Compact barebone for custom builds

The Intel NUC14RVKU5 is a slim barebone mini PC built around the Core Ultra 5 125H processor with 14 cores and 18 threads. It ships without memory or storage so integrators can choose DDR5-5600 SO-DIMMs up to 96 GB and one or two NVMe SSDs. Integrated Arc graphics and an on-package NPU handle AI-enhanced video conferencing and quad-display output over two HDMI 2.1 ports and two Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Suited for integrators

This unit fits VESA mounts and runs from a 120 W 19 V adapter that accepts 12 V to 20 V DC input, making it practical for digital signage, kiosks or quiet office PCs. Buyers who need discrete GPU performance, legacy COM ports or a pre-installed operating system should look at other form factors. The barebone state means memory and storage must be sourced separately before deployment.

Memory type and capacity ceiling

The board provides two SO-DIMM slots limited to DDR5-5600 with a 96 GB maximum. Selecting modules that match this exact specification is the single decision that determines whether the system will post and run at rated speed.

Questions about this item

Does the barebone include memory and storage, or do I need to buy DDR5 SO-DIMMs and M.2 NVMe drives separately?

The unit ships with no memory and no storage installed. You must add up to two DDR5-5600 SO-DIMMs for a maximum of 96 GB, plus one M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe SSD and one M.2 2242 PCIe x4 NVMe SSD.

Which DDR5 capacity should I choose for the two SO-DIMM slots to reach the 96 GB limit?

Install two 48 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMMs to reach the 96 GB maximum; any lower matched pair will work in dual-channel mode but will not hit the ceiling.

What does the 4.50 GHz maximum turbo frequency mean for everyday workloads on the Core Ultra 5 125H?

The 14-core, 18-thread processor can boost up to 4.50 GHz on demanding threads, while the integrated Arc graphics at 2.2 GHz and the on-die NPU handle AI-enhanced video conferencing and light creative tasks without a discrete GPU.
