Ready-to-build mini PC

The ASRock Industrial NUC BOX-N97/D5 is a fan-cooled barebone built around the Intel Processor N97 with four cores. It arrives without memory or storage so system integrators and home-lab users can choose their own DDR5 SO-DIMM and M.2 or SATA drives. The slim black chassis measures 117.5 x 110.0 x 47.85 mm and weighs 1.0 kg.

Expansion and display flexibility

A single 262-pin SO-DIMM slot accepts DDR5 4800 modules up to 32 GB. One M.2 Key M socket supports 2242, 2260 or 2280 SSDs via PCIe Gen3 x1 or SATA3, while a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port adds a 2.5-inch drive option. Triple display output is provided through two HDMI 2.0b ports and two DisplayPort 1.4a signals from the front USB-C connectors. Dual 2.5 Gbps LAN, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 handle wired and wireless networking.

Active cooling and 65 W power budget

The integrated fan keeps the N97 within thermal limits during typical office, signage or light edge workloads. Acoustic output stays low in normal use because the processor base power is modest. The included 19 V / 65 W adapter supplies the unit, leaving headroom for the chosen memory and storage without requiring an external power brick upgrade.

Questions about this item

Does the 19V 65W power adapter limit sustained performance on the N97?

The 65W adapter matches the system design; the 4-core N97 processor and integrated UHD Graphics draw well within that envelope under continuous load.

How loud is the fan during all-day operation?

The slim fanned chassis uses active cooling; fan speed scales with CPU temperature so acoustics stay low at idle and rise only under heavy sustained workloads.

Which DDR5 SO-DIMM do I need to add before it will boot?

One 262-pin DDR5 4800 module up to 32GB is required; the barebone ships with no memory installed.
