Akasa is offering the Smart Black SC12, a 120mm PWM PC fan, alongside the Fermi CM5 Pi case.
The Fermi CM5 isn’t new. Akasa announced it earlier this year, and it’s now promoting it again. The case holds the Compute Module 5 on its IO Board inside a 0.8L chassis (185 x 93 x 43.6mm). Dedicated thermal modules draw heat from the CM5’s chip and an M.2 NVMe SSD into the aluminium body, so there’s no fan to make noise or pull in dust. Akasa says it handles up to 10W TDP.
The case also has a slim 1U design, full I/O access, 40-pin Raspberry Pi HAT support, and CSI and DSI connections for cameras and displays. Wall brackets come in the box, and an optional 10-inch 1U rackmount front panel is also available. Akasa pitches it at IoT, industrial automation, digital signage, and edge AI. TechPowerUp lists it from £91.80 / €95.00, but notes that prices may vary by reseller.
The Smart Black SC12 (AK-FN136) is the new item. It’s aimed at PC builders and system integrators, and it has a nine-blade sickle design that Akasa rates at up to 88 CFM. It also has PWM speed control and a hydrodynamic bearing that Akasa rates for long life. Akasa suggests it for case ventilation, CPU heatsinks, and radiators.
Akasa says both products are “readily available” from its European warehouses. It hasn’t published prices, and buyers ask an Akasa account manager for a quote. From 10 to 13 November 2026, Akasa will also show both at electronica 2026 in Munich, at Booth 541/9 in Hall B2 of Messe München.
