Fanless Industrial Mini PCs for Industrial Reliability
A fanless industrial mini PC runs without a cooling fan. It removes heat through a sealed metal chassis. Fewer moving parts means fewer points of failure, less dust intake, and less maintenance in factories, plants, and field installations.
Thinvent IPC5 and IPC3 industrial PCs use Intel® Core™ processors from the 12th and 13th generations. The range includes Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 models, including the i5-1240P, i5-1335U, i7-1255U and i3-1215U. Configurations offer 8GB to 64GB DDR4 RAM and 256GB to 1TB SSD storage. Each unit accepts a 12V 7A power adapter.
