A fanless NUC computer is a small, compact PC that cools itself without a fan. The case works as a passive heatsink, so no moving parts draw in dust or wear out. This design suits dusty, hot, or vibration-prone sites where fan failure would stop the system.
The Thinvent range includes fanless industrial PCs built on Intel Core processors. The IPC5 uses Intel Core i5-1240P (12 cores, up to 4.4 GHz, 12 MB cache) and Intel Core i7-1255U (10 cores, up to 4.7 GHz, 12 MB cache). The IPC3 uses Intel Core i3-1215U (6 cores, up to 4.4 GHz, 10 MB cache). Configurations offer 8 GB to 64 GB DDR4 RAM and 256 GB to 1 TB SSD storage. A 12V 7A adapter powers the units.
