THE TVS-682-I3-8G INTERIOR

As with most QNAP NAS taking off the top/side cover just requires removing the three screws holding it at the rear.

QNAP has used an 80 Plus Bronze certified 250W PSU from FSP Group.

Although the PCIe Gen3x4 slot is a low-profile one the Gen3x16 is a full size one and can be used even with PCIe SSDs (NVMe included).

A large heatsink is placed over the CPU and there's also a blower fan right next to it.

I was surprised to see that QNAP placed 2 microphone 6.3mm inputs in the TVS-682 for use with their OceanKTV karaoke app.

The mainboard used in the TVS-682 takes regular DIMMs and by default it comes with two DDR4 modules running at 2133MHz by Transcend.

As usual the 512MB DOM flash memory module is supplied by Apacer.

We also see a field programmable gate array and a voltage regulator.

A medium-sized black heatsink is placed right over the Northbridge which is located just over the RAM slots.

Since the TVS-682 can be used with 10G/40G cards we used one of our LAN-10G2T-U cards.

As expected each drive bay has its very own activity LED but again unlike most QNAP NAS the TVS-682 also has a vertical blue LED right next to the power button.
