NUC8i7BEH Windows 11 BSOD'd while updating HDMI firmware, no output on HDMI.

I was updating the HDMI firmware on my NUC8i7BEH when Windows 11 BSOD'd during the process, now I have no output on HDMI.

Will Thunderbolt still work? Will I be able to install the HDMI firmware if I can no longer output from the HDMI port?

Asus (intel) NUC10i3FNK, no secure boot from June 24!

Got an Asus/Intel NUC10i3FNK and just downladed the latest bios from Asus' downloadcenter and updated. Seems the latest bios still has Microsofts secure boot certificate from 2011! This means no secure boot from june 24 2026! Systems using secure boot will have issues!

Any solutions?

Before the 'Just turn it off' reactions, i know i can disable secure boot in bios, but thats not a real solution.

Also, linux fwupdmgr does not have updates.

ASUS ROG NUC 16 (2026) launches with Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus and RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, price over $4000

The ROG NUC is getting a refresh parallel to Intel's Raptor Arrow Lake Refresh SKUs, and a nice to see white chassis as well. The price is not great, but the price of everything at enthusiast level is stupidly high, and that's not the fault of ASUS. Videocardz is being rather churlish about that.

NUC 14 - sound via earphones outlet shuts down

Hi r/intelnuc,

I just got a NUC14 to replace the celeron (whatever speed) version we used before. We're using it in part as a sound machine for online radio and spotify. We've installed Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

When no sound is output, it seems the sound card shuts down after a few seconds; I would assume to cut power consumption. The downside of this is that the amplifier has a bit of hum when there is no output active.

Is this a NUC issue, and Ubuntu issue? Can it be changed in settings, or should I just make an ugly hack that constantly outputs a silent signal to keep the sound card awake?

The Next Unit of Storage (NUC based NAS)

Hi all! I just wanted to show off I recently finished designing/making this NAS. Loosely Inspired by the Apple AirPort Extreme.

The NUS as I like to call it; is a simple NUC based NAS that can hold 4x3.5" HDDs with optional expansion for more using eSATA port multiplier (the little guy next to it on the right). It is very portable once assembled so you can even take it to go!

Install any Unix OS based distro to take advantage of the 3.5" DPF screen in the front to show stats and the like.

You can find the 3D printable files in the link below if you wish to make one for yourself!

B50 in a NUC 11 Extreme Beast Canyon, wow this is small

Love this new card, didn’t realize how small it is even I. My small NUC system. The fact that is doesn’t need a power cable even better, now excited to learn AI stuff with it.

Anyone else who just bought this machine seeing this?

Brand-new NUC 16 Pro purchased from Newegg, can't get Windows 11 installed. Posting to see if anyone else has seen this.

Hardware**:**

  • ASUS NUC 16 Pro barebones, NUC16GDKU7 (RNUC16GDKU76000U)
  • Core Ultra 7 356H (Panther Lake)
  • Added RAM**:** Crucial 128GB kit (2x64GB) DDR5-5600 SODIMM (CT2K64G56C46S5)
  • Added SSD**:** Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe (MZ-VAP2T0B/AM) in the PCIe 5.0 slot
  • Shipped BIOS**:** GDPTL579.0037.2026.0325.1636

Symptom**:** System fails to power back on after warm reboots during Windows install operations. Reproduced 3x with different install methods:

  1. Rufus 4.x with Win 11 25H2 ISO + MSA bypass - install completed, OOBE crashed at network step, ended in defaultuser0 loop
  2. Windows Reset from recovery - system powered down for a reboot mid-reset, never came back on
  3. Microsoft Media Creation Tool, fresh wipe - same warm-reboot lockup, never powered back on

Each time the unit is off, not crashed. Force-power-on works fine but installs need uninterrupted reboots which the system can't deliver.

BIOS update attempt: ASUS published v0037 dated 2026/04/16 with release notes "BIOS flash robustness improvement / Platform issue fix." Downloaded from the NUC16GDKU7 support page, SHA-256 verified, copied .CAP to FAT32 USB (no quick format), tried F7 update method per ASUS docs. But Update tool rejected the BIOS as incompatible.

Same SKU, same GDPTL579 family, same procedure ASUS documents — and it won't apply.

Feels like I need to RMA this one.
