Minisforum MS-S1 MAX Review

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

MINI PC FOR CLOUD GAMING

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

Using an eGPU with MiniSForum MS-A2 & RTX 4060

Hi, within the last couple of weeks I've upgraded to a 9070XT from the 3080Ti, as I wanted to get ahead of potential GPU price increases. The rest of my setup is the same (MS-A1, 8700g, 64GB DDR5 @ 6000MHz) In terms of performance, the impact of running the GPU at gen4 PCIe x4 (via oculink to the DE

Using an eGPU with MiniSForum MS-A2 & RTX 4060

I'll try and get a screenshot of the BIOS tomorrow for you, but essentially I used a binary to hex converter online, so inputting a value of 26 (hex) into the setting (TRAS or whatever option you're on) equates to a value of 38 (decimal) I upgraded from BIOS 1.07 to 1.11 and put some comments on tha

$400 Mini that works with m2 Oculink adapter

I can absolutely recommend DeskMini x600/USB4 (or without USB4 as well). see my post . I would like to say, that I've initially got MS-A1, with the 8700G inside. I did not like the noise level of CPU fan, even for the most basic tasks, copying files or browsing. I mean, those fan is ridiculously sma

People with Minisforum MS-01 or MS-A1 Mini PCs, how has it been?

I purchased the barebone version of the MS-A1 during Prime week event, 64x2gb laptop memory sticks 5600 speed, 1x 4tb M.2 Gen 4x4 and the AMD 9950x3d. Had it running a week now. I like it. Waiting for my egpu to come in to plug into the Oculink and see how it runs playing games. Been using the inter

Minisforum MS-A1- Issues

This is exactly the experience that I am having with my 5070 in the DEG1 (secure boot problems, prompting PIN reset every Windows boot). For me it exhibits as the TPM 2.0 not being able to start with the 5070. I tested with an Arc B580, and RTX 4080 Super - they do not have this problem. Now that we

Minisforum MS-A1 + DEG1 + RTX 5070 = Windows 11 TPM 2.0 code 12 error (and other tests).

Hey, I thought I'd share my MS-A1 /DEG-1 /RX 9060 XT experience so far: I bought an XFX RX 9060 XT 16 GB a few days ago and I got it to work with the DEG-1, but I had to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS (BIOS > Security > Secure Boot > Disable). Every time I connected /disconnected the DEG-1 I had to
