Using an eGPU with MiniSForum MS-A2 & RTX 4060
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

Minisforum AI X1 pro with DEG1 Docking station with 5080 what's your take on it?
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

5200mhz DDR5
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.

Anyone have experience with these? Are they any good?
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…

Gaming laptop died. BSOD. Want to reuse SODIM and SSD - opinion and feedback please
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

New MS-A2 Dead
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.

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
No problem glad I can help. Yes officially the MS-A1 supports up to 5200MHz RAM, but you can overclock via the BIOS. The BIOS menu, especially around setting the RAM timings is odd - you set the timings via hex values, rather than the actual straight numbering. I'm using Kingston Fury Impact RAM. 2x

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
