Yeah. It’s just incredible. Not that many years ago, getting decent compute out of anything fanless was a MAJOR undertaking, and now it’s just another SKU. Sure, with some limitations, but it’s no longer an odyssey like it used to be. -Adam

Check out the SuperMicro M11SDV-8CT-LN4F
8 Core Epyc 3251 that is fanless.
Have them in my NAS and firewall at home :)

* 2.2GHz Denverton (Atom C3758) CPU architecture, 8 cores w/16MB each but not superscalar, no Turbo, and no HT. Still plenty fast enough for most applications. * Up to 256GB of ECC RAM. * Dual 10G onboard. * 13 x SATA ports (including 1xSuperDOM), 8 of them delivered via 2x Mini-SAS HD ports * 1 x PCI-E x4 * 1 x M.2 * 1 x internal USB 3.1 (type A) port * IPMI and remote mgmt. subsystem onboard
And although there are 4 fan headers, this is a Mini-ITX (!) board that runs a cool 25W (i.e. fanless!!!).
There’s an entire series of them this year from SuperMicro, all having slightly different configurations.
I know I’m getting old, but this is as incredible to me as my current equipment would have been to 10- or 20-years-ago me.
