Technical drawing of the NUC7i5BNK board





Hello guys

 

We are about to embed the NUC7i5BNK in a different designbecause of the similar board design of the i7 and i5 7th generation NUCs we have gone for this instead of the 6th.

 

A friendly person helped me with the drawing of gen 6, any pointers to the drawing of NUC7i5BNK mainboard with all measurements?Ideally a 3D model or CAD drawing?

hello bmajdosz,

suggest you should refer to [jetson nano product design guide](https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/dlc/jetson-nano-product-design-guide) to review the design. thanks while the 10710u is more powerful, the 10510u is enough for browsing and other office tasks. if you're mostly gonna be browsing or watching movies, both of them will do just fine. but uhd display gives the 10510u an extra advantage.
but if you're gonna be playing games or creating/editing multimedia contents(or 3d renders), the extra power of 10710u will be very handy. hey,

there might be not enough power for your usb devices after you draw some with your ffc camera.

what are you powering the board with? try dc jack with a beefier power supply.

cheers,

olex no, the top one is not worth it.

the core i7 990x is a very expensive cpu that's ideal for hardcore number crunching, 3d design/rendering and media encoding. but it's not future-proof by any stretch of imagination, that socket is already obsolete.

for everyday use and gaming, the core i5 2500k is the best bang/buck processor on the market.

if you're building a rig for movie editing or working in maya/3d studio max/blender, you're probably still better off with the core i7 2600k than the 990x because of the huge price disparity. the $700 difference in price corresponds to a small difference in overall performance. for that money you could have a professional workstation graphics card, triple the ram etc.

for gaming, the most important component in your build is the graphics card, and i don't see one listed? roughly 70% of gaming performance is determined by your graphics card. for gaming, even a core i5 2400 with a radeon hd 6970 or gtx 570 is far superior to the more expensive 990x with some $110 graphics card like a radeon hd 5750 or geforce gts 450.

anyway, it's not possible to buy any computer hardware that will still be considered "great" 5+ years later. you want something great by today's standards, on a socket which provides good upgrade options a couple of years down the road. you may not need to upgrade so quickly, but you'd be able to- that's how you get a system to last 5+ years.

ivy bridge will be released in the next few months, and that will outperform sandy bridge. this is duplicate of <https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1071283/>

let’s continue in topic 1071283. generally the performance of a new generation of "supporting" equipment does not have a huge affect on the true performance. gddr6 is better, but it is not the only reason the super varient is going to be faster. same with pcie generations, and regular ddr3/4 ram. pcie gen 3 is not saturated, so gen 4 should not be a deciding factor (yet). ddr3 is worse than ddr4, but the performance change is seen when comparing the cpus directly, not in the ram alone. for both gpu and cpu, the ram will affect the performance, but not on its own. the rest of the part needs to be able to take advantage of the upgraded ram.

you can just compare the raw performance numbers of those two gpus, like benchmark fps in games, and use that to decide if you want to spend the extra $130 for the better gpu. you do not have to particularly worry about the supporting specs, like gddr5/6, cuda core count, or even base clock speed, because these differences will be reflected in the performance changes as a whole, so you do not have to compare those specific differences. certain models of gpu might be clocked faster, and will perform better, but you compare those models to the same gpu in stock form. ie, not 1650 vs 1650 super at higher clock, you would compare the base speed 1650 super to an upgraded 1650 super, to see how the clock speed boost changes the performance of the card over its stock clocks.

tl: dr, dont bother with the details too much, just use benchmarks/average fps to decide if the extra performance is worth the extra money. i think it’s too early to think about h.266.

in any case if it will be supported then you need new hardware. how about antec ne550m?


for many pcs, yes. for one in which you invested in a modern ryzen platform and a 2060? no.

you're cutting corners in the wrong place. for these specs, tier b on our housed psu tier list is the minimum i'd be comfortable with. it's really weird to pay extra to go from a 3600 to a 3600x -- or as steve burke noted in his review, you're paying $50 for a letter -- and then use an old, group-regulated psu.

sta… just normal use may be a bit of light to mid gaming and small projects with photoshop i also want to try and work with adobe video editors i'm a student after all

honestly, all of these laptops are really just designed for web browsing and office. none of them are going to be able to play current aaa games. some indie games, but not current high end games. 

i would go with this one:

hp i5-7200u 8gb ddr4 1tb amd radeon r7 m440 4gb ddr3 760.52 usd

mainly, they are all about the same and it is cheaper. but this one has enough ram and dedicated gpu to do some light gaming. the 7500u model just has a higher clock cpu, it is not worth an extra $120. it is a dual core cpu, so video editing will be a challenge.

the 8250u is a 4 core/8 thread cpu. but with integrated graphics and 4gb of ram, those will be your bottlnecks in most cases. the extra threads will help with video editing, over the other cpus, but you may have issues due to limited ram.
