Intel Celeron Processor 4205U

What a crap CPU.

FanlessTech that originally suggested the idea to Asrock are not happy about it by their recent tweets and as someone pointed out on reddit you can buy a better spec Arm boards for the same money.

Th new Orange mini boards look interesting with up to 32GB of ram.

Originally a few years ago the Deskmini Fanless was supposed to be based on a 35w cpu with a twin lan socket as the idea came from people who were successfully using the Deskmini series with Arctic's Alpine Passive CPU coolers, the only hassle was the need for a hole to be cut in the top of the case.

Shame the 1235U struggles under passive cooling and is performance limited by the TDP otherwise ideal for this kind of setup.

Shame the above board uses a engineering sample mobile CPU as it looks like you get a lot for the money though it maxes out at 80w so that's not going to be passive unless you undervolt it.
