Intel tackles NUC heat issues with fan speed tweak, SSD fix
 

This update is a bit overdue, but we've only recently had a chance to play with a final, production version of the Intel "Next Unit of Computing" system that we reviewed last year. Back then, our review sample suffered from an overheating problem that caused full-on system lockups during large file transfers over Wi-Fi. We worked with the folks at Intel to confirm that the problem affected all NUCs of that type, the red-topped "BY" model, and we played with a preliminary BIOS intended to resolve it. However, we were never able to confirm with certainty how the fix—likely a tweaked fan speed policy—would impact the system's acoustic profile.
