    Been thinking about getting a NUC/Brix for months and months and this deal is awfully tempting. Is the 8gb RAM stick not compatible? Seems like a better choice than the 4gb for the same price.

    • silent1 on 06/07/2015 - 13:15

      They require 1.35V RAM so the 8GB stick will not work.

          The Baytrail (Celeron J1900 or N2820) NUC/BRIX only has 1 RAM slot so only 8GB and doesn't have mSATA or M.2.

        • aim54x on 06/07/2015 - 14:01

          @silent1: That is a very important piece of information. I looked at prices between the BRIX and the NUC at the i3 level and went the NUC so I didn't delve into the RAM/SSD loadout. That said having a 2.5" bay is good enough, I am using a 2.5" SSD in my NUC even though it is M.2 capable

  • jackau on 06/07/2015 - 13:53

    if the 8GB notebook DDR ram was 1.35v, then it would make the gigabyte box a steal of this deal

    the gigabyte box' J1900 leaves those N28XX model nuc to dust in computing power.

  • Hiphopopotamus on 06/07/2015 - 14:07

    i'm using that gigabyte nuc at home with 4gb of ram and a 160gb ssd, it's great, plenty fast for general use and browsing.

    for those thinking about holding out for the new low end intel ones (broadwell?), the performance difference is negligible, the j1900 matches the most powerful one. they will however, use less power and have more features, most notably more usb3 ports, a card reader and another digital video out.

    the only real complaint i have is that this thing just isn't very quiet, and there is no manual fan control other than an auto setting in bios, as of now speedfan is not compatible. having said that, it's not too loud and bearable enough, definitely more quiet that any laptops i've heard.

    • retiredfeline on 06/07/2015 - 14:13

      I thought these CPUs could be passively cooled? So there is a small fan in there?

      • aim54x on 06/07/2015 - 14:18

        I am running an i3 5010U NUC with 4GB (to be upgraded to 8GB soon) and a 250GB SSD, certainly not passively cool but virtually no fan noise, I can only just make it out when I am using it late at night and the house is totally silent.

        Now this NUC has the 'interchangeable' lids but I am yet to find anyone selling lids. I would love to have one with a card reader or even just more USB ports.

        • Hiphopopotamus on 06/07/2015 - 14:25
          +2

          if intel made a j1900 nuc, i would probably have got it instead of the gigabyte for the fan control alone :)

          that's actually pretty important, i would consider waiting for the new nucs just for the fan control!

        • aim54x on 06/07/2015 - 14:37

          @baldy: There are some fan control options in the BIOS but I have left mine in AUTO for now. The price of the BRIX J1900 is tempting though. I would hazard to say it's performance is going to be similar to the Broadwell i3 (that I own) which is a lot more expensive.

          Since you are happy enough with your BRIX J1900 maybe it will be worth waiting for SkyLake to arrive

        • Hiphopopotamus on 06/07/2015 - 14:56

          it's too late for me! unless mine dies i won't be upgrading for a long, long time. auto on the gigabyte has a minimum fan speed of just under 2000rpm, which unfortunately is audible though unobtrusive.

          anything with an 'i' in it would blow away the j1900.

          i actually have the name now, the new low end intel nucs are braswell based! coming in dual and quad flavours, even the fastest one only matches the j1900 cpu wise but doubles gpu performance. doubling performance at this end of the spectrum though doesn't amount to much.

        • aim54x on 06/07/2015 - 15:11

          @baldy:

          Braswell makes a lot more sense….I was confused by your reference to Broadwell as the Broadwell NUCs have been around for a bit now.

          Don't write off the J1900, it does have 4 real cores and is lower power than the i3, it isnt bad considering the age of and 22nm architecture. It also blows the doors off the N2820 (http://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_celeron_j1900…) which is the price equivalent in the Intel NUC range at the moment

      • Hiphopopotamus on 06/07/2015 - 14:22
        +1

        fan, pretty much the same as what you find in laptops.

        there are some passive ones but generally i find them not worth the time, high temperatures, performance throttling, all that nonsense.

        intel nucs are actually very quiet, and if they haven't made any changes then they also have really good and fully adjustable fan control.

    Is the Brix + SoDIMM combo worth getting as a HTPC or would the NUC N2820 be better value? I have a i5 NUC and my brother is looking to put together a unit of some sort to connect to his TV now as well.

    • silent1 on 06/07/2015 - 20:00

      The J1900 is a quad core compared to the N2820 which is dual core. You can easily get an SSD for less than $100 which will put you ahead in both performance and cost.

    Does the Gigabyte Brix J1900 run well with ubuntu-14.04, or are there big problems with drivers?
    And does it play online vids ( youtube/flash/html5 etc ) at 1080p easily, or is the cpu always above 50% ?

  • garylau on 07/07/2015 - 10:31

    Is the Gigabyte brix suitable for gaming? StarCraftII, DiabloIII, etc.

    • silent1 on 07/07/2015 - 10:50
      +1

      I'd say Starcraft II would be a little too much for Baytrail. A 2GHz Baytrail core performs around a 1GHz Haswell core so the J1900 will be quickly overwhelmed when the units increase on SC2. For D3 there's a youtube video running at 720p 20fps so maybe 25~30fps without recording software.
