Compulab Airtop3: silent fanless workstation
Up to 128 GB RAM, up to 7 displays, 5-year warranty. Shipped worldwide.Official Compulab distributor
The Compulab Airtop3 is a fanless PC for desk and workstation use. A passive cooling design with no moving parts keeps it completely silent, yet it takes up to a 95 W Intel Xeon or Core i9 processor, up to 128 GB of RAM and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. nesevo is an official Compulab distributor: we stock, configure and ship the Airtop3 worldwide.

Why the Airtop3
- Fanless cooling by Natural Airflow Technology: silent, with no moving parts
- Intel Xeon E or Core i9-9900K 8-core CPU, optional dedicated NVIDIA graphics up to GeForce RTX 4060
- Up to 128 GB RAM and 6 storage devices
- Rich networking and I/O with support for FACE extension modules
- Compact 7.5-litre all-aluminium housing with tool-free service
- Wide temperature range, optionally -40 °C to 70 °C
- 5-year manufacturer warranty
Silent performance without fans
Airtop3 uses Compulab’s natural airflow technology: the heat of the CPU and GPU creates the air flow through the aluminium case, up to 300 W in total. Without fans there is no noise, no dust-clogged filters and nothing that wears out, which also means less power consumption. The storage devices sit in their own passively cooled thermal zone.
Ports and expansion
Six USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, three serial ports, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and an optical S/PDIF output sit at the back, next to the display outputs. The front panel adds USB 3.1 Gen 2 including Type-C, audio jacks and a micro-SD slot. Optional FACE modules add more LAN ports (also with PoE or SFP+), serial ports or Ethernet bypass.
Tool-free service
The clamshell case opens without tools. Graphics card, memory and drives are easy to reach. An OLED display on the front shows clock rate, temperature and power consumption while the PC is running.
What's inside the Airtop3
Open the clamshell and everything is laid out in clear zones. The processor and the graphics card share the main chamber, the memory modules sit within easy reach, and the storage drives have their own passively cooled space. Because the heat is carried away through the aluminium case itself, no fan has to move air between these parts.
