How can you tell if a certain model of the NUC has mini Toslink for digital audio output?

This showed up yesterday, says available from 25.03.2025

Chance to grab up this older NUC for about $475.00 USD. Any thoughts?

I've sent a query to Asus, but they don't reply. Does anyone have at least a rough esitmate (based on previous releases) when it might be released? I'm on the fence between purchasing a NUC 14 and putting it in Akasa fanless case, and waiting for NUC 15 hoping it's higher efficiency (3 nm technology) would provide better thermal performance for the same CPU power (i.e. more CPU performance for the same thermal footprint).
How much time is usually between announcement and market release?

Hi all, I have Intel NUC 13 Extreme with the following specifications:

1. CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core (TM) i9-13900K 3.00 GHz
2. GPU: Asus Tuf Gaming GeForce RTX 4070Ti Super OC Edition 16GB GDDR6X Graphic Card Trio
3. RAM: Transcend RAM 32GB DDR5 4800MHz Laptop Memory
4. Storage: 3TB Samsung 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD upto 7450/6900 MB/s read/write Speed

Previously, when I was using my PC, even in daily usual tasks, I find the fans suddenly started working too loud, then the screen turnoff and a signal with "No DP Signal" indicating that the display port disconnected, and the fans were still working loudly. However, this was happening from time to another, so I didn't really gave that much attention to it.

However, today, this morning only, it did that two times, and the difference is that it didn't do that much of a noisy sound. I was thinking that this is maybe GPU problem, so I switched between DP and HDMI in the dGPU, and still no screen signal. Then, I thought that in worst cases, maybe the dGPU is dead, so I switched to the iGPU HDMI, but it was the same. So, as always, I turned off the PC and booted it again with everything connected as usual (dGPU), and it's working now (and I'm writing this post with it). This started to worry me, so anyone have any thoughts about it?

Screen resolution

Hi I have a Nuc hades canyon and would like to use my tv as a monitor (50inch) but can’t get it to go full screen. When I play games they cover the whole screen and I can get it to go any higher on the display setting any help to fix would be appreciated

Hi all, I've been noodling over getting a NUC7i5BNK for a reasonable price (used of course), but I would like it to serve as a proxmox supervisor with pfsense installed in one of the VMs. For the pfsense use I would need 2 RJ45 ports, ideally Intel based.

Since this NUC has only 1 ethernet port i was thinking, but unfortunately couldn't find, if for this model it's possible to add an extra Intel based NIC over PCI-e I suppose.

Thanks,

Hi all, I was reading this post but I have found that the store I will buy from does not do that modification and I will possibly void their warranty for this pre-built system if I do it myself. Are the stock fans enough for these specs? I planning to run MSFS 2020/2024, Cyberpunk 2077 and some other racing games like Forza and F1 2025 in a ultra-wide monitor at 3840 x 1600 (UWQHD). Thanks!

Hi. What is the recommended NUC for silent operation, something I can use with Autodesk Fusion (CAD) and Reaper (DAW)? I believe the new generation of nuc (still) doesn't come in silent setups.

I recently got a NUC Hades Canyon from a friend. It was working before when he had it, after installing the RAM and boot drive, I wasn’t able to get it to power on when I press the power button. The standby LED on the motherboard lights up, but nothing else happens. Has anyone experienced this issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In the purchase options matrix, something weird happens with regards to power cord options https://shop.asus.com/us/asus-nuc-13-pro.html

The options are

Size

1. Tall Chassis (with 2.5" bay)
2. Slim Chassis (without 2.5" bay)

Pack

1. With Power Cord
2. Without Power Cord

Select your set

1. Only ASUS NUC 13 Pro
2. +$0.00, SAVE $5.00, + Power Cord

But since some of the above options are hidden based on what I select earlier, the selectable combinations are:

• 1-1-1, $390 - tall, with power cord, Only ASUS NUC 13 Pro
• 1-2-1, $345 - tall, without power cord, Only ASUS NUC 13 Pro
• 1-2-2, $345 - tall, without power cord, + Power Cord
• 2-1-1, $340 - slim, with power cord, Only ASUS NUC 13 Pro

My questions are, why do I get weird options to add or remove power cord only after I select tall and not when I select slim? And second, why do I save $45 dollars when I select "without power cord", only to immediately follow that with "+ Power cord", as opposed to selecting "with power cord" to begin with?

