LINK to Zotac's website
This system has been hard to get my hands on.
Been looking at eBay listings from eeeshop and took the risk.
The seller took a while to ship (about 5 days) but eventually sent it via 2-3 Day UPS from Italy. System is brand new, no issues.
I wanted to post some benchmarks and scores as well as some pictures as there Is hardly anything out there in case someone is considering buying it.
I would say that if you're looking at a mid range system like this you're better off with the Minisforum HX99G or HX77G. About 50% cheaper, for only about 20% less performance.
It's quieter too than the Zotac. I'm also sad that they removed the 2.5" disk support, I should have checked that before buying.
I put some Kingston 5600MHz CL40 2x16GB memory (KF556S40IBK2-32) - They are supposed to be rated at that speed at JEDEC settings. However when the system boots it runs the memory at 4800MHz anyway. Please note in the CPU-z screenshots the speed of the memory modules isn't constant and fluctuates anywhere between 900 MHz and 2300 mhz.
What's interesting though is that CPUz lists the CPU as LGA1700. But intel's website has the 13700HX as a FCBGA1964 cpu. I plan on tearing it down at some point and taking more pictures to check, but looking at the backplate where the CPU is, its too fragile to be supporting a socket imho.
