Arctic Senza AI 370 Passive Mini PC Launches with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Zen 5 Processor and Advanced Silent Cooling Features
Arctic is officially updating its Senza line for 2026. This new under desk mini PC uses the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip from AMD. It seems the company wanted to keep the fanless design of the first model but needed more power to handle the Zen 5 architecture. The result is a silent computer that hangs under a table and uses a massive passive cooling setup to keep temperatures in check.
The cooling system appears to be the most interesting part of this build. It uses a central case for the motherboard while two large radiator sections sit on the sides. Arctic added more heatpipes this time around. There are now eight heatpipes in total. I suspect this is why the unit can stay about 17 degrees Celsius cooler than similar PCs on the market even without a fan. The kit also comes with a special mounting system for the table and an external power brick. There is also a port panel that you can move or detach which is a nice touch for cable management.
The internal parts are quite strong for a silent machine. It relies on a 12 core Ryzen processor that includes the Radeon 890M integrated GPU. For those interested in artificial intelligence tasks, the NPU provides 50 TOPS of power. Here are the main hardware details
- Processor: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 using Zen 5 architecture
- Memory: 32 GB LPDDR5X 8000 RAM
- Storage: 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
- Wireless: Wifi 7 plus Bluetooth 5.4 support
- Network: 2.5 GbE jack for fast wired internet
The selection of ports is surprisingly large for a small form factor device. You get two USB 4 ports and three USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectors. There are also older USB 2.0 jacks for basic peripherals. For video, the machine offers HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.0 outputs. It appears that Arctic wanted to make sure this could work as a full desktop replacement.
Compared to the older version that used the Ryzen 7 5700G, this new model is a huge step up. Arctic claims it is about 50 percent faster in CPU tests like Cinebench R23. The graphics performance is even more impressive because the integrated GPU is over twice as fast as before. It is likely that the high speed RAM helps push these numbers higher. The company even claims their version is faster than other brands using the same chip because they tuned the power limits differently.
The Senza AI 370 is currently listed for 1199.99 Euros. and you will still need to pay for shipping. While it is not exactly a budget option, the combination of total silence and Zen 5 power makes it a unique offering in the 2026 market.
