load 51*C. I think it does the job well enough. The processor has a heat dissipation of 51 watts, the maximum possible temperature is 100 * C.
