        @roxy said in Topton N100 Reporting 402 MHz:

        Yup so 36% packet loss. I guess that's a bug in the earlier iperf version at the sender end that it doesn't show the loss value correctly.

        Try testing in reverse (-R) to make sure it behaves the same both ways.

        Try sending to/from pfSense directly to see if he throttling is obvious in one direction or on one NIC there.

          Note it's actually pretty much the same as TCP so that rules out TCP windowing as an issue.

              @roxy This is the BIOS I ended up flashing. And here is a link to the flashing instructions, such as they are. I remember the process being a bit temperamental, but it did eventually work. If you attempt it and run into issues I can try to help work through it.

                You only need to use -R at the client end. It's useful because you can test both ways from the client only. Old iperf couldn't do that.
                Anyway it's the same both ways so it doesn't matter which NICs are sending or receiving in pfSense. That's good they should behave identically.
                So testing to/from pfSense as the server directly would show if the problem is specific to sending or receiving traffic.

                  Thanks, I was able to find your post before, so I downloaded bios4.rom, but unfortunately I am not able to open the link to ISO
                  To many Chineese characters in the iso link

                  {"code":500,"message":"failed link: failed to get file: failed get parent list: failed get dir: failed get parent list: failed get dir: object not found","data":null}

                    @roxy I've still got the ISO but it's too large to attach here (21MB). I've uploaded it here

                      Thanks. But I am afraid with flashing the bios now. I will wait till I have more free time to fix bricked devices ;-)
                      @TheNarc , does you hardware look exactly like mine ???
                      4 NICs ???

                      @roxy said in Topton N100 Reporting 402 MHz:

                      @AnonymousRetard

                      I would be very thankful, if you could share the link to bios and the ISO file with instruction how to upgrade the bios.

                      My machine with pfsense has no option about Power Performance in the BIOS.

                        @roxy Yeah I understand. For what it's worth, when it worked for me it "just worked". The difficulty I had was with the flash command, because the environment that the ISO boots into is a little odd. I think there was a "mount" command I had to use even though it seemed more like a DOS environment (uses drive letters). Anyway, if you decide to try it and have trouble I can see if my memory serves me well enough to help.

                          Good to know.

                          BTW, I have found , probably noewer ISO file

                            @roxy Yes as far as I can tell we have the exact same hardware. BIOS reports the same too (info doesn't change in the modded version):

                              Okay,

                              before I start flashing the bios in my Intel N100 device, I would like to summarize all the information and consider the pros and cons.

                              I have the device: AlderLake ULX Intel(R) N100 device with the bios BK-1264NP Ver: 1.5 (build date 09/28/2023 17:23:35).
                              I have pfsense 2.7.2-RELEASE (amb64) built on Wed Dec 6 21:10:00 CET 2023 installed on the device onto FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT.

                              I didn't change the thermal paste yet; I left the original one. The device is running 24/7, and the temperature is around 40-45 degrees Celsius.
                              I have a 128GB NVME installed, and I have a 8GB RAM installed.

                              In my BIOS settings, I can't see any options to change Power Limit 1 and Power Limit 2.

                              I don't have any issues with the thermal throttling, and the device is running smoothly.
                              The only issue (right now) is the speed of transfering files between two NICs.
                              The device is supposed to route the traffic between two NICs, and the speed should be around 2.5Gbps.

                              I have observed that running iperf3 between two NICs gives 2.35Gbps at the beginning, but after 20-30 seconds, the speed drops to 1.2Gbps and increases to 1.8Gbps and stays around 1.8Gbps.

                              Now, lets rethink the pros and cons of flashing the bios:
                              Pros:

                              • I will be able to change the Power Limit 1 and Power Limit 2; I can set them to 15W and 25W.
                              • I will be able to set boot perfromance to Turbo mode.
                              • I will be able to enable C-States.

                              Cons:

                              • I will spend time on flashing the bios.
                              • I will to change the thermal paste and probably add new thermal pads and USB fan.
                              • I can brick the device and I will have to buy a new one or move to another device and install pfSense on it, and configure it again.
                              • My wife will be angry because I will spend time on the device instead of spending time with her.
                              • My kids will be angry because I will spend time on the device instead of playing with them.

                              Assuming the optimistic scenario, I will flash the bios, change the thermal paste, add new thermal pads, and add a USB fan and this could give me 2.35Gb/s speed between two NICs instead of current 1.8 Gbps, which is around 30% increase in speed, which I usually don't need.
                              My current speed usage is around 54-100Mbps (because of WIFI speed). The only case I need 2.5Gbps is when I am transferring files between two NICs, which is not a common case. I need to connect with a cable and transfer the files. I really barely do that. I can use a USB stick to transfer the files.
                              Moreover, I can always change the vmbr1 setting in my proxmox in order to avoid traffic between pfsense interfaces :-) -> this gives me 2.5Gbps speed of transferring files between.

