    • Very Capable Little Computer - Passive Heatsink is Excellent
Color: Zimaboard 832 8g/32g
Review Image by RoundelMike RoundelMike
Review Image by RoundelMike RoundelMike
I bought the ZimaBoard as a small server for my barn which lacks heating and air conditioning. The ZimaBoard's big heatsink looks perfect, and removes the possibility of a fan failing in the harsh environment. It hasn't faced summertime heat yet, but it runs cool so far. I'll update this review if something goes wrong when the hot weather arrives. It seems like the ZimaBoard would be comparable to the Raspberry Pi 4, but as much as I love the RasPi and the company's mission, the ZimaBoard is really in a different league. It seems snappy, and my benchmarking confirms it: The ZimaBoard is much faster, and it runs amd64 architecture which is nice. It has a bigger footprint than the RasPi, but it's still tiny. Quality is far nicer than I expected at this price point, and it feels heavy and solid. So far so good. It appears that this will be a great little headless server, and might even have enough grunt for desktop use. UPDATE 07/23/2023: It's summertime and my ZimaBoard has stayed up without a hitch, even in an environment without air conditioning. This week I moved 7TB of data through it with rsync, which caused a continuous load of about 35% CPU usage for 24 hours, and it handled the task, no problem. And this was during a heat wave with 100°F (~38°C) daytime temps. Once the CPU nears 50°C it throttles down, keeping temps in check, and without much performance hit in my case. Turns out, the ZimaBoard is as rugged as it looks, and the passive heatsink does its job, even in the heat. UPDATE 08/05/2024 It's been two snowy winters and two very hot summers and my Zimaboard has been rock solid, all without climate control. Aside from reboots from updates or the occasional power outage, it's been up and available, no hiccups, no drama. During an especially frigid stretch last winter I threw a shoebox over it for a couple days, but I doubt if it even needed it. I always know that when I SSH over to it, it'll answer. Couldn't be happier. ... show more

    • Very outdated build
Color: Zimaboard 832 8g/32g
Overall the device is okay however the device came with several issues which had to be fixed straight off the bat. The CasaOS version was several revisions out of data arriving with version 0.4.1, the current version being 0.4.9. I was wondering why it was so out of date and then I noticed that apt was giving me key signature errors.. I was like okay that doesn't seem great. Turned out that the date was so incorrect the ntp server was rejecting the connection from the device. I had to set the ntp sync to manual, manually adjust the date and then set it back to manual and reboot the service. Once that happened I had 557 out of date packages. After rebooting the zimaboard, I resolved most of the update issues like fixing the samba config, updating the casaos image and fixing broken packages. The overall security by default is pretty abysmal so I highly suggest to setup the device with no ports forwarded/exposed on your network. All in all the product is good just as long as you know your way around linux administration and troubleshooting as you may run into problems. ... show more

    • This thing is awesome
Color: Zimaboard 832 8g/32g
I turned this into an 8tb storage server that is now running 3 vm's and 4 containers and is an absolute beast on my tiny home network. Very good bang for the buck and am very happy with it, even though i did end up getting rid of the stock operating system in favor of pure debian.

The ZimaBoard is a x86 PC in a very small form factor. It comes with "CasaOS" installed but you can just as easily attach a external SSD and install Windows 10 or Ubuntu (Linux) with no problems. For those OSes I would strongly recommend getting the 8GB RAM model, they both work with 4GB but there isn't much free RAM left. Ubuntu is noticeably snappier than Windows 10 with 4GB. There's a couple of important issues to know about using the ZimaBoard in a Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) environment, though some of these points are common to any OS: 1. Wake on LAN is not supported. This is because the ZimaBoard uses the aging and buggy Realtek RTL8168 chip. Windows 10 will only let you install the Realtek "rt640x64.sys" driver from 2015 that does not support Wake on LAN and no combination of any system setting or registry hacking will disable the automatic driver installation. This behavior overrides Realtek's driver installer too, so that won't work. There's no way to use modern Realtek NIC drivers, period. Maybe on Ubuntu it's better but I didn't try further. 2. Sometimes Zima gets into a weird state and will not power on. Plugging in the power cable makes the power light flash once and turn off. To fix this you have to disassemble the case and unplug the CMOS battery which is thankfully socketed, then power it up. I've observed this happens the most when any kind of sleep or hibernation feature turns on. If you didn't know this, you'd just think it was dead and return it as junk. Be sure to disable all sleep, hibernation, and power saving OS options to avoid this. 3. Because both wake on LAN and sleep/hibernation are broken the ZimaBoard can never operate in a low power mode. You can experiment with throttling controls (easier to do in Ubuntu) to try to make it as slow as possible but the power savings don't come close to supporting real sleep/hibernation. Consider the ZimaBoard to be an always-on PC and budget electricity and heat for it accordingly (the heatsink does get quite warm when active, when idle it's warm to the touch but not overly so). 4. Out of the box both CasaOS and Windows 10 assume hibernation works which means your device will turn off after 30 minutes and never turn on again until you cycle the power and/or the CMOS battery connection. It's a big "gotcha" for new users that is very poorly documented by the ZimaBoard makers. 5. ZimaBoard is billed as "hackable" but is NOT open source. There are no schematics available, no documentation that I could find for any of the connectors, no listing of the components used unless you want to physically take it apart and look at all the chips. The documentation that is available is very poor, sparse, and only focuses on the most superficial applications like media streaming. 6. There is no internal sound device and no audio output over the mini Display Port connector. It has a "Intel Apollo Lake SoC - High Definition Audio Controller" peripheral but doesn't expose any output device for applications to use. You'll have to add a USB or PCIe sound device and connect it externally through an analog output. There's also no built-in Wi-Fi or bluetooth. So budget the two USB ports carefully. Now despite all that it worked for my application; I connected the two Ethernet ports directly to two different Windows 10 computers and use the ZimaBoard to share a 500GB SSD to both devices, mapped as a network drive. This allows for fast and easy file sharing across both machines on a private network that isn't online. In addition Remote Desktop works extremely well so you can administer the system with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse attached. I'm really pleased that it met this specific need so perfectly. Not happy about the lack of sleep/hibernation though. The ZimaBoard concept is cool, and they have an almost-good idea. It needs a substantially better NIC chipset, more documentation, and needs to feel less like a Kickstarter project that died after they shipped the product. The bulk of tech support is through Discord only and it's very poor, plus no solutions are saved or browsable for future use given the fleeing nature of Discord. It took a lot of searching to find information that they should just be throwing on to a wiki somewhere. The NIC is fast enough to stream 1080p media to another device for decoding, but it can't keep up the video decoding itself (missing audio aside). Likewise it performs well when the desktop is in 1080p but lags considerably when in 4K. I can't really recommend the ZimaBoard unless your use case is very similar to mine and you don't mind the caveats I described. I do really like it for my application and it's much nicer construction quality than other cheap Mini PCs. It has a lot of potential as a NAS or other network device. Included are screenshots of system info from CPU-Z and HWINFO so you can see the system specs. ... show more

    • Works well and very silent
Color: Zimaboard 832 8g/32g
I ordered a few of these and velcroed them to the back of my monitor with a small switch, they've been running for a few months now non-stop without a single issue. I even forget they're even there since it's so quiet. 2 or 3 of these can run Windows Server 2019 or Server 2022 as ADDC/DNS for a small company. I load-tested 2 of them running Windows 2019 with 400 users hitting the Zimaboard simulating logins and they didn't break a sweat, CPU usage hovered around 30% on the primary and 22% on the second. No heat issues. Highly recommended ... show more
