Show more images of the product itself! You spend most of the time showing Luke... I don't watch the video to see him. I want to see the nice BIOS interface! show the power brick, show the screws, show a video of changing the cover, show a example setup of the NUC plugged to a screen! The games are playable at those FPS? Show a recording of the games for us to see how actually playing it is! You have so many editors and you are still have lazy videos with editing by the book... Up your game a bit Linus, you are better than this!
yea the first section of the video is him talking about the exterior design instead of actually showing the design in a shot, wth are we suppose to just use imagination
I was just about to comment that when I saw your comment! Couldn't agree more. We see more of Luke than the actual product! I want to see the NUC not Luke talking
Gotta say, this review seemed somewhat lazy. Its basically just footage of him talking. Didn't show it running the games or benchmarks, didn't even show the BIOS interface you praised. Barely got to see the NUC itself. Odd.
It's not a review. It's a bloody intel ad we all sat through. Wonder how much they got paid for this shit. 'playable framerate' meanwhile in the background you can see 25FPS jagged mess, piss off.
Energy Core I was thinking that but then a single 120 aint enough and a 240 is too big. If you mount it on the back of your monitor with a heatsink off it should be alright.
ClownFace1511 That would be a pretty fucking cool project. Building your computer into the back of your monitor for a ghetto as fuck all in one system. Liquid cool it while you're at it.
I know im asking randomly but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Castiel Gregory thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
+tpcs yeah because numbers are so much more visuel than actual footage. LTT's videos become more and more like "line work" boring scripts and overall they seem to put less effort in each video just to meet their "every day 1 video" policy
tpcs I didn't said that they DID. I said it SEEMS that they don't put as much effort in EACH video like in the old days just to meet their 1 vid every day policy. So basically it SEEMS they prefer quantity over quality and you can't argue with that.
well this+ razercore+GTX1070/RX480/some other card of a similar calibre is still more portable than like 95+% of systems but then again it is quite costly. I mean it is : $650 for the NUC $500 for the razer core $200-400 for a graphics card, I would suggest RX 480, because you don't really need more. But that is still $1350. But some ppl got more money than brainz am I rite?
You forgot the fact that this is a barebones kit and you still need an SSD etc. At this price it is honestly more economical to get a gaming laptop. You can get a similarly powerful laptop for under 1k if you're lucky and don't forget the laptop comes with a screen, speakers and microphone.
Give it 8gb of 1600mhz ram and you will be hitting 50fps on low settings at 720p. Now i dont know how this one exactly goes however I owned a Mac Mini late 2012 with a duel core 2.6ghz and it ran csgo at that "framewate" This would be perfect on it with 16ghz. Probably even push it to 1080p i plan to pick one up for myself
This most likely won't be seen by the Linus team. Can you rerun the benchmarks test with faster and more RAM than 16GB 2133Mhz that you used in the video. I want to see how the CORSAIR Vengeance Performance 32GB (2 x 16G) 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Model CMSX32GX4M2A3000C16 will perform in the Intel Skull Canyon NUC. I want to see the timings and frequency of the RAM that the Intel Skull Canyon NUC performs at.
Alright. Why isn't the NUC in view on the table when we see Luke behind his table. It would give us a sense of scale of the thing. All we got to see of the NUC is fancy B-roll footage which gives us no sense of scale whatsoever. . Is this an attempt to mislead the cunsumer? We all know you are sponsored by them. What's the reason behind this or is this just pure chance?
There you go. See if you use your brain like this guy then maybe you won't get so worked up about something that seriously does not matter. Like seriously, "Is this an attempt to mislead the consumer?" No, its not... they just simply didn't decide to put it on the table beside him. Simple thing that you are trying (and failing) at making into some big deal.
Am I the only one who noticed the mistake with the Razer Blade Stealth specs ? I'm pretty sure the Razer Blade Stealth runs i7-6500U and not 6700HQ.. 6700HQ is the normal Razer blade I think ?
