hey there

I had a question, I know the NUC compute element has two built in NVME slots, and I know of the one under the module it self (there's 3 so far)

but

has anyone tossed in two more on the PCIe x16 slot and x4 slot? (so 5 total?)

EDIT - Intel NUC 9 Extreme Kit, NUC9i7QNX

hi I have an intel nuc which works at 12v but I have a 19v power supply it will work or fry the motherboard.

I went and got an Intel NUC8i7BEH secondhand locally that came with an Akasa Turing Fanless case for the NUC 8. I have an issue where the system easily overheats and has shutdown due to the high temperature on multiple occasions. I tried repasting, but it didn't do much as the entire case becomes extremely hot after being on for around 20-30 minutes of just browsing and watching youtube videos.

Is there anything I can do to cool it, so that I can use it without having to worry about it thermal throttling and shutting down? My plan was to look for a desktop cpu cooler and just use that to cool the NUC, but not too should which one will be compatible.

I have an extra Intel Nuc 8 and Raspberry Pi 4B lying around and want to use it for game emulation on my TV. Should I install retropie or another emulator for Windows on the Nuc?

Hi guys,

I have face an issue that my m2 nvme installed suddenly showed [not installed] in bios after the latest window update.

i try to roll back to previous version but my bios still cannot detect the m2 nvme.

is there anyone have faced similar issue before?

Thanks.

I am having issues with my trading programs crashing due to memory issues. I am using TradingView Desktop and WeBull Desktop - both crash and it says it's memory related.

The NUC9 guide says it can only use up to 64GB DDR4 - are there better ones I can buy to replace what it came with? Or are there other options to increase memory usage?

Thank you.

Hi i am setting up a couple of Intel Nuc13 using the Samsung SSD 980 NVMe M.2 SSD. The SSD shows up in BIOS but is not in the list of bootable devices. I Already tried a lot of things, i both, the NUC and the SSD.
The SSD is out of te Box but i just can't get it running.

I Deactivated secure boot too.

When i put the same SSD into a HP Laptop it works just fine.

Is there a know incompatibility?

Hello, can I use 2 m2 SSDs at the same time? I already use the 2280 ssd and I would replace the 2230 slot with something like Micron 2400 instead of the wifi.

Hi guys!

I have a question and maybe you know how to get through to Asus. I have a problem with the motherboard on my NUC 12 Extreme and I need it repaired or replaced. The warranty will be out for a while and I thought I would just write to Asus, and they would tell me that I can bring the NUC in for repair and that's it. But they've been ignoring my request on their website for 3 weeks now. What am I supposed to do? There are 2 authorized Asus services in my area, but I'm not sure that I can just go there. I mean, the employees there may not even know that they are now honoring the Intel Nuc warranty, lol

My nuc laptop's keyboard has stopped working. Just the external keyboard is working. What should I do? I have tried all troubleshooting on the internet for the windows, since the external key board is working, I am guessing that its just the NUC problem. Please help guys!

Application is a dual touch screen embedded in a table I made. I plan to combine/join them as one display so full screen apps go over both (not extended, they need to be combined).

It doesn't need any great processor, just compact and fairly low power usage. Plus needs to run Windows.

My existing compute stick can output dual monitors with a hub, but it can't combine them together in the Intel app as the second screen isn't classed driven by Intel due to the hub.

Just curious if I can omit the hdmi cable and just use the usb c port and one of the usb 3.2 ports for two touchscreen displays?

I'm hoping to use a single cable for picture, power and touch for each travel monitor that can run off a usb c port only. I then hope to run two of them from a single small pc, like the MeLE Fanless Stick PC PCG02 Pro.

Hi

Model 5i3myhe From 04/2018

I have a nuc running esxi It won't boot after it has been powered of I need to remove the cmos from the unit for a while to get it to boot

I can reboot without any trouble, it's only when I power it off its a problem

Any suggestions?

i have a intel nuc 11, NUC11ATKC4.. WITH A intel celeron N5105 processor.

i have a fast m.2 card, all im missing is ram.

i tried to install windows 11 but it was kinda slow , so i replaced it with a much better NUC. i still have this thing lying around and i would like to know what can i do with it????

install crome OS, turn it into a goolge tv box, kodi or better media player ETC...

I'm scared of buying something that wont fit. I have Googled and Googled and found various answers to it. The official sources are clear, they say 39mm and 2 slot. Would a gpu that's 42mm thick, using a 2.1 slot fit? Specifically the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB VENTUS 2X BLACK OC. 3mm and an extra 0.1 on the slot isn't a lot.

