All of a sudden, my NUC 5425 is making a noise akin to a hard drive spinning up. Since there is obviously no HDD in a NUC, does anyone have a thought as to what this might be?
The device is mounted on its VESA bracket which is screwed into the back of a cabinet about 6 feet away with plenty of ventilation and the sound is very noticeable. Here is the configuration:
Intel NUC D54250WYK
Intel Wireless N 7260 with Bluetooth (although the PC is connected to my router via Ethernet)
Samsung E 250GB 840EVO mSATA SSD
Crucial 8GB x 2 DDR3 1600 RAM
The NUC does not feel overly hot and is generally on 24x7 except for Windows 7 upgrades and such. I upgraded BIOS and drivers when I assembled it 5 or 6 weeks ago.
