I purchased it. It seems like a good background to create a nice NAS server on x4 NVME.
Barebone version quality/price seems really promising

Minisforum : you got yourself a new customer ...

[TheTastefulThickness]

Minisforum always innovating. This is huge. No soldered cpu!!!

[danielgriffith]

You guys REALLY like to give Intel vs Ryzen loyalists VERY different options! Do you assume we all want gaming PCs? Perhaps its statistically valid. Non-soldered board is an amazing option though, especially with AM5!

Is it possible to update Bios for Ryzen 9000 series without CPU? Or with installed Ryzen 9000 series (Later i mean)

[raminpro]

your AMD tablet amazin, , , , we need gaming tablet/labtop with RYZEN 3D CPU with amd graphic like RX 7700 XT
8700G is amazing too

That's a bummer that this is NOTHING like the Intel version. It lacks the dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports and it also doesn't have the PCIe slot open and available as well.

What a shame.

If this had the same feature set as the MS-01, but just using the AMD processor as the base rather than the Intel, then it would've been a compelling product, but absent of those features, and I don't want to deal with the P-core/E-core business of Intel CPUs (and I think that it is not a smart purchasing decision to buy a CPU, and then castrate its performance by shutting off the E-cores) = still no buy from me (yet).

'Tis a pity.

@minisforumofficial What ram speed can I use for using the 7950x? Or must all processors use 5200 Mh on this board?

[SomeoneCalledAdrian]

i want to know the max TDP chip this mini PC can handle.

since a 65 watt TDP will limit my options quite a bit

something like 105 watt TDP will allow for so much more options

[meneguzzo]

I suppose a lot of loud from those 2 little fan when you stress this pc a little. Better a DeskMini X600 Series where you can put a noctua fan over the CPU. However it's good it has 4 nvme.

[TheGrizz]

Whats the power supply rating on this thing. It kinda sucks that it lacks support for low profile GPUs. why would they give it the same model number of the intel version?

[JKos-czlj]

Miss. Lacks 10gb, lacks ECC, lacks U.2 lacks pcie. Oculink is a plus and am5 socket.

[eltamarindo]

Where do you find Oculink docks that are sized for small cards like the A2000 LP? -- IMO, the DEG1 Dock is way too big.

[eltamarindo]

Is the bottom SSD fan proprietary? --if not, where do you order replacements?

[AhmadAli-kvho]

so we can upgrade to the cpu with the 890m igpu?

[danielgriffith]

Will this support AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D? Shoot, nevermind, it wont, 120 TDP, way too hot.

[bakakafka]

With oculink gaining traction, when can we expect a full oculink enclosure, with built in PSU, instead of the DIY cluncky cable mess of loose components? Razer isn't doing one, Coolermaster isn't doing one, the first one to market is going to own it.
