ASUS NUC 15 Pro NUC15CRKU5 Core Ultra 5 225H 96GB DDR5 0.48L barebone mini PC

SKU CH-E611-BPB5Y

Barebone mini PC with a 14-core Core Ultra 5 225H, supporting 96 GB DDR5-6400, Arc graphics, Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt in a 0.48 L tool-less chassis

Configuration Barebone

  • Intel Core Ultra 5 225H with 14 cores up to 4.90 GHz handles intensive workloads
  • Dual-channel DDR5-6400 support up to 96GB enables smooth multitasking and demanding applications
  • Intel Arc Graphics plus Intel vPro technology deliver enhanced visuals and enterprise-grade security
  • Dual HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1 drive up to four 4K displays
  • Tool-less 0.48L chassis allows quick upgrades while keeping a minimal footprint

Target users and form factor

The ASUS NUC 15 Pro NUC15CRKU5 is a 0.48L barebone mini PC built around the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor with 14 cores and up to 4.90 GHz. It suits professionals and developers who need a compact, vPro-enabled system for multi-display productivity or light content creation. Buyers who want a pre-assembled unit or discrete GPU performance should look elsewhere.

Memory capacity and headroom

The board supports up to 96GB of dual-channel DDR5-6400 RAM, giving ample headroom for virtual machines, large datasets and heavy multitasking. Two SO-DIMM slots mean the limit is reached with a pair of 48GB modules; workloads that exceed 96GB will require a larger platform.

Display and I/O limits

Four simultaneous 4K outputs are possible through dual HDMI 2.1 ports and Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1. The Thunderbolt 4 connection also carries data and power, but total bandwidth is shared across the port. Systems needing more than four displays or higher refresh rates at 8K will hit the interface ceiling.

Questions about this item

Will the DDR5-6400 memory I already own run at its rated speed in the NUC 15 Pro?

The board supports up to 96 GB of dual-channel DDR5-6400, so compatible modules will operate at that speed.

How can I verify the Intel Arc graphics and Core Ultra 5 225H are performing correctly after assembly?

Check Device Manager for the Arc GPU and 14-core processor, then run a 4K video or benchmark to confirm four-display output via HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4.

Does the barebone include RAM, storage or an OS, or must I buy them separately?

This is a barebone unit — memory, M.2 storage and operating system are not included and must be purchased separately.
