MINISFORUM NUCX Series Features

MINISFORUM announced the new NUCX series quite recently around July 18, 2022. Now we know the full specs. However, let us note a few more features. First of all, the design is striking. This is quite something new compared to the previous MINISFORUM’s Mini PCs. The housing of the device is slim and thin (measures 393.498×260.105×80.105mm). It looks more like a vertical laptop than a typical Mini PC. In addition, the iconic Intel “skull” logo attracts attention. There are also 4 larger openings in the casing and over 1,300 heat dissipation holes on one of the walls.

DeskMini NUCX also has an active cooling system consisting of specially designed 5 heat pipes, dual smart fan and liquid metal cooling system for CPU. In addition, the device is upgrade friendly and feature two SODIMM slots for up to 64GB of total DDR4-3200 memory and two M.2 2280 slots for PCIe SSD storage.
