For the Wifi and Bluetooth - Intel Wireless-AC 9260 is pretty good. Or you can go for the newer AX - if your network supports it. Up to you.

Today, I installed an 8th Gen NUC in an Akasa Turing case (bought on Amazon). The process took about an hour. Somehow it shocked me at how quiet it is now. It makes the same amount of noise powered on as powered off. I knew that would be true, however, it still surprised me that it powers on dead quiet.

I saw at least one person reporting that the NUCi7 runs hot in the case. I decided to get a NUCi3 to avoid any issues with it being too hot. (The NUCi3 has plenty of computing power for my needs.)

Some notes if you want to do it too:

• The paper instructions that come with the case skip the needed step of transferring the microphone array. However, the Akasa video includes that step (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQcrydSYrtE). The video goes quickly. Youtube keyboard shortcuts (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7631406?hl=en) helped navigate that.
• The video left me wondering how to get the NUC out of the original case. I found a disassembly video of a 7th Gen NUC for fan replacement that was close enough.
• You can use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove the old thermal grease. Remove the thermal pads before installing new thermal grease (the case includes a tube of thermal grease).
• If you want wifi, you will need new antennas and connector cables. Different connectors exist. The NUC uses a M.2(NGFF) U.FL to RP-SMA Female connector cable. I bought the following: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QKF18KM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00, and it works fine. If you have an SSD card installed, you will need to remove that to get at the antenna connectors.
• An 8mm wrench helps get the antennas mounted securely. However, a crescent wrench would work too.

The CPU is hovering around 32°C with just a browser running.

They are offered below it in a package.

If you get just the bracket then buy this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QKF18KM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SsBwFbY01K0CY

I believe so. The antenna I am using on the receiver came with it and states 5.8ghz on the side. The antenna on the transmitter should be 5.8ghz according to the listing.
