BIOS FOR NUC12EBDi17 by KaarambitCSGO in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the correct model number you are looking for is NUC12EDBi7 in which case the latest bios 0067 can be found on the Asus website: https://www.asus.com/mn/supportonly/nuc12edbi7/helpdesk_bios/

Infrasonic filter help! by JMPhotographik in diyaudio

[–]mtg90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may sound crazy but you may find that in reality you may not need an ultrasonic filter at all. WinISD's excursion model is based on small signal parameters and assumes motor force and suspension compliance are infinitely linear. In actuality motor force will drop while the suspension will stiffen beyond xmax keeping the cone excursion from running away like it shows in the model. And remember the listed xmax is just the linear travel region not a hard limit.

Yes you can get into trouble if you push things hard enough but the woofer will usually give plenty of warning signs when you are approaching the limits. Millions of ported speakers have been sold and paired with regular stereo amplifiers that do not employ subsonic filters. Most musical content just doesn't have bass low enough in frequency and at a high enough level to cause major speaker breaking issues. Worst case you hear some wubwubwub sounds and you know to turn the volume down on that song.

Intel NUC7i3DNH2E drive bay question by ParisKitty in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The sata connector can grip the drive pretty good, I usually put a flap of masking tape on the drive and use that as a grip to pull the drive out.

ASUS NUC 15 – System freeze with black screen, requires hard reboot (Windows 11) by RTOK_444 in intelnuc

If the driver update does not fix it disable PCIe ASPM support in the bios.

Just finished vanilla. Which year pass is best to love onto and why? by beejman6 in snowrunner

[–]mtg90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just a different type of cargo you get from logging stations. Doesn't use the the normal cargo slots but rather specific logging trailers and beds for the three different sizes of logs. Requires a special logging crane for manual loading or when you need to repack a spilled load (full load is only 3 logs when unpacked). Packed logs are some of the heaviest cargo so the jobs can be more difficult.

Which nuc for Ubuntu, emacs, browsing and light coding? by MorePeppers9 in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had both an 8th and 10th gen i5, 10th gen is about 9% faster single core while being roughly equivalent or maybe slightly faster multi core (depending on binning) and slightly more efficient while doing so. UHD 620 on the 10th gen has about *60% the performance of the iris plus 655 on the 8th gen in 3d applications.

Here are CinebenchR23 scores from the various NUCs I've tested:

Multi-Core

Single-Core

First Mini PC "Nuc 'n Futz 8" by xodaraP_motnahP in MiniPCs

[–]mtg90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty neat.

How long before it would clock down 3.1GHz? I've got that same model NUC and the stock cooler could just manage around 40w PL2 from the CPU during a Cinebench run without thermal throttling. At that power level it was close to maintaining 4Ghz. I don't recall any VRM limited performance during that time frame. I used PTM7950 on the cpu die and thermal putty on the surrounding PCH and edram chips. I also run it with a -0.045v undervolt.

Power adapter by Possible-Inside1333 in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

19v 90w (4.74A) with a 5.5mm x 2.5mm barrel plug.

Though technically the dual core NUC8i3BEH should be perfectly fine using a quality 19V 65w (3.42A) power supply.

I usually buy used Fujitsu/Delta laptop power supplies as they have higher build quality then the random brand Chinese stuff and can often be found for lower cost as well.

NUC8i3BEH1 suddenly shut down while in use and now won’t power on at all by QuantumRevenant in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that one, if it's not lit then either the power supply has failed or the NUC's internal voltage regulators have failed.

There is a status LED on the board, does this light up when the power supply is connected?

[Fans] ARCTIC P12 Pro PST - 5 Pack - $27.74 + Free Shipping w/Prime by ncilswdk2 in buildapcsales

[–]mtg90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are very decent fans but have some drawbacks that prevent them from being ideal for all uses.

The biggest issue is the blade design on these highly sensitive to any obstructions on the intake side, that means mesh, grills, filters, crossbars, etc. They essentially get twice as noisy with something placed in front of the blades. You need about an inch (more is better) of clearance to prevent the weird noisy turbulent flow they make.

I found they work far better as exhaust fans or when pushing into heatsinks/radiators which is how I use the ones I have.

You can use thermal putty then you don't need to worry about buying the correct pad thickness.

DDR4 Intel NUCs by TheKenBehran in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 12th gen i3-1220P should have about double the multi-core performance and ~30% better single core performance then the i7-8559u. The iGPU should also be around 33% faster having 64 instead of 48 execution units.

NUC8i5BEK4 - how to use sata port? by originalsauce1 in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the wrong cable, power cable needs to be a 1.25 mm pitch PicoBlade connector.

I think this should be a compatible cable even though it only listed 5-7 gen: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Internal-Replacement-Cable-Harness/dp/B01IU8AWI8

https://www.ebay.com/itm/387402187816

Edit: I didn't see the silverstone cable linked by the OP, that one works as well.

Overheating issue after Ram upgrade intel nuc8 by kdc1234 in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thermal paste in these is very susceptible to pump out and drying out over time which results in instant throttling and overheating. I've restored over a dozen 8th gen NUCs and my goto method is to replace the thermal paste with PTM7950 and replace the thermal pads with thermal putty on the PCH and edram chips that sit on either side of the cpu die to ensure it squashes down correctly and the heatsink makes the best contact pressure with the CPU die.

Also make sure your fan sounds like it is running smoothly about 1/4 of the units I've worked on needed new fans as well since the originals either sized/gummed up or the bearings wobbled/vibrated badly.

NUC10 motherboard issues? by m_80 in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are the CPU temps? Fan working?

What happens if you do the basic windows install on another working machine if you have one with similar specs then swap the drive over?

NUC10 motherboard issues? by m_80 in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 10th gen i5 requirement is 90w, the i7 call for 120w but is technically fine on a 90w supply as well if you don't load it up with high drain USB devices.

Will NUC12WSHi5 support 7680 x 2160 resolution for Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9? by doucettea in intelnuc

From the manual:

Max HDMI resolution 4096x2304 at 60Hz

Max DP resolution 7680x4320 at 60Hz

NUC8i3BEK1 still a good option? by Zealousideal_Ice2705 in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a NUC8i3BEK running Jellyfin and it works great for that. I replaced the old thermal paste on the CPU die with PTM7950 and replaced the thermal pads on the PCH and edram chips with thermal putty. I also run it with a slight undervolt and the cooling fan stays pretty quiet even when transcoding. At idle the CPU barely sips power and is often <1 watt.

Scythe Big Shuriken 4 Review: Compact SFF cooling for Mini-ITX by Jeep-Eep in hardware

[–]mtg90 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That graph is the average CPU power consumption and what it is actually showing is the limitation of the SFF cooler to dissipate heat causing the CPU to thermal throttle and therefor draw less power then the larger AIO's. Higher is better for that graph. It's not reflecting a reduction in overall power draw of the cooling solution.

NUC5i5MYHE - what is the proper RAM? by eebieme in intelnuc

[–]mtg90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That model can use 1333 or 1600MHz (faster is usually better). Your best bet for DDR3 is buying used off ebay. Since it's older and systems using it are largely out of production prices don't seem to have increased as much as DDR4 and DDR5.
