Slim barebone for custom builds

The ASUS NUC 13 Pro barebone kit arrives as a compact black chassis with an Intel Core i3-1315U processor already installed. It targets system integrators and enthusiasts who want to choose their own DDR4 memory, NVMe storage and operating system rather than buying a pre-configured unit.

Sustained operation with integrated graphics

The 13th Gen Core i3-1315U pairs with integrated Intel UHD Graphics to handle everyday workloads and multi-monitor output through dual HDMI 2.1 and dual DisplayPort via Thunderbolt 4. A 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth provide consistent network throughput during long sessions.

User-installable memory and storage

Two 260-pin SO-DIMM slots accept DDR4 3200 modules up to 64 GB total, while a single M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 slot supports NVMe SSDs from 128 GB to 8 TB. The slim form factor leaves little room for error; builders must verify module height and drive thickness before assembly.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the Core i3-1315U get when the NUC runs continuously?

The 13th Gen Intel Core i3-1315U is a 15 W processor; the slim chassis uses an active fan that spins up under sustained load but stays quiet during typical office work.

Which memory and storage parts must I buy separately to complete this barebone kit?

You need two DDR4 3200 SO-DIMMs up to 64 GB total and one M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe SSD between 128 GB and 8 TB.

Can I keep using my older USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen1 peripherals with the rear ports?

Yes — the rear includes one USB 2.0 Type-A at 480 Mbps and one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A at 10 Gbps, both backward compatible with earlier USB devices.
