Gigabyte GA-N3150N-D3V

I will put a 80 x 15 mm silent fan on the passive cooling of the CPU. Should fit inside case and temps are nearly ambient with a 80 x 25 mm fan (NOT fitting in the case, but with case cover lying on the fan).

Thanks for this info.

Hi
I decided to write few words regarding my experience with router built on Gigabyte motherboard GA-N3150N-D3V. This is relatively fresh Gigabyte motherboard with:
- Celeron N3150 processor
- 2 x 1GbE Realtec NICs onboard
- 2 SATA 6 and 2 SATA 3 interfaces
- fullsize PCI
Additionally to built my router I used:
- PicoPSU-80
- 120GB SSD Kingston disk
- M350 MINI-ITX case
- some cheap 60W power adapter
RAM configuration?

I live in europe, and here I bought this boar for about $80. Indeed I cannot find it on amercian amazon. It may be dedicated board for Europe. For this price You can actually buy zotac CI323 nano baroness with the same processor and Wi-FI. Others reporting on this forum sucess installing pfSense on this box. Box looks really cool. A drawback is You cannot expand zotac with PCI though.
Unfortunately, the zotac CI323 isn't available anywhere either (not for sale or out of stock). So I'm back to looking at the similarly configured N3150 boxes from aliexpress.

"Usually ships within 3 to 6 weeks." …. but it could be earlier than that based on my experience with Amazon FireTV purchase. Maybe 1 or 2 weeks times. You can try your luck if you're not urgent.
Just another 3150 pfsense board , check out the comments there :

I know Gigabyte and Asus and I'm sure Netgate and SuperMicro are trusted by many vendors. So I will stick with Giagbyte and Asus and perhaps ZOTAC for the time being.
I want to see the proof,stress test of their hardware until I can trust because we will be running 24/7.
Don't you think so ? -
Hello,
thank you for sharing your experience. Also I have purchased this motherboard, but I'm having some difficulties, because I need to use 3 NICs and install it all in a 1U rack case, I used a riser card but the card that connect to the riser is not recognized … someone can give me some advice for risolver my problem.
Thank you all -
Problems with this mainboard also here. I am using a PPPoe connection and after ~12h it starts to drop it and cannot reconnect back to it.

Thanks for sharing this experience.
I was ready to order WAY more complicated components if I hadn't run into this lovely little piece./ Tarran
