cirrus7 incus clarification

It can be confusing sometimes: This graphic illustrates all available chipset options and I/O ports for the cirrus7 incus. The incus features a modular structure for variable numbers of cooling fins, enabling higher cooling capacity based on the specific configuration and workload. Available in several cooling editions, including Standard, Extended, and Extreme, the dimensions and cooling performance vary to accommodate different CPU TDPs. 

Silence, at last

UK's edge manufacturer

Not all enclosures are built for edge. Standard chassis can’t handle the pressure that ruggedized systems can for defense, industrial, and mission-critical deployments. Tranquil IT (creator of the very first fanless NUC case) designs and manufactures your project using state-of-the-art CNC tools.

Turemetal magic?

We find it hard to believe but apparently Turemetal's UP3 heat sink case keeps the 125W Core Ultra 7 265K under 80°C under full load. The UP3 measures just 300 x 300 x 200mm and is designed to handle CPUs up to 70W TDP. Still a great-looking build, featuring the kind of thick 8mm heat pipes we'd love to see more often.

Custom 7.5L Strix Halo system

"This is my custom project of a completely passive Strix Halo system based on the Framework Desktop Mainboard featuring an "AMD AI MAX+ 395" (how I hate that name) with 64GB unified memory. It is definitely not a rational or cost effective undertaking but rather a tinkering project, trying something new and see how it turns out.

Will the thermal concept work out? Only one way to find out. Theoretically, the heatsink should be capable of dissipating 140W when I manage to get it up to 60°C, which of course necessitates that the APU is running very hot. I would hope it will work also under load without too much thermal throttling but that is what I shall find out."

Such a unique and promising build, follow the journey on SFF Network.

It's all about compromise

Silent operation has its trade-offs: Fanless NUC cases are always bigger than the original actively-cooled systems, sometimes comically so. While the NUC motherboard might look a bit lost in the Akasa Maxwell case, it's a small price to pay for superior reliability, and total silence.

The $120 fanless PC

This $119.99 fanless mini PC is currently the cheapest fanless N100 machine available. Featuring a vertical chassis it's also convection-friendly. This mini desktop is well-suited for light office tasks, web browsing, and HTPC duties handling 4K video playback. Its small form factor and energy efficiency make it a suitable option for digital signage or a dedicated thin client in a corporate or educational setting. Being Intel-based, this PC offers more flexibility and software compatibility compared to some ARM-based alternatives like the Raspberry Pi.
