Thelio Mega’s thermals are actually two separate systems, as we found it more effective to divide and conquer. Unique airflows keep heat generated by the CPU and GPU from mixing, exhaust air effectively, and prevent throttling.
Heat builds up quickly when you have multiple NVIDIA RTX Ada GPUs stacked atop one another. Rather than use a single vent to cool the entire system, intake fans on the bottom and side panels blow cool air directly onto your GPUs. Everything down to the GPU brace has been tested for maximum thermal efficiency. The result is consistent access to every last core of performance in your system.
Meanwhile, a separate duct isolates the airflow to your CPU. A dedicated intake vent on the side panel directs cool air towards the heat sink. In what’s called a closed-loop phase change, actuating fluid evaporates into a gas, drawing thermal energy away from the CPU and towards the heat sink. Here, it is cooled into a liquid and returned to the transfer plate. The hot air then exits via the exhaust port. The process yields performance similar to if your components were sitting on a test bench.
We tested a wide variety of fan sizes and alignments until we arrived at the most effective solution. Large 140mm fans move air more effectively at a lower RPM, producing quieter acoustics. The Thelio IO board allows your operating system to monitor the temperature of your GPUs and adjust fan speeds for intensive computing.
Seconds add up quickly when working with large datasets. Thelio Mega is equipped with high-performance components to save you time on reaching your next discovery.
NVIDIA A-series Ada GPUs use ECC memory to reliably process tasks at rapid speeds. NVIDIA-exclusive CUDA and Tensorflow tools thrive at high core counts, needing only a single line of code to install on Pop!_OS.
Multitasking is key. AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 Series processors provide the greatest performance for workstations while supporting your graphics cards with up to 192 CPU threads.
Up to 16TB of fast M.2 NVMe storage, including new PCIe 5.0 speeds that are twice as speedy; plus, up to 32TB additional SSD storage on hot swappable 2.5" drives. Cooled aluminum drive cages keep your drives performant, while rubber stoppers mute noisy vibrations. Expandable storage lets your system grow with you from project to groundbreaking project.
Transfer data between devices at breakneck speeds. Dual 10GB Ethernet Ports operate at speeds 10 times faster than a standard Ethernet connection.
Thelio desktops are designed to provide easy access to your motherboard for upgrades and repairs. Slip in drives, add memory, and upgrade graphics cards at will with our open hardware design.
Unplug your ducts and access everything in the system. No obstructive wires, no loose parts.
Any wires you’ll ever need are already provided inside the system. To level up your graphics power, simply plug in your new GPU and fire up those CUDA Cores.
The screw bay on the GPU cooling panel houses enough screws to install the maximum number of 2.5” storage SSDs. They will be with you, always.
Rigid aluminum is cut, powder coated, and molded into a light, durable chassis. From the the Solar System exhaust commemorating the Unix epoch to its arcade-style power button, Thelio Mega adds elegance and character to your workplace.
Save 12% on a fully customizable System76 keyboard when you configure your system with the portable Launch Lite, Launch with high-speed USB hub, or Launch Heavy with hub and NumPad.
