- Akasa Plato X8 chassis (A-NUC43-M1B) installation demo using an Intel NUC8i5BEK board. Wi-Fi antenna / pigtail cables (A-ATN01-BK / A-ATC01-150GR), TIM Clean (AK-TC), RAM, SSD sold separately.
Plato X8 product page: bit.ly/2EqhIaG
Plato X8 is compatible with the below NUC boards:
i7: NUC8i7BEH
i5: NUC8i5BEK / NUC8i5BEH
i3: NUC8i3BEK / NUC8i3BEH - Věda a technologie
Really only close up shots, what about an overview shot!!
Hi Akasa Team, can we use the built in antenna cables and the built in antennas (stored inside the nuc stock case) instead, or is it better to use the ones shown in the video? Thanks in advance and have a nice day :)
I thought you were only supposed to use thermal compound the size of a grain of rice. Do you really need as much as is shown?
You can use AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. It only matters if you use to little. To much will just make it messy, but wont work any worse then "optimal" ammount.
Henrik Johansson this helps. Thank you!
Gerald Taylor The only thing to be careful with is electrically conductive compounds such as liquid metal compounds, as an overflow of them from under the heat spreader can cause them to make contact with pads on the motherboard and possibly cause shorts which can damage or even kill the board or components.
@@TheDarkSide11891 I wouldent use liquid metal on this since it's aluminium and when gallium (component in thermal grizzlys veriant) it destroys it.
@@ImDembe Oh no I wouldn't suggest you use liquid metal here either, I just meant as a general point about thermal compounds that they are the ones to be mindful about overflow with.
Why would you make all that effort and not support 15mm thick harddrives? WHY??
exactly
temps, please...
If you plan on getting a i7 the case needs to be vertical... Having it horrizontal on the disk is possibly but you'll need to underclock or disagree boost to stop it from overheating.. I own the i7 and my guess is that the i5 has similar performance for a lower price.. I use mine at full speed with a egpu(Rtx3600). I some times add a (very slow) fan while gaming, just to make sure the motherboard more safe because the CPU will hit above 90deg celcius
@@fastertove hmm, if you say so, then I will consider putting my i7-10xxx NUC board into it. Right now, temps go crazy (few cores loaded all the time).
@@adamwalter2573 Yes, these CPUs are designet to boost whenever possible making them somewhat toasty at times. Placing it horizontal on the table,, my NUC will easily hit 100deg under full load(and speed) - probably not so great for rest of the motherboards components.
The ssd (970 evo plus nvme 500gb) stays cool at max 60dec due to being isolated cooled by the lid of the NUC.
The i7-10710U has a TDP of 15w or 25w compared to the 28w on my i7-8559U: I guess its fine with 15w but the case probably isn´t optimal for the 25w. Perhaps the "Akasa Turing" is more fitting for the highter wattage. Just make sure that your generation af cpu/motherboard fits the case you are getting - i don´t know what never generation of NUCs fits in what Akasa cases.
I´m mostly using external graphics which might change my temps a little, but not much since power consumption is limited to the same 45w on my 8. gen. cpu.
@@fastertove have you tried to undervolt it?
@@adia.413 I tried it. But it did not work with my processor.
