| brolin_empey | Is there a somewhat recent fanless stationary x86-64 computer that can have at least 8 GiB or, preferably, at least 16 GiB of main memory? | 05:21 |
|---|---|---|
| brolin_empey | I ask because it seems to me that the main reason I still use a microATX or larger motherboard in a computer with at least one fan is because I want to use a fanless video card that needs a PCI Express ×16 slot but I rarely play any computer game any more so I guess the only reason I need such a video card is to simultaneously and independently drive three video monitors but maybe I could still have triple-head capability including one 3840×2160 video | 05:27 |
| brolin_empey | monitor with a small, fanless x86-64 computer but I want at least 8 GiB, preferably at least 16 GiB, of main memory. | 05:27 |

| Maxdamantus | Why do you want a graphics card at all? | 06:16 |
| * Maxdamantus uses three monitors on integrated graphics. | 06:16 | |
| Maxdamantus | 5120×1080 | 06:17 |
| Maxdamantus | Maybe having a 3840×2160 monitor is significant, dunno. | 06:17 |
| Maxdamantus | Based on the specifications here: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/75043/intel-core-i5-4570-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-60-ghz.html , the "max resolutions" must apply to individual monitors, not total output, since my total horizontal resolution is 5120 | 06:21 |
| Maxdamantus | (those are the specifications for my CPU) | 06:21 |
| Maxdamantus | note: my monitors are 1920×1080 (HDMI), 1920×1080 (DVI), 1280×1024 (VGA) | 06:24 |
| * Maxdamantus imagines newer CPUs/motherboards would support three outputs without requiring one of them be VGA | 06:25 | |
| brolin_empey | I still use Core 2 era computers. The video controller integrated on the motherboard is not UHD capable and only has one output for one video monitor. | 06:31 |
| Maxdamantus | Right, but presumably you're wanting to get something more recent, since you said "somewhat recent" | 06:32 |
| brolin_empey | Apparently DFI makes a fanless Nehalem era or later stationary computer that can use the fanless PCI Express video card I currently use but DFI never replied to my request for quantity=1 pricing and I did not spend more time trying to find pricing, such as from a distributor/reseller. | 06:35 |
| brolin_empey | I do not need a newer/faster than Core 2 computer but I want a fanless computer and, ideallly, with non-volatile main memory too. | 06:37 |
| Maxdamantus | Presumably if price is a concern, wouldn't it be more effectively to just buy second-hand parts? | 06:38 |
| Maxdamantus | s/ly\>// | 06:38 |
| Maxdamantus | s/ab\>/ly/; s/ely\>/e/ | 06:38 |
| Maxdamantus | s/mly\>/mably/ | 06:40 |
| brolin_empey | I doubt that I could find this type of fanless industrial computer for sale used. I have not even found it for sale new. | 06:40 |
| Maxdamantus | If you buy parts you can just mix and match things to get what you want. | 06:41 |
| Maxdamantus | eg, there aren't really any CPUs that are particularly made to be fanless. You just get a passive heatsink and put it into a conventional CPU. | 06:42 |
| brolin_empey | It has RS485 and other specialised industrial stuff that I do not need but it is fanless, supports up to at least 16 or 32 GiB of main memory, and can use a “desktop” video card that uses a PCI Express ×16 slot. It has a specially designed metal chassis/case so it can be completely fanless. | 06:44 |
| Maxdamantus | Okay, but is the motherboard special? | 06:45 |

| Maxdamantus | The usual components categorisation site used here has a category for fanless cases (though there are only currently three cases in the category): https://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=v2229 | 06:57 |
| brolin_empey | Apparently they are DFI models EC511-SD and EC511-HD. They are sold as a single product with the motherboard in the case. | 07:42 |
| brolin_empey | https://web.archive.org/web/20170209124143/http://www.dfi-itox.com/products/product.php?productId=10005 | 07:44 |
| brolin_empey | The other model was at http://www.dfi-itox.com/products/product.php?productId=10074 but this page is gone from the live Internet and is not in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. | 07:44 |
| brolin_empey | Here is one of them on the current DFI Web site: | 07:54 |
| brolin_empey | https://estore.dfi.com/index.php/ec510-ec511-hd.html | 07:54 |
| brolin_empey | Apparently it sells for around 686 dollars, presumably USD but lots of countries use a currency named dollar, including Taiwan, the home country of DFI. | 07:54 |
| brolin_empey | Here is the other model on the current DFI Web site but without any pricing: | 08:01 |
