ErYing Delivers a Fantasy SFF Motherboard

Chinese motherboard manufacturer (尔英) ErYing has released a “Fantasy” series motherboard featuring Intel 12th generation Alder Lake CPU’s, except it’s not what you might think.  The CPU’s available are mobile variants with a 45W base TDP and soldered to the motherboard.  It looks like it can use a standard intel cooler mount however, and might make for some interesting SFF builds.  While they offer both ITX and mATX boards, the ITX is the most interesting for SFF.  Currently on Chinese retailer JD.com, the board is listed (but not yet available) in 3 CPU variants.  Prices and specs are listed below.

A Brazilian youtuber also reviewed this board (in Portuguese):

According to him, the build quality is night and day compared to the previous mATX one, he claims this one is much better

If that is the case, it's good news and ErYing have learned from the last gen

Any further developments, about to pull the trigger…

I looked into getting one fleetingly, but have been led elsewhere with a deal on a Gigabyte Z590i Vision D / i5 11400F combo.
You know, the kind of deal that is too good to turn down...and if you do you'll wake up one morning with a horse's head next to you

Any further developments, about to pull the trigger…

Very little updates from me (or rather, an further explaination of my earlier cinebench run). other than changing a cooler, and now waiting for another IS-55 to come, and then getting my wifi card into the board.

On that note, Thermalright's AXP90 series don't fit with the board. It comes in contact with some caps and doesn't make contact with the heatspreader.

Repasted the die with TF9 and changed the cooler back to the IS-47-XT, but with a 25mm thick fan.

Cinebench scores increase from the previous 14686 to 16982, after changing coolers. Temperatures still whack up to 100C for some P-Cores, at 95W stable throughout the whole run.

Trigger pulled! Thanks

I'm close to pulling the trigger as well but would first like to know if the PCIe slot will still run x8 even if all 3 m.2 slots are used. Does anyone know?
