my friend has a newly bought intel nuc extreme 12 when he tries to turn it on the vents don't turn on and the screen says "enter power saving mode"

#

please help

Could you please post the exact model number of the nuc, and the website it was purchased off of? These 2 things well increase your chances of getting help quickly. (The Model can be found somewhere on the NUC or its box.)

It's this one I believe but I'm not sure

#

And I don't have the model right now I was on facetime with him

#

@robust rock did you... buy RAM and storage?

robust rock
#

(He is a newbie I know)

idle flax
#

right but what I'm saying is that if it's a barebones kit, it doesn't come with RAM and storage built in even when assembled out the box.

#

meaning it won't boot and there's your problem

#

If the screen is saying entering power save mode, that's the monitor not recognizing any input, i.e. no computer signal

robust rock
#

So it's more than the monitor

idle flax
#

right... they won't if they don't have a boot device

robust rock
#

Sooo

#

What should we do

idle flax
#

get an SSD and RAM

robust rock
#

How do you know it doesn't come with ssd or ram

#

And where are the sockets on that motherboard

#

Under the big skull box?

idle flax
#

If it's a barebones kit, which is what you linked then you need these things

#

there are build guides and tutorials and searches for compatible parts and how to install them

robust rock
#

Ye dw ik partpicker

#

And ram and ssd should be quite easy

#

I was just lost a bit because my own pc is for amd parts

robust rock
#

What else?

idle flax
#

that's about it

robust rock
#

Alright sweet

#

Thank you so much

#

Im glad it isn't a real problem

2x DDR4 3200Mhz (SODIMM)
so thats "laptop ram", the small ones
for drives its 3xm.2 and/or 2xsata
thats alot of m.2 on pcie 4.0

sorry, i think i was up for too long
your NUC uses "laptop ram" aka "sodimm"
the rated speed is 3200mhz
the label should say "PC4-25600S"
look for this when browsing ram

the drive part wasn't inportant, unless you want "maximumest"

robust rock
#

I figured out

#

But

#

The pc has no graphic card

#

Do yall have any model to recommend ?

If your looking to play mostly newer games you could give an Arc A770 or 750 a shot as they are pretty cheap pricewise. (Also check out the #intel-arc section(s) to see what others think about the Arc cards. If however you want to play both older and newer games I would likely go with something like an Geforce RTX 4070/4060 Ti they be a bit more expensive but should play everything.

You'll need to check the dimesisons of each card to be sure but most 2 slot cards should fit. Example build: https://www.engadget.com/intel-nuc-12-extreme-review-gaming-mini-desktop-171532497.html
There is also this page:
It doesn't have 40 series cards listed but if you match the dimensions vs the older cards should make it easy to find one that fits:

# robust rock But they don't fit in the extreme nuc 12 case right?

graphics card often come in 2 sizes
normal form factor, and small form factor
i have no experience with NUC's sadly
and im not sure if vendors of arc cards make small form factor versions, they would be less powerfull and could maybe be passive cooled(thats my experience with low-end nvidea cards)
i have heard about an A750M, could be a mobile chip on a pcie card

you could measure the space you have
and do research on what it actualy says vs what newer/other versions say ect
are they not set in stone peices you can order?

robust rock
#

The person just don't know anything about pc's so im doing it

crystal zephyr
#

i see big nuc's and small nuc's
the big one's maybe fit an underpowered gpu(small form factor?)
or heavy modifications need to be done, watercooling? stripping metal? open case?

Alright so all those informations are quite confusing

#

I thank you 2 for being invested

#

But could you @somber tendon send me like

#

2 or 3 gpus that fit into the nuc extreme 12

Ok ty
