Question about Installing Google Coral M.2 in Asus NUC 14 Pro Ultra 5

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased an Asus NUC 14 Pro Ultra 5 and am trying to install a Google Coral M.2 accelerator. The NUC has an M-key slot, which should be compatible with the Coral’s B+M key, but the Coral module is 80mm long, while the slot in my NUC has space for only 40mm.

I know there’s an E-key version of the Coral, but it’s 30mm in length and, since there’s no E-key slot in this NUC model, that doesn’t seem to be a fit either. I’d prefer to avoid using the USB version of the Coral if possible.

Has anyone dealt with this issue before, or does anyone know if this setup could work despite the length limitation?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

intel nuc 11 extreme

hello everyone, I left my device with a friend when I traveled for a while. the bios was reset and I had a very specific cooling setting. I lost these settings and now the fan ramps up and slows down a lot I tried to look for the settings that worked for me on Reddit but I couldn't find it anywhere. I want the best setting for the cooling on this thing to prevent the fans from going crazy and also be less audible.

I have an i7 NUC extreme with an RTX 3090

Intel nuc works fine but refuse to show boot sequence to access bios

As the title suggests, I'm trying to access the BIOS to modify the fan profile. Unfortunately, it's a bit tricky... The method only works when unplugging the entire system, waiting a bit, and then plugging it back in, which then displays the "Intel NUC" logo. I need to be quick to press the F2 key during this boot sequence, as normally, pressing it during start-up or restart doesn't bring me to the Bios... and just turns the HDMI on and off during what seems to be the boot sequence, and immediately shows the Windows login. Even restarting via settings or the command prompt doesn't help, fast boot is off in Bios

RPi 5 4/8G vs NUC11 Celeron N5105 (2.90 GHz)

I have got a NUC11 Celeron N5105 with DDR4 16GB and NVME storage and it's quite snappy with Linux. I'm trying to understand whether newer RPI5, is a similar experience in terms of performance/snappiness?

I have a RPi 3B which is older and not that snappy, and understand that the newer models are a significant uplift.

Looking for part number of SATA header

Anyone happen to know the part number for this SATA header is on a NUC7?

I need to replace some that have been ripped out of the board and it's a lot of results to sift through from component suppliers. So far, it appears to be "through hole kinked" mounting but it's an obsolete part from TE #2041346-1 and hoping to find alternatives.

How can I manage ARGB fans installed in NUC13RNGi9?

I'm using an Intel NUC13RNGi9 desktop, as you know it has 4 5V3Pin slots and I installed 3 CoolMaster SickleFlow 120 ARGB fans in the chassis. I'm not satisfied with the RGB effects included in the Intel's NUC Studio software, so I tried to find other RGB control software to manage the RGB fans, but none of Asus Aura, MSI Center, Signal RGB or OpenRGB can detect the fans.

Any suggestion? Thank you.

NUC8i5BE/BECFL357 BIOS version 97 - why no longer posted?

This thread mentions some of the challenges in tracking down any updates for these older Intel NUCs.

But even after finding those support pages, it doesn't seem like the latest version of the firmware is posted. Version 97 was available at some point earlier this year. But the only thing posted now is version 95. IIRC, version 97 contained fixes for LogoFail & possibly other known vulnerabilities.

I can understand why they might not post all of the older driver/firmware revs. But was there a reason this one is no longer posted? Wondering if I should downgrade to 95.

Exporting and importing BIOS UEFI settings of Intel NUC 8 Gen

We have about 150 Intel NUCs 8 Gen here. For the upcoming Windows 11 upgrade we need to change some BIOS settings. Now I'm looking for a way to export and import the settings from command line, so I could script it.

I found this (https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1052729/). Even if it says that Nuc 8 gen is supported, it isn't. That tool only words on Aptio V UEFI, but the 8 Gen NUCs using the Intel Visual BIOS. So running the tool will fail with the Message "Error: 82 - BIOS not compatible"

I contacted Intel,the replied very fast, but Intel does not Support the NUCs anymore, they sold it to ASUS. So i contacted ASUS...... still waiting for a reply.... 2 weeks now....

I also downloaded SECWIN (https://github.com/ab3lkaizen/SCEHUB). But that also only works on Aptio V AMI BIOS. Not on the Intel Visual BIOS.

So, has someone an idea?

I also tried to find some more information on Archive.org on the Intel NUC site. But also could not find any downloads.

Does a simulair tool exist for the 7 and 8 gen NUCs (7 Gen also had the Intel Visual BIOS)?

NUC RMA experience via ASUS support - more specifically from Canada?

Hey everyone,

Has anyone experienced the ASUS RMA for a NUC in Canada? I beleive their service center is in Ontario.

My 11 extreme has issues and I'm tempted to request a RMA, but I'm worried I'll be without a computer (which I need for work) for several weeks.

Anyone?

Asus sucks

The support page of NUC12SNK Serpent Canyon got error for about half a month, and other products' support pages working normally at the same time.

What I Did with a $10 NUC I Found on Facebook Marketplace..

Long story short, I got this NUC on Facebook Marketplace for only $10 (it came without a box or power cable, but I got a cheap brand-new power cable for around $3 at a local computer store with similar specs). The base spec I got is an Intel Celeron J3455, 500GB HDD, and 4GB of RAM. I'm unsure what to do with this NUC. I’ve already tried upgrading it by adding a 128GB SSD and an additional 4GB of RAM I had lying around, but the performance hasn’t really improved.

The CPU in this old NUC is just too weak to handle basic 'modern' Windows 10 stuff. I even tried Ubuntu 24.04, but it still stutters sometimes. So, I’m thinking about re-selling it. Besides, I feel like my brain is too ‘dumdumb’ to try any other lightweight Linux-based OS or figure out something else to do with this cheap NUC.

