Akasa Plato X8 Slim Fanless 8th Gen NUC Chassis

Akasa’s Plato X8 makes it possible to passively cool Intel’s newest 8th generation NUCs for totally silent computing!

The Akasa Plato X8 Fanless NUC chassis

Akasa’s aluminium Plato chassis has been updated specifically for Intel’s 8h generation NUCs. Just like other fanless NUC chassis from previous generation the Plato’s chassis passively cools the CPU without the need of any fans, making it now possible to cool the 8th gen NUC in pure silence.

As well as offering silent cooling for whichever CPU chosen, the Plato is able to accommodate a single 2.5” hard drive or SSD. Of course opting for a HDD rather than a SSD will mean there is some operational noise from the hard drive. We therefore recommend opting for a SSD to maintain the silent attributes this chassis offers. Please note that the maximum height of the installed hard drive can not exceed 9.5mm.

The chassis features two USB3.0 ports and has support for IR and dual microphones at the front of the case. At the rear, slots are available to utilise the full range of ports the 8th gen NUC offers along with a Kensinton lock.
