ZOTAC Introduces C Series Passively Cooled Mini PCs - ZBOX CI660, CI640, and CI620 nano



Featuring an all-new design with maximum breathability and more powerful passive cooling hardware capable of handling up to a 25W TDP processor allow it to be equipped up to an 8th gen Intel Core i7 level processor for the first time in the C Series passive cooled lineup.
HONG KONG – August 9th, 2018 – ZOTAC Technology, a global manufacturer of innovation, is excited to present the most powerful passive cooled Mini PC – the ZBOX CI660 nano. Powered by an 8 th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 hardware, it’s the very first C Series Mini PC to feature an Intel® Core™ i7 level processor.
The ZBOX CI660 nano is branded with an all-new design complete from the ground up. Wrapped in a pattern of nature’s strong natural structures, the honeycomb, it has since become synonymous with the C Series passive cool line of Mini PCs. 90% of the surface area is designed with open ventilation for maximum breathability. Using a dual tone black and white color scheme with a matte finish, it brings a modern, timeless design to the usually squared dimension.
The all-new ZBOX C Series Mini PC is equipped with a more powerful passive cooling hardware, capable of handling up to a 25W TDP processor. That’s up to 66% more passive cooling power than previous generation C Series Mini PCs. Utilizing a wide array aluminum fin block that completely encompasses the internals and in combination with a design featuring a 270 degree of maximum breathability, both features enable the passive cooling hardware to be strong. With two available SO-DIMM memory slots, it’s able to handle up to 32GB of DDR4 2400 memory. Featuring 2x USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C ports and 5x USB 3.0 ports, the target expansion capability rivals some larger systems in addition with Bluetooth 4.2, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Dual Gigabit LAN ports, DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 for 4K @ 60Hz support.

The CPU+GPU is 15W, so I assume that the other 10W are for the motherboard, memory, drive, etc.
Not bad for a passive build.

25w could have afforded a Ryzen 7 2700U. Missed opportunity
