This AIO Motherborad Has A Powerful 16 Core CPU! BD795M Review

[@bionicseaserpent]

now this with the Halo chips would be worth buying

[@ranjitmandal1612]

Ye 🔥

[@kitsune7919]

But then the memory would have to be soldered in.

[@AndrewParent-y9y]

@kitsune7919 sure but if they put 32 or 64 GB it wouldn’t need upgrading

[@pedgarage]

@kitsune7919 I don't get this problem at all. Soldered memory can up the perfomance and it's what consoles have been using since forever. The cases of ram failures are pretty rare, 32 gb are alot, it will be enough for the next 6-8 years at least and it's becoming the standard for new builds. A 64 gb option would be cool for those who need it for professional use, but I don't see all this need of upgradability and repairability.

[@nomoredlc593]

@pedgarage You know, camm RAM exists, which completely contradicts that argument, specially knowing that camm RAM doesn't hurt performance at all, upgradeability and repaireability are ALWAYS IMPORTANT

[@ATSNorthernMI]

I had one like this and had it pulling air in from the top because the GPU was hot and pulling air off the top of a hot GPU caused CPU temps to rise. I even mounted the fan right to the case to have it blow directly on the CPU cooler and dropped temps a bit.

Just when I am thinking about buying this motherboard, this video drops. Thanks!

[@Atom224]

Ain't it kinda overpriced tho?

[@justincase9471]

@@Atom224 It comes with a 16-core Zen4 CPU soldered onto the motherboard. It has a very low power consumption when idle so it is perfect for a home server. I think the price is ok.

[@Rexolaboy]

These need to come with the new halo APUs

[@radeksparowski7174]

amen,

[@davefroman4700]

Just saw a leak from China that states the next gen Halo APU will use AMD's 3D stacking. So basically we will be getting an x3d chip with a graphics card on it.

[@radeksparowski7174]

@@davefroman4700 they primarily should be soldered to motherboards, first high end laptops, later maybe fancy nuc like desktops and maybe standalone mini itx or mini atx form factor, hopefully the motherboards will have good io ports selection and expansion slots, better would be if they would be available as am5 capable standalone processors though so you can finetune the pc to your needs

[@NativeWarrior081]

Who is this really for? Why would someone choose to build a gaming computer with a Mobile CPU, vs going for an AM5 build?

[@666Maeglin]

Looks nice, wouold this be a great system to make a mini proxmox server?

[@murlock666]

oh yes indeed with a vm, with passthrough gpu would work out great. I could see this as a great SFF proxmox build. i you weren't fussed about the GPU you could add an HBA in the x16 slot for a great NAS/Server build. although it would be network limited by the 2.5g lan

[@JosephHarry]

@@murlock666 Get me a right angle adapter and I am wondering if you could put this in a 1U case.

[@RadarLeon]

if it was $399 i'd consider that a steal but 479 .... for a desktop format kinda can get most of what it is with conventional parts

[@chiboreache]

opportunity not to seen stupidly ugly and tall amd am5 heat distribution cover - just priceless...

[@spicysausage8805]

The 14700 he compared it to is about $400 so it feels like the pricing is about right as long as the value isn't hurt by the notebook memory costs. I would have loved to see more CPU comparisons though to be sure.

[@jameskramer3461]

It's $389. If you add it to your cart a $90 coupon is applied.

[@spicysausage8805]

Interesting product. Strix halo version and I'm a customer no question. Glad to see products like this coming out from Minis Forum, there is a lot of exciting things developing from AMD on the mobile side.

[@PM-xc8oo]

These small systems always get the memory wrong. With an APU you really need to be running memory that is as fast as possible to increase the iGPU performance and DDR5 5200 doesn't cut it.

[@danielhulan3058]

The bad thing is your locked into only one gen, one cpu, no changing unless you buy a new board. It's not worth it really.

