Laptop CPU on a full motherboard

[SaintDito]

HI,

I know that allot of people have gotten HexOS to work on N100 CPUs and the like which is promising, however i wanted to inquire if anyone has used a transplanted laptop CPU on a full size motherboard for this application?

Something like this: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807333040024.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa#nav-review

 

Thank you

@SaintDito Not that I have seen; you'd probably better served by other forums where this is addressed specifically. However, if you DO pull it off, please follow up here and share your experience!

I should provide an update for this... It Works.

My hardware is as follows: (built shortly after this post)

the linked motherboard-CPU combo (unit?) above (thermalright AXP90 cooler)

32 GB of DDR4

LSI 9240-8I HBA

3 (now 4) 4tB Seagate Ironwolf Pro HDDs (fourth was added a week or so ago with little fanfare)

Jonsbo N4 (with an additional fan on a 3D printed stand for the HBA)

silverstone 450w SFX PSU

 

After building the system i did quite a bit of tinkering, i am running the following services:

Immich, Jellyfin, Jellyseer, pihole, portainer, tailscale and a some VMs

 

The above taken into account, i have spent a fair amount of time within the TrueNAS UI which is both less and more intimidating than its reputation indicates.

 

Let me know if you have any questions (i will do my best to answer them).
