With the Senza Under Desk PC, ARCTIC is launching a remarkable new product on the market. The innovative Senza Under Desk PC, available in three versions, impresses with its discreet under-desk mounting, high performance, and completely passive cooling. A complete PC that integrates perfectly into any working environment and ensures a tidy, efficient setup.

The ideal solution for modern offices and home office
"The Senza was developed to optimize the workplace. With our Under Desk PC, we have created a computer that is inaudible and invisible and offers maximum comfort and performance."—Magnus Huber, CEO



Silent & maintenance-free
Thanks to passive cooling, the Senza operates completely silently and is virtually wear and maintenance-free due to the absence of moving parts.

Practical & compact
Mounting beneath the table keeps the entire workspace free of clutter and well organized. Its front panel provides effortless access to essential functions.

Powerful & versatile
With efficient hardware, the Senza delivers high performance. HDMI and DisplayPort connections allow for two directly connected monitors. Additionally, it supports a total of four screens through daisy-chaining.

It's fanless though, just use your hoover once every six months and it should be fine.

From my experience you can take a good Thermalright cooler, strip the fans off, and mount to whatever AM4 CPU that you want.

Using how it is recommended, it won't have dust. Dust falls, this is supposed to be under a table.

If they managed good thermals with it sitting under a table, it is a pretty good design.

Yeah dust falls but it doesn't mean it won't get in through openings.

They should have put an 8500G in it. The iGPU is 20% faster than the 5700g and it consumes half the power, the average gaming power with iGPU according to TPU was 23W, while the 5700g was 44W

It's 15% faster according to TPU.


You can of course bump it to 1080 to get that smooth 20 FPS experience. Certainly over 20 % more on average lol


Personally I don't think it's worth it for such a small bump. Besides, the 5700G is just as fast on the CPU side, thanks to fewer cores and slower C-cores in the 8500G. Go for 8600G or stay on AM4.

I think you mean something like a MetroVac, a hoover might shock it by accident

or any low power mobile chips, if it was the z1 extreme i would even consider buying it

Why would it do that? I have an LG CordZero and I see no reason as to why it wouldn't work just fine. Besides, who has their PC on when cleaning it?

I don't know, I just was always told you want a special vacuum for cleaning electronic devices.

So...maintenance free implies that there will be no maintenance due to fans or mechanical components breaking down. Not sure about all of you, but I've still had plenty of things require maintenance on their electronics...so what they really mean is "you don't have to clean filters."

Regarding the cleaning, most vacuums use some sort of brush inside them to separate dust and the like. If not, they've got some turbine to slow the big bits enough to fall out of suspension and be collected before the air is sent out of the vacuum. In both cases you have things coming into close proximity rapidly, which will build a static charge. 99% of the time it's not a problem because the vacuum can tough it and your carpet is an insulator...but try applying a jolt of static to a PC and the results are obviously catastrophic.



Regarding the PC itself...cool. It's using old 5000 series Ryzen, which were pretty cool running anyways. It's hooking that to a gigantic thermal mass, and with blade widths as large as it is assuming that convection currents will generate the minimal amount of air current which will transfer enough heat...which isn't unreasonable. It's an exercise in asking what you are willing to give-up for a silent PC...and I don't think it could ever be worth what they are charging... Based on the specs it's not something for me.

Carpet? What's this, 1971? Who the hell has carpet at home?
Never had an issue using a standard vacuum cleaner to clean out dust in my PC, but yeah, never had carpet at home, except for in the bathroom when I lived in the UK...

Sooooo....basically, take any reasonably recent fanless mini-me box, add a docking station, & stick it (velcro or zip ties anyone) under the desk....and bada bing, bada boom, you're all set, and probably for a tad less $$ too :)

But the box itself looks nicely designed, so I'll give 'em that !

Interesting computer but this isn’t for gaming PCs and whoever wants a cheap gaming PC won’t buy this either (too expensive). It’s firmly for office and has more than enough performance for that so no need to criticize the APU.

A vacuum is primarily used to clean carpet. A mop is used on tile. A damp cloth on wood, with the slightest bit of wood cleaner. My house has carpet in the bedrooms, linoleum in the bathroom, wood in the dining area, and tile in the kitchen. I feel that's relatively common in the US. When I spent time in Germany, and in college, everything was linoleum, except the communal shower/bathroom that was tile. Didn't own a vacuum then, do own one now.

Are you telling me you vacuum linoleum/tile/wood? That'd be a first personally...because it's never as clean as a freshly washed floor, and the smell of spic-n-span is generic citrus goodness.

Eh? Are everyone stuck in the past here? Modern vacuums have nice soft rollers for hard flooring. Haven't seen linoleum flooring for at least 20 years. You're not supposed to wet up parquet or laminate flooring though, which is what most people in the Nordics have. This is also way off topic.

I've never seen a computer build like this before. Most unusual form factor, and it'd probably work very well with steel desks that would further heatsink the system. I wonder why did they choose AM4 parts, though? Perhaps they are deemed easier to cool, or perhaps cost? The 5700G still makes for one striking fully passive machine, though.

All right.. Maybe I am in the minority with my opinion but I don't think Arctic should get their noses stuck into system integration. Stick to what you know - support the SI's on the market, don't become an actual competitor. I said the same thing when EKWB started selling PC's of their own. Stay in your lane, focus on improving your products, like not having unnecessarily large shrouds for a tiny VRM fan in their Freezer III AIO's. All I see is a missed opportunity to make a solution based on mITX, but with their own PSU solution as a part of the case. Not to mention the fact that without keeping their own standard alive, the entire solution will end up as waste, as opposed to just the motherboard/CPU combo.

I think all they did here was expand naturally with more cooling solutions, but by also implementing a PC into this cooling solution this time. I think if it's good, it's not a bad idea for them.

For simple tasks and browsing this Artic PC should do fine, but in the light of a concealed PC concept I'm personally much more appealed to this idea of Matt @DIYPerks.
Yes this is not passively cooled and will make noise, but it gives you a wide variety of choice regarding components depending on your user scenario and how much you want to spend.

Talking about spending, with his newest itteration on this concept you can go crazy o_O . But you'll end up with a hell of a unique system :wtf:.

Despite the fact that the concept of a concealed system is like swearing in the church here on TPU for a lot of like minded PC-hardware exhibitionists :D, it sure does have it's appeal.

I don't see any problem in them broaden their horizons and potential sources of income, as long as they keep a good customer support/RMA policy.

Kind of out dated. A m4 Mac mini base spec model costs the same, but offers 100% higher 1t and nt performance. Size is the same as this ones 'io panel'. lol

They should have put some of the new Ryzen AI chip in this one, with proper GPU and CPU performance.
