      Just bought one, getting it in the next day or two. Got the last one on ebay new for $700 usd with tax (bare bones). You found a really good deal for $500. By the way @ 6:45 in your video where did you find that kingston fury 32 gig ram kit, looks to be dual rank (r2x8). I could only find the 32gig ram kit 16gig x2 but (1rx8) single rank ram. Dual rank is better if not over clocking but its quite rare.

    Hello, I ordered the same model and was considering if it would be better to get a desktop instead. and noticed that your previous desktop is pretty much like something in my mind. Ryzen 5600 and 4060. But as you changed your main PC from 5600X & 1080 to this, I wondered what made you use this PC as a main PC. Because of the mobility and design or was there any special reason?

    • @Glob3Tech
      @Glob3Tech  Рік тому +1

      Combination of reasons. Mainly, I explained this in the video. It was basically an unexpected surprise after me testing multiple mini PCs. Seeing how potent it is for my needs, then the added bonus of mobility, made it a clear choice for me, since I'm a big fan of SFF.
      Spec wise, yes, you might be better of with a desktop equivalent but it depends on what you want.

    Hey guys i had this enthusiastic nuc it was powerful but not that quiet i suggest this for normal multitasking and kinda for gaming, its true it can run most of triple AAA games but it will get noisy but it depends on how you leave the fan speed ,if you leave it on balanced it wont get loud but might get hotter, if you leave it on cool it will keep temps down but it will be louder if you wanna know how loud like normal gaming laptop.If you wanna buy this consider getting two 8 gigs of ram sticks dont buy a single stick of 16 gb ram or 8gb ram stick it will bottleneck i did that mistake and i got fps drops in gta 5 cuz i got only a single 16 gb ram stick so please dont make my mistake b ,I also saw all the reviews about it ,everyone said its quiet but not for me i returned it a week later ,the reviews might say its good , its not bad or anything wrong with it but some of them reviewed it out of the box like what device will not perform good out box so i got nothing against it .If you consider getting this its your choice, it didn't work for me but it might for someone else who knows

      Cool with the ram, what specs?
      I have one specific tip for this one, yes. Make sure to get a fairly recent copy of windows on a usb stick. Otherwise if it's way to old like I did (like very old), no ports will work on the nuc, not even the ethernet 😅 Then update its bios to the latest, from its website. Very easy since it's an executable. That's it. Win10/11 will take care of everything, as you saw in the video. 👍 Let me.know how it goes and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate.

      ⁠​⁠@@Glob3Tech, greetings to you too!
      So my first unit arrived a few weeks ago and it was unfortunately defective. One of the fans was badly balanced and was humming most of the time. The RAM I got is the Ripjaws 16Gx2 DDR4-3200 CL22-22-22-52.
      I was installing the latest available Windows and whatever drivers the automatic Intel driver update software recommended, plus the Nvidia drivers on the first machine. Then run several different stress tests before noticing the problem with the fan. It was a bit unstable, laggy and sluggish before all of the drivers were installed though.
      Got the second unit and just swapped SSD and RAM to run the same stress tests.
      I didn’t encounter any issues with the software neither with the first or the second unit, actually. Although I probably should swipe and make clean installation of everything on the second unit.
      It’s a really long time ago that I was setting up a computer last.
      In your opinion - what drivers/utilities should I install to utilise all of what this machine can offer?
      Is the automatic Intel Driver Utility + Nvidia drivers sufficient and scarce enough?

      Ah bummer with the broken fan on the first one.
      Yes, I would do a fresh install of everything for peace of mind.
      The only extra ones I use on all of my PCs, are the Core Temp app, so I can always see the cpu temps and power consumption. You can even set an alarm for it if it reaches a certain temp you wish to set up.
      Msi afterburner if you want to quickly see an overlay of all the stats (temps, cpu load, gpu etc) in a game.
      That's about it. Because it already has its own tuning and display app (Nuc Control Center) and the automatic update center. So yeah it's pretty looked after from factory.
      Last week I had a bios update for it. A simple executable. Very easy 😁
