Compact i9 barebone for heavy workloads

The Partaker B18 packs an Intel Core i9-10980HK processor with eight cores and sixteen threads, reaching 5.30 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4-2933 memory and a 256 GB Nvme SSD. Windows 11 Pro comes preinstalled, while Linux Ubuntu and virtualisation platforms such as Proxmox, VMware and ESXi are also supported. The small 134 x 144 x 64 mm chassis fits VESA mounts for discreet placement.

Smart fan cooling on a 45 W TDP

A smart silent fan manages the 45 W thermal design power, keeping noise low during typical office or media tasks. The 100 W 20 V 5 A power adapter connects via a 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC jack. Dual LAN ports use Intel I219-V and Realtek RTL8111 controllers. Wi-Fi operates on 2.4G or 5G bands with Bluetooth 4.0. Wake-on-LAN, Wake-on-AC and PXE boot are available for remote management.

Upgrade path to 64 GB RAM and triple storage

Two SODIMM slots accept up to 64 GB of DDR4. Three drive bays are provided: two M.2 2280 Key M slots (one Nvme-only PCIe 3.0 x4, one Nvme or SATA) plus a 2.5 inch 9.5 mm SATA bay, each supporting up to 2 TB. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of memory or four independent drives should look elsewhere. The HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 outputs both drive 4K at 60 Hz for dual-display setups.

Questions about this item

How do I install the VESA mount on the Partaker B18, and which step is often missed?

Screw the supplied VESA bracket onto the monitor or wall first, then slide the 134 x 144 mm chassis onto it until it clicks; the step people miss is tightening the two security screws on the underside that lock the unit in place.

What maintenance or replacement will the Partaker B18 need after extended use?

The smart silent fan should be cleaned of dust every few months to keep the 45 W TDP cool, and the CMOS battery on the motherboard will eventually need swapping when the system clock drifts.

What limit appears first when the Partaker B18 runs sustained heavy workloads?

The 45 W processor TDP combined with the compact 64 mm cooling volume means thermal throttling will kick in before the 100 W power adapter or the dual-channel DDR4-2933 memory bandwidth becomes a bottleneck.
