Intel has rolled out two new BIOS updates targeted at its NUC5i5MY and NUC5i3MY NUCs, namely versions 0034 and 0041, which should implement small security enhancements that will improve the unit’s overall stability.

To be clear about the current update, Intel’s 0034 BIOS is suitable for the NUC5i5MYBE and NUC5i5MYHE NUC board and kit, while the 0041 release is compatible with its NUC5i3MYBE and NUC5i3MYHE NUC board and kit.

When it comes to installation, the producer has provided several downloadable files describing three different flashing methods: Recovery, iflash, and Express BIOS Update procedures.

The Recovery file is used for an F7 BIOS Update technique, whereas the iflash-related archive can apply the new version only from a USB or CD drive, and only through a DOS command prompt.

As for the 2 Express BIOS Update executables, if you intend to use them, you must run these packages directly from a Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 platform (a file for each bit architecture). Also, the 0034 release can be applied to Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 as well.

Either way, while installing, make sure not to turn off/reboot your NUC, remove the power cable, or interrupt the process in any way. Doing so can cause serious device malfunctions and might even render the device unstable.

With this in mind, from the list below, follow the link that best describes your NUC model, take into account all aspects highlighted above, and constantly check our website to know when a newer version is available.
