Literally every google result for this question goes to locked down subreddits…wonderful. Does anyone know? I’m trying to decide between two versions of a 12th or possible 13th gen nuc. I don’t really care about the 2.5" option but if the taller variant also has a larger heatsink/better fan that will make a big difference.
So, I can only relate my experience on the NUC 5th gen, but the Processor/Heatsink is on the top whereas the 2.5" drive is on the bottom, under the motherboard/just above the feet. So the cooling should be the same in both versions.
I have never regretted having an available 2.5" drive slot though, so unless space is at a premium, might as well have the extra expand-ability available.
