The Turing A50 has been designed specifically to support the mainboards found inside the Asus Mini PC PN50 series, which features the latest AMD Ryzen 4000 notebook PC mobile processors in conjunction with Radeon graphics.
It seems that passively cooled chassis are making a return, meet the new Turing A50. Announced back in December it is available now. This model is fitting for the Asus PN50 mini PCs. This range uses AMD's Ryzen 4000 mobile chips, from the quad-core Ryzen 3 4300U to the Ryzen 7 4800U with eight cores. According to the manufacturer, the housing is able to provide all versions with sufficient cooling.
The Turing A50 is a product at the forefront of fanless technology and combines innovative style with solid functionality in order to create a contemporary Ryzen™ fanless system.
The Passive Cooler Case
The Asus Mini PC PN50 series can feature some of the latest AMD mobile processors: the Ryzen™ 3, 5 and 7. Whichever you choose, the Turing A50 will be able to keep the APU cool under all working conditions to optimise performance in complete silence. The case utilises fanless technology, where the solid aluminium core that showcases hi-performance AK-TC5026 thermal compound and gap fillers, efficiently transfers heat from the APU. With
the chassis itself working as a heatsink, the excess heat from the APU is then transferred to the external fins via the aluminium core and into the surroundings, keeping the APU cool without the need of a noisy fan. Built with deep cooling fins to maximise the surface area and an aluminium casing, the system functions optimally whilst also existing as a completely silent component.
Design
The Turing A50 is yet another product from Akasa showing a combination of functionality with stunning composition; its symmetric extruding fins and diamond effect cover panels are all made from black anodised aluminium. The Turing A50 looks stylish and suits any environment due to its minimalist features. The design team was inspired by Art Deco when designing the case, with the beautiful side panels influenced by traditional Chinese panels. The chassis can be positioned horizontally with dual edge panels or vertically, allowing for more choice according to your taste.
The Turing A50 chassis maintains this compact manner and measures just 95 x 113.5 x 247.9 mm. This means the case can easily complement a home audio or cinema system on a shelf or desk. It can also be comfortably tucked into a drawer or mounted behind a screen, making it ideal for any environment.
With all the ports and power of the Asus Mini PC PN50 series, there is no limit as to what your computer can do. The Turing A50 gives full I/O access to the Mini PC, which includes USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0 and RJ45 LAN. Combined with products such as Wi-Fi antenna and cables, which are noted on the Akasa website, this small yet powerful computer is a perfect Ryzen™ fanless system for a variety of applications which includes, but is not limited to, gaming, recording and mixing music, or even an office setup. The computer also supports a quadruple Intel® 4K UHD display (with the use of any Type-C to dual HDMI adapter such as the Akasa AK-CBCA26-18BK), perfect for maximising productivity when multitasking across multiple screens, which the Turing A50 allows you to enjoy in absolute silence.
You can find the chassis for roughly 150 USD in retail.
