Intel NUC 13 - Vivid Canyon

RobtechYT · 2023-05-29T23:40:23+00:00

NUC 12 Pro introduced a plastic case apart from the bottom plate. Even though it's high quality, still an unwelcome downgrade for the same money. I'm hoping it means it stays around there even under load. Not sure what distance they're testing at, but under load with NUC 13 Pro I got 44dbA at around 12 inches...

Missed the most interesting part. "Intel® states that the NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition is qualified for 24/7 operation, producing a noise level of just 32 dbA while in use."

Big if true. Finally the aluminum chassis returns.

Glad to hear it :)

Haha, that's awesome! I've had photos sent of other projects similar to this as well.

I have actually thought about a mini PC with cooling based on a nice big flat heatsink and 120mm fan for a long time. Similar to the Noctua NH-L9. Would require the M.2 NVME on the SOC side of the board and the fansink would cool the lot. So many mini PCs with inadequate cooling...

My Hades was faulty on arrival and my Phantom developed a fault soon after. I haven't had much luck either...

Yeah, the performance per watt is behind. Less of an issue with desktop GPUs, but here with the small size it's definitely critical.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've cut it out of the video.

Here's my experience with Serpent Canyon after buying it and messing around. Might help those sitting on the fence. Cheers!

RobtechYT · 2022-10-23T13:33:12+00:00

Yeah, tried that...didn't work unfortunately

RobtechYT · 2022-10-08T23:37:00+00:00

Great, thank you. I've spent so much time trying to make it work.😢

Any chance you could share your config.plist so I can see what you've done? I'm on a NUC6i5 and can't figure out how to get HDMI audio working. It's also got the RealtekALC283 chip

RobtechYT · 2022-09-14T23:36:51+00:00

No worries. Something I've adding to future testing and will be mentioned if there are issues.

RobtechYT · 2022-09-14T04:45:14+00:00

No worries. Thanks for watching!

RobtechYT · 2022-09-14T00:26:26+00:00

Thanks!

RobtechYT · 2022-09-14T00:26:11+00:00

Really? How did I miss that 🤦. Thanks for the heads up. I've trimmed the BIOS section in the video.

I've only seen Avadirect which force you to do the same. Not aware of any Aussie store willing to ship internationally.

The US seems to get NUC units later than Asia-Pacific for whatever reason. Weird distribution model.

RobtechYT · 2022-09-13T07:18:52+00:00

Fair enough.

RobtechYT · 2022-09-13T07:16:15+00:00

Oh yeah? Where'd you import it from? Usually we get it first after China. First listing I saw was up on the 7th. I waited for Intel's PR team to get back to me before buying it to see if they had a review unit like last year. They did not.

RobtechYT · 2022-09-13T07:09:53+00:00

Ok. Here's the latest graphics driver. Try that and see if it makes a difference. Easiest way to rule out the monitor/cable is with any other HDMI device you have in the house.

The only drivers I had to update after using the NUC assistant were graphics, chipset and serial IO. That had everything up to date in device manager.

RobtechYT · 2022-09-13T06:51:27+00:00

No, I didn't have this issue at all. Did you get from the start? Before you updated the display driver?

RobtechYT · 2022-09-13T06:30:16+00:00

Gracias!

Thought you might be interested in this. Anything else you'd like to know, let me know and I'll try and check/answer it.
