Akasa Max S Passive Cooled Max S NUC Chassis Review

Interior

With the top panel removed you can see there’s a comfortable amount of space in here for our motherboard, but since this chassis is quite large compared to the NUC board, some pass-through cables are pre-installed to enable all the usual ports to reach the front panel.

There are USB ports, audio, power and even a little clear rod to allow IR pass-through.

Here you can see a raised section of the aluminium base of the chassis, this acts as the heat sink for the CPU hardware, which then passes the heat through the entire chassis housing to cool the system; very clever and completely silent cooling.
