ASUS NUC15CRHU5 barebone mini PC Intel Core Ultra 5 225H 64GB DDR5 2TB NVMe

Ready for work

The ASUS NUC 15 Pro NUC15CRHU5 is a compact barebone mini PC built around an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor with 14 cores and a 4.90 GHz maximum turbo frequency. It ships with 64GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 2TB NVMe SSD already installed. The system targets professionals who need enterprise-grade security through Intel vPro and multi-display productivity in a 0.48L footprint.

Connections and access

Dual HDMI 2.1 ports and Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1 support up to four 4K displays simultaneously. Wired networking runs over a 2.5Gbps Intel i226V LAN port while wireless uses Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The tool-less tall chassis opens without screws to reveal two 262-pin SO-DIMM slots for dual-channel DDR5 expansion up to 96GB and two M.2 slots (2280 and 2242) for additional NVMe storage.

Thermals and power

The 0.48L enclosure houses the 14-core processor and Intel Arc graphics within a constrained thermal envelope, so sustained heavy workloads will raise fan speed and surface temperature. Idle and typical office use remain quiet with modest power draw, while demanding compute or graphics tasks push the cooling system harder. The integrated 7.1-channel audio and vPro management features operate without adding measurable thermal load.
