Ready-to-run mini PC

The ASUS NUC 15 Pro NUC15CRKU5 arrives with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor, 8GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 256GB SSD already installed. Windows 11 Pro is pre-loaded so the system boots straight to a working desktop. It targets professionals who need a compact, vPro-enabled workstation without assembling parts themselves.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 14-core hybrid CPU combines 4 performance, 8 efficient and 2 low-power efficient cores to balance throughput and thermals inside the 0.48L chassis. Under continuous load the processor manages clocks up to 4.90 GHz while the integrated Arc graphics share the same thermal envelope. The tool-less cover allows quick access to the two SODIMM slots and the M.2 bay if additional cooling or capacity is required later.

Display and data interface limits

Dual HDMI 2.1 ports and a Thunderbolt 4 connection with DisplayPort 2.1 alt-mode drive up to four 4K displays simultaneously. Memory tops out at 96GB of dual-channel DDR5-6400, defining the practical ceiling for large datasets. Wireless connectivity uses Wi-Fi 7 for high-throughput, low-latency links in dense office environments.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the Core Ultra 5 225H get when the NUC runs all day?

The 14-core processor reaches 4.90 GHz under load inside a 0.48 L chassis; ASUS does not publish sustained noise or temperature figures for this model.

What memory and storage must I already own to complete this barebone unit?

The box already contains 8 GB DDR5-5600 RAM and a 256 GB SSD; you can add up to 96 GB DDR5-6400 in dual-channel if you need more capacity.

Will my older HDMI 2.0 monitors and USB-A peripherals work with the dual HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4 ports?

Yes — HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4 are backward-compatible, so existing 4K 60 Hz displays and USB-A devices connect without adapters.
