Purpose-built slim barebone

The ASUS NUC13ANKH5 is a 4x4 mini PC barebone kit built around a 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H processor with eight cores and integrated Intel UHD Graphics. It targets businesses and integrators who need a compact, VESA-mountable platform for digital signage, kiosks or office workloads. Buyers must supply their own DDR4 SO-DIMMs and NVMe storage to complete the system.

Sustained-load behaviour

Qualified for 24/7 operation, the chassis is designed to dissipate heat from the 13420H during continuous workloads without throttling in typical commercial scenarios. The included Kensington lock slot and cable locking arm add physical security for unattended deployments. No memory or storage is pre-installed, so thermal characteristics will vary with the chosen components.

Interface practical limits

Dual Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports enable up to one 8K or four 4K@60Hz displays, while the Intel i226V controller provides 2.5Gbps wired Ethernet. Wireless connectivity uses Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and Bluetooth 5.3. Storage expansion is limited to one M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 slot and one M.2 2242 PCIe Gen3 slot, both keyed for NVMe.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the Core i5-13420H get when the NUC13ANKH5 runs 24/7?

The NUC13ANKH5 is qualified for 24/7 operation, meaning its cooling solution is designed to handle continuous load from the 8-core Core i5-13420H without throttling or excessive noise in typical office ambient temperatures.

Which DDR4 SO-DIMMs and M.2 NVMe drives do I need to buy separately to complete this barebone kit?

You must add two 260-pin DDR4 3200 SO-DIMMs up to 64 GB total and at least one M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD for the primary slot; a second M.2 2242 PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD is optional for extra storage.

Will my older 4K 60 Hz monitors work with the Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI ports on this NUC?

Yes, the dual Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports and dual HDMI outputs support up to quad 4K at 60 Hz, so existing 4K 60 Hz displays connect directly without adapters.
