I have a NUC8i7INHJA

"Intel NUC 8 Mainstream-G Mini PC with Optane Memory, HDD & Windows 10 - Core i7"

Came with 8 GB memory that appears not removable.

I went through the wizard on the Crucial.com website and it looks like I can't upgrade my RAM--is that right? Looks like it only supports up to 16 GB? I might just get a new PC instead?

Help/advice appreciated!

As my NUC-based media center begins to rely solely on external storage, I'm looking to simplify my NUC a little. Right now I have a 256GB M.2 SSD running the OS (Ubuntu) and a 4TB internal SSD that I am no longer using for media and is sitting empty.

I would like to remove the M.2 and only use the 4TB SSD.

Can I simply clone the M.2 drive to the SSD, and remove the M.2 drive entirely? Aside from possibly optimizing the boot order in the BIOS, is this plan doable?

If so, any recommendations, pros/cons or best-practices I should be aware of?

Hello,

Is it technically possible to run 2 Intel NUC 9 Compute elements in 1 Intel 9 NUC 9 Extreme board/Case?

As far as i understood there are 2 pcie lanes on that mini Board. So technically it should be possible ?

I can get my hands ln a second i9 compute element, (only the element) so i would be interested in putting that next to my First element.

Thanks in advance

The BIOS is telling me that it's flat and settings are lost when I boot. I'm in New Zealand and have no idea where to get one of these and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction? Cheers.

I wanna install a new NVME boot drive to see if I can fix my thunderbolt ports and move the one I have to another slot. Will all my software still run from the other slot or will I have to re-install everything?

Looking at P-cores, E-cores and typical TDP for entry level pieces:

12th i3-1220P - 2C4T + 8E - TDP 28W

13th i3-1315U - 2C4T, +4E - TDP 15W

14th Core 3 100U - 2C4T +4E - TDP 15W

I would like to believe it was about TDP, but 125H is 4C8T + 10E - TDP 28W

Anything else I have missed?

Got one of these from a friend that was brand new with the plastic still on it, just without the power adapter and box. Booted it up and went through the whole windows welcome setup, everything seemed fine. Started updating the OS and when it restarted, it would not boot again. The system turns on, stays on for 5-15 seconds, then powers off. It stays off for exactly 5 seconds before it turns back on to retry booting. The system is not posting and there is no video output at all. Intel troubleshooting says there could be an issue with the power delivery system but I have a hard time believing that something like this could happen just from pushing updates to windows. I’ve done every bit of troubleshooting I can think of with my electronics and PC repair background to no avail. Anyone have any idea on what could’ve caused this or what could fix it that I haven’t thought of?

Edit: spelling

Hey guys,

I'm looking at the ASUS 14 Pro NUCs and noticed they come in slim and tall versions where the tall version has an extra slot for a 2.5" SATA drive (other than that I think there is no difference). I noticed that the tall version is only marginally more expensive (at least where I live). Why would someone buy the slim version then considering they "lose out" on a feature for pretty much the same price?

Hey Everyone

My nuc seems to be making a rather bizarre sound as of lately as you can see from the video. Anyone happen to know what the cause could be? I did take it apart yesterday, fan included, and gave it a good bit of compressed air.

It did get better a bit but the noise still persists. Maybe a defective fan?

I’ve got an Asus NUC where I installed a Google Coral in the second M.2 slot. After doing this, I lost all network connectivity, and the Ethernet port lights turned off. When I remove the Coral from the M.2 slot, everything works fine, and the lights come back on.

Anyone know what could be causing this?

Can the WiFi card in the NUC 13 Pro be upgraded to WiFi 7 or is it soldered to the board?

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!

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

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

Hi

As there is an infrared port on the hades canyon and the nuc skull, i wonder how can we use this to be able to do file transfert ? Like from a phone or old handheld pc ? Even printer did have infrared port on them. So how can the nuc ir port is used ?

Thanks

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)?

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?

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.

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 😃

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.
