A fanless NUC-style PC is a small computer with no cooling fan. It removes heat through a sealed metal chassis, so it has no moving parts that collect dust or wear out. The result is quieter operation and fewer maintenance tasks in dusty, hot, or vibration-prone locations.
Thinvent's IPC3 is a fanless industrial PC in the compact NUC form factor. Each IPC3 model uses an Intel Core i3-1215U processor from the 12th generation. The processor has 6 cores, a maximum frequency of 4.4 GHz, and 10 MB of cache. Each unit includes 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1 TB SSD. A 12V 10A power adapter is included.
