ASRock's Thin mini-ITX trio




ASRock launches the H810TM-ITX Thin mini-ITX motherboard for all-in-ones, kiosks, and fanless PC cases of course. Two other Thin mini-ITX boards are also coming soon, the higher-end B860TM-ITX and Q870TM-ITX. The H810 board uses an Intel LGA 1851 socket, supporting Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors with a TDP of up to 65W. It features two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots that can accommodate up to 128GB of memory. It supports both standard SO-DIMM and CSO-DIMM, with the latter allowing for higher speeds up to 6400MHz.

Despite its small size, the H810TM-ITX offers four storage options: two M.2 slots for SSDs (one supporting PCIe Gen5 x4 and the other PCIe Gen4 x4) and two SATA3 ports. For display output, the motherboard is exceptionally versatile, with up to five physical outputs—DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports (one internal), and LVDS—that can drive three independent displays simultaneously.

The 30TB SSD is here




What a time to be alive. SABRENT's 30TB U.2 SSD is now available for $4,410. This incredible piece of hardware is a high-capacity, high-performance SSD specifically engineered for demanding enterprise environments. Its features are tailored for servers, data centers, and other mission-critical applications. You can expect sequential read speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,800 MB/s. Built to endure tough workloads, the drive has an endurance rating of one drive write per day, which means it can handle a full 30.72TB of data being written to it every day for the duration of its warranty. This translates to over 56 petabytes written during its lifetime.

If it works it works


"I had an old Zotac mini PC, it was fanless and really only had a slab of aluminum for a heatsink. I cut out the top of the plastic case so that I could fit first an AM4 heatsink, then on top of that a stock Intel heatsink and last but not least a cooler master hyper 212 tower cooler. It actually worked well enough to keep the CPU from constantly throttling."

Passive Core Ultra 7 155H




To our knowledge, this is the first fanless PC to feature the mighty Core Ultra 7 155H. This unit supports up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, dual M.2 NVMe SSDs, and features six 2.5G LAN ports, making it ideal for use as a micro router or firewall appliance with software like OPNsense. For connectivity, the device includes an interesting SIM slot for 5G cellular data, built-in WiFi, and the ability to drive three 4K displays simultaneously. This model comes with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD for just $599.99. We're curious thermals though, the heat sink case looks small and this CPU can consume up to a whopping 115W for short bursts to achieve maximum performance.

Turing is king





The Akasa Turing is a series of fanless cases designed for the NUC and other small form factor motherboards from brands like ASUS and Gigabyte. The case's body is made of solid aluminum, which acts as a large heat sink to dissipate heat from the CPU without the need for a fan. The case features bi-symmetrical extruded fins on the exterior to maximize the surface area for heat dissipation. It also incorporates an internal thermal module with copper heat pipes. Multiple users report that the NUC runs cooler in this fanless case than in its original actively-cooled chassis.

Ethernet Overload




This Qotom mini PC features an Intel Core i3-10110U processor and comes equipped with an impressive array of eight 2.5G LAN ports, making it well-suited for networking applications like a firewall or router. The system also supports AES-NI, a set of instructions that accelerates data encryption and decryption. This particular model is a barebone unit, meaning it doesn't include RAM or an SSD, so those components must be purchased separately. It's available under $230.
