[NUC] Is It Acceptable to Place an NUC 11th/12th Generation Extreme Kit Sideways?

Resolution

The NUC is able to function without issues if it is placed sideways/in a horizontal way if the space lets the airflow.

Important note
  • The lateral/side panels of the chassis act as air vents, and if they are covered or blocked then the airflow can be compromised and cause overheating.
  • Make sure the location has the proper conditions and do not block the air vents of the NUC to allow proper airflow. Consider using stand-offs or pads to raise the chassis off the surface to provide space.
