Summary
DeepCool showcased a prototype mini-PC at Computex 2026 that solves SFF cooling issues by cutting a hole in the top panel and mounting a full-size desktop CPU cooler (DeepCool Assassin V) externally above the chassis. This unconventional approach allows for better thermal performance in a small form factor without redesigning the case for a low-profile cooler.
