IntelNewest NUC 11 Extreme Mini Desktop NUC11BTMi9 Bundle with High Performance Docztorm i9-11900KB 8-Core, 32GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, RJ-45, SD Card, Win10P

I played with it for a month before I did this review. I was very surprised with the Intel UHD graphics, most of the games I play are racing and golf games. The UHD was able to play all my games, it did take them a while to load and most of them had to be played on low graphic settings. Once I got the MSI RTX 2060 in, it was a tight fit everything was played on flawless ultra settings. It has a free update to Windows 11 Pro. The only thing I didn't care for was the scull, not a scull fan but I was able to turn it off on the PC and the boot screen. The Bluetooth and wifi 6 work great. This is the first PC that has more USB 3 plugs than I have devices. The Thunderbolt 4 is great I have 2 hard drives on them for now I'm getting 250MB/s on one and 170MB/s transfer speed. (Update,) after owning this PC for 2 months I bought an m2 SSD for the PC and found out an m2 slot was bad the seller would do nothing for me and told me to contact Intel. I contacted Intel, and they warranted the PC and sent me a new one it had a bad m2 slot also. each time Intel send out a new PC they make you put $1300 deposit and pay 25 dollars for the new PC they say they will give back the $1300 once they receive the defective PC.

Works great. The only reason it lost a star is that they tighten the back four screws so tight that two screws became stripped and a third lightly damaged. I ended up drilling the heads off the two stripped screws and then I was able to open up the machine to install a graphics card. The screws were on so tight that I needed pliers to remove them (after removing the back plate). Luckily this just sits on a desk, so I am not really worried about it somehow coming loose ( it still has two working screws holding the plate on ). Despite this, the computer is quite awesome.

The Nuc 11 Extreme is small, but powerful gaming machine, I have an RTX 3060 12GB installed with the rig, and I was able to access the Compute Element and repasted the CPU with an Artic MX-6 thermal compound; It runs like butter.

My NUC Extreme is setting atop my old computer. The old computer is 4 times as large but much less computer. I can have a Linux VM running with 8GB of memory and 4 CPUs without slowing this computer down in the least. I really like playing League of Legend and game play is great while I run two VMs that are actively running heavy processes.

Don't want to rush into anything, haven't installed the video card yet, but so far quiet, fast, superb, along with the 34" curved monitor... no regrets!

The NUC11BTMi9 is a great product. It has room for a RTX 3060 (I used a dual fan card, but it can fit a full size) making this a powerful machine in a small form factor. One star off for getting a non answer to "what SSD model comes with the 1TB option?" and then getting a TeamGroup MP33

Item arrived just as described and sooner than expected.Seller was diligent answering my question about the license activation.So far no issues.I paired this one with the new RTX4070 and it works great.

This is the worst PC I have ever purchased in 35 years. Randomly reboots itself, or the screen turns green. I have not touched anything with the hardware. It should just work. I need to hear from Intel on a return.