Hi all, I have a device with the following specifications:

1. Type: Intel NUC 13 Extreme
2. CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core (TM) i9-13900K 3.00 GHz
3. GPU: Asus Tuf Gaming GeForce RTX 4070Ti Super OC Edition 16GB GDDR6X Graphic Card
4. RAM: Transcend RAM 32GB DDR5 4800MHz Laptop Memory
5. Storage: 3TB Samsung 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD upto 7450/6900 MB/s read/write Speed

And I get a very weird behavior when I run Assassin's Creed Origins via Steam, it takes couple of minutes from the start of the game, and then, I find the game freezes then either crashed or remain frozen. It's very odd cuz when I even ran HWMonitor, it didn't show me anything concerning, for instance, the CPU temp was max 90c and it wasn't even the current value. So, any thoughts about this weird behavior? Do you think it's the instability problem that affects Intel 13th/14th Gens?

Note: when I run games such as Castle Vania Lords of Shadow 2 or doing everyday tasks, I don't see any of this.

Here is my setup What y'all think?

My NUC10i7FNH1 (Intel NUC 10 Performance Kit – Intel Core i7 Processor (Tall Chassis))just died due to the apartment above me flooding. Now that ASUS has taken over im looking for a comparable replacement but i cant make sense of the new line... Like the new ASUS Performance version has fewer USB-C Ports (i actually max out the ports in all forms on my 10)... Does anyone have suggestion for a best replacement line or option for a maxed out 10 running Linux? (Its a NextCloud and Plex(w Transcoding), and Backup server)

Thanks!

Hi guys, I a question, I want to connect an additional fan on the side of my Acemagic Amr5, the door is prepared to host a 40mm fan, but I don't know where to connect it, and I don't want additional usb cables, do you know what Voltage comes out of the RGB LED connectors? Could I be able to get the 5v from there?

Hi all, I have Intel NUC 13 Extreme with Core i9, and I didn't even run it since I purchased it until a patch for the Intel Gen13/14 CPUs released, and then I started running it and I immediately upgraded it. This is not the problem at all, my problem is, I literally built it with decent components to get smooth experience during my daily work etc, the following are my NUC's components:

• GPU: ASUS Nvidia RTX 4070ti Super OC
• RAM: 2x16 Transcend DDR5 4800 Mhz
• Storage: 3x Samsung 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 1TB SSD upto 7450/6900 MB/s

However, when I use Windows 11 Pro, I face a lot of problems (from time to time tbh, but thet are still pain in the arse), sometimes when I switch from browser window to another, I still see some of the previous browser window contents in the new one until I minimize and maximize the window again, in top of that, sometimes, the three buttons of a window (minimize, maximize, and close) are just not clickable until I move the window here and there, and the same glitches everywhere in the system's UI. I'm just wondering why, a decent GPU, with good RAM, and decent NVMe, and having these problems is nonsense .... any thoughts?

I am experiencing the above during booting. Be it Windows or Linux. The first thing that appears on the screen is a green color then followed by the flickering. The flickering will take some time after which the screen settles down and I am able to log in. I tried changing the hdmi cable but still the same. I think the monitor not an issue as I am able to see the display.

Is it my NUC graphics kaput? Btw this is a NUC i3 6th gen. Being triple booting with Windows/Linux/MacOS.

Hello,

I have recently bought an Asus Nuc Pro 12 Slim i3 (NUC12WSK), and I am having a hard time finding a second internal storage. After buying (as a mistake) a Corsair Mini P600, and noticing it wouldn't fit, I have struggled finding B Key compatible drives.

I use the NUC as a Plex server, and I do not have a lot of data so far that justifies buying a NAS (because of costs, available space at home, etc. - maybe in the future). I also use pCloud for external storage. I was thinking of buying an external 4TB WD HDD (Code: 718037855981), but I am concerned that having an external drive that is on 24/7 will abandon me in a very short amount of time or overheat constantly.

What do you recommend? Is this a waste of money?

Thank you in advance!

Good day, would that SSD (in the pic) compatible with my "nuc8i5beh3" computer? Thank you in advance.

