The network adapter does not work out of the box with ESXi versions prior to 6.7u1 or 6.5u2. If you need older ESXi versions to work you have to inject the ne1000 driver manually to the installer image (ESXi 6.5: 0.8.3-7vmw.650.2.50.8294253 / ESXi 6.7: 0.8.4-1vmw.670.1.28.10302608). NUCs have very low power consumption. The NUC8i7BEH with an M.2 NVMe draws about 25W. With that, the average operating costs are at about 5-6 Euros per month:

And finally you’ll find the CPU under the heat pipe. There’s quite a generous amount of cooling paste applied between the CPU and the heat pipe. A bit too much for my liking even, but seems to work ok though. Ok, last week I was looking at the i3 Bean Canyon NUC and now it’s time to do the same for the i5 model. The model I have under review here is the NUC8i5BEK that’s powered by a Coffee Lake CPU, which is the last 14 nm CPU Intel is producing before moving onwards to 10 nm manufacturing process. The model I have here is the compact version without a slot for a 2.5″ drive. I won’t write a separate NUC8i5BEH review as the only difference to this model is the larger case that has a bit more space for the 2.5″ drive. The same mainboard and CPU is used for both models. Intel NUCs are not supported by VMware and not listed in the HCL. Not supported means that you can't open Service Requests with VMware when you have a problem. It does not state that it won't work. Some components used in the NUC are listed in the IO Devices HCL.

Just found out there is a LINE of PRO 8 gen PRO BOARDS – that sell with cases that have expansion capabilities! (different that the 8 gen boards, with different intel 8 gen processors, much more efficient!!!) https://www.intel.com.br/content/www/br/pt/products/docs/boards-kits/nuc/nuc8-pro.html Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
