Tall barebone for compact productivity

The ASUS NUC 13 Pro Tall barebone kit delivers a 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H processor with eight cores and integrated Intel UHD Graphics in a 4x4 form factor. It targets offices, digital-signage deployments and home labs that need quiet, VESA-mountable performance without a full-size tower. Buyers add their own DDR4 memory and NVMe storage to match the workload. The kit includes a Kensington lock slot and cable-locking arm for physical security in shared spaces.

Verify memory, storage and mount clearance

Confirm you have two DDR4 3200 SO-DIMM modules up to 64 GB total for dual-channel operation, as no memory is installed. The board provides one M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 slot and one M.2 2242 PCIe Gen3 slot, both keyed for NVMe drives; no 2.5-inch bay is present. Ensure the mounting surface accepts the supplied VESA bracket and that rear I/O clearance fits your cables. Wireless uses Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and Bluetooth 5.3; wired LAN is 2.5 Gbps via Intel i226V.

Sustained 24/7 operation with multi-display output

The system is qualified for continuous 24/7 duty, so thermals are tuned for long renders, signage loops or server tasks rather than short bursts. Dual HDMI and dual DisplayPort via Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports drive up to one 8K or four 4K 60 Hz displays simultaneously. Integrated UHD Graphics handles desktop composition and video decode steadily under load. Expansion bay accepts optional add-on modules for extra I/O without increasing chassis height.

Questions about this item

Does the ASUS NUC13ANHHi5 ship with RAM or an SSD, and what must I add?

The unit is a barebone kit with no memory and no storage installed. You must add two DDR4 3200 SO-DIMMs up to 64 GB total and choose an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe drive plus an M.2 2242 PCIe Gen3 NVMe drive.

Which DDR4 capacity should I pick for the two SO-DIMM slots?

Install two matching DDR4 3200 modules for dual-channel operation; the board supports up to 64 GB total, so 2 × 32 GB is the maximum.

What does the 2.5 Gbps LAN port deliver in everyday file transfers?

The Intel i226V controller provides a 2.5 Gbps wired link, so large copies between this NUC and other 2.5 GbE devices run at the full line rate instead of being limited to 1 Gbps.
