02:21.55brolin_empeyIs 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?
02:27.16brolin_empeyI 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
02:27.16brolin_empeymonitor with a small, fanless x86-64 computer but I want at least 8 GiB, preferably at least 16 GiB, of main memory.

03:16.06MaxdamantusWhy do you want a graphics card at all?
03:16.18Maxdamantususes three monitors on integrated graphics.
03:17.04Maxdamantus5120×1080
03:17.43MaxdamantusMaybe having a 3840×2160 monitor is significant, dunno.
03:21.08MaxdamantusBased 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
03:21.47Maxdamantus(those are the specifications for my CPU)
03:24.30Maxdamantusnote: my monitors are 1920×1080 (HDMI), 1920×1080 (DVI), 1280×1024 (VGA)
03:25.20Maxdamantusimagines newer CPUs/motherboards would support three outputs without requiring one of them be VGA
03:31.42brolin_empeyI 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.
03:32.35MaxdamantusRight, but presumably you're wanting to get something more recent, since you said "somewhat recent"
03:35.40brolin_empeyApparently 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.
03:37.55brolin_empeyI do not need a newer/faster than Core 2 computer but I want a fanless computer and, ideallly, with non-volatile main memory too.
03:38.25MaxdamantusPresumably if price is a concern, wouldn't it be more effectively to just buy second-hand parts?

03:40.23brolin_empeyI doubt that I could find this type of fanless industrial computer for sale used.  I have not even found it for sale new.
03:41.09MaxdamantusIf you buy parts you can just mix and match things to get what you want.
03:42.05Maxdamantuseg, 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.
03:44.07brolin_empeyIt 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.
03:45.33MaxdamantusOkay, but is the motherboard special?
03:53.37*** join/#maemo pagurus (~user@i59F7A469.versanet.de)
03:57.04MaxdamantusThe 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
04:42.52brolin_empeyApparently they are DFI models EC511-SD and EC511-HD.  They are sold as a single product with the motherboard in the case.
04:44.38brolin_empeyhttps://web.archive.org/web/20170209124143/http://www.dfi-itox.com/products/product.php?productId=10005
04:44.38brolin_empeyThe 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.
04:54.49brolin_empeyHere is one of them on the current DFI Web site:
04:54.49brolin_empeyhttps://estore.dfi.com/index.php/ec510-ec511-hd.html
04:54.49brolin_empeyApparently it sells for around 686 dollars, presumably USD but lots of countries use a currency named dollar, including Taiwan, the home country of DFI.
05:01.12brolin_empeyHere is the other model on the current DFI Web site but without any pricing:

22:33.11WikiwideBroke my stylus (poor fragile things, they suffer when software is slow). Took a 3D doodle pen, and heat-melded stylus back together. Rough, patchy, bulging like a broken bone, but it works, for now. Cleaned out much of the dust from stylus bay.
23:07.58*** join/#maemo AndrewX192 (~andrew@unaffiliated/andrewx192)
23:10.35WikiwideTemperature of melting for stylus is somewhere under 200°C, or so.