[@ecu4321]

The bd790i se is still the better option. For 330 usd, you get a ryzen 9 7940 hx with built in heatsink

[@vinyfiny]

The BD790i SE has the 7940HX (and it's $360 now). This mobo has wifi built in, 120W "turbo" power limit (vs 100W on the BD790i SE), and most importantly it uses standard LGA 1700 CPU cooler mounting. That's probably worth the extra $120 to some people, although I wish it was ITX.

[@ranjitmandal1612]

😮

[@danielbernatchez3216]

I just got the board 2 days ago and built my new pc ! You think you can do a vidéo about the bios setting and overcloking test ?

[@markstephenson6744]

[@Kevin-vh6nn]

dorks and children really have a hard time simply searching BD795M

[@hakdaman]

thats a nice little build

[@salteveline]

should be an ITX ?

[@AxelPironio]

More SATA could have made it a perfect DIY NAS board

[@jamieking3124]

Seems like an overpowered CPU for running a NAS

[@AxelPironio]

@@jamieking3124 it depends on what you do with your NAS. ZFS, VMs, Plex with transcoding, docker... They love threads and I/O ;)

[@AshtonCoolman]

This is neat, but for $480 USD, I can get a better CPU and MATX/ITX motherboard. I'm not seeing the upside here. EDIT: I meant GAMING CPU...I also have access to a Microcenter that offers amazing CPU, motherboard, and RAM bundles. Most people don't so I must add this as a disclaimer to reflect that.

[@athmaid]

Laptop chips are more power-efficient afaik

[@OC.TINYYY]

You can get the BD790i for $399. ITX version of this There is NO CPU/MB/Cooler combo w/ similar specs that can offer anywhere near the performance for the price.

[@leonmezu]

You get the iGPU, which is quite capable.

[@vinyfiny]

@@leonmezu The 610M is pretty basic.

Why they not using Desktop memory like TopPC

[@johnpp21]

mobile cpus doesn't support desktop rams

[@dzjuben2794]

[@davefroman4700]

Just saw a leak from China that states the next gen Halo APU will use AMD's 3D stacking. So basically we will be getting an x3d chip with a graphics card on it. They said the exact architecture would be revealed mid 2025, So I imagine it will be in the stores as a desktop by summer 2026

[@kupikichuvava1661]

What a weird frankenstein of a motherboard. Mobile AMD cpu, intel mounting holes 🕳️

[@Scrooge1Percenter]

Minisforum now the same in Mini ITX please!

[@yensteel]

Enen, ITX is a much better form factor for these mobile CPUs. It would be an effective NAS or server then.

[@jdchoas]

if its ITX you might as well skip this and just get an ITX and a desktop cpu

[@gizmonodragon3342]

Omfg do they do an ITX version?? I am putting together a converted console build and this kind of thing would be ideal if I can get an ITX one o.o

[@promarebs3895]

No they won't do anything itx version of this specifically but they already have an itx motherboard with the same 7945hx

[@badbvnn]

I see this board very slick fitting in an AP201 case with a 240 or 360 aio cooler from thermalright (around 50 bucks)

[@saberknight2474]

Strange that this board has so much space, especially when compared to an ITX board, but still they insist on SODIMMs instead of faster UDIMMs, especially when the iGPU benefits greatly from faster RAM. Why did they stick with this memory form factor?

[@MrMackievelli]

The iGPU on this isnt the gaming on type. It has only 2 CU's.

[@saberknight2474]

@@MrMackievelli Fair enough. Though it seems that even on Minisforum devices that have or can have higher end iGPUs like the MS-A1 have SODIMM slots.

[@SutraBlue]

Yeh know what, thats what always minisforum do, like they actually have the option to make perfect goods but they decided to stop at 90% completion just to make incomplete product 😅 its almost like they deliberatly make it imperfect. Seriously why??? Its already been the case since ms01. Should been perfect if they make the pcie x16 and make the casing more higher so it fit 2 slot gpu. Same with this, with all that space, not only they didnt include usb c, they also of all option they have and the space, they choose sodimm 😅😅😅😅 Dafuq y doing minis😅😅😅😅

[@lmchua8644]

the lack of pcb traces and components on the board is abit off-putting for me from a visual perspective, but hey if it makes the mobo cheaper sure why not

[@TyrooShino]

Their asking prices for these things is odd, more than just buying a complete mini gaming PC alone.

