Got mine last week and I couldn't be happier. It's quiet, and stable. Without any tweaking at all, I consistently get over 33000 on cinebench. The temps will creep up to the mid 70's every once and a while. Loving it!

I've been really happy with mine as well as a work machine. No temperature or noise concerns even forcing 75W TDP mode paired with a noctua fan. The 96GBs of 5200Mhz Mushkin Redline ram I chose just worked at full speed but time will tell how Minisforum supports this platform with bios updates.

Hmmm, interesting MB for my next build in many ways, except for the USB port speeds from what I can see so far, which means I would probably have to sacrifice / dedicate one of the M.2 slots for expansion, which is a bit of a shame imo. Perhaps minisforum will address this this in a future version. Thankfully some other minisforum (and other) products do currently offer more modern higher speed interfaces. So close...

@Z020852 5 ай бұрын

Any chance MinisForum might come up with an octacore X3D version? I mean I don't edit photos and video for a living, but a 3D cache octacore with 6000mhz RAM sounds like something that will not be a bottleneck for two more GPU upgrades. And probably for even more GPU upgrades so long as 1. You also upgrade your display to higher res, if not wider too 2. Games don't start using way more than 8c/16t, or require clock speed as the main determinant for how much work it can do instead of high IPC at lower clocks.
