CPU is passively cooled
ASRock introduced a rather unusual N100DC-ITX motherboard.
There are three main features here. Firstly, this is the ITX form factor, secondly, the soldered Intel Processor N100 processor, and thirdly, the presence of a connector on the rear panel for connecting a 19-volt power supply.

The novelty offers a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, one DDR4 memory module slot, two SATA III ports, one M.2 SSD slot and a set of ports on the rear panel, including, in addition to the power supply connector, four USB 2.0, two USB 3.2, RJ45, PS/2, VGA, HDMI and even COM.
By the way, the processor is cooled by means of a modest radiator. Recall that the Processor N100 has four small cores with a frequency of 4 GHz and a TDP of 6 watts.
