Here's how the two Aetina systems compare on cooling, weight, and max operating temperature:
| Attribute | AIE-PX12/22 | AIE-KX12/22 |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling | Fanless | Fan (with chassis) |
| Weight | 4300 g | 1852 g |
| Max operating temp | 55 °C | 70 °C |
| Min operating temp | -25 °C | -25 °C |
AIE-PX12/22 aetina.comaetina.com ↗“thermal.cooling=Fanless, thermal.max_operating_temp_c=55 °C”
AIE-KX12/22 aetina.comaetina.com ↗“thermal.cooling=Fan, thermal.max_operating_temp_c=70 °C”
In short:
- Cooling: The PX12/22 is fanless, while the KX12/22 uses an internal fan and chassis. aetina.com +1aetina.com ↗“Fanless”aetina.com ↗“with fan and chassis”
- Weight: The KX12/22 is significantly lighter at 1852 g versus 4300 g for the PX12/22 — roughly 57% lighter. aetina.com +1aetina.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=4300 g”aetina.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=1852 g”
- Max operating temp: The KX12/22's fan cooling comes with a higher ceiling — 70 °C versus 55 °C for the PX12/22. Both list the same -25 °C minimum. aetina.com +1aetina.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=55 °C”aetina.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=70 °C”
Note that both systems' temperature ranges carry conditions: the PX12/22's range requires airflow, and the KX12/22's range requires airflow and depends on the power mode. aetina.com +1aetina.com ↗“Requires airflow”aetina.com ↗“Requires airflow, Depends on power mode”
