The Overclock 4C stands out as an ultra-thin, low-power consumption, miniature-sized, high-performance mini turbo boost PC with a thickness of only 19.5mm and a weight of only 320g. The body is 0.33 litres, similar to smartphones' size, and only 3.64% of the ITX Mini chassis volume. The maximum power supply needed for Overclock 4C is only DC12V/3A, and its robust silent fan cooling capacity is up to TDP15W. The turbo frequency of the built-in Intel N100 CPU is up to 3.40GHz, suitable for office, education, home, industrial Internet of things(IIoT), intelligent building, digital signage and manufacturing execution systems(MES) and other areas of use.

Unlike the traditional stack-up design of similar products that install the motherboard and fan cooler, which increases the thickness, Overclock 4C innovatively arranges the two parts horizontally, reducing the thickness from 50mm to 19.5mm to achieve a smaller volume. The design significantly reduces both carbon emissions and power consumption of the manufacturing process. Meanwhile, the fan can intelligently match the rotational speed according to the operating capacity, reducing generated fan noise and fan bearings wear and tear. It raises the average longevity of this type of fan-equipped product from 5 years to more than 8 years.

Overclock 4C is lightweight and portable, equipping with diverse functional interfaces--2-channel 4K HDMI output, 1-channel full-featured USB Type-C, 3-channel USB3.0, Gigabit Ethernet port, built-in WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, comes with audio combo jack and Micro SD card slot, etc.--and supporting users to replace the extended memory and SSD storage space.
