Passively cooled computing systems are very popular among consumers who are concerned about the reliability of moving parts, fan noise, and other related maintenance requirements (especially for industrial use cases). Traditionally, high performance fanless PCs have come with high price tags. However, with a focus on low-power U-series CPUs by Intel, we have many vendors that target this market segment with an affordable model. Habey and Shuttle both have a history of delivering high performance fanless PC industry. Today, we see two systems of Kaby Lake-U - Habey BIS-6862-I3 and DS77U Shuttle.
introduction
Industrial PCs come with stringent requirements not met by generic PCs. It is a habit for builders to use active cooling to ensure that components are in the correct working order. Ventilation slots are also provided to keep the airflow up. The size of the chassis is also not always a concern. However, this flexibility is not always possible in industrial PCs. Operating environments for such systems usually require passive cooling, dustproof, coarse properties and minimal size.
Habey's BIS-6922 has been subject to our evaluation. It comes with a 45W TDP CPU (Core i7-3720QM); however, the chassis design is powerful enough to handle without any problems. The BIS-6862-I3 we evaluate today uses the Core i3-7100U TDP of 15W. The chassis design is simpler, with the jagged segment limited only to the upper side. The processor has a 7.5W-configurable TDP for low-power operation.
The gallery below presents some teardown photos. Notice the copper blocks mounted on the top panel that serves as the heat sink. We will investigate its effectiveness in the thermal performance section.
The Shuttle XPC Slim DS77U is the first fanless Shuttle system we evaluated. It uses Celeron 15W 3865U, which has a 10W TDP that can be configured for low power operation.
The full specifications of the Habey BIS-6862-I3 and Shuttle DS77U review units are summarized in the table below. Note that the configuration available for purchase is barebone, and consumers are expected to supply RAM and storage drives to complete its creation. However, our review unit has been pre-configured by the vendor with the specified component.
In addition to the main unit, the Habey BIS-6862-I3 comes with a 65W (19V @ 3.42A) power adapter, an HDMI cable, a pair of dipole antennas for WLAN cards, and screws for installing M.2 cards. The DS77U Shuttle also comes with a 65W power adapter (19V @ 3.42A). Other components of the package include a standing mount for chassis, screws for internal drives, and DVD drivers.
In the table below, we have an overview of the various systems we compare with the Habey BIS-6862-I3 and DS77U Shuttle. Note that they may not be the same market segment. Relevant machine configuration details are provided so readers can understand why some benchmark numbers are tilted for or against the review system as we arrive at that section.
