Duo of Rockchip PCs

"The Radxa E24C is a cheaper, lower-performance model that features a Rockchip RK3528A quad-core processor and support for up to 8GB of RAM, while the Radxa E54C looks nearly identical, but comes with up to 32GB of RAM and has much faster Rockchip RK3582 hexa-core chip. Prices start at $35 for the E24C and $55 for the E54.

Both boards feature aluminum cases for passive heat dissipation, but you can also add a fan if you want active cooling. Both support an optional eMMC module for onboard storage, and both also have M.2 2280 connectors for an optional PCIe 2.1 NVMe SSD or other add-ons, as well as a microSD card reader."

Shuttle NE10N launched

Shuttle unveils its most stylish fanless PC to date, and we're not impressed, at all. Shuttle seems to have focused on outward appearance at the expense of cooling. The NE10N features an internal CPU cooler in a case that prevents convection to occur. In fact, it looks like it's designed like an actively-cooled PC, with small vents at the back. The NE10N uses an Intel N100 processor, which, despite its modest 6W TDP, has a tendency to run very hot. The 135 x 115 x 39mm barebone supports one M.2 NVMe SSD, one DDR4 module, and is already available in France for 290 euros.

MINIX on the cheap

MINIX's popular fanless mini PCs are cheaper than ever for Amazon's Prime Day. The original N100-powered system now retails under $200, while the newer N150 model is $225. The more powerful N300 unit is now $280, and the flagship N350-0db retails for less than $300. Recommended.

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.

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.
