Review: Quiet, great upgrade for a home server over a 5 year old NUC - I bought this to replace a 5 year old 54250WYKH1 NUC (16GB RAM) I had running: - 7 high-def SECURITY CAMERAS - Web server - NODE RED - HOMEASSISTANT in Docker VM - WINDOWS 10 It'd get pretty overloaded at times, especially when performing background maintenance tasks. It was kind of lame waiting a few seconds for the lights to turn on sometimes, with some commands getting dropped altogether. I actually thought some of my home automation hardware was malfunctioning but it was all in the server. For anyone with an older 2 core HT computer you're using for things like this like the older NUC -- this really makes a huge difference. This new one has the same TPD as the 2014 version but literally twice the CPU power (benchmark verified) because of it's 4 core 8 threads (vs 2 +4) and GPU is about 50% faster on benchmarks -- BlueIris server takes advantage of the GPU, by the way. It also holds 32GB, I believe the old one only ran up to 16; though I will say that I don't seem to need more than 16 even with all the junk I'm running. One interesting thing regarding cameras: I'm not sure if has to do with the major upgrades to quicksync over the last 3-4 generations, but the thing appears way better able to offload camera stuff to the GPU, I used to range 50-90% CPU usage on the old one every time I took a look at my home cameras, now it's less than 15%. I bet this would also be pretty awesome as a second box for twitch streaming. I'm totally happy with this thing. I'm actually a bit sad it's in a server closet as it has some pretty great IO that's going to waste. It costs a bit more than a home-built solution like my all my other PCs but that mobile processor runs quiet, cold, and low power with that relatively fat blower fan on the top -- oh yeah, fan's been totally upgraded since 2014 as well. FYI: HDMI 2.0A is compatible with HDR 4k. I bet this would drive that no problem for movie watching. This is a TOTAL overkill for a HTPC though.
Review: Good all in one HTPC - So I had an Azule Byte3 as my HTPC to run videos to a plasma HDTV. I recently upgraded to a 4K OLED TV (which then made me decide to upgrade my surround system to 7.1.4 3-D surround). While the Byte3 was a good priced HD video player, it doesn't have 2.0a HDMI and doesn't have the hardware for playing all 4K HDR content. I then debated about what Intel NUC to get. At first I was contemplating getting a preconfigured NUC8i5. Then I priced out getting this NUC8i7BEH base with 16GB RAM, 250GB M.2 SSD, and Windows 10 Pro. Then I read some forums where people complained that this computer doesn't have true HDMI 2.0a (the interface itself is 2.0a, but it's being converted from Display port). I've now run some 4K content on this computer, and I've had no issues: it's probably overkill for any 4K video content. I assume the nay sayers are referring to playing intensive games at 4K HDR...but I always thought serious gamers don't set games to max settings in order to get high frame rates. I can say that after getting everything set up with Windows "HD settings" (available from the Fall Creator's upgrade), Netflix, Vudu, and my UHD files all look as good as from my Roku Ultra or Apple 4K TV. The only caveate I've found is that there's no Dolby Vision support yet. Dolby is only advertising some Lenovo notebooks for having Dolby Vision (and I see that one series, the Yoga C, has hardware that's less robust). So I assume at some point this system will be umbrella'ed into Dolby Vision. The only knock I have right now with the setup is installing Windows. It has been a few years since I setup a computer: my most recent computers have been preconfigured laptops or the Byte3. I bought the regular USB Windows Pro from desertcart, so I assumed it would at least have the drivers for network access. It didn't, so I could only setup my local user folder. The setup itself did go pretty quickly (but another word of caution is that the USB drive is not very good...it was pretty hard to get it in a USB port: you'd think that paying $140+ on the Software, Microsoft could supply a better USB stick). So once I found out Windows didn't have the drivers, I figured most the time would be driver installs and Windows updates. Intel does have a full driver pack that you can download. I thought I'd be able to install all drivers and that would be it. But the graphics driver wound up taking awhile: it kept giving error messages that my computer wasn't the right processor type. It wound up being that I had to keep on installing Windows updates until I had installed the latest Fall Creator's Windows update. That update also gives you HDR options in the display options. For video use, this NUC is very quiet. My everyday Lenovo laptop is much noisier (I've looked inside it and have seen fairly small fans and the ventilation isn't as great). The most intensive tasks I'll do is 3D animation. This NUC does have specs that make it good enough to be some more cores for a network render (since rendering is most about just number of cores you can throw in). The renderer will also push all cores to 100%...so I'm sure by that point I'd hear fan noise (but I'm also sure it won't nearly be as loud as a dedicated server or workstation).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the technical details section of this product listing correct? (os: windows 10, ram: 6 gb ddr4_sdram,  hd: 1 tb flash memory solid state)**
A: no, the details are incorrect.  this product has NO ram, NO hd, NO operating system. all will need to be purchased separately and self-installed.  please be aware that any but the small m.2 drive WILL NOT FIT.  DO NOT EXPECT customer support from intel or the ability to buy needed parts or get specifications from them.

 my nuc has been a $500 paperweight and my experience with intel horrendous.  i will never again purchase anything directly from intel.

**Q: whats the ram size ?????\**
A: Officially supports 32 GB.  I have 64 GB in mine and it works perfectly.  I used 2 of Samsung 32GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM Memory Module (260 Pin SODIMM, 1.2V) M471A4G43MB1).  Works perfectly.  Others have reported no problem with 64 GB.

**Q: Can I replace the WiFi card on this or is it soldered in?**
A: The WiFi/Bluetooth module is soldered and cannot be replaced.

Apart from the RAM and SSD, everything else is soldered and cannot be replaced.

**Q: Anyone else having overheating issues?**
A: No overheating issues with mine.  I do hear the fan kick on once in a while.  The room it's is never over 80f in case that matters.   Mine has been on for days at a time..   Keep in mind, I'm using an m2 nvme and not a spinning drive (or any 2.5" drive) and 2 8 GB memory sticks so it's pretty empty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bean canyon NUC is a silent, crazy fast little box
*by A***S on November 6, 2018*

This little guy has almost the same cpu passmark score as my old i7 4790 from a few years ago, in this form factor. It's crazy. The new bean canyon 8259u is a little monster of a cpu. I replaced an i5 7i5bnh with this 8i5bek, going from a sata Samsung 850 pro to a 970 evo nvme. Boots crazy fast, use corsair vengeance 8gb at 2400mhz. I use this primarily as a PC when I'm tweaking my main rig and it's out of commission. To be honest, this thing is probably overkill for even that. All I use it for is web browsing, YouTube, and some other work, but this can handle so much more I think I might try to use it as an always on, online music server for a cloud music server app to my cell phone or something. It runs silent, and hasn't touched 80 degrees even with tons of tabs open, YouTube playing, and multiple programs running at once. It just chugs right though all of them. The fact it's a quad core at these clocks, is this snappy and this cool/quiet at this TDP, is insane. The bios is bare bones, and the thunderbolt is a little finnecky to get working, but even now if I wanted to get an external gpu and use it on thunderbolt, I'm sure I'd have a good gaming experience if I tried to ask something crazy for a nuc to do. If you're looking for an overkill tiny form factor pc, check this one out. Honestly, if all you're doing is light browsing and YouTube, look at the 7i3bnh i3, last year's editions which are 6th or 7th gen cpus. They're great for light work. If you are a tab whore though, either kick that habit or get 8gb of ram. They're only dual cores, but if you're not doing much they work just fine. Highly, highly recommend. Amazing little NUC.
