The case seems to be an Akasa model, or an OEM variant, which rates passive cooling CPUs up to 35W TDP, so 45W cpus offered seems to be pushing it.
I'll probably get one of these, or a Broadwell version when released, once my Novena arrives, to run any x86/Windows only software.
- xorcist 12y agoI can recommend (no affiliation) HD-Plex passive cases, if that's what you're after. It cools 65W, which is not enough for the most powerful desktop CPU's, but gives you much more power than the Akasa box. It's sold as a barebone to the HTPC crowd but has worked great for me as a general workstation (with no moving parts if you go for an SSD).
- johnohara 12y agoHey, thanks for posting this. Very nice.
- zantana 12y agoIndeed. I bought the i3 nuc to run my home lab and have been very happy. I really want something with more cores/memory which won't break the bank. I keep hoping for another nuc in that space, but it looks like I will have to start browsing those chinese sites.
