Streamline your workspace with a compact device

Whether you want to save space, create a tidy workspace, fit more computers into offices or connect more business peripherals, slim and compact ExpertCenter D5 SFF is made for you. To ensure both consistent performance and minimum noise from a small package, we optimised ExpertCenter D5 SFF’s thermal design by creating dedicated isolated air chambers for PC’s main heat generators to prevent heat pooling inside — ensuring quiet operation even during its highest performance.

Less heat, more productivity

To ensure stable performance in the compact chassis, ExpertCenter D5 SFF employs an innovative multi-channel cooling system. This comprises dedicated, isolated air chambers that allow independent heat-venting channels for the PC’s main thermal generators — the CPU, GPU and power supply. ExpertCenter D5 SFF also includes the exclusive MyASUS app to optimise the operation of the CPU and system fans, automatically moderating the speeds and switching them off completely when possible, striking the perfect balance between maximum performance and minimum noise.
