Topic: Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC)

[Verbl Kint]

I tried playing some remuxed and m2ts files. Smooth playback. 

Was it @ 4k resolution, sir?  How was the audio?

[ASA]

Nuc5cpyh .. Celeron from compulink .  mem from pc express .  About P8K nuc + 4GB ,

As a media player you need to use linux if you want HD passthrough including ATMOS , as intel has not enabled the windows driver for HD passthrough in Braswell CPu , coming soon "pa raw" 

So just add a high speed Sd card (8gb is enough but the higher speed ones come in 16GB)  and your set for a very nice media player

Another 2K+ for ssd (buy where it is cheapest).. ..plus windows software , if netflix hd is also a requirement. Then you can use the alpha version of Krypton (kodi 17) for real nice MVC 3D streams ...

You need to make sure you buy the compatible type of  Memory,

Sir jambam, what brand/model of the 4GB RAM module did you buy (I just want to make sure it's compatible)? I'm planning on getting this NUC as well. Thanks.

Low voltage Kingston

Full HD lang. But the audio is being decoded by the NUC and not as passthrough hence MultiPCM appears on the receiver. I have read that PCM is also lossless so it can deliver HD audio.

*I don't have the display for 4K yet so useless pa for me at the moment.

I think you'll need at least the i3 version to be able to output 4K. plus it will only be 2160 @ 24-30hz. (HDMI 1.4 limit)

[yygoob]

i think you have to wait for the kabylake version for full 4k capability

[jambam]

For braswell processors. (Celeron n3050). Hd audio passthrough is supported via Linux / openelec/ libreelec .. So the hardware is capable but. Intel has not released the driver for windows ..it's promised but no definite date.

Is there a discernible difference in speed/performance between a regular ssd compared to a M.2 when used inside a nuc? (NUC5i3RYH user here)

There is, but you won't really know what you're missing until you run two NUCs side by side. Or maybe some people just pay more attention to these stuff than me.

So is the performance difference worth it? (i.e. purchasing M.2 instead of a ssd?) Thanks for the reply btw.

m.2 can come in sata and pcie. sata should be the same.pcie is theoretically faster.

imho main difference is the form factor, using m.2 will save space. yes it may slash 2 secs during boot times and is faster on benchmarks. but everyday use i'd highly doubt you will notice it's faster.

For me, no. Pero no choice ako kasi M.2 lang ang supported ng NUC ko.

I totally agree. Most users don't have a workflow that will regularly saturate most SSDs, whether SATA or PCI-E.

I have Linux Mint Mate installed in my NUC (Celeron version). I have installed Libreelec in a USB flash drive and wanted to boot the flash drive. Tried pressing F2 and F10 repeatedly after rebooting and startup but it still goes straight to the Linux Mint desktop. How can I boot from the flash drive? TIA

Maybe you need to go to NUC Bios and set booting priority to USB first..

Bro thanks for the response but pressing F10 should let me go to the BIOS. Deretso parin sya sa OS installed sa hard drive. Pressing F2 should give the option to choose from what source to boot from. Ayaw din. Looks like I have to do the longcut by taking out the hard drive nalang so it wouldn't have any choice but to boot up from the flash drive.

Doc,

try mo pag on mo just keep pressing f2 multiple times, hindi yung isang press lang

Wait doc, san nakakabit ang NUC mo? Sa TV ba? Wag mo sa TV kabit if thats the case, use a real computer monitor.

Yup multiple times ko pinindot.

Sa TV nakakabit. May diff ba kung TV or PC monitor?

[Courage]

Hi Doc,

Yes, may diff, hindi supported yung display ng TV pag wala sa loob ng Windows, meaning ayaw tanggapin ni PC yung display respolution ng TV kaya dumideretso sa Windows. Try mo doc with PC monitor

Ok thanks Boss Jason. Sana gumana!

Didn't know this. Good to know.

Pumasok naman sa BIOS. Toshiba 32" LED TV yan.

What did you press sir on bootup?

F2 lang multiple times bro
