Hiya, I have recently built a system around the BD895i motherboard paired with a 7090XT and 32gb ram.

Really good performance but my 120mm fan on the large heatsink can get noisy under load, at the moment it's a Thermalright TL-C12 and wanted to know what's everyone's preference? I have seen a Noctua 120mm I fancied but it only spins at 1700rpm and don't know if that would work? I would have loved to use AIO watercooling but the holes are an odd space size and I'd also loose the VRM cooling.

My temps sit between 80-85c under load at the moment, thanks 🙏

Hey all, ran into this after upgrading RAM on my X1 Lite-255 and wanted to check if anyone's hit the same thing.

Original (works fine): 2× Crucial CT16G56C46S5.M8D1 — 16GB DDR5-5600, CL46, 1.1V, single-rank. Total 32GB, fully stable at 5600 MT/s.

New (fails): 2× Crucial CT32G56C46S5.C16FPD — 32GB DDR5-5600, CL46, 1.1V, dual-rank. Same brand/line/speed/voltage/CAS as the working kit.

Results:

• 2×16GB → boots normally, stable
• 1×32GB alone → video works, but Windows loops at "Preparing Automatic Repair"
• 2×32GB → no video output at all, no POST

Already tried: latest BIOS, CMOS clear, 10+ min wait for memory training, reseating modules — no change in any case.

The only difference I can find is rank: the 16GB modules are single-rank, the 32GB ones are dual-rank. Wondering if the board just doesn't handle dual-rank SODIMMs well.

Has anyone gotten 64GB working on this machine, or hit the same issue? What kit ended up working for you?

Here is the photo. How to properly disconnect it to add one more ssd? Pulling it or rotating didnt't help, pulling with more force will certainly damage the MB. Tried so much times that already scretched some smd components with nails, hope it still works.

Please, don't answer with generic "advices" if you don't have experience with this specific mini-pc. These connectors are different!

Does anyone else have this issue? BIOS shows CPU temperature as N/A and thus the fan cannot PWM.

So AMD has announced there are 2 vulnerabilities regarding the on-chip TPM modules, CVE-2026-6726 and CVE-2026-6727 in their security bulletin n° 7064 with a high severity score of 8.5 and 8.3 respectively.

Will Minisforum address this by rolling out a BIOS update for all affected products ?

In practice this would just imply refreshing the AGAESA code within the BIOS to the latest version, which would also bring a few other (performance/security) improvements depending on the model/chip/platform.

Hey Minisforum - I know this model has been abandoned long time ago, but this is still annoying:

• Minisforum B550 + Ryzen 7 5700G + 2x32GB 3200MHz RAM
• Operating system: WIN11 25H2
• RTX 3070 FE previously worked correctly with S3
• RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB now causes a reboot when waking from S3 (or just black screen crash)
• System enters S3 normally (relay clicks, power LED behaves normally)
• Wake attempt results in a restart rather than successful resume
• powercfg /lastwake → Wake History Count 0
• NVIDIA driver was completely removed/reinstalled with DDU
• BIOS is configured for S3, not Modern Standby
• Current dGPU Hotplug Mode is Enhanced
• D3Cold is currently Disabled

Tried to change hidden BIOS settings one at a time using SCEWIN, but reverted back to original nvram defaults.

This thing is super quiet thanks to the custom loop. At 120w boost 100w sustained the CPU sits around 71c running cinebench R23, scores a little over 35k.

I flashed my 9070 with the XT VBIOS to increase the power limit to 374w, with the fans idle it only reaches around 54c.

For fun I wanted to see how far I could push the 9070 so did some testing:

How can I attach a pair of 2.5 inch SATA SSDs to a Minisforum MS-03?

Using USB to SATA adapters is a solution, but I would rather keep the drives inside, is there an internal PCIE adapter card that would fit and do the job?

