Silent Passive Cooling

Fanless aluminium design efficiently dissipates heat from the CPU and dual M.2 SSDs through the chassis fins, eliminating noise and mechanical failure points for stable, long-term performance.

Supports Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors up to 28W TDP.

Note: A BIOS power limit adjustment may be required before use. Guidance is available on the product support page.

Front and Rear Panel Layout

Full I/O interface support of the NUC board, including a front USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-C port, two front USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-A ports and rear openings for dual LAN and dual DisplayPort connectivity.

Compact Chassis Design

Measuring only 188.6 x 204 x 53.6 mm, the Newton N16 delivers a full-featured fanless build in a compact footprint suited to desktops, wall-mounted displays and rack installations where space is at a premium.

Supports up to Four 4K Displays

Features openings for connecting up to four 4K monitors simultaneously. Ideal for multi-display setups, such as digital signage, command displays and multi-monitor workstations.

VESA Mountable

Designed for easy integration with VESA mounting standards, allowing seamless attachment to the rear of a compatible monitor or wall bracket for space-saving installation.

Premium Brushed Aluminium

Premium aluminium construction provides effective heat dissipation through the chassis body and long-term durability in continuous-use deployments. The black anodised finish gives a professional, clean appearance suited to office, retail or customer-facing installations.

Ideal for Business, Industrial and AI Applications

Suitable for digital signage, industrial automation, point-of-sale (POS), kiosk systems, surveillance and embedded computing applications. Ideal for deployments where silent, reliable, long-life operation is required.

With the ASUS NUC 16 Pro delivering up to 180 platform TOPS of AI performance, the Newton N16 also supports always-on agentic AI deployments, enabling AI assistants to run locally without cloud dependency.

Optional Mounting Accessories

Expand your installation options with two optional accessories. The A-NUC109-FP02 rackmount front panel fits the Newton N16 into a standard 10-inch rack cabinet. The A-NUC109-KT01 bracket kit enables direct wall mounting for a clean, space-saving installation.

Seamless Wi-Fi Connectivity

Easily connect your fanless mini-PC to Wi-Fi with optional external antenna (A-ATN01-BK) and corresponding pigtail (A-ATC01-150GR / A-ATC01-220GR).

Power Adapter for Board-Only Builds

The ASUS NUC 16 Pro is available as a Mini-PC, Kit, or Board. For Board-only builds, the AK-PD120-04M (120W, 19V) power adapter is available as a compatible add-on.

NUC 16 Pro TDP Support BIOS Settings

Instructions for setting the power limit in the BIOS to 28W

- 2026-08-03

The Newton N16 is available in two versions to match the two ASUS NUC 16 Pro rear interface configurations. The A-NUC109-M1B is designed for the dual HDMI® version of the NUC 16 Pro and the A-NUC109-M2B is designed for the dual DisplayPort version. Check your NUC 16 Pro model before ordering to ensure you order a compatible case.

The included AK-TC5026 thermal paste is specifically qualified for use in Akasa fanless cases. High thermal conductivity alone does not determine the best compound for passive cooling applications. The AK-TC5026 is selected for its ultra-thin bond line, low thermal resistance, and non-pressure-dependent performance: properties that are particularly important in fanless passive cooling applications.

No. Remove the old thermal compound and/or pads with an appropriate thermal compound cleaner, such as Akasa Tim Wipes (Product Code: AK-TCW-02) before applying the included AK-TC5026 thermal paste and thermal pads supplied with the Newton N16.

Yes. The ASUS NUC 16 Pro processors are rated above the Newton N16's 28W thermal limit, and processor boost behaviour can increase power draw further. Before use, we recommend setting the processor power limit to 28W in the BIOS to ensure the case can dissipate heat effectively. Operating the case above 28W TDP without this adjustment may result in thermal throttling or reduced system stability. A step-by-step BIOS configuration guide is available on the product support page under "Download".

The Newton N16 supports three mounting configurations. VESA mounting is supported using the hardware included in the box. For rack installations, the optional A-NUC109-FP02 front panel (sold separately) fits the Newton N16 into a standard 10-inch rack cabinet. For wall installations, the optional A-NUC109-KT01 bracket kit (sold separately) enables direct wall mounting.

Yes. The rear panel includes a serial port opening, which can be connected to the ASUS NUC 16 Pro board's internal RS-232 header via the included serial cable and corresponding screw. No external adapter is required. This makes the Newton N16 suited to industrial automation, point-of-sale, kiosk, and embedded applications that require legacy serial communication.
