Skylake NUC or Intel NUC D54250WYK2 or? ...for HTPC & madVR
Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2015 3:35 am
I have a Mac Mini A1347 laet 2011, running win7 and EMBY Theater with MadVR. The GPU runs quite hot resulting in the fan running flat out and being quite noisy.
I am looking to replace the box with something more silent. I cannot decide if I should wait for the Skylake nuc, brix, or what all the other small pc's are called, as they may overshoot my target and still not be future proof for 4k60p due to the HDMI 1.4. So my options are to wait or get a only slightly better machine than the mac mini, that will be less noisy, but also cost less than the Skylake.
I have this on offer:
Intel NUC D54250WYK2, 2.6 Ghz, 8 GB ram, 120 GB SSD, 8gb ram
Does anyone has experience with using this for HTPC duty or similar?