BloodRayne559 what i do understand is i put in my pocket and i cant use it . i move around (go to a friends house )and pull it out connect and power it up , i still cant use .why? well no ram ,no drives and no GPU. and no i will never rely on iGPU because it lacks performance or do you wanne bragg with your igpu that does 30 FPS?. now to get an unuseable device for 650 dollar is no match to an useable barbone for same price and even that you cant put it in your pocket but is small and light enough to move around with it.how much cost an laptop these days ? yea right...... price pretty average?? you work at intel??
MrBall Breeder Please find me a laptop as powerful as this NUC for the same price. Once you buy RAM and a drive for the NUC, it will be cheaper than any laptop with the same performance.
i know there is no block can mount on this Skull Canyo but Linus can do badass stuff, right?? may be the water cool radiator is too big but think about this small pc even the radiator is big, it still smaller than a desktop may be the performance come from water cool is worth it, isn't it?
Most console players only ever play their shooter games @30 fps. I know it's not PC master race mentality to bring up console when defending the performance of a PC but this is ten times smaller than any console or PC yet still has this much power. When coming from something this size those frames are perfectly respectable.
I agree with a lot of people that say that you haven't done a great review of this product, I would have liked to know if things such as fan speeds could be tweaked for absolutely NO throttling, bad temp range, ect. Just some constructive feedback though.
Doubt it would be an issue, as you dont have to deal with gpu compatibility. If it uses an intel wifi chip (more than likely), you would have to replace that for a broadcom chip, but other than that, I dont see any reason you woudnt be able to...
+Shreesha S besides that im just worried the DSDT and SSDT of this NUC may be hard to edit... I know there is specific tutorial for previous NUC, not sure if anything is available for this cool NUC
Yeah, unless you cherry pick parts for a hackintosh build, you will have some little thing go wrong... Tried getting yosemite to run on my razer blade 14 for the multitasking gestures, but it was a pain getting the keyboard, trackpad, and igpu to be recognized...
I have the Skullcayon Nuk with an Akitio Node eGPU running Asus’s Dual 1060 GTX 6gb GDDR5... It’s absolutely perfect for video editing, music production, DJing (esp Video DJing with the EGPU) and of LAN parties. I have mine set with 32GB of ram and 2 1TB M.2 drives. Drive one is OS and software and drive 2 is files and projects I am working on or with.
i own the NUC6i7KYK. not a gamer - but love the device for the performance. i use it mostly for a small footprint media server. But, this thing is capable of so much more.
+Dantheman1you0 I have my doubts about that, but anyways, 30fps being playable really depends on the game. For example, Dark Souls 3 at 30fps feels fine while Witcher 3 at 30fps feels horrible.
A few things about this video that seemed off: -No footage of the NUC itself for almost the first minute and a half, even as Luke is trying to describe its relative size. Once we do get to see the NUC, it's not until 3:01 for the whole unit on the outside. -So...no exact measurements of weight and dimensions? Kinda odd when Linus tends to spit out entire model numbers sometimes. -Luke's talking about the BIOS having a GUI and whatnot, but no footage of that either? (3:45) Maybe this is because it's almost 2 AM where I'm at but this whole video seemed off in terms of video footage. Review was ok too I guess,.
I'd most certainly take another inch of height if it meant the Iris Pro could keep at its boost clocks. With 72EUs, the performance seems like it should scale a lot better compared to the 48EU part, and purportedly bandwidth isn't yet the issue. Anandtech showed it was running right up against its tjunction max (I think 99C?), and the GPU was dropping back to base clock from there.
You should try under-volting it. You may win the silicon lottery and reduce heat. I won once on a very old Atom, i dropped the voltage by almost 20% and it still worked 100% fine under full load , it was a freak of nature.
While I got an idea of how big it is, when talking about a "tiny" PC it would be nice to see it next to something, or someone holding it so we can get a better sense of the size.
For reviews focused on tiny/portable systems it'd be nice to get the volume and weight of the power bricks along w/ the devices themselves. (that often ends up to be the harder spec to find!)