Gpu: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-RTX-4060-Ti-VENTUS-2X-BLACK-16G-OC

I'm kinda scared that the thick backplate might interfere or press on the cooling shroud for the daughterboard. If anyone has any other suggestions I will happily take them into account. I'm basically looking for something more future proof, preferably 10gb+. My current gpu is the 3060ti 8gb.

I have a NUC8i58BEH which I have just repurposed to be a Proxmox host, however once booted into Proxmox if I unplug the HDMI cable the NUC seems to go to sleep almost immediately and Proxmox becomes unresponsive. I have tried updating the BIOS (now on 0095) and I have tried changing the various power settings within the BIOS but nothing seems to stop this from occurring. I have also tried changing a couple of different options within Debian, but same result. I know that I can get a HDMI emulator, but it is driving me nuts that I cannot figure out how to get it be headless without an emulator? Or is this a known issue with the NUC8?

As an aside, I have two NUC11 running ESXI and they both function as headless servers perfectly.

Any tips would be much appreciated!

I have a NUC 12 Extreme with a Nvidia 4060. I cannot get the 4060 to show up under Host->Hardware->PCI Devices in ESX. I have seen plenty of posts of people being able to do it, but I think they are using actual Dell/HPE/Micro servers, and not a NUC. Does anyone know if (or has been successful with) getting ESXi PCI passthrough to work with Nvidia on a NUC?

The transition from Intel support to ASUS support was a bit of a mess, and finding anything on the ASUS website is hard, but I finally found an easy way to check for Intel NUC BIOS upgrades on the ASUS website.

1. get your model #. Go into command, then msinfo32, and copy down the system SKU. In my case, NUC10i7FNH
2. go to the following ASUS website https://www.asus.com/us/support/download-center/ and in the Model search box put in the system SKU
3. on the right side of the page the SKU # will show up with a bunch of options underneath. Click on "Drivers and tools"
4. on the next page select ""Bios and firmware" and you're there.

It took me forever to figure this out, so I'm putting this here both for me (for when I forget 3 months down the line and google it) and for you (if anyone finds this helpful). I realized I was at least one release behind for my NUCs, and I'm glad that at least for now ASUS continues to update the bios. Using the old IDSA was much easier...

So I just bought 32GB(2x16GB) of ram and I got it straight from intel using my model code to find compatible ram sticks and it said this one was compatible but when I put both sticks in the power led says that it’s a faulty ram configuration but when I take the top stick out it boots and if I put anything in the top slot it refuses to boot and I’ve checked the voltage and it’s 1.2V at 2400 so I don’t know if the top slot is fried or something but I was very excited to get my old pc to work again.

As the title says, just curious how people use them!

I'm currently using a NUC13ANKi5 for live streaming a birdbox and other cameras while running a couple of AI computer vision models to automatically switch the OBS scene.

I am trying to power up a mini PC 'NUC5i3RHY' the electrical ratings of the PC are 19V and 3.43A and I have three batteries which have the following ratings
battery 1: 12V, 7.2AH
battery 2: 12V, 2.2AH
battery 3: 12V, 3000mAH
can someone recommend any solution to make this work by using a DC-DC converter and still maintain enough power supply?

Hi Guys, i really need help, i duuno if anyone got this problem, but my rtx 4070 super from zotac is randomly hidden and cant be enabled with my intel nuc 12 pro X. Sometimes it works, can be seen in device manager but when I want to enter any game i get a crush, very rarely i can play games like normal,but most often the card just isn't detected, but the lights on the card are on and the fans are working. Can anyone help me, im desperate.

Hi all, my home router is currently a NUC4i3. I’ve used the mpcie slots for additional ethernet ports using i350 cards. Works great, but has developed some sort of issue where it will hard freeze once every few months and require power to be removed to restart. Also runs hotter than I’d like.

Purchased this NUC7 to upgrade and got an m.2 ae key to mpcie adapter to continue using my ethernet card in lieu of WiFi. Updated to latest BIOS from Asus. Doesn’t work at all. The card powers up fine but isn’t enumerated by Linux and isn’t visible in bios.

I’ve read something about this port being proprietary..? Is there not a usable pcie lane on the wifi slot? Makes zero sense. Tia!

I have Ubuntu Server 22.04 with kernel 6.5 installed on a Intel NUC 13 Pro. It's stuck operating a 100Mbps. The NUC is connected via a new CAT6 cable to a Unifi switch that supports gigabit ethernet.

How can I get it to operate at 1000Mbps?

So i have a nuc from my old employer i was trying to set it as a Linux server at home. I was trying to make it headless if i can. Every time i boot it without a monitor plugged in it seems like it haven't finished booting the unit's lights up but it doesn't seem to start and connection to my network. If i power it done plus a monitor in it then works fine. i have looking in the bios but no luck. if any one has a thought let me know.
