ASUS NUC 16 Pro Core Ultra 7 barebone

This compact mini PC arrives with an Intel Core Ultra 7 356H processor, 16 GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 512 GB NVMe SSD already installed. It targets professionals and enthusiasts who want a ready-to-run foundation for office productivity, light content creation or embedded applications. The small chassis includes a VESA mount for discreet placement behind a display.

Suited for dual-display and high-speed I/O workflows

Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports with DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 outputs and dual 2.5 Gb Ethernet give ample bandwidth for multi-monitor setups and fast wired networking. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 handle modern wireless peripherals. Buyers who need discrete graphics, more than two SO-DIMM slots or legacy COM ports should consider a larger platform.

Memory ceiling is 128 GB across two SO-DIMM slots

The board provides two 262-pin SO-DIMM sockets supporting DDR5 up to 7200 MT/s, allowing a maximum of 64 GB per module. This single figure determines whether the system can meet your workload's memory requirements.

Questions about this item

Does the unit ship with RAM and an SSD already installed, or do I need to buy them separately?

The barebone includes 16GB DDR5-5600 memory and a 512GB NVMe SSD pre-installed, so no separate purchase is required for basic operation.

Which memory speed should I choose if I want to upgrade later, DDR5-5600 or DDR5-7200?

The board supports up to DDR5-7200, but the installed modules run at 5600 MT/s; faster DDR5-7200 sticks will work and simply downclock to 5600 unless the BIOS enables the higher speed.

What resolution and refresh rate can I expect from the two HDMI 2.1 ports with the integrated Intel Graphics?

Each HDMI 2.1 output supports up to 4K at 60 Hz, so dual 4K60 displays are possible directly from the integrated graphics.