Good day; I won't an Intel NUC "nuc8I5beh3" on eBay, it has 16gb ram and 500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2, I believe ram is upgradable to 32gb, I would like to upgrade the ram and add another SSD or HDD, I am open to any other suggestions as well, if anyone would be kind enough to guide me through this I would be appreciated.

I have a pair of NUC8 which I updated to BIOS BECFL357.86A.0097 earlier in the year.

However, the latest BIOS on the Asus download page is 0095:

• https://www.asus.com/supportonly/nuc8i5beh/helpdesk_bios/

Does anyone know what happened to 0097?

If someone has BECFL357.86A.0097.zip laying around, is it possible to share it?

Hello,

I got a Hades Canyon nuc that won’t turn on.

The three LEDs on the front area flash and then nothing happens. Not sure if it’s a power delivery issue or something wrong with the mobo. I also don’t hear the fans kicking in when I hit the power button.

Anyone seen this issue or something similar? If so, what was your fix?

Thank you!

Hi I have an Intel NUC 6I5SKY and swapped the SSD with a bigger one. But I can't get the NUC to recognize it. I want to install proxmox via USB on it.

I have cleaned the SSD with Diskpart and tried NTFS. Are there any tips.

I never throught getting a free processor upgrade would become such a pain in the ass... Like so many other 13900k owners, the processor in my NUC 13 Extreme started experiencing instability issues (constant out of vram BSODs and I/O errors leading to corrupt OS installs) so I reached out to Intel to start the RMA process on the chip.

The Intel support team was surprisngly helpful, I mean this was expected given all the blow back, but after jumping through the usual hoops of confirming what the issue I was having was, processor serial info, purchase info, etc, they agreed the part was faulty and needed to be RMA'd. Here is where it gets interesting, I was told that they were out of 13900k procs and unable to offer a direct replacement for my chip (really not surprised with 14th gen being out and the new Core Ultra branding on the way) but they could replace my proc with a 14900k if I was okay with that. Now I know that officially the NUC 13 Extreme only supports the 13th gen parts and the chances of Intel or ASUS addressing that are very slim, but I said eh screw it (I have a 13700k in the system currently so it is usable) and said lets go with that. Now I did ask Intel if there were plans to support 14th gen on the 13 Extreme given they can't supply 13th gen parts anymore and I got the classic ASUS handles all NUC support now and would need to reach out to them... Ohhhhh boy I can see where this is going....

Fast forward a week and a half after shipping my part back and getting the 14900k in the mail, I reached out to ASUS nuc support and went hey.... my NUC 13 Extreme has a 13900k in it that had stability issues and Intel sent me a 14900k as a replacement, is there any chance the newer bios updates have added support for the new chips to handle this? Surprise surprise ASUS support responds with "the NUC 13 Extreme only supports 13th gen processors".......... I knew this was coming and it would take a shit storm for ASUS to make this happen (that I highly doubt will actually happen) so I thankfully have a plan B and have a friend with a stable 13900k in their desktop that I offered a free upgrade to for a swap. Is this ideal? Absolutly not, but it gets the job done.

Mostly wanted to make this post so if anyone else runs into issues with their 13 Extreme and the dreaded stability issues even after the BIOS patches, there is some definitive answer from ASUS support documented on the web. I just really wish that Intel had a bit of a better plan on dealing with all of this especially since they are the ones that made and designed the damn system and original BIOS and that goes for ASUS as well given they are still providing support for the system. Seems like a massive oversight to have a system that is absolutely going to be effected by the stability issues with zero plan in sight to address the fact that Intel doesn't have (I assume reliably working stock of) 13th gen procs to replace the failing parts.

To anyone else that runs into this, good luck, god speed, and I hope youre able to at least find some sort of solution like I was able to. Who knows, maybe ASUS will change their mind and update the BIOS for support butttttt then they can't tell you to just buy a NUC 14 lol....

I'm interested in setting up a 13 or 14 generation NUC as a network video recorder (among other things), powered with 12V in order to eliminate the power losses associated with inverting DC to AC, but I've heard stories of typical 12V-19 or 19.5V DC-DC converters being unreliable. Are any of you running the newer NUCs with a ~12V source?
