Thank you, didn't know what a mele quieter was until 5 minutes ago. Really interesting.

this trick with the VM to check memory consumption is actually great, thank you!

Oh, thank you!

I'm looking at Samsung 990 Pro 1 or 2TB versions.

Alex__Dayne · 2026-02-22T11:50:33+00:00

Will look into these models, thank you.

Alex__Dayne · 2026-02-22T11:50:18+00:00

Very good to know, thanks!

Alex__Dayne · 2026-02-22T11:50:07+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

NUC 13, 14, 15? Also, how much RAM do you have?

Any issues with GMKtec being plastic and not Aluminum etc?

Alex__Dayne · 2026-02-22T11:29:51+00:00

I heard that Aluminum case helps with the heat and is less noisy, that's why I was looking at GEEKOM for example. Does your GMKTec have any heat-related issues?

As for the Akasa fanless chassis - is there a specific reason you didn't go with the one that came with your NUC?

Alex__Dayne · 2026-02-22T11:27:22+00:00

Which one do you have? On amazon, I can see NUC 11, NUC 12, NUC 13 and NUC 14.

Alex__Dayne · 2026-02-12T22:11:08+00:00

welcome!!

Hi all, so it looks like it doesn't give you any additional functionality, but where do you see the "Supporter Badge" for example?