[@madmod]

My comment is just gone

[@tttomtxhc]

M-ATX without a secondary PCIe slot near the same price of their ITX offering is just bafoonery

[@Jamie71q]

Rebar support?

[@CDM14y]

Of course

[@chiramihai1651]

In my humble opinion the era of hungry power cpu and gpu, and brute force is over! Exept encoding video, witch i never done, my super micro computer GMKtec 5 mini PC witch cost me 150 eur done everything, even i can play like Elders Scrolls Skyrim from 2016 in good video condition. This combo in video loocks like promising but at 480$ a little expensive. But an Apu with 100W power is very OK!

[@eivis13]

I have to ask, how's the overclocking on this? If this is reused/repurposed parts then the real wonder is how much can it be real good?

[@Ray88G]

Realy looking forward to the AMD Al Max+ 395 Modt mobo from MInis Forum .

[@OC.TINYYY]

I doubt they will come out with one. Too expensive. $1000+ We will see an ITX 9955HX however, based on the newer 9950X.

Wish it had more SATA ports though.

[@Steveebruh]

does a ryzen stock cooler work on thins board?

[@MathiewMay]

I feel like it could be smaller.

[@vinyfiny]

Yeah I'm not sure why it's M-ATX.

[@123Suryasis]

​@@vinyfiny, they have two mini ITX Board as well. Regarding your question, they're using standard form factors for better compatibility with off the shelves components like PSU, case, cooler. The reason for this m-ATX Design is for providing the extra sata ports and ability to add your own cooler.

[@vinyfiny]

@ ITX boards are compatible with all cases and PSU's m-ATX boards are, but I didn't realize it had extra SATA ports. I'd like to think Minisforum could make stock cooler mounting work on their ITX boards since regular ITX boards obviously have stock cooler mounting and some have A LOT more going on. I bet if they would have put the second M.2 slot on the rear (like the vast majority of ITX boards with 2 M.2 slots do), they could've used standard cooler mounting.

[@signa8]

It's a shame they went with the 7945HX, instead of the 7945HS. I have the HS in my mini PC, and it has an upgraded iGPU that can actually do AAA gaming. Of course there's compromises, but it was only $600 for the whole machine since there's no place for the GPU. Oh, and I also got a few USB C ports.

[@game9370x]

what do you need a "powerful" integrated graphics in a desktop mobo for you dummy. plus it's got a 3.2 header which means you could get a case with 2 type c ports and there you go. if you want to add usb 4 ports you could do so by adding an m.2 to usb 4 adapter too.

[@signa8]

@game9370x don't call me a dummy for knowing how to make a cheap, bespoke budget PC. You can always throw absurd amounts of cash at a problem to make it go away, but I'm always looking for the cheapest and easiest alternatives.

[@jerrriell]

That motherborad is cool

[@baths4cars]

pretty cool for micro atx

[@dugggins]

What were they thinking? All that wasted space on the board, they should have just made a mini ITX board. A mini itx will fin in a micro atx case. A micro atx will not fit in a mini itx case.

[@neelaveronte745]

rdna 3.5 laptop?

[@greendro6410]

Nice

[@Quantum_Nebula]

yeahhh the fact these are all mobile variants, ram and cpu... i would just go for a gaming laptop..

[@radeksparowski7174]

the board layout is a bit underwhelming, really miss type c with usb4 functionality or more i/o ports on the back, , and some umpf functionality, either more m.2 slots, or pcie expansion slot for add in cards, as it is not a mini itx tiny extra features or expansion possibilities would be nice..... either combine with passive cooling and psu for silent computer or connect add in cards /storage, video or cutting or caption cards/....this is how missed opportunity loks like.....
