ASUS NUC 13 Pro i5-13420H Barebone

The ASUS NUC 13 Pro NUC13ANKH5 is a slim barebone mini PC built around an 8-core 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H processor with integrated Intel UHD Graphics. It targets businesses and professionals who need a compact, VESA-mountable system for digital signage, kiosks or office productivity that can run continuously. Buyers who require discrete graphics performance or a pre-installed operating system should look elsewhere.

Included VESA mount and security hardware

The box supplies a VESA mounting bracket so the unit can be fixed behind a monitor or on a wall, plus a Kensington lock slot and a cable locking arm for physical security in public or shared environments. A US power cord is also provided. No memory modules, storage drives or operating system are included, so the integrator must source DDR4 SO-DIMMs and NVMe SSDs separately.

Thunderbolt 4 and 2.5GbE connectivity limits

Two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports deliver DisplayPort video and PCIe data, supporting one 8K or up to four 4K@60Hz displays, but total bandwidth is shared across all attached devices. The single 2.5Gbps Intel i226V Ethernet port and Wi-Fi 6E AX211 wireless link provide high-speed networking, yet real-world throughput will depend on cabling quality, switch capabilities and radio conditions.

Questions about this item

How do I upgrade the memory on the NUC13ANKH5 and what is the maximum capacity?

The board has two 260-pin SO-DIMM slots supporting DDR4 3200 in dual-channel mode. Maximum supported capacity is 64 GB.

What thermal limit appears first when the Core i5-13420H runs at full load continuously?

The 8-core processor will hit its thermal throttle point before the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet or Wi-Fi 6E AX211 interfaces reach any bandwidth ceiling.

How loud and hot does the slim chassis get during 24/7 operation?

Qualified for 24/7 operation, the compact 4x4 form factor uses an integrated cooling solution designed for sustained loads with the included VESA mount allowing optimal airflow positioning.
