Which kind of cooling is being used?

All our XPC products have an integrated heatpipe cooling with one to four copper pipes, transporting heat to cooling fins. Some XPC models don&#039;t even need an active fan to keep the PC quiet and stable. Others use one or two fans with smart RPM-speed control for low noise operation and maximum stability.</description>

The purpose of the run.exe file is to obtain admin rights first so that all drivers can be installed automatically without users ha…</description>

Does a PCI-E x4 card fit in a x16 slot?

I just purchased a Shuttle XPC cube Barebone. It has only one PCI-E x16 slot, however I have an old PCI-E x4 card. Can I use this card with the PCI-E x16 slot?

Yes, a single-lane PCI-E (x1) card can be inserted into a multi-lane slot (PCI-E x4, PCI-E x8, etc.), but may not fit into a smaller PCI-E slot (e.g. a PCI-E x16 card in a x8 slot). However, some motherboards have PCI-E slots that use open-ended sockets to permit physica…</description>

What is a Barebone?

Barebones are semi-finished PCs. At Shuttle, these consist of a Mini-PC case, power supply, cooling system and mainboard. To complete your barebone you need a processor (if not already soldered on the mainboard), some memory, the required drives and sometimes a graphics card. So accordingly an operational Mini-PC is no longer a barebone.</description>