Here's an suggestion with a neglected cpu release with kickass IGPU: - i5 5675C Iris pro 6200 with equal performance to Iris pro 580 The igpu's prefer a faster ram, so pair it with a 2400mhz ram on a Z/H97 board and you're good Hell, that's what i'd call portable too
Hello. I have a little build question, if someone could help me: TLDR: What is better: a) 4 sticks of 1600mhz (all will be hyper x black) b) 2 sticks of 1600mhz and 2 sticks of 1866mhz (all will be hyper x black) Explanation: I already have two stick (ddr3) of 1600mhz ram, and I'm willing to buy another two stick (ending up with 4). Should I pick one identical of the first ones (same brand, 1600mhz), or should I buy two sticks of 1866mhz (same brand also, hyper x)? They are the same price in the local store. In theory , the new 1866 sticks will operate at 1600mhz along with the first two sticks. What I'm afraid is if this can cause some small minor issues when in the end the perfomance is lower (even if it is imperceptible).
I have an idea for you guys: I've been working on a portable party machine using my AsRock BeeBox N3150 NUC. It can handle simple 2D games (To which a lot of local coop party games are) and it has bluetooth connectivity (Which means Xbone S controllers and Steam Controllers can hook up to it), but it's one downfall is a relatively weak iGPU that can't handle 3D applications very well. It's pretty cool what the Iris 580 can do but I think you guys are approaching this wrong. Crysis 3 at 30 fps? Guys -- how does it run Gang Beasts? Human Fall Flat? Genital Jousting? Hook it up, throw in like 8gb of RAM and a 120gb SSD (Plenty for these types of games), connect up some controllers, load up a Steam Library full of games on it and go ham. You literally have a pocket gaming machine. Gang Beasts, Genital Jousting, Stickfight: The Game, Brothers: A tale of two sons, etc.
Anyone else notice in a video about how small something is it doesn't at any point show it next to anything standard sized with very random descriptions of its size and weight? I guess Luke made this video when they didn't actually have one and they just filmed B roll at a different time, would really have helped to see him handle it at all
I think you should include media playback tests on these boxes as many wants to use them for this. Home cinema users wants to know if DTS HD MA 7.1 / Dolby TrueHD 7.1 (hence DTS:X and Dolby Atmos) will playback correct on the chipset and so forth. Just a suggestion. :)
I want a video of the smallest computer you can build, and outperform beasts. Goal: to be able to pass through TSA security, and be able to put it in the overhead compartment.
Well its pretty cheap for a bare bones pc, and then theres the incredible efficiency(think of electricity bills) Xeons on the other hand would cost the earth, especially for multiple physical processors. But yea you're right they throttle under load, it sounds like they need a custom home built water-cooling rig, that should handle the heat problem.
actually when you say it includes a thunderbolt 3 port. the price becomes compleatly on par with the desktop pricing. I don't know if the 3d print specs include over the fan shroud, but it should be a "relatively" easy mod to allow mounting an AIO water cooler to it if you have a 3d printer. if else, nothing a caliper and some time can't solve. This may be the best deal for a pc aiming at small form factor out there.
I've been building tiny computers forever but they almost always have heat issues after using them for a long time. Prebuilt solutions like this are very tempting because they have been somewhat engineered to function at this size. Can't wait for more reasonable external graphics solutions to become available and more cost competitive.
It would've been great if Intel went with Iris Pro 6200 on a Broadwell CPU rather than Iris Pro 580 on a Skylake CPU. 5:21 You can hit 60FPS on those games at those settings (maybe not TR) with Iris Pro 6200.
Hey guys. Please take a look at the potential of the cheaper nucs as well not just the expensive stuff. I want to know if the cheaper NUCS are good for low demanding gaming.
4:50 "Totally playable frame wate"
ofc 30 fps is playable. even 24 is considered playable although bit choppy. Do you expect 60 fps out of iGPU?
Dude, he's talking about the way Luke said "frame rate"
dat fwame wate
5:15 25sps? :o
30 FPS is totally playable... just not enjoyable.
wait, Amazon affiliate code? I thought you guys effed that up?
probably a video they had in the pipeline before all that happened
+RollADsix have to watch the last lan show. they don't really say; other than they aren't an affiliate anymore.
