I had a passive cooled NUC at home but sent it back because it made loud high frequency noises. The company I ordered from told me that this seems to be a common problem with haswell nucs.

strange never heard it before, and the case seems to be http://www.impactics.com/d3nu1-25-s/

Thank you for your suggest i will check better before buy a nuc

Had planned on waiting for this but this temperature doesn't sound good.

How does this compare with this gigabyte brix?

yeah, a real bummer. Except for the high frequency noise it was the perfect box for me. Thanks to the 5000 graphics unit it has even enough power for (not too graphic intensive) gaming.

This is an excerpt from the mail they sent me (translated from german):
"I had the chance to talk to someone at Intel and it seems that it is a common problem with the new Haswell NUC-systems Intel is well aware of".

from techpowerup.com:
ZOTAC has found the plastic film to be isolated to preproduction units. These preproduction units were only used for press sampling and are not representative of final units shipping to retail. However, the plastic film has very little impact on the cooling capabilities of our passive ZBOX C-series nano chassis since the cooling fins that are responsible for the majority of the heat dissipation duties is below the thermal pad. The thermal pad is only used to transfer heat to the secondary heat dissipation plate integrated into the chassis for added cooling capabilities.

Nevertheless, the temperatures observed while testing under load with the erroneous plastic film still in place is still within the thermal guidelines of Intel’s 100°C maximum T Junction and does not cause instability. Temperatures observed by users can vary greatly depending on room temperature and system placement since the ZBOX CI540 nano is passive cooled. We apologize for the error but assure our mass production units are not affected.

Crap.... i was going to buy a Haswell NUC... but high pitch noise for me is unacceptable ..

This high pitch noise affects all Haswell Nuc Units?
do they get replaced by intel..?

1o - 2o C propably... not much...
since Zotac reports 80-90oC as working temperature as normal.... Confused

?? first time i heard about high frequency noises with a NUC...NUC (fanless opt.) with many user feedback..nothing about high frequency noises.
But here http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f89...st22345817 a user told about that problem..one of _many_ problems with the new fanless Zotac Box.

Guys, any reviews on CI320? I can already buy it in my country but affraid it suffers from same overheating issues.

Hi all,

Zotac is aware of a faulty production batch. Users with heating problems which have systems with the follow serialnumbers should return the systems to Zotac and ask for a replacenment/ warranty repair.

@sraue

Thank you for the clarification... BUT... not faulty units still operate at 80oC - 90oC Huh

(Btw we really need a detailed review Smile )...

As i ve read, it only affects some of the Haswell Units and they get replaced by Intel... Nod
