MS-A1

It looks like you're aiming for a high-end eGPU setup, and there are some important considerations to make—starting with the GPU choice. The RTX 5080, while offering solid base performance, feels underwhelming for its price. With only 16GB of VRAM, its long-term value is questionable, especially whe

I'm still annoyed at how Minisforum names these MS-XX units. They don't have any continuity. MS-01: Intel, mobile CPU MS-A1: AMD, desktop CPU MS-A2: AMD, mobile CPU MS-S1: AMD, mobile CPU, AI Why was MS-A2 using a mobile CPU? Wouldn't it have been better if they named it something else and kept MS-A

Not the OP, but I run a similar (ish) setup myself; Minisforum MS-A1, Ryzen 8700g, 64GB DDR5, 2x2TB + 2x1TB NVMe drives. Deg1 dock with a 3080Ti + Corsair SF750W platinum PSU. I went this route as I had multiple PC's in my household and I just wanted a single jack of all trades machine. I travel fai

There's only a handful of AM5 minis out there: Lenovo's M75q Gen 5, Minisforum's MS-A1 and Asrock's Deskmeet X600, Deskmini X600 and Deskmini X600/USB4. The Deskmeet has a x16 PCIe slot and is really more of an SFF unit at 8L. The Deskmini X600/USB4 has USB4 replacing the VGA of the X600 at the back

It looks like you've listed good choices; I'd vote for one with an Oculink port, because you could then use an eGPU enclosure with it in the future (that's full-nerd I admit). It looks like the GMKTec M7 has one. The Minisforum MS-A1 is another that has it; that's what I use for a Proxmox host, and

I have a Minisforum MS-A1 with a Ryzen 7 8700G with an AOOSTAR AG01 dock, and I rotate between various GPUs, including an RX9070XT, and it works wonders. There's a small bandwidth penalty when using OCuLink, but most games are not bandwidth limited. At worst, loading times can be slightly longer, bu

List it on locally or eBay as the R630 vintage still has some value. To be fair the R630 can do things that the MS-A1 can't do. It has a lot of PCIe lanes, it can run 1.5TB of ECC RAM and many drives, along with iDRAC for remote management. It's more about using the right tool for the job.

People just chase bigger numbers I have 4800MT. It’s running at 6000mt without much effort. It’s in a minisforum ms-a1. Stable I can’t imagine if I paid the extra money just to end up in the same place.

This is exactly what I was going for. I initially had the atomman g7 but the 7600m was just to weak so i was going to get the new one which imo is better than these because its a laptop 4070/5070 vs desktop 5060 which is also upgradeable for less money…..I sold the G7 and the g1 kept being sold out…