These vids are prerecorded and then uploaded in a schedule
They got kicked out of the program. Linus said something about violating the service when they told you to bookmark there Amazon affiliate code.
#LinusPrerecordedTips
Show more images of the product itself! You spend most of the time showing Luke... I don't watch the video to see him. I want to see the nice BIOS interface! show the power brick, show the screws, show a video of changing the cover, show a example setup of the NUC plugged to a screen! The games are playable at those FPS? Show a recording of the games for us to see how actually playing it is! You have so many editors and you are still have lazy videos with editing by the book... Up your game a bit Linus, you are better than this!
yea the first section of the video is him talking about the exterior design instead of actually showing the design in a shot, wth are we suppose to just use imagination
Wanted to see the bios after he talked about it.
It kind of felt like they didn't actually have one to review and just went off stock footage.
I agree. Seems like a bad product as well.
I was just about to comment that when I saw your comment!
Couldn't agree more. We see more of Luke than the actual product! I want to see the NUC not Luke talking
Gotta say, this review seemed somewhat lazy. Its basically just footage of him talking. Didn't show it running the games or benchmarks, didn't even show the BIOS interface you praised. Barely got to see the NUC itself. Odd.
Atleast they put the Intro in there...
Completely agree.
It's not a review.
It's a bloody intel ad we all sat through. Wonder how much they got paid for this shit.
'playable framerate' meanwhile in the background you can see 25FPS jagged mess, piss off.
damstachizz
To be fair it's pretty impressive for an igpu and really not the intention of the product.
your guesstimate is wrong my chipotle burritos weight between 10 and 15 pounds

Am I the only one thinking of 3D printing a custom enclosure for this to somehow cool it with a Hyper 212 evo or something crazy?
That'd be pretty cool but defeat the purpose of portability.
Perhaps an AIO cooler is a more elegant solution?
Energy Core I was thinking that but then a single 120 aint enough and a 240 is too big. If you mount it on the back of your monitor with a heatsink off it should be alright.

This might be portable, but what the hell man, what kind of statement is that?
Love the fact that the NUC isn't even once shown next to an actual human so you could see the actual size of it..

Where is this Skull Canyon with Razer Core video? It's been 5 months!
I want that video too!! :(
the stealth has a quad core?
No. It's a anemic 15W dualcore. Video is wrong.
the stealth has a dual core i7-6700u the normal blade has a i7 6700hq quad core
+Basil Goh i7 6500u**
Razer Blade Stealth: i7-6500u

WHERE IS THE RAZER CORE WITH NUC VIDEO?!?!?!? I need this in my life lol
frame weight heh heh heh
Heh heh heh
Ayyy, I was going to say that too. XD
Between that and 20 sps in tomb raider I almost lost it.

How much fps in CSGO ? then this device is perfect for transport to lan partys
cs would probs get 60 low
well this+ razercore+GTX1070/RX480/some other card of a similar calibre is still more portable than like 95+% of systems but then again it is quite costly. I mean it is :
$650 for the NUC
$500 for the razer core
$200-400 for a graphics card, I would suggest RX 480, because you don't really need more.
But that is still $1350. But some ppl got more money than brainz am I rite?

4:50 Frame Wate
5:15 FPS? He seems really tired or something...
the fps is not bad but i mean like you can take it with you anywhere and its also smaller than a laptop!
Am I the only one who noticed the mistake with the Razer Blade Stealth specs ? I'm pretty sure the Razer Blade Stealth runs i7-6500U and not 6700HQ.. 6700HQ is the normal Razer blade I think ?
650 dollars? no dedicated gpu? no ram?no drives?
HELL NO!!!!!
But you're getting a high end i7, with an entirely custom motherboard and case. The price is pretty average for the hardware in it.
LiquidPanic full barbones for same price doesnt mean anything to you i gues.
