Industrial Fanless Desktop for Embedded Control

The Partaker I27 is a fanless industrial desktop built around an Intel Core i3-7167U dual-core processor running at 2.80 GHz with Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD, plus Windows 10 Pro installed and Windows 11 ready. Six COM ports with RS232, RS422 and RS485 switching, dual Intel LAN, GPIO, VGA, HDMI and PS/2 give it broad legacy and modern I/O for machine automation, kiosk or edge gateway roles.

Upgrade Path from Older Fanless Units

This unit replaces earlier fanless boxes that used the i3-6157U or similar 14 nm dual-core chips, moving from Iris 550 to Iris Plus 650 graphics and a higher base clock. The jump is worth it when you need slightly stronger single-thread performance for real-time I/O handling or when your software stack requires the instruction-set improvements in the 7th generation core. It is not for buyers who need four or more cores, higher turbo frequencies or the lower 15 W TDP envelope found in the i5-8250U and i7-8550U options on the same motherboard.

Straightforward Mounting and Expansion

Mounting ears let you bolt the chassis directly to a DIN rail, wall or cabinet without extra brackets. The single SO-DIMM slot accepts up to 32 GB of DDR4-2400, while storage uses one mSATA, one M.2 2280 (SATA or NVMe) and one 2.5 inch bay. Dual half-size and full-size Mini PCIe slots with a SIM holder handle Wi-Fi or 4G modules. Common pitfalls: forgetting to enable the COM port mode in BIOS before wiring RS422 or RS485, and assuming the M.2 slot is NVMe-only when it also supports SATA drives.
