ASUS ROG NUC Intel U7-255HX/ RTX5060/ DDR5 16GB/ 1TB SSD/ Win 11 Home
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ASUS ROG NUC (2025) (RNUC15JNK7X569A0) - 3 Years Local Warranty
The Entry Configuration of the ROG NUC (2025) Range
The ASUS ROG NUC RNUC15JNK7X569A0 is the entry-level build of the ROG NUC (2025) line — the NUC15JNK platform, ASUS's ROG gaming mini PC Singapore buyers ordered before the newer ROG NUC 16 arrived. An Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor is paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU carrying 8 GB of GDDR7, in a vertical-only chassis just under 3 litres.
16 GB of DDR5 memory and a 1 TB NVMe SSD are fitted as standard, Windows 11 Home is pre-installed, and the system is complete and ready to run out of the box.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU — 1080p/1440p Gaming
The RTX 5060 Laptop GPU carries 8 GB of GDDR7 and 3,328 CUDA cores on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, rated at 572 AI TOPS through fifth-generation Tensor Cores — the same GPU used in the entry configuration of the newer ROG NUC 16 range. It is tuned for 1080p ultra and 1440p high settings with DLSS 4 and ray tracing enabled, rather than native 4K.
Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX — 20 Cores, 5.2 GHz Turbo
The Core Ultra 7 255HX is a 20-core, 20-thread hybrid processor (8 Performance + 12 Efficient) with 30 MB of Intel Smart Cache and a 5.2 GHz maximum turbo. It is the previous-generation sibling of the Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus used in the ROG NUC 16 range — very close on paper, with the 270HX Plus taking a slightly higher 5.3 GHz turbo and a Q1'26 launch against the 255HX's Q1'25. An Intel AI Boost NPU rated at 13 peak TOPS is integrated alongside the CPU cores.
16 GB DDR5, Dual Channel
Memory ships as 16 GB across two DDR5 CSO-DIMM modules in dual channel. Storage is a 1 TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, with a second M.2 2280 slot available and tool-free to access for future expansion.
Triple-Fan Vapor Chamber Cooling, Vertical-Only Chassis
ASUS cools this range with a triple-fan system and a dual vapor chamber, and pairs Aura Sync ARGB lighting with the illuminated ROG branding on the chassis. Unlike the newer ROG NUC 16, this chassis is vertical-only with an integrated base rather than a removable stand supporting both orientations — worth knowing if you were planning to lay it flat in an AV cabinet.
Supplied Locally, with GST Invoice and Singapore Warranty
SourceIT supplies the ROG NUC RNUC15JNK7X569A0 with a full GST invoice and local Singapore warranty support, backed by ASUS's 3-year warranty term for this range.

Connectivity & Setup / Thermal Design
Cooling and Thermal Design
ASUS cools the ROG NUC (2025) range with a triple-fan system paired with a dual vapor chamber, built to keep both the CPU and GPU stable under sustained gaming load. ASUS markets the design as whisper-quiet, but does not publish a specific dBA figure for this range the way it does for the newer ROG NUC 16, so we do not print an acoustic number here — ask us if a measured figure matters for your environment. The RTX 5060 pairing in this configuration carries the lightest total GPU power draw in the range, which should give the shared thermal design the most headroom of the three configurations.
Vertical-Only Chassis
This chassis uses an integrated base rather than the removable, dual-orientation stand fitted to the newer ROG NUC 16 — plan your desk or cabinet placement around vertical orientation only. Tool-free access is provided for both the memory and storage compartments.
Memory and Storage Upgrade Path
16 GB of DDR5 memory ships across both CSO-DIMM slots. ASUS's specification page for this range states a maximum capacity of 96 GB, expressed as 48 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM x2 — a different module type and speed from the DDR5-6400 CSO-DIMM fitted as standard, so confirm compatibility with SourceIT before ordering an upgrade kit. Storage keeps a second M.2 2280 slot free for expansion, supporting drives up to 4 TB on either PCIe 4.0 x4 or PCIe 5.0 x4.
Networking and Display Outputs
Wired networking is 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet over an Intel controller, with Intel Wi-Fi 7 (BE200) and Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless. Display output covers Thunderbolt 4 Type-C, two HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, and six of the USB ports on this chassis run at 10 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2).

Frequently Asked Questions — ASUS ROG NUC RNUC15JNK7X569A0
Is this the same as the ASUS ROG NUC 16?
No. This is the ROG NUC (2025), built on the older NUC15JNK platform with Core Ultra 255HX/275HX processors and a vertical-only chassis. The newer ROG NUC 16 (NUC16JNK platform) uses 270HX Plus/290HX Plus processors, supports both vertical and horizontal orientation, and is available in black or white. The two chassis are not interchangeable.
Is the RTX 5060 in this the same as a desktop RTX 5060?
No — it is the RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, an 8 GB GDDR7 mobile-class part. Performance sits closer to a gaming laptop than a full desktop card of the same name.
Is this a complete system?
Yes. It ships with the Core Ultra 7 255HX processor, RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 16 GB DDR5 memory and a 1 TB NVMe SSD fitted, with Windows 11 Home pre-installed.
Can I lay it flat like the newer ROG NUC 16?
No. This chassis has an integrated base and is designed for vertical orientation only — the removable, dual-orientation stand is a feature of the newer ROG NUC 16 range.
Can I add more memory or storage later?
Storage yes, via the tool-free second M.2 2280 slot. Memory is possible but ASUS's published maximum for this range (96 GB, expressed as 48 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM x2) uses a different module type and speed from the DDR5-6400 CSO-DIMM fitted as standard — confirm compatibility with SourceIT before ordering an upgrade.
Is 8 GB of graphics memory a limitation?
For 1080p and 1440p gaming with DLSS enabled, no. For native 4K or local AI models needing more than roughly 8 GB, yes — the RTX 5070 or RTX 5070 Ti configurations in this same range step up the VRAM.
How does this compare with the RNUC16JNK7X569A3 in the newer ROG NUC 16 range?
Both use the same-tier RTX 5060 GPU and a similar CPU class (255HX here vs 270HX Plus there), but the ROG NUC 16 is the newer platform with dual-orientation placement and a choice of chassis colour. If you are ordering new stock, ask SourceIT which range currently has better availability.
Does it come with a Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?
Yes. Every ASUS ROG NUC RNUC15JNK7X569A0 sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty support and a GST invoice; ASUS backs this system with a 3-year warranty.