BloodRayne559 what i do understand is i put in my pocket and i cant use it . i move around (go to a friends house )and pull it out connect and power it up , i still cant use .why? well no ram ,no drives and no GPU.
and no i will never rely on iGPU because it lacks performance or do you wanne bragg with your igpu that does 30 FPS?.
now to get an unuseable device for 650 dollar is no match to an useable barbone for same price and even that you cant put it in your pocket but is small and light enough to move around with it.how much cost an laptop these days ? yea right......
price pretty average?? you work at intel??
man you can get a monitor for 200$ and turn it into a pretty powerful all-in-one for like 800$, thats not bad at all
MrBall Breeder Please find me a laptop as powerful as this NUC for the same price. Once you buy RAM and a drive for the NUC, it will be cheaper than any laptop with the same performance.
I really like the optical solution opens this up to media centers
how about water cooling it?? mount it all behind monitor and smash all the performance into this all in one
Yeah a water cooler would fit into that for sure...
Probably not worth the difficulty of doing so.
...so the pipes, the contact pad, and the massive radiator in that... NO.
i know there is no block can mount on this Skull Canyo
but Linus can do badass stuff, right??
may be the water cool radiator is too big
but think about this small pc
even the radiator is big, it still smaller than a desktop
may be the performance come from water cool is worth it, isn't it?
火柴人Ex改 ...
4:51 Hmmmmmm totaly playable "FwameWeight". My interest has peaked
I always thought the nuc was an ssd... wow
You can probably mod the NUC to have an aftermarket cooler. Even if it's small, it'll be better than default.
31FPS on a shooter is "totally playable" ? You guys have low standards. :')
it all depends on the game, some games still run smooth with lower FPS, if it isn't stuttering or tearing it's playable
Its fairly small you know so 31fps is kinda good for that size
he wasnt expecting much from a computer smaller than a graphics card...
it is playable. its not ideal, but it is playable. the consoles prove this. you have low standards on your definitions of English words.
Most console players only ever play their shooter games @30 fps. I know it's not PC master race mentality to bring up console when defending the performance of a PC but this is ten times smaller than any console or PC yet still has this much power. When coming from something this size those frames are perfectly respectable.
I just drank a fifth of vodka Luke, dare me to drive?
It's been 5 months since Luke promised to make a video with Intel NUC + external GC. So... where is this test?
I agree with a lot of people that say that you haven't done a great review of this product, I would have liked to know if things such as fan speeds could be tweaked for absolutely NO throttling, bad temp range, ect. Just some constructive feedback though.

30 fps is not playable for shooter games
+Stefan Sulejic lol
+Stefan Sulejic actually, next gen runs 60 for mp shooters
+Gerzo they do.
nah
Any competitive game worth a crap runs at 60, such as every COD multiplayer and Titanfall.
i own the NUC6i7KYK. not a gamer - but love the device for the performance. i use it mostly for a small footprint media server. But, this thing is capable of so much more.
Stop complaining about 30 fps being unplayable. It's playable. You're not going to bleed from your eyes. Get over yourselves and stop whining.
I want to rip my hair from my skull when playing at 30 fps. You won't die but it is very unpleasant.
But that's just wrong
Have you even experienced 60fps?
TheBobbyBoy Obviously
+Dantheman1you0 I have my doubts about that, but anyways, 30fps being playable really depends on the game. For example, Dark Souls 3 at 30fps feels fine while Witcher 3 at 30fps feels horrible.
don't forget that big power brick that you should add into the weight and volume, which makes this whole setup a double size and double weight
I thought this was a useless tech over $100 video...
lol no - it isn't Apple..
A few things about this video that seemed off:
-No footage of the NUC itself for almost the first minute and a half, even as Luke is trying to describe its relative size. Once we do get to see the NUC, it's not until 3:01 for the whole unit on the outside.
-So...no exact measurements of weight and dimensions? Kinda odd when Linus tends to spit out entire model numbers sometimes.
-Luke's talking about the BIOS having a GUI and whatnot, but no footage of that either? (3:45)
Maybe this is because it's almost 2 AM where I'm at but this whole video seemed off in terms of video footage. Review was ok too I guess,.
I love LukeTechTips
I'd most certainly take another inch of height if it meant the Iris Pro could keep at its boost clocks. With 72EUs, the performance seems like it should scale a lot better compared to the 48EU part, and purportedly bandwidth isn't yet the issue. Anandtech showed it was running right up against its tjunction max (I think 99C?), and the GPU was dropping back to base clock from there.
I love how the sponsor plug was filmed at a completely different time.
is there any g-sync or free-sync equivalent for intel iris gpu please ???
Love the NUCs! Have a handful of their other models deployed at work. Can't wait to see this one in person!
Tip for future videos about tiny things - show it in your hands so we can actually see the size of it :P
You should try under-volting it. You may win the silicon lottery and reduce heat. I won once on a very old Atom, i dropped the voltage by almost 20% and it still worked 100% fine under full load , it was a freak of nature.
While I got an idea of how big it is, when talking about a "tiny" PC it would be nice to see it next to something, or someone holding it so we can get a better sense of the size.
For reviews focused on tiny/portable systems it'd be nice to get the volume and weight of the power bricks along w/ the devices themselves. (that often ends up to be the harder spec to find!)
intel skull canyon nuc+ powercolor devil box gpu dock = ultimate portable gaming machine
Pretty soon my phone will be more powerful than my $2000 custom desktop
Define soon though...
"Sans the skull" - 2016 Luke
This should get a revisit once the external GPU enclosures are released.
A Full Tower Case Ad on a NUC Review. Insane!
The razer blade stealth isn't offered in a 6700hq- they were thinking of the normal razer blade.
That bit with "I don't like small computers. Screw you! I don't wanna watch videos about small computers." was cute as fuck. No homo.
USB Type-C, not Thunderbolt port. The DisplayPort is the thunderbolt port, if anything, the Type-C can only be a Thunderbolt enables USB port.
Here's an suggestion with a neglected cpu release with kickass IGPU:
- i5 5675C
Iris pro 6200 with equal performance to Iris pro 580
The igpu's prefer a faster ram, so pair it with a 2400mhz ram on a Z/H97 board and you're good
Hell, that's what i'd call portable too
"The cpu heated up to 87 degrees Celsius during our 7-zip benchmark and 79 during our crysis 3 skybox test."
Graph says 79 in 7-zip and 87 in Crysis.
Really missing the device being on the desk in front of Luke - feels very odd without it.
What was that video up right at the end? I couldn't click on it. Nice review, by the way Luke.
Hello. I have a little build question, if someone could help me:
TLDR:
What is better:
a) 4 sticks of 1600mhz (all will be hyper x black)
b) 2 sticks of 1600mhz and 2 sticks of 1866mhz (all will be hyper x black)
Explanation:
I already have two stick (ddr3) of 1600mhz ram, and I'm willing to buy another two stick (ending up with 4).
Should I pick one identical of the first ones (same brand, 1600mhz), or should I buy two sticks of 1866mhz (same brand also, hyper x)?
They are the same price in the local store.
In theory , the new 1866 sticks will operate at 1600mhz along with the first two sticks. What I'm afraid is if this can cause some small minor issues when in the end the perfomance is lower (even if it is imperceptible).
i would go with identical ram sticks. incompatibility issues may arise from mix matching ram sticks.
Everyone I've ever talked to says go with identical ram.
I have an idea for you guys:
I've been working on a portable party machine using my AsRock BeeBox N3150 NUC. It can handle simple 2D games (To which a lot of local coop party games are) and it has bluetooth connectivity (Which means Xbone S controllers and Steam Controllers can hook up to it), but it's one downfall is a relatively weak iGPU that can't handle 3D applications very well.
It's pretty cool what the Iris 580 can do but I think you guys are approaching this wrong. Crysis 3 at 30 fps? Guys -- how does it run Gang Beasts? Human Fall Flat? Genital Jousting?
Hook it up, throw in like 8gb of RAM and a 120gb SSD (Plenty for these types of games), connect up some controllers, load up a Steam Library full of games on it and go ham. You literally have a pocket gaming machine. Gang Beasts, Genital Jousting, Stickfight: The Game, Brothers: A tale of two sons, etc.
Is it possible to put the entire thing in a water cooling loop?
IN a water cooling loop?... maybe.
Would be quite neet to see a dual system build made for streaming, maybe even adding in that VR guide from a little while ago.
Anyone else notice in a video about how small something is it doesn't at any point show it next to anything standard sized with very random descriptions of its size and weight?
I guess Luke made this video when they didn't actually have one and they just filmed B roll at a different time, would really have helped to see him handle it at all
I think you should include media playback tests on these boxes as many wants to use them for this. Home cinema users wants to know if DTS HD MA 7.1 / Dolby TrueHD 7.1 (hence DTS:X and Dolby Atmos) will playback correct on the chipset and so forth. Just a suggestion. :)
The blade stealth is only equipped with a 6500U and not a 6700HQ. I suppose you have mistaken it with the 14" blade, which has a 6700HQ.
I want a video of the smallest computer you can build, and outperform beasts. Goal: to be able to pass through TSA security, and be able to put it in the overhead compartment.
critique: the product you are reviewing didnt appear only after 2 mins
for a large portion of the vid i had no idea what this is
"It's the same weight as a chipotle burrito". If it's anything like the burritos I get at chipotle, it's ridiculously heavy
Wonder how these would work, using multiple of them for network rendering.
you can also try to ask on our forum for this nuc intelskullcanyonforums.com/
Well its pretty cheap for a bare bones pc, and then theres the incredible efficiency(think of electricity bills)
Xeons on the other hand would cost the earth, especially for multiple physical processors.
But yea you're right they throttle under load, it sounds like they need a custom home built water-cooling rig, that should handle the heat problem.
Speaking as a fellow patchy facial hair guy i cannot fathom how Luke can keep his beard that length, that is the 100% 'itchy peak' on the beard graph.
"Sans the skull", thanks for reminding me of undertale!
actually when you say it includes a thunderbolt 3 port. the price becomes compleatly on par with the desktop pricing. I don't know if the 3d print specs include over the fan shroud, but it should be a "relatively" easy mod to allow mounting an AIO water cooler to it if you have a 3d printer. if else, nothing a caliper and some time can't solve. This may be the best deal for a pc aiming at small form factor out there.
surprised the NUC was not on display not once during this whole video except for some random images... Seems unusual...
I've been building tiny computers forever but they almost always have heat issues after using them for a long time. Prebuilt solutions like this are very tempting because they have been somewhat engineered to function at this size. Can't wait for more reasonable external graphics solutions to become available and more cost competitive.
Thunderbolt 3? Razer Core! This think has one very nice cpu and with an external GPU you could make it really interesting for Lan Parties
Looking forward of that NUC +eGPU test! :)
Doesn't the razer blade stealth have a 6500u??
If you're looking for good performance in a tiny box, then review the new alienware alpha.
When luke reads the teleprompter, and thinks "What the fuck," before saying some weird measurement.
You can tell luke just freaking woke up...... "Totally playable frame WATE" "25 sps"
Give us some insight on IGD Memory and IGD Aperture Size. :)
The question is how well this little guy would do with an external GPU enclosure. Talk about minimalist.
Idea: can iGPUs nowadays help? Because DX12 basically should allow you to do that...
TOTALLY PLAYABLE FRAME WATE 4:50, I'm dying XD
Hey, where are the custom thumbnails going? Behind on schedule?
It would've been great if Intel went with Iris Pro 6200 on a Broadwell CPU rather than Iris Pro 580 on a Skylake CPU.
5:21 You can hit 60FPS on those games at those settings (maybe not TR) with Iris Pro 6200.
Love how the Skull Canyon NUC is supposed to combat with full-size desktops, yet the video is sponsored by the MasterCase 5.
Just got one on ebay with 32gigs ram and 1TB ssd for $475.46 on ebay. Great way to upgrade for nearly nothing.
yo is it good i want one but i don't know if it'l be good in 2021
@@secure-5593 yeah is it good with some games or at least streaming?
Hey guys. Please take a look at the potential of the cheaper nucs as well not just the expensive stuff. I want to know if the cheaper NUCS are good for low demanding gaming.
