partaker Mini-PC Barebone i5-3317U 8GB DDR3 128GB SSD 1TB HDD

Compact fanless desktop for office and kiosk use

The Partaker mini PC is a barebone system built around an Intel Core i5-3317U dual-core processor running at 1.70 GHz with up to 2.60 GHz turbo. It ships with 8 GB of DDR3 memory, a 128 GB mSATA SSD and a 1 TB 2.5-inch hard drive. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed and activated, and the aluminium chassis measures 29 mm thick. Dual video outputs via HDMI and VGA support 4K ultra-HD playback for digital signage or multi-monitor productivity.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 17 W TDP processor maintains its base frequency during extended tasks because the fanless design relies on the full aluminium case as a heatsink. Manufacturer data notes a theoretical maximum draw of 15 W and real-world peak of 8.7 W, with a TDP-down mode of 7.5 W. This thermal envelope suits continuous light workloads such as web browsing, document editing or video streaming, but prolonged heavy compute will trigger throttling once the chassis reaches its saturation point.

Thermals noise and power

With no moving parts the system runs completely silent in normal use. The maker states the case temperature is controlled between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius under typical load. Power consumption stays low, peaking around 8.7 W in real scenarios and well within the 20 W budget quoted for the platform. The single-channel DDR3 memory operates at 1.5 V, and the 64-bit Windows 10 Pro environment keeps driver overhead minimal for steady, cool operation.
