Imagine your dream gaming rig. Then build it with the
Intel® NUC 9 Extreme Kit, the highest-performing Intel®
NUC available for consumers today. Ultra-powerful
and modular, it’s also upgradable with an Intel® NUC 9
Extreme Compute Element.
The Intel NUC 9 Extreme Kit supports up to an
eight-inch discrete graphics card, giving enthusiast
gamers the flexibility they need to build a monster
rig for gaming and streaming simultaneously. All this
in a 5-liter chassis—making this one of the smallest-
footprint gaming systems available that supports
desktop discrete graphics.
The kit comes in a range of top-end 9th Gen Intel®
Core™ processors (H-series), including for the first time
an unlocked Intel® Core™ i9 processor—the highest-
performing H-series processor available today. With a
500W internal power supply and integrated cooling,
these compact systems run cool and quiet while
delivering desktop-level graphics performance on
the latest AAA games.
