DFI PTH171-IE-U7365RE Intel Core Ultra 7 365RE (Panther Lake) Mini-ITX Mainboard with Triple 2.5GbE and Wide Temperature

In a sealed enclosure the thermal budget decides the processor more than the benchmark does. The PTH171-IE-U7365RE is the Core Ultra 7 build in the DFI PTH171 series that keeps heat down, for machine builders fitting a board into an IP-rated cabinet, a panel or a DIN-rail enclosure with little room for airflow.

Its Intel Core Ultra 7 365RE (Panther Lake) sits in the 15 W configuration DFI lists for the RE parts, with Intel vPro and Arc Xe3 graphics. Two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots take up to 128 GB in dual channel. HDMI 2.0 and DP++ drive 4K screens at 60 Hz, the rear USB-C port adds a third display through DisplayPort Alt Mode, and an optional M.2 A-key module adds a fourth, such as an internal eDP panel.

The -IE- build adds a PCIe Gen5 x4 slot for an I/O, capture or fieldbus card. An M.2 M-key with PCIe Gen5 x4 takes an NVMe SSD, a B-key with Nano SIM takes a cellular module, an E-key takes Wi-Fi, and two SATA ports cover extra drives. Three 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226V and I226LM controllers, four COM ports (two RS-232/422/485, two RS-232), 8-bit DIO, five rear USB Type-A ports and five internal USB 2.0 complete the I/O.

The PTH171-IE-U7365RE runs from 12 V DC on a barrel connector or 4-pin connector, operates from -20 to 70 °C under an active cooler, and carries CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance. If the cabinet has more thermal room, PTH171-IE-U7366HRE moves to the 25 W Core Ultra 7 366HRE. For the same 15 W class at a lower CPU tier, PTH171-IE-U5335RE uses the Core Ultra 5 335RE.
