    I really wish people works stop cramming everything into a Pi form factor. This one would be much better served with another design. Notice there are no pictures of the bottom side? There are when you go to the Ali Express store, and it’s literally a blank n100. Not even a could plate to move at least some heat, just nothing.

    N100 needs some amount of cooling. Either a great big choker probably larger than the pi for passive cooling, or a more suitably sized one for some sort of fan. Or you can run it without any cooler and see it throttle when using about half a core, defeating the purpose of having an n100 on there in the first place…
