Review on ๐ป ASUS PN41 Fanless MiniPC Barebone: Intel 11th Gen Dual Core Celeron N4500, Dual 4K Support, WiFi, Bluetooth 5, VESA Mount by Ada Adaszek แ
I like everything, the quality is good, the price is reasonable.
I highly recommend purchasing a small USB fan for it. I myself plan to disassemble and see if there are power pins for the cooler inside. Perhaps it makes sense to just buy a small cooler inside for a pretty penny. It's strange that ASUS spared the fan for the version with the N6000 and put it only on the version with the N6005 with overclocked frequencies and a slightly more efficient GPU core. In general, there is not much difference between these versions in terms of performance. Both processors are 4-core with very fast graphics for an HTPC. Watching movies is no problem. : I disassembled the device, and there are no pins on the motherboard for connecting the cooler where the inscription CPU_FAN is. A massive heatsink is installed on the board, which is glued to the top cover of the mini-pc with three thermal pads. But there was a 3.5 mm audio jack, for which a hole was not drilled in the case on the front panel. But it doesn't seem to be connected, as it would be detected by the system as a device anyway.
- Compact Mini PC that fits everywhere and doesn't make any noise. The version with the Pentium Silver N6000 comes with a heatsink, so there's just nothing to make noise. Here you can put RAM up to 2933 MHz, which is very good. There is a two-channel mode. SSD fits 2280 format, but you can use any other smaller one.
- The layout inside is very dense, so it all heats up quite well. The processor under streaming from Kinopoisk can warm up to 70-75 degrees. In idle - up to 60, which is not so critical. Playing 4K movies also heats up the processor quite a lot. But there are no friezes and brakes. Ordinary movies in FullHD do not heat the machine at all. In my configuration, for some reason, there is a VGA connector, but there is no usual 3.5 mm audio jack. Consider this when buying. I do not need an audio jack, since the sound goes via HDMI to the TV.
