ASRock Industrial NUC BOX-1165G7 Intel Core i7-1165G7 11th Gen NUC PC with Quad Display Output

Video walls and signage loops are judged on smooth playback across every screen, and an underpowered player shows it immediately. The ASRock Industrial NUC BOX-1165G7 is the Core i7 model of the NUC 1100 BOX range, an industrial mini PC with Intel Iris Xe graphics and four display outputs in a 110 x 117.5 x 47.85 mm case.

The Intel Core i7-1165G7 in the NUC BOX-1165G7 is an 11th Gen Tiger Lake-UP3 quad-core processor with a maximum speed of 4.7 GHz, the fastest option in this range. Its Intel Iris Xe graphics decode and compose 4K content across several outputs, and the CPU headroom suits content management agents, remote monitoring and analytics running alongside playback. Two SO-DIMM sockets take dual-channel DDR4-3200 up to 64 GB, and TPM 2.0 is on board.

Four displays connect through HDMI 2.0a and DP 1.4 on the rear and two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports with DP 1.4 on the front, each up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz. The rear also has two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, a 2.5GbE port on an Intel I225LM and a GbE port on an Intel I219V, with a third Type-A port and an audio jack on the front. Storage is an M.2 Key M slot for SATA3 or PCIe Gen4 x4 SSDs plus a SATA3 port, and an M.2 Key E slot carries a Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 module. A 19 V, 90 W adapter is supplied.

The NUC BOX-1165G7 is fan-cooled and rated for 0 °C to 40 °C, suiting retail, hospitality and control-room installations. ASRock Industrial lists CE and FCC Class A compliance and Windows 10 support, and a VESA bracket lets this industrial mini PC hang behind a screen. The NUC BOX-1135G7 is the Core i5 version, and the NUC BOX-1260P moves up to a 12th Gen Core i7 with dual 2.5GbE.
