There are besides two early variations available of this same NUC. NUC11PAKi7 is slightly slender and does not have a 2.5″ SATA slot. NUC11PAQi7 is slightly improbable and has a radio receiver Qi charger on the eyelid. Everything else, including the mainboard, is identical on these three models .

Panther Canyon vs. Tiger Canyon
The good news program is that the NUC11 comes in two flavours this year : NUC 11 Performance ( Panther Canyon, the exemplary reviewed right here ) and NUC 11 Pro ( Tiger Canyon ). And while the Panther Canyon was cancelled outside the APAC region the Tiger Canyon should be available global. It ’ s a bite confusing as these two are rather close to each other but multiple differences silent exist. I ’ thousand trying to summarize the differences here :
| Panther Canyon | Tiger Canyon | |
| CPUs i7 | i7-1165G7 | i7-1165G7, i7-1185G7 vPro |
| CPUs i5 | i5-1135G7 | i5-1135G7, i5-1145G7 vPro |
| CPUs i3 | i3-1115G4 | i3-1115G4 |
| TDP | 40W | 28W |
| HDMI ports | 1x HDMI 2.0b | 2x HDMI 2.0b |
| Thunderbolt | 2x TB3 | 1x TB4, 1x TB3 |
| Ethernet | 2.5GB Ethernet (I225-V) | 2.5GB Ethernet (I225-LM), Dual 2.5G LAN model available |
| WiFi | WiFi 6 with BT5, AX201 (soldered) | WiFi 6 with BT5, AX201 (in M.2 22×30 slot) |
| M.2 slots | 22×80 PCIe x4 Gen 4 | 22×80 PCIe x4 Gen 4, 22×42 PCIe 1x Gen 3 (not on dual LAN) |
| USB (type-A) | 1x front 3.1, 2x rear 3.1 | 2x front 3.2, 1x rear 3.2, 1x rear 2.0 |
| USB (type-C) | 1x front 3.1, 1x rear 3.1 | 2x rear (incl. DP 1.4a and USB 4) |
| Headers | HDMI CEC header | RS232 header |
| Microphone | Quad-array | – |
| Audio | HDMI, 3.5mm headset jack | HDMI only |
| Consumer IR | Yes | – |
| SD Card Reader | Yes | – |
| TPM | – | 2.0 (vPro models only) |
Unboxing and Assembly
The Intel NUCs are delivered as barebones units, so you ’ ll need to bring your memory modules and memory. This time I opted to install two Kingston ValueRAM KVR32S22S6/8 RAM modules ( presently $ 43.82 on Amazon ) for a full of 16 gigabytes of RAM. The Kingston KC2500 M.2 SSD drive ( 3500MB/s read, 1200MB/s write for the 250GB model, presently $ 41.24 on Amazon ) will fulfill my repositing needs as I left the 2.5″ SATA slot empty. It would have been decent to try out a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD drive, but unfortunately I did not have any on hand .
For forum you ’ ll just need a screw driver. Start by unfastening the four screws inside the rubber feet .
When you open the NUC you can immediately access the memory slots and the M.2 slot for storage. The 2.5″ SATA slot is in the cover and takes a soap. 7mm thick drive .
The memory modules fair click into their slots but the M.2 campaign needs to be attached with a modest prison guard. With these NUCs it ’ s actually significant to install two memory chips of the like type. This enables dual-channel memory mode which has a big positive impingement on the GPU performance .
Replace the buttocks cover and you ’ re done .
The general build quality of the NUC is good and I think the matte acme hat makes it look a bite more higher end when compared to the older glossy top lids.
Tear Down
I didn ’ thyroxine arrest there though. I wanted to see what went into my NUC. so I set out to remove the mainboard from the chassis .
After cautiously detaching the fragile WiFi antenna and loosening a match of fuck I was able to raise the mainboard out from the human body. On the other english of the mainboard you can see the update cool solution .
In cosmopolitan it seems that more care has been paid to the cooling than ahead .
