Built a small machine using an Asrock N100DC-ITX motherboard, it has an Intel N100 built in and I also have 1x NVMe and 2x HDDs. The board has a DC Jack so no external PSU.

First time I booted it, the NVMe had Opensuse on it so I played around a little, no problem. When I boot into BIOS also no problem.

When I boot into Unraid, there is a strange sound coming from the back of the board, sounds like an interference sound. I cannot tell if it's coming from the ethernet port or from the power DC Jack. I think it's from the power.

I recorded it with my phone and bumped the sound +20 dB, this is how it sounds like. You can hear the fans and that sound. https://soundcloud.com/user-300866676-719653331/n100-1

For power I tried using both an Intel NUC 65w power adapter and an Asus laptop 90w power adapter, the one Asrock recommends on their website. The system has been running for 1-2days, with 4 containers and Home Assistant VM, it idles at around 16w. Without Home Assistant, it drops to 11w.

Any idea what that sound is?

Edit 1: If I go into BIOS and turn off Intel Turbo Boost Technology then it is silent but also kills my performance?

Edit 2 So because I did not want to leave Turbo Boost on, I did some more digging and also realized my CPU was always boosting in Unraid. using "watch grep "cpu MHz" /proc/cpuinfo" it was almost always between 2900Mhz and 3300Mhz. I installed Tip and Tweaks plugin and set Normal CPU Scaling Governor to power saver. The sound is gone and now it seems the CPU goes all the way down to 600 MHz and up to 3400MHz depending if it needs it. I don't know if the power saver will affect performance in any way but so far so good and I don't have hear that wheeeeee anymore.

It's a guy playing the beginning of the game, it's filmed in vertical with the phone :) Will most likely be taken down very soon.

I didn't watch the intro, just skimmed through the gameplay parts, looks really good.

Linux Noob here

The Nuc is sitting under my TV and my wife uses it mostly to watch reality tv shows, cooking shows, etc on different websites. The requirement was for the Nuc to go to sleep after 30minutes of inactivity and to wake it up with the keyboard.

It had Leap 15.3 so I wanted to upgrade it but I managed to botch the upgrade. I decided to go with Debian instead, installed it, configured everything and when I handed it over to my wife I realized the Nuc never woke from sleep. Then I remember I had this problem in the past with it when I tried a whole bunch of distros and none of them managed to wake it up. I also read on Intel forums where people complained about the same issue with different Nucs and I think the general consensus was that it's a problem with the Nucs and it can't be solved.

What happens is, when the Nuc is sleeping, the power LED slowly blinks. When you wake it up, the LED goes completely away, like it's turned off but you can hear the fan is starting to spin. However, you don't have any image and you have to hold the power button a lot longer to turn if off, like it soft-resets.

So I nuked Debian, installed Leap 15.5 and it wakes from sleep without any issues. I am happy that it does and I like Opensuse but I have no idea what it does different compared to other distros in this regard.

Translation with deepl:

This is no joke! Two German tourists got a criminal record because they thought Romania had joined the Schengen Area! It all started after the surveillance cameras located near the border line, on the Garbolcz road (Hungary), at the S.P.F. Petea headquarters, around 17.40, issued an alert and transmitted images of two people riding their bicycles from Romania to Hungary, according to PresaSM information.

The images transmitted by the surveillance cameras showed the two people riding around the concrete obstacle and the barrier on the road, illegally crossing the border from Romania into Hungary. The intervention team of S.P.F. Petea was alerted and went to the scene, but the two persons could not be identified and detained.

At the same time, the Hungarian border authorities were informed and sent a team to the area, thus managing to apprehend the two persons. During the border meeting that took place at the S.P.F. Petea headquarters, in order to jointly investigate the border event, the Hungarian border authorities informed that the two persons are German citizens.

According to PresaSM data, in front of the Hungarian authorities, the persons in question declared that they were on holiday and were travelling on bicycles guided by the GPS application of their mobile phones. This is how they arrived in the town of Petea, where the app showed them that there was a border crossing point, as they intended to cross the border from Romania into Hungary. Being used to travelling freely through Europe, without customs controls between countries, they did not know that they could not cross the border there.
