MS-A1

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.

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

I own two of their machines. Having a setting in the BIOS for TDP is needed. I've talked to support about this and waiting for a BIOS update, especially for the MS-A1. My version has a 9950X chip.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. The Minisforum BIOS of the MS-A1 is very limited so tweaking of voltages etc. will probably not work. I've never seen these options in the BIOS. I have no experience with other processors than my 8700G. Maybe the BIOS is not compatible with this 9-series processor?

That's true, but we will lose the second NVME slot. If there were three NVME slots like the MS-A1 or A2, it would have been better. But I agree - given that this device can perform close to a 4060 (at least the mobile chip), if one were to invest in an eGPU it would be something in 50x series and it

In my opinion they're in a weird spot right now (looking strictly at them as hypervisors). MS-01: Incredible value with vPRO for remote console, but the big.LITTLE Intel CPU is terrible for virtualization. I believe Proxmox is the only hypervisor that doesn't throw a fit when it's got efficiency and

Due to reputation & build quality, Minisform no longer finds the respect they once received on this subReddit. Native SFF-8612 i4 OCuLink has given way to brands akin to GMKtec, where the MS-A1 provides SFF-8612, the MS-A1 doesn't. The AI X1 Pro use greater heat dissipation/reduced bandwidth SODIMM

You don't need this on MS-A1, if you're doing it on MS-A1 you bought wrong PC / not the PC you need. So whether you can mount it or not doesn't matter.
