MSECORE i3-8100 GTX1050ti 4G Mini PC Desktop

[Joedarkness]

So on another thread I think I stated I ordered this

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...065.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.11512c0d00dDho

It's a very compact PC 8th Gen CPU with a GTX 1050Ti from china what could go wrong

you always have that feeling .. will it be a i3-8100 or will the card be a 650Ti with a flashed bios ?

However it arrived and I must say on the first looks good checked the CPU and it's i3-8100 and 1050Ti is a gigabyte 4Gb card

Installed the ram and SSD and installed windows with no issues load passmark and did the CPU test again all looks great
Do the video card check and aghhh .. the noise !! really noisy coil whine from PC ( passed the GPU test)

Checked the 1050 with another ITX motherboard .. it's fine

Took the board out and used a new 1050 and the noise is there it's not a constant sound it's buzz pitch changes as the test changes

I have reached out to the vendor and will keep you updated

1st Update :- No reply from Vendor sent second email

Neat! That's a PIO-format motherboard, ITX size.
Too bad it doesn't have M.2, even with 1 soDIMM slot that'd be all it needs.

@Instran0 - PIO format is with the sideways PCI Express slot, on the top of the motherboard (as opposed to the normal slot on the 'bottom' Check this thread:

Hi all together, after purchasing one of the motherboards with a angeled pcie slot, using the taobao shopping guide in this forum, I wanted to give you the direct links to the different products. Those motherboards are currently only availible in china as far as I know. Let´s get started...
