A fanless PC is a computer that cools itself without a fan. It moves heat through a sealed metal chassis instead. Because it has no moving fan, it has no fan to clog with dust and no fan bearing to wear out. Fanless PCs suit dusty, hot, or vibrating sites such as factory floors, kiosks, and control cabinets.
Thinvent's fanless industrial PCs use the Intel® Core™ i3-1215U processor. This 12th Generation processor has 6 cores, a maximum frequency of 4.4 GHz, and 10 MB of cache. Each model includes 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1 TB SSD. A 12V 7A adapter powers the unit.
