Purpose-built barebone

The ASUS NUC13ANKH5 is a slim mini PC barebone built around a 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H processor with 8 cores and integrated Intel UHD Graphics. It arrives without memory or storage, ready for DDR4 3200 SO-DIMM modules up to 64 GB and one M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD plus one M.2 2242 PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD. A VESA mount is included for behind-display or wall installation.

Who it fits

This unit suits integrators and IT buyers who need a compact, fan-cooled platform qualified for 24/7 operation with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and Bluetooth for reliable wired and wireless connectivity. Dual HDMI and dual DisplayPort via Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports drive up to one 8K or four 4K 60 Hz displays for signage or multi-monitor workloads. Builders who require discrete graphics, additional PCIe expansion slots or legacy serial ports should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the 8-core Core i5-13420H with integrated UHD Graphics, which sets the performance ceiling for compute and media tasks without a discrete GPU option.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the NUC13ANKH5 is running correctly after installing memory and storage?

Enter the BIOS to confirm both SO-DIMM slots show 32 GB DDR4 3200 each and the M.2 2280 and 2242 NVMe drives are detected, then boot into the OS and check Device Manager for the Intel i226V 2.5 Gbps LAN and Wi-Fi 6E AX211 adapters.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately for the NUC13ANKH5?

The barebone includes the chassis, motherboard with Core i5-13420H, VESA mount, US power cord and cable locking arm; you must buy two 260-pin DDR4 3200 SO-DIMMs up to 64 GB total, plus an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe and an M.2 2242 PCIe Gen3 NVMe for storage.

Which memory and SSD capacities should I choose for the NUC13ANKH5?

Populate both slots with 32 GB DDR4 3200 modules to reach the 64 GB maximum in dual-channel mode, add a high-capacity M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe as the primary drive, and use the M.2 2242 PCIe Gen3 NVMe slot for a secondary or cache drive.
