Compact Fanless Desktop for Industrial Use

The Partaker PA-3046 is a new fanless mini PC built around an Intel Core i5-8265U processor with 16GB DDR4 memory and a 256GB SSD. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and is Windows 11 ready. The aluminium chassis operates on a 9-36V DC supply via a Phoenix connector, making it suitable for embedded and vehicle deployments.

Ideal for Automation, Not for High-End Graphics

This system suits integrators who need multiple serial ports, four Gigabit LAN interfaces and dual independent displays in a silent, rugged enclosure. It is not for users who require discrete graphics performance, internal 3.5-inch drive bays or a conventional ATX power supply.

Quad-Core i5-8265U with 1.6GHz Base Clock

The onboard CPU provides four cores and eight threads, a 1.6GHz base frequency and a maximum turbo of 3.9GHz with 6MB cache. This fixed processor determines the compute ceiling for any workload the unit will handle.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the PA-3046 and where do I connect the 9-36 V supply?

Fix the aluminum alloy chassis with its mounting holes, then wire the 2-pin phoenix connector on the rear I/O for 9-36 V DC input.

Which parts can I upgrade later and what are the limits?

One DDR4 2133/2400 SODIMM slot supports up to 32 GB, and the M.2 M-key 2280 slot takes a SATA SSD; the CPU is soldered and not replaceable.

What thermal limit appears first during continuous full-load operation?

The fanless aluminum case relies on passive dissipation, so the i5-8265U will hit its 100 °C junction maximum and throttle before any other component.
