Mobo: Fanless Mini PC model: Rev JSL1 1.10 serial: UEFI: American Megatrends LLC. v: ML_JPL1V4.2 date: 07/14/2022 The results show the slight impact caused by the slower eMMC storage and thermal throttling which is covered further in the ‘thermals’ section below. Ubuntu 22.04 Performance

MeLE has also stated that they have ‘improved the heat dissipation structure by adding alumina thermal conductive plate and silicon pad on the housing case’: I also confirmed that the new Type-C USB port supported power delivery by connecting the MeLE Quieter3C directly to a Dell monitor without separately connecting power: Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 15) Essentially the MeLE Quieter HD3Q is an improved and slightly larger Quieter3Q. The increased power limit under Windows and the inclusion of dual-channel memory is evident in the ‘Heaven’ benchmarks and will no doubt benefit any potential eGPU configuration. Despite the higher thermals and exterior surface temperature, the mini PC performs well without adverse thermal throttling. Highlights

I got the Quieter3 to optimize size/weight for mounting on the scope. Time will tell if it was a viable choice. Earlier Atom-based units were just too slow, these newer models seem to have finally crossed the threshold to practical performance.

I just received a Quieter3C mini PC and have been setting it up this afternoon. Looking at the 120V to 12V USB-C power adapter, I'm wondering if I can cut the power chord and install Anderson Power Pole connectors. This would let me use the 12V Rig Runner unit I have been using to power my existing rig with an Intel NUC. Does any one know if there are more than two active wires in the power chord? I don't know much about USB-C wiring. It would be a mess if more than the standard 2 (+12V and Ground) wires are used.

During the stress test, the maximum temperature I recorded on the top of the device was around 54.6°C in an ambient room temperature of 12.7°C with the device not being too hot to touch. If the CPU frequency is monitored during the stress test it can be seen that the initial temperature peak is caused by the CPU running at an average of 2600 MHz for the ‘PL1’ duration after which it thermal throttles and drops to an average frequency of 2340 MHz to prevent overheating:I think I'll try the MeLE Quieter 3C, but still trying to figure out how to power it from my PegasusAstro PowerBoxAdv which provides 12V output via 5.5/2.1 mm male connectors. Full function type C could meet Power input , Data Transmit , Video Display with just one cable. PD3.0. However, during testing, this only decreased the temperature of the top of the device by a single degree from 55.6°C on the Quieter3Q to 54.6°C on the MeLE Quieter3C. Under prolonged usage, this modification may be more noticeable.

When booting Ubuntu 22.04.1, there was the usual UEFI (BIOS) error being reported in the ‘dmesg’ that appears common with Jasper Lake mini PCs and whose significance of which has not been determined: The only place where it may fall down is in the WiFi (mine came with WiFi 5) and its speed throttling even on one of the 6W Jasper Lake processors (the PN41 is fanless). However, you could upgrade to WiFi 6 with a fairly inexpensive M.2 card/replacement. Don't know about the speed throttling, I haven't found any way to disable that although for safety/reliability reasons it might be a good idea to just leave it as is (the performance for imaging and remote access seems okay). and list the USB ports as ‘USB 3.0 (Gen 1)’ so I tested them together using a Samsung 980 PRO PCle 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD housed in a ‘USB to M.2 NVMe adapter’ (ORICO M2PAC3-G20 M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure) which showed that the first two ports on the right side were actually ‘USB 3.1’ (USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 i.e. 10 Gbit/s): MeLE Quieter 3C N5105 Fanless Mini PC N5105, LPDDR4, Windows11, HDMI 4K * 2, Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet, BT 5.2, USB 3.2* 3, Type-C, SD Card & SSD Support, VESA MountThe MeLE Quieter HD3Q consists of a 150 x 105 x 37mm (5.91 x 4.13 x 1.46 inches) rectangular plastic case with a metal base plate. Gone are the faux heat spreader fins from the top of the case as it is now finished with a very fine dimple effect. As a passively cooled mini PC, it uses Intel’s 10 nm Jasper Lake N5105 processor which is a quad-core 4-thread 2.00 GHz Celeron processor boosting to 2.90 GHz with Intel’s UHD graphics. The power figures fluctuate so the value is the average of the median high and median low power readings. UEFI (BIOS)

However, since cameras currently top out at around 500MB/s it probably doesn't make much difference. The PN41's internal SATA SSD get about 500MB/s which is about what you'd expect over that slower interface. With a Samsung T7 external SSD it's 10Gb/s USB-C port is faster than the internal SATA SSD.

Similar to when I reviewed another mini PC with Intel’s Jasper Lake N5105 processor, the iGPU showed limited details in HWiNFO and was unknown to GPU-Z: Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown
