ASUS NUC15CRSU5 barebone mini PC, Core Ultra 5 225H, Arc, 64GB DDR5, 2TB NVMe

Compact AI mini PC for professionals

The ASUS NUC 15 Pro+ barebone delivers an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor with integrated Arc graphics in a slim chassis. It targets developers and content creators who need local AI acceleration and multi-display output without a full-size workstation. The system ships with 64GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 2TB NVMe drive pre-installed. Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1 enable up to four 4K screens simultaneously.

Check memory slots and M.2 lengths before ordering

Two 262-pin SO-DIMM slots support dual-channel DDR5 up to 96GB, so verify whether you plan to expand beyond the factory 64GB. Storage uses one M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5x4 slot (128GB to 8TB) and one M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4x4 slot (128GB to 2TB); confirm your drives match those lengths and keying. Wired networking runs at 2.5Gbps via an Intel i226V controller. Wireless uses Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4; ensure your router and peripherals support those standards.

Sustained load stays stable with smart power-off

The integrated Arc GPU shares system memory and thermal budget with the CPU, so extended render or compute sessions throttle gradually rather than spike. Four-display output at 4K increases memory bandwidth pressure, which the dual-channel DDR5-5600 configuration helps absorb. The chassis uses smart power-off to cut idle rails, reducing heat soak during long compile or inference jobs. Wi-Fi 7 maintains throughput when wired Ethernet is unavailable.
