Intel Core Ultra 5 125H Mini PC Barebone

This Intel NUC14RVHU5 barebone targets builders who want a compact desktop with a 14-core Core Ultra 5 125H processor and integrated Arc graphics. It suits small-form-factor workstations, home-theatre PCs or edge deployments where a 120 W power adapter and VESA mounting are preferred. Buyers needing discrete GPU performance or more than two storage slots should look elsewhere.

DDR5 5600 Memory and Dual M.2 Storage Limits

The board accepts two SO-DIMM modules up to 96 GB total at DDR5 5600 speeds. Storage is limited to one M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x4 slot and one M.2 2242 PCIe x4 slot; no 2.5-inch drive bay is provided. Wireless connectivity tops out at Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, while wired LAN reaches 2.5 Gbps via the Intel i226-LM controller.

Straightforward Assembly With Clearance Checks

Installing memory and SSDs only requires removing the bottom panel, but the tall 54 mm chassis height restricts cooler clearance to the included thermal solution. Both M.2 slots share PCIe lanes with Thunderbolt ports, so populating all four high-speed interfaces may reduce available bandwidth. The 19 V 120 W adapter uses a proprietary DC jack, so verify cable routing before final mounting.
