Slim Intel NUC barebone for custom mini PCs

The NUC14RVKU5 is a compact barebone kit built around an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor with integrated Arc graphics and a dedicated NPU. It ships without memory or storage so system builders can choose DDR5 SO-DIMMs and NVMe SSDs that match their workload. The slim black chassis measures 117 by 112 by 37 millimetres and includes VESA mounting hardware for behind-display installation.

Dual DDR5 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 96 GB

Memory capacity is the single specification that determines whether this barebone fits the intended role. Two slots accept DDR5-5600 modules up to 48 GB each, delivering 96 GB total in dual-channel mode. Buyers who need more than 96 GB of system memory must select a different platform because the memory controller and slot count are fixed.

Two M.2 NVMe slots and extensive I/O

One M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x4 slot and one M.2 2242 PCIe x4 slot provide primary and secondary NVMe storage. Connectivity includes two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 2.0 Type-A port, two HDMI 2.1 TMDS outputs, 2.5 GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and Bluetooth 5.3. A 120 W 19 V adapter is included and the unit accepts 12 V to 20 V DC input.

Questions about this item

How does the Core Ultra 5 125H with 14 cores and 18 threads perform in a compact chassis?

The 14-core, 18-thread processor reaches 4.50 GHz boost while the integrated NPU handles AI tasks such as video-background effects at low power, fitting within the 117 x 112 x 37 mm slim enclosure.

What display bandwidth do the two HDMI 2.1 (TMDS) ports and two Thunderbolt 4 ports actually provide?

Both HDMI 2.1 ports run TMDS signalling and each Thunderbolt 4 port carries DisplayPort alt-mode, together driving up to four displays from the Arc graphics running at 2.2 GHz.

What physical mounting options and clearance does the 37 mm tall chassis need?

The unit includes VESA mounting hardware for the 117 x 112 mm footprint and requires only the 37 mm height plus space for the 120 W 19 V adapter and its US power cord.
