I tried asus nuc 15 pro 225h. It was inaudible for my workload. You can adjust fan curves, thermal targets in bios. I also disabled e cores in bios, effectivly lowering power consumption by a lot and also improve thermals. For my workload it was ideal.

Yeah, that’s sad. I only learned about QVLs after running into these freezes.https://www.asus.com/uk/displays-desktops/nucs/nuc-mini-pcs/asus-nuc-15-pro-plus/helpdesk_qvl_memory?model2Name=ASUS-NUC-15-Pro-Plus-Kit-NUC15CRS-B The problem is the QVL is super limiting for higher-capacity kits.

Yeah my ASUS NUC 15 Pro has gotten like 10 BIOS updates since I got it earlier this year. And I'm very glad, because it sorted out instability issues I was having with Proxmox.

I have an ASUS NUC 15 Pro. Do not get an SSD heatsink, you won't be able to close it. The bottom of the unit opens up to put your RAM and M.2 drives. On that panel that opens, there is a pre-applied thermal pad. There's no need for a heatsink.
