Akasa Kepler case supports up to Core Ultra 9 285T CPU

Akasa has announced Kepler, a 2U rack-mountable fanless chassis for Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX systems. The case targets Intel LGA1851 and LGA1700 platforms and supports processors up to 35W TDP, including Core 12th/13th/14th Gen and Core Ultra T-series .

Kepler integrates a passive CPU cooler using dual copper heatpipes and external aluminium fins, transferring heat out of the enclosure without any moving parts. The case also ships with a 150W fanless AC-to-DC ATX power supply designed for continuous operation.

Front I/O includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports. Storage is handled by four front 2.5-inch SATA bays with lockable, tool-free trays and hot-swap support. Expansion is available via four low-profile PCIe slots at the rear. The 2U chassis fits standard 19-inch racks and includes pull handles for quick installation.

The bundled 150W PSU supports 90–264 VAC input, delivers standard ATX rails, and lists up to 83% efficiency. It carries active PFC, OVP/OTP/SCP protections, and is specified for a wide operating range from −10°C to 70°C.

Akasa provides a motherboard and CPU compatibility list covering multiple vendors such as ASUS, ASRock, Advantech, and others. The list includes Core Ultra 9/7/5 T-series and earlier 35W T parts across 12th to 14th Gen, along with a range of Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX boards used in embedded and industrial deployments.
