Fanless Intel Industrial PCs
A fanless Intel industrial PC runs an Intel Core processor without an internal fan. Heat leaves the case through a passive aluminium heatsink. The system has no moving air intake, so dust does not build up inside the case. This suits factory floors, kiosks, machine control cabinets and other sites where fan noise or dust causes problems.
Thinvent fanless industrial PCs use 12th and 13th generation Intel Core processors. The range includes Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 models. The Core i5-1240P has 12 cores, a maximum frequency of 4.4 GHz and 12 MB of cache. The Core i7-1255U has 10 cores, a maximum frequency of 4.7 GHz and 12 MB of cache. The Core i3-1215U has 6 cores, a maximum frequency of 4.4 GHz and 10 MB of cache. The Core i5-1335U is a 13th generation model with 10 cores, a maximum frequency of 4.6 GHz and 12 MB of cache.
Memory options run from 8 GB to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM. Storage options run from 256 GB to 1 TB of SSD. Power comes from a 12V 7A adapter. Some models include dual LAN ports. Some include dual band WiFi. Others have no WiFi. Operating system options include Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 IoT Value, Ubuntu Linux, DOS and no operating system.

Use Cases
Fanless Intel PCs fit machine vision, data logging, factory automation, digital signage, kiosks and transport systems. The sealed design reduces dust ingress and removes fan wear as a failure point. The Core i7 and Core i5 models suit tasks that need more processing power, such as image analysis. The Core i3 model suits control and monitoring tasks with lower processing needs.
