Gigabyte has unveiled its new BRIX GB-EKi3A-7100 fanless mini-PC.

The tiny computer boasts an Intel 7th-gen Core i3 processor with a TDP of 15W, allowing it to function without active cooling.

The chassis is designed to act as a passive cooling system for the CPU, meaning the device is completely silent.

The BRIX features numerous connectivity options, including a 3.5mm audio jack, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, Ethernet, USB 3.0 Type-A, and USB 3.1 Type-C.

Users will have to purchase storage and RAM independently – the PC supports two SO-DIMM DDR4 memory modules (up to 32GB) and a single M.2 SSD.

The chassis also includes a VESA mounting bracket.

There is currently no release date or pricing information available.
