[QUOTE="Dominiccc, post: 1158479, member: 155249"] The unit I bought on Ebay for £65 upgraded to Windows 10 using the upgrade tool from the Microsoft website without any problems. It came with a US (I believe) connector on the PSU and a reasonable snug fit PSU adapter so I can plug it in my UK mains socket. The only paperwork included, just a drawing of how to connect it up really, described it as an "Intel Compute box i8" I've ordered a couple of different cheap heatsinks and some thermal paste from Ebay to add some additional cooling. Does anybody know what the small push switch on the top right hand corner of the PCB is for? Its quite close to the WIFI connector but that may not be relevant.There is also the word "resent" which might be Chinese for "reset" I suppose. I haven't pressed it yet in case it does something nasty to my BIOS settings! I will use HWMonitor1.28x32 for monitoring the core and GPU temperatures before and after adding the heatsinks and IntelBurnTest to stress the CPU. [ATTACH=full]171050[/ATTACH] __[ATTACH=full]171049[/ATTACH] When I unscrewed the PCB I noticed that the the heat transfer soft silicon strip only half covered the PCB heat transfer pad (see pic in next post) so I moved it across 1cm to fully cover it.