                              @TheNarc , are there any more advantages?

                              Conclusion:
                              I asked co-pilot what to do and I got:
                              co-pilot suggesiton: I will not flash the bios, I will not change the thermal paste, I will not add new thermal pads, and I will not add a USB fan. I will spend time with my wife and kids and I will play with them. I will use a USB stick to transfer the files between two NICs. I will change the vmbr1 setting in my proxmox in order to avoid traffic between pfsense interfaces. I will enjoy my life.

                              but, I am reaaly torn between the other option, which is

                              dark side suggestion: I will flash the bios, I will change the thermal paste, I will add new thermal pads, and I will add a USB fan. I will spend time on the device instead of spending time with my wife and kids. I will transfer the files between two NICs with 2.3Gbps speed. I will enjoy my life.

                              In both cases, I will enjoy my life.
                              Don't know which one to choose.
                              I need to think about it.

                                You are not forced to re-paste or add a fan by flashing the BIOS. You can just leave the settings the same but it gives you the option. You would be able to set the power levels higher and see if that impacts the transfer speeds. And if it does you've probably found the problem and can stop looking.

                                Alternatively you could do nothing at all. It's still passing traffic at 1.5Gbps even after slowing down.

                                  @roxy Haha, I think you pretty much nailed it on the pros and cons. But as @stephenw10 said you are not forced to do all the changes after flashing the BIOS. Assuming the flashing of the BIOS goes well and your device still works everything should keep working the same until you start further tinkering with it.

                                  IF you do end up increasing the PL1 limits though it is probably a good idea to monitor the temperatures and test stability.
                                  In my case, it seems like my box is able to run normally for about 1-2 weeks before crashing with general protection fault or page faults if the temperature is in the 55-60C range (this is where my box seems to end up with only passive cooling and light pfSense usage), but if it creeps up much higher during heavy benchmarking it can fail in as little as ~1-2 hours (with only passive cooling my box would reach 70C+ during memtest86+ and the whole box would become too hot to touch).

                                  Whether your box can survive at higher temperatures or not is probably very different from device to device. It will depend on brand and silicon quality of the RAM and NVMe drive. (In my case it is the RAM that ends up failing at high temperatures).

                                  Atttached below is a picture of how my final solution looks like (I did not have to change any thermal paste in the box, just attach this fan on top). With that USB fan on the "medium" speed setting and the lid to the whole media wall box closed the temperature ends up in the 38-45 C degree range with very short spikes usually no higher than ~55C.

                                    Guys, I did it 🎉

                                    Super thanks for all informations.
                                    I managed to build custom.iso with bios4.rom overriding the original CW-AL-4L- bin file.

                                    I did it as follows:

                                    • downloaded original ISO file
                                    • mounted it and copied the folder to my disk
                                    • edited the content (changed the bin file with bios4.rom
                                    • changed the nsh script
                                    • maked new iso file using mkisofs -J -o custom.iso path_to_the_folder_containing_EFI (not sure if I rembember the command properly now)
                                    • build Ventoy ISO bottable usb drive , uploaded custom.iso to main drive
                                    • booted machine without NVME drive but only with USB disk
                                    • Ventoy asked to select ISO file
                                    • Chose custom.iso
                                    • Prayed for 3 minutes
                                    • Entered reset
                                    • Prayed again

                                    Here is the link to my folder with custom.iso and bios4.rom files.
                                    2b44c1ca-00a8-450b-9d07-20c0020aacb8-image.png

                                    • And I could see new bios :-)

                                    Amazing. I copied mostly all the config from screenshots in this thread but changed PL1 to 9000 and PL2 to 25000

                                    Finally my pfsense is running 1.7 GHz ~ 2.7 GHz and it is not going down when busy ;-)

                                    During the stress test:

                                    openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-256-cbc

                                          @roxy Haha, so you went the "dark side" route anyways. Glad it worked out for you! Thanks for sharing all the information. I downloaded the files you shared on google drive and archived the steps you did in case I ever want to tinker further with my BIOS as well in the future. Mine is still running the original version but with seemingly different hidden default settings. Since it is performing as expected though I don't think there's much to fix with another BIOS but I really like tinkering with computers and perhaps I can save a watt or two or something (or perhaps unlock even more performance instead) if I feel like I want to tinker further.

                                            @roxy When loading the custom bios on this mini PC did anyone else get the 1.nsh is not recognized as an internal or eternal command. Ive followed the post here and the Server the Home post both give me the same result.NSH errror.PNG

                                            Thx for any help in advance
