Akasa launches new chassis to create “fanless” systems

Computers with passive dissipation offer important advantages. Akasa knows this, and for this reason it has presented new chassis that allow converting compact equipment, and with active dissipation, into systems with totally passive dissipation.

For example, the Asus PN50/51 and Gigabyte BRIX mini PCs use ultra-low power AMD Ryzen chips, but still have active cooling systems. This means that they are not completely silent, and that under certain circumstances, such as when we use it intensively, they can become a bit noisy.

Akasa has introduced two new cases that allow us to convert those mini PCs from ASUS and Gigabyte in completely silent equipment, thanks to the passive cooling system that they include, and that rotates around the entire chassis. In effect, this means that the heat is also dissipated by distributing it through all the metal parts of the chassis.

At the moment Akasa has presented two versions, the Turing ABX box and the Akasa Newton A50. The first has a volume of 2.9 liters, which means that it is quite small, and can passively dissipate a computer with a chip of up to 25 watts, that is, can with a Ryzen 7 4800U. This chassis has all the necessary cutouts for proper port layout, comes with a huge aluminum radiator, and also has another small aluminum radiator for the SSD. This chassis can be placed vertically or horizontally.

For its part, the Akasa Newton A50 has a size much more compact (1.3 liters), and its cooling system is more dependent on the chassis due to its small size. Despite everything, this device can also handle devices with chips up to 25 watts. It is designed for horizontal use, made of aluminum and also has passive dissipation for the SSD, in addition to the cutouts for the corresponding ports.

They are two very interesting solutions, but keep in mind that, as we have said, what Akasa sells is the chassis, and not a complete PC.
