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

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…

You almost had it but ms-a1 yes you need a desktop cpu or you get the one that comes with 8700g. The A1 also has oculink so the sky is the limit after that. I just did a build with left over ssd, nvme, psu. Grabbed used 9800x3d and 9070xt with the deg being $100. $1300 and I have beast of a machine

TJmax 78 should be good, I use external usb fans, too. I mine 24/7 with them and have 3 Minusform mini pcs: ms-a1 and 2 G7 PTs. I find them very good quality.

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

Well do you mean adding a external graphic card ? Because it already has a very good integrated GPU and 128MB RAM so you can run large 80B / 128B LLM models. Also most important against adding any external GPU means its has limited VRAM ! However, using the integrated GPU that is already in minisfor

The swift go is truly better than the aspire. Faster wifi speed, oled display, longer battery life thanks to oled display + no dgpu. At gaming, some reviews say u5 225h w/ arc 130t is faster than r7 8700g w/ radeon 780m (minisforum ms-a1) so of course it's faster than that ultrabook rtx2050 35w max

Are you able to enable Wake On Lan or Restore power after failure ? I can’t set this with my MS-A1 🫤 Very unconfortable for a server, otherwise great machine 😮

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