But then I came across this video on YouTube about old mini PCs and CasaOS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2CETL891N8&t=208s&ab_channel=TwoGuyzTech Sure enough, I gave it a try, and it worked perfectly on the first attempt. However, 128GB isn’t enough for this type of setup (can I call it a NAS?). I do have a 1TB HDD that I usually use as an external drive, so I decided to swap the SSD with the HDD. Thankfully, the performance difference wasn’t that noticeable.

I have to say, this has been the best experience I’ve had so far with this old NUC. With a bit of effort learning about VPNs and tunneling, I can now access, upload, or download files via a browser panel, or use SMB from anywhere as long as I have internet. I can also stream my movie and anime collection (yes... I’m a weeb) using Jellyfin.

And the best part is, I can now host my own Minecraft server using Crafty so my friends and I can play together. There's a slight delay when the map loads at first, but after that, it runs smoothly. I even upgraded the RAM to an old used 2x8GB kit that I stole borrowed from my office’s storage room just for this server lol (don’t worry, I talked to my boss, and he said the office didn’t need it, so I could keep it).

Also, with the NUC BIOS, I was able to tune the power consumption to just 5-7 watts on idle and 15-17 watts at full load. Isn’t that perfect? So there you go.. the cheap NUC has now become a NAS, running 24/7 right next to my router. Maybe this story of mine will give you some thought on how to repurpose an old NUC. With low maintenance and easy setup, even an old NUC can still be super useful without costing a lot 😁

This is the photo that Facebook guy use to sell the NUC lol..

This one is my CasaOS main panel

I also manage to get the SSH works hehe..

I'm not gonna lie, the Jellyfin UI is really good!

This is the minecraft server status panel, one of my friend actually playing when I screenshot this 😃

NUC 13 i7 power settings for a quieter fan?

Hello, does anyone with the NUC 13 i7 have recommended bios power settings, like the PL numbers, to make the fan less noisy.

At the expense of a small amount of performance I’m sure, but it really is quite loud.

Eventually I should buy the Akansa case but I’m limited on space.

What is the NUC12SNKi72 failure rate?

I gave my nephew my NUC12SNKi72 a while back and it died today. It acts like its booting but all HDMI and DP ports are dead. I even removed the BIOD recovery jumper and used the .cap file to do a recovery and while it seemed to work (flash drive was read and power button flashed for a few minutes), absolutely nothing changed.

I've dealt with dozens of NUCs and this is the first one I have ever seen die.

NUC14Pro issues with hub/kvm switch of monitor

Last week I moved from a NUC7 to an Asus NUC14Pro. By now I have installed pretty much everything the way I want it, but there is one quite irritating issue I can’t resolve yet. I have trouble explaining this issue, especially in English, so please bear with me.

My NUC7 was connected to my Iiyama PL3494WQ monitor with a USB-C to displayport cable, because my Nintendo Switch takes the HDMI port and my work laptop takes the USB-C port of the monitor. That worked perfectly. The monitor has a hub/kvm switch, and the work laptop and the NUC7 used the same network cable and the same wireless keyboard and mouse set.

I have connected the NUC14Pro to the monitor the same way as the NUC7 was (USB-C to Displayport). The NUC14Pro is displayed on the monitor, however it doesn’t seem to be able to connect to the network cable and keyboard/mouse set. I have wifi and an extra keyboard/mouse set, so I can use the NUC14Pro, but I have no idea where to start resolving this issue to have the NUC14Pro be able to use the hub/KVM switch properties of the monitor.

Any pointers on where to start looking or even solutions?

Question about m.2 sSDs (New to NUCs)

I just bought my first (second-hand) NUC, a NUC6i3SYB and it does everything I want very well. However it's time for a new SSD, the current one's a 120 GB Kingston and has got 1970 days on it. Hard Disk Sentinel says it's time to replace it. I've not had anything to do with M.2 SSDs before and know little about them. My desktop machine uses a SATA SSD and my laptop uses an mSATA SSD. My question: Do I just buy a new M.2 SSD? I'm looking at probably getting the Samsung 980 500GB M.2 NVMe. (I have Samsung SSDs in my other machines and they've been good.) Will this work in my NUC? Cheers.

How to connect two monitors (Nuc 11) ?

I have an Intel NUC 11TNKI5 which is serving me well, up until the point where i would like to connect a second monitor, which i cannot figure out how to 🙈

My NUC has ports allowing to connect 2 monitors in the shape of two set of one HDMI port and one USB-C port. I’m connecting a USB-C (to DP) cable, which works perfectly. I can also connect a monitor via HDMI cable. But no matter which of the 2xHDMI / 2xDP ports i use, I cannot connect a monitor via HDMI and one monitor via USB-Cable the same time. One of them display correctly and the other will not show any picture

Do I need to connect these in a certain order or is there perhaps a setting I am missing somewhere ?

External Bluetooth antenna for Intel NUC12 PRO

I have an Intel NUC12 PRO (P/N: RNUC12WSHI70000) which I use for software development. I want to pickup some Bluetooth devices but they're too far away to be detected even though my phone can. Has anyone tried connecting an external Bluetooth antenna to improve the range?

A good NUC Asus RMA laugh

My 1-year old NUC died. Got an RMA # from Asus support. Mailed it in. Waited 2 weeks. They sent me what appeared to be a brand new unit (different serial number). Plugged it in, wouldn't boot, wouldn't provide a display signal (tried HDMI, multiple cables, two different monitors, DVI, nothing). Contacted support, gave me a new RMA number. It's like they just tossed my bricked NUC in a bin, grabbed a different bricked NUC from the same bin, and mailed it to me... Can't wait for the next one to arrive.