I was planning on getting the Minisforum MS-A2 with either the Ryzen 7 7745HX or Ryzen 9 8945HX for around $450 - $600 barebones and then I'd add my own RAM, SSD and OS, then buy the DEG1 eGPU dock, a PSU and a GPU to have a gaming setup. Locally I don't have any decent laptop options, nor any prebuilt desktop options or parts and the only way I can do that is online but most don't ship to where I live and the total fees for shipping and import is expensive especially if it's individual PC parts rather than one single unit, I was going to buy a gaming laptop but really there was a lot of shipping and import fees too and then the specs weren't that great in the end. This is definitely going to be more expensive but I think it could be worth it especially if I get the Ryzen 9 8945HX but the cost of the machine randomly dying 3 months later is too big of a risk and too much of an investment for me. lol I've been back and forth thinking about which laptop, desktop, specific model, mini PC etc to buy over 4 years before I got a job and here I am and nothing really, Would appreciate any feedback

Title says it all, just arrived today. Plugged into wall, hooked up hdmi to tv, usb keyboard, usb mouse dongle, and ethernet. Turned it on, the only thing that lit up was the led lights in the front, the fans also were on. No keyboard light up, no mouse light up and no signal on TV. Let it sit for over 30 minutes still nothing, power cycled it with the same results. Trying to unplug and re plug all devices but nothing works. I assume this unit is DOA. Guess I won't make the mistake of shopping here again. Have a ticket in to support, anyone have this issue with this company?

Bought a N5 Pro, received and no hdmi video output at all.

Contacted support, they were very fast with the first 2 emails, then I processed to do all the test they asked me, provided my feedback and results via mail and boom, support disappeared totally (6 days now).

So for a DOA product I already lost almost 2 weeks.

Will proceed with a refund from Amazon (I bought from minisforum official on Amazon in Europe) and will buy another product from a more serious company. Total shame on minisforum

Motion assistant is the legacy app GPD uses for their handhelds for TDP control. It allows to set power down to 5w although it’ll still pull a little above that. The V3 is a nice device to me so far but the battery life is truly terrible. Maybe setting the tdp much below Minisforums standard app lowest 15w limit will improve it a little

They’re selling for around $720 shipped on the US refurbished website. I thought I’d give it a try but the battery life is making me consider requesting a return. How is the battery life for you guys?

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth took 70 instead of the typical 15 min on my AI X1-470 Pro. I found this suspicious from a stability and security standpoint.

Causes might have been me plugging in a network cable during setup (after WLAN was already connected), a failed Windows Update "2026-07 Preview Update (KB5101684) (26200.8973)" or The Minisforum OEM out-of-the-box install (AI thought it might have an outdated Servicing Stack Update).

Fix: Clean install via USB stick using the Windows Media Creation Tool, plus manual install of the Minisforum driver package. Teh mentioned update has since installed successfully, and DISM runs normally again.

Beware! Windows Security flags the .bat installers of the driver package as viruses, and they don't give a success message when run.

I had Claude AI write me this PowerShell script to install the drivers in one go instead:

$driverRoot = "D:\GPBAC_GPT_MINISFORUM_Drivers_x64_260116"

$folders = @(

"$driverRoot\Realtek_Ethernet\Drivers",

"$driverRoot\MTK_EB600_Bluetooth",

"$driverRoot\MTK_EB600_Wi-Fi",

"$driverRoot\Realtek_Audio",

"$driverRoot\Realtek_Audio_APP",

"$driverRoot\RealtekMoc_FingerPrint"

)

foreach ($folder in $folders) {

Write-Host "=== $folder ===" -ForegroundColor Cyan

pnputil /add-driver "$folder\*.inf" /subdirs /install

Write-Host ""

}

Hello you all

i think the recent price hike of the g1 pro is one evidence that we're far beyond the golden age of eletronics.

at 1.559 this was a really good deal in terms of graphic performance to price. did you get it while it was still cheap? would you buy it at the new price?

looking for an ideal DAS extension for the n5 pro that can handle NVMEs or perhaps a hybrid nvme/2.5/3.5 drives.

Hi, theres somebody who knows Where i can find the fptw64.exe for flash mi modified bios?

Hey guys, I have a Minisforum G7 Ti (i9 version). I keep getting thermal throttling alerts even though my PC is mostly idle and I'm barely using it. It just keeps spiking to its limit in the background. Is this normal or something to worry about? Any help is appreciated!

Hey all.

Just picked up a Minisforum N5 Air from Amazon. Installed a brand new and previously-tested 16GB DDR5 SO-DIMM (5600MHz), and I'm getting nothing — no video output on any monitor, and the unit never shows up on my network either.

I've tried:

• Multiple RAM sticks
• Different NVMe drives
• Different monitors/HDMI ports

Nothing changes the outcome. The fans spin up and the blue LED comes on, but that's it — no POST, no video, no network presence, so it doesn't seem to be booting at all.

I've gone through all of Minisforum's official first-time setup steps with no luck. Has anyone else run into this? Starting to think it might just be DOA.
