Final Thoughts
This product offers a wide range of applications we didn’t fully explore in this review. Whether you’re seeking a board for development, a mini-PC, or even for multimedia purposes, this product combines it all into one efficient solution. Overall, we had an excellent experience with it, and the documentation is above average, making it accessible even for those who aren’t very tech-savvy. On the downside, from a user standpoint, having two Ethernet LAN ports would have been a better choice for those who want to use it as a personal gateway firewall device for running OpenSense.
Do we still recommend? Absolutely, yes!

When you installed the IOTA Active Cooler, was there a gap between the CPU and the cooler? Mine seems to have an air gap that can’t be overcome with thermal paste.
Maybe, but I can’t say for sure. The thermal paste should help, even if there is a very small gap.
If you’re really annoyed with the gap, you can always try adding a thermal pad. What you should focus on is checking the temperatures to see if they are stable. If they are stable and reasonable in range, then everything is working as it should.
