i5 CPU very solid and the fan runs quiet on this gen.
I would not recommend i7, the fan is going to blow hard.
The difference between to BOXNUC8i5BEK1 and the BOXNUC8i7BEH1 is that the BOXNUC8i5BEK1 has an Intel Core i5-8259U (quad-core 2.3 Ghz -> 3.8 Ghz) and the case does not have room for an additional 2.5" drive, while the BOXNUC8i7BEH1 has an Intel Core i7-8559U (quad-core 2.7 Ghz -> 4.5 Ghz) and is taller, so you can also install a 2.5" drive in addition to the M.2 SSD.

Is there a big diff in the fan noise?
Looking at the I5
The i5 is also quad-core, FWIW

You are going to want to check the reviews on the processor used. If memory serves, the onboard graphics on 8th gen is actually a slight step back from 7th gen. Something about the Iris vs. Intel 620. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Basically not much cpu improvement, but good cinebench (15 - 25%) improvement on the i7 one.
i7 gain over i5 is not that much (10%-15%) but you pay much more.
i7 will always throttle anyway.
If you need that much power, I would just get a six core setup.
People who buy this wants the smallest size to VESA mount on the back of a monitor so its hidden.

It has the same cpu as the latest 13 inch Macbook Pro. However, this thing runs hot. I'm not sure if it can handle very heavy duties. I have one and I hackintoshed it. It works like a dream.
