Ready-to-run mini PC for office work

The Intel NUC6i5SYH arrives with a dual-core i5-6260U processor, 8 GB DDR4 memory and a 1 TB SSD already installed. Windows 10 Pro is pre-loaded so the system boots straight to a familiar desktop. Integrated Iris Graphics 540 drives two displays through MiniDP and HDMI ports. A 65 W power adapter is included in the package.

Fits on a desk or behind a monitor

The compact chassis needs only the supplied 65 W adapter and a mains socket. Two SoDIMM slots accept DDR4 modules up to 32 GB total if more memory is required later. Front and rear USB 3.0 ports handle peripherals without a separate hub. Gigabit Ethernet, Wifi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 cover wired and wireless networks. No internal drive bays exist, so storage expansion relies on external USB devices.

Bundled accessories reduce extra purchases

The 1 TB SSD and 8 GB DDR4 remove the need to buy memory or storage separately. Windows 10 Pro licence saves the cost and time of acquiring an operating system. A 3-in-1 card reader reads SD, SDHC and SDXC cards directly from the front panel. MiniDP and HDMI cables are not supplied, so buyers must provide their own display leads.

Questions about this item

Will the i5-6260U throttle under long workloads with the 65 W power adapter?

The 65 W adapter matches the unit's rated supply, so the dual-core i5-6260U can sustain its 2.9 GHz turbo within the designed thermal envelope.

How loud and hot does the NUC6i5SYH get when running 24/7?

The compact chassis uses a small internal fan; under continuous load the fan becomes audible and the case warms noticeably, but stays within Intel's thermal limits.

Which monitor cables do I need to connect both MiniDP and HDMI ports?

You must supply a Mini DisplayPort cable for the MiniDP output and a standard HDMI cable for the HDMI output; neither cable is included.
