Industrial fanless mini PC

The Partaker PA-3046 is a compact barebone system built around an 8th-generation Intel Core i5 quad-core processor. It arrives with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB SATA SSD installed, ready for Windows 11 or Linux Ubuntu. Passive aluminium cooling keeps operation completely silent while supporting a wide 9-36V DC input with polarity protection.

Suited for embedded and edge deployments

This unit fits industrial automation, digital signage and network appliance roles that demand four Intel I211-AT gigabit LAN ports and four COM ports with RS232/422/485 flexibility. VESA, DIN-rail, wall and desktop mounting options simplify integration into cabinets or machinery. Buyers who require active cooling, discrete graphics or a different processor generation should consider other platforms.

Storage limited to SATA interface

The board provides one M.2 2280 slot and one 2.5-inch bay, both wired for SATA only, with RAID 0/1 support across the two drives. A single SO-DIMM slot accepts up to 32GB of DDR4, and a Mini PCIe slot with SIM holder enables 4G or Wi-Fi expansion. TPM 2.0, watchdog timer and wake-on-LAN complete the feature set for unattended operation.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16 GB DDR4 / 256 GB SATA configuration or add more memory or storage?

The unit ships with 16 GB DDR4 in a single SO-DIMM slot and a 256 GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD. You can expand to 32 GB DDR4 total and add a 2.5-inch SATA drive for RAID 0 or 1.

What does the 15 W TDP mean for daily use in a fanless chassis?

A 15 W TDP allows the quad-core i5 8th Gen processor to run at full speed without a fan. The aluminium case dissipates heat passively, so the system stays silent while delivering steady performance for industrial workloads.

The spec lists 4× Intel I211-AT LAN ports — what speed do they actually deliver?

Each I211-AT controller provides a 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet link. With four independent ports you can run separate networks, link aggregation or firewall rules at full gigabit throughput per port.
