I have intel nux x15 what is this laptop app like lenovo have lenovo vantage i want this app to bypass charge

So I was trying to get a NUC8I5 from used market, costs about 80 dollars, it's oversea so it's already on the sea now.

But I just realized that the seller send me a NUC10I5 instead of a NUC8i5, I know the nuc 10 is newer but the cpu/gpu seems to be weaker? Is it worth returning it and get the seller to resend a 8th gen or does it not matter at all? The process is gonna take another month or so, minimum.

I have a really old NUC my aunt gave me a few months ago. The model is NUC6i7KYK and I want to try and power it but it's experiencing boot loop with no screen signals, overheating too(tho I cleaned the fans and the components). Anyone have solutions or advice on how to fix the issue?

I'm building an AI workstation based on an Intel NUC 9 Extreme (Ghost Canyon) with the following specs:

- Intel Core i9-9980HK

- 64GB DDR4 SO-DIMM

- Windows 11

- Main use: Local LLMs (Ollama, Open WebUI), quant research, Python development, Docker, and occasional gaming.

I'm specifically looking for an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB that fits inside the NUC 9 without modifying the case.

I know Intel officially recommends GPUs around 8 inches (~203 mm), but I've seen mixed reports about slightly longer cards.

Has anyone successfully installed a 5060 Ti 16GB in a NUC 9?

I’ve been using my Intel NUC10 i7 as a server for about 5 years. One day, all my VMs went down and I couldn’t figure out why. Turns out that my M.2 that was acting as their storage wasn’t being recognized anymore. I’ve tried reseating it and updating the BIOS, but I can’t get it to be seen by the BIOS anymore.

The drive still works fine when plugged into the USB-C port with an external enclosure and the SMART tests come back at 100% health.

Has anybody experienced this before? I don’t see any physical damage to the connector or any solder joints. The drive does seem to sit slightly loose in the slot when plugged in, but I believe that’s how it has been for the last 5 years.

I recently acquired a NUC 12 Extreme (NUC12DCMi9) - new unsold stock, never opened. I've updated it to the latest BIOS and installed Fedora 44 on it. I have read that in some cases there were thermal issues with the PCH and wanted to monitor that but, strangely, neither lm sensors nor the BIOS is showing a PCH temp (or maybe it's labelled differently than expected?). Is there a different utility or kernel module needed to get the other temps and fan speeds? Here's what lm sensors shows:

After prying apart my Intel Compute Stick (STK2M364CC) for another unrelated issue, I discovered that my unit has no fan blades. It sure did have the casing, though. Yea...I need a new fan. Where can I get one? Thanks.

Hi, I've been looking at this model for a couple of weeks, but there seems to be no consensus about what GPU includes. I need to verify if any of these products really comes with the Intel Arc B390 or just the much slower Intel Graphics.

• RNUC16GDKU760000
• NUC16GDKU7

I anyone owns these computers, could you please provide any info screen or real data from a running system? Is this a customization from ASUS, or plain misinformation?

Update since the post i made two years ago, the problem was specific to the game but whatever now a new problem arrived, wifi out of nowhere is slow af max 2 mbps per second when my wifi can do 50 and it used to do like 25 a week ago and out of nowhere it just became slow, it pings google.com avarage 2s and i have no idea whats causing it, i reinstalled the os, drivers, relocating the pc 7 times and still its the same, anyone can help? Thanks

Does anyone know where to purchase a 6-Pin to 2x 15-Pin SATA Power Cable? I guess Intel has a unique pinout for that one, so something off-the-shelf is not an option.

Guys I am struggling to find the option in the bios. I looked up guides online. Can't find any.

Trying to install Linux.

Any help is appreciated!

I recently bought a NUC16GDKU7 with the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H and have been trying to fine-tune the cooling using the custom fan curve settings in BIOS version GDPTL579.0039. However, after quite a bit of testing, it feels like either the custom fan curve implementation is broken or there are undocumented limits in place.

No matter what settings I use, the CPU fan never seems to go beyond roughly 2600 RPM when using a custom fan curve.

What's strange is that if I switch to Full Speed mode, the CPU fan immediately ramps up to around 3400 RPM, which appears to be its actual maximum speed. The difference is very noticeable both in the BIOS fan readings and by ear. Full Speed mode is significantly louder, which tells me the fan is clearly capable of running much faster than what the custom curve allows.

The same thing seems to happen with the secondary system fan (the RAM/SSD fan at the top). In custom curve mode it appears to top out somewhere around 4500 to 5000 RPM from what I remember, but in Full Speed mode it jumps to around 6000 RPM.

I tried all sorts of settings to rule out user error:

• Lowered the minimum temperature to 10°C and 20°C.
• Set maximum duty cycle to 100%.
• Set minimum duty cycle to 63% (which is the highest value the BIOS allows).
• Experimented with maximum duty values of 10%, 2%, 1%, and even 0% just to see how the controller would react.
• Tried more realistic settings such as:
  • Fan Off Temperature: 38°C
  • Fan On Temperature: 42°C
  • Minimum Duty: 30%
  • Duty Increment: 1%
  • Maximum Duty: 100%

I then ran benchmarks and stress tests expecting the fans to gradually ramp all the way up as temperatures increased. Despite this, the CPU fan still never exceeded approximately 2600 RPM.

What makes me think something is wrong is the huge gap between custom mode and Full Speed mode. The fans clearly have additional RPM available because they immediately reach those higher speeds when Full Speed is selected. Yet no matter what values I enter into the custom curve settings, I cannot get anywhere close to those RPMs.

At this point I'm wondering whether this is intentional. Is Full Speed mode the only way to access the actual maximum fan RPM, with custom fan curves being artificially capped?

If that's the intended design, it seems rather strange. The entire purpose of a custom fan curve is to allow users to define exactly how aggressively the cooling system behaves. If custom mode can never reach the same maximum RPM as Full Speed mode, then what is the point of exposing maximum duty cycle controls at all? 😅

I've attached photos showing the BIOS settings and fan readings for reference.

Is anyone else running BIOS GDPTL579.0039 on a NUC16GDKU7 seeing the same behaviour? Can anyone confirm whether this is a BIOS bug, an intentional limitation, or if there's some hidden setting I'm missing?
