ASUS NUC 14 Performance Mini PC Barebone Kit

The ASUS RNUC14SRKU91000UI is a barebone kit in the NUC 14 Performance series, designed for anyone who needs desktop-class power without dedicating an entire desk to a full tower. It arrives without memory or storage installed, giving you the freedom to choose components that match your workload and budget while keeping the overall footprint minimal.

At its core, the system features a 16-core Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor that clocks from 2.3 GHz up to 5.1 GHz. The integrated neural processing unit offloads AI tasks, which can accelerate content creation software and other emerging AI-enhanced applications. Graphics duty is handled by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, making the kit a strong choice for 3D modeling, video editing, VR development, or gaming sessions after work.

Three M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots allow you to install high-speed SSDs for an OS, project files, and media libraries, while two SODIMM slots accept up to 64 GB of DDR5-5600 memory. This flexibility lets you build anything from a quick boot environment for everyday office tasks to a multi-terabyte content workstation for professional production.

Connectivity is equally versatile. A Thunderbolt 4 port supports external GPUs, fast storage arrays, or dual 4K monitors through a single cable. Four USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports keep peripherals such as capture cards and color-grading panels within easy reach. Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5-gigabit Ethernet provide reliable networking whether you are streaming from the living room or rendering in a studio. For displays, HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a outputs let you drive up to three high-resolution screens, simplifying multitasking across timelines, code editors, and preview windows.

The chassis stands upright on the supplied stand to free up horizontal desk space, and the included 330 W power adapter delivers ample headroom for the CPU and GPU during demanding workloads. Whether you are a content creator, software developer, or enthusiast gamer who values performance in a tidy workspace, this kit gives you the building blocks to craft a system that feels tailored to your exact needs.
