super nice. I recently moved my main server to MinisForum UM790 Pro Ryzen 9 7940HS with 96GB of RAM and 2x2TB NVMe. As my main server it consumes in average 30W (average of 24h). I did not go for mainboard because all my storage in on separte TrueNAS server. As secondary server I deployed similar but smaller machine - MinisForum Venus UM773 Lite Ryzen 7 7735HS - and this one consumes only 8W on 24h average - mainly beacuse it is... always idle and only ready to take over when the main one dies.

Its really THE PERFECT BOARD for home server. You can virtualize everything, NAS (with sata adapter), entire homelab, even OPNSense router with 2 SPF+ NICs. Christian, did you tested PCI-E passthrough on it? My plan is: 1. Buy one of these beauties. 2. Get setup 1 NVME + Sata adapter or even 2 sata adapters as I dont really need NVME drive in homelab server and then I can have more drives. 3. Rebuild current Proxmox setup on it so: all my vms and my ZFS NAS setup (which is based on proxmox itself, no TrueNAS virtualizing etc + frontend in LXC container). 4. Virtualiaze OPNSense with dual SFP+ NICs with passthrough directly + bridge virtual adapter for proxmox and its VMs 5. Virtualize Access Point by passthrough WIFI adapter to OpenWRT machine. Perfect solution ♥ One more question: Does this motherboard supprots pci-e x16 splitting? some of motherboards have this ability so you can find adapter to split x16 slot into 4 x4 separated slots

Great board, but not for a server, at least not for me. The reason is simple and the same as for any mini PC: weak storage subsystem. Not enough SATA ports (if I understand correctly, there are 0 of them here). I know that there are SATA adapters for M2 or PCI-E, but I would not like to use such doubtful solutions. So, in my opinion, this board is better suited for a workstation or multimedia machine, but not for a server.

I plan to access to it remotely only). Maybe there is a way to have a very cheap videocard with low-profile in the PCI (my case only allow for low profile PCIs, althought it allows for ATX format, so it is quite big in the other two directions), althought I would have preferred to use it for a 10gb.

I have same BD770I and it failed as homelab server: 1) GPU in x16 5.0 can run on 1.0 x8 (my Nvidia Tesla P4 suppose to run on 3.0 x16) and can be difficult with other proffesional GPUs for ML. Nvidia 40x0 GPUs run on 3.0 x16 without bios update. current 1.05 fix some issues with 40x0 cards. AMD cards worked ok. But boards ship with 1.02, so update bios 2) GPU or any card in x16 mess up PCIe addressing. Tested with sata controllers, nvme x4 adapters, network cards. I installed GPU after initial install, it mess up pcie address binding on Linux (device names based on addressing and as result a lot of configs failed). 3) Proxmox iGPU passthrough is complicated. You need to dump iGPU bios and load it on VM config, without board passthrough iGPU but vm os cant intstall drivers. 4) Main issue is M2 slot.... controllers. I get x6 sata controller. It detected by OS but it's bios don't load propertly. You will not be able to use sata drives to boot (controllers bios dont boot with mb bios). OS don't init controller after because controller bios don't init before OS boot. As result I tried several controllers based on ASMedia chipsets (1096, 1166) it is on 90% all m2 sata controllers. I tried LSI HBA cards through m2 to pcie x4 adapters, same story. Minisforum support cant solve issue. No bios options, no fw update. 5) WIFI looks good on paper, but card is so slow on init that linux failed on timeout waiting. Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 init almost instantly. 6) Funny sensor reporting.... OS cant get CPU temp and I cant adjust CPU, SYS1, SYS2 pwm fans. It can be monitored inside bios, but Proxmox cant monitor it. For fans you can setup adjustments based on CPU temp. but if is a case fun and they fired up than cpu temp rise. 7) Options to run it without CPU fan is very limited. Don't load it. Don't use iGPU. Don't load NVME a lot if you choose to passive cool NVME drives. May be if your case provide air flow and you don't load it, than may be you can run it in silence. Some users report issues with thermo paste applications so they get issues without any load.... 8) 610M RDNA2 iGPU is so slow and I dont understand why there are no options with 7x0M RDNA3, a lot of minipc's already have it. So my small NAS with Nvidia GPU for ML and LLM project failed. No drives connected and GPU run so slow that ML almost non viable (i cant load GPU more than 20% of computational capacity). If you can push Minisforum to make some fixes to bios or some other it will be great for all users.

Check out my kit page, you'll find a link to buy it on amazon ;) I haven't tested PCI bitfurcation, but people say it's possible with the latest BIOS update

Would be great if the x16 pcie slot supported bifurcation into 8/4/4 or 4/4/4/4.

I was actually looking at getting this mainboard but wasn't sure if Proxmox and virtualization would work.

Hi there, also working on a home server project with the bd770i. A question: Did you update the bios, yet? It brings bifurcation to the table.
@christianlempa4 ай бұрын
I haven't tried it, yet.

@@christianlempa I am still figuring out how to update that bios without an windows installation (will probably just put a win2go on a stick if i cant find something usefull)

the power supply will be larger than the motherboard.... it would be nice an external one.

16w idle? My i5-14600 desktop cpu sits at 7-8w idle. I imagine a mobile intel cpu will idle at 4-5w. Why buy this motherboard and not one of their mini pcs? Are they not suitable for this use?

Why did you buy the AMD and not the Intel version? Or Eventually the MS-01?
@christianlempa3 ай бұрын
Because it was cheaper :) And I wanted to see how the Ryzen performs in idle power usage

Hallo Christian. Darf ich Du sagen? Ich verfolge ihren Kanal jetzt schon seit längerer Zeit. Sie sind ein absolut sympathischer Mensch. Und ich habe von Ihren Videos schon sehr viel gelernt. Danke dafür ;-) Ich bin jetzt nicht unbedingt ein Englisch native speaker. … darum auf deutsch :-) Dieses minisforum Board gibt es ja in zwei Varianten. Auch als Intel Version mit 4 nvme slots. Jetzt die Frage an sie. Ich mag ja immer alles sehr gerne redundant. Heißt. Sicherheit. Würde darum lieber zum Intel Board tendieren. Mein setup wäre. Auf zwei 4 tb nvmes das Betriebssystem von Proxmox. Plus VM Speicher, Raid 1. Plus zwei 4 Tb nvmes. Raid 1. für die VMs. Habe zwei UnRaid Server mit 400 Tb am laufen. Gespiegelt. Bin sehr in Video und Fotografie tätig. Darum der Speicher. Und. Ein unsicherer Mensch, der Angst davor hat, Daten zu verlieren. Power Consumptiion ist sehr wichtig. Können sie mir mit einer Entscheidung helfen? Viele Grüße an Sie

Vielen Dank für die tollen Komplimente :D klar darfst du, du sagen ;) Also bezüglich deiner Frage, es ist natürlich nicht einfach eine genaue Empfehlung zu geben. Was das Thema Sicherheit für deine Daten angeht lässt sich dieses Ziel aber mit vielen Geräten erreichen, da würde ich nicht direkt ein bestimmtes Mainboard empfehlen. Da geht's eher darum ob es die gewünschte CPU unterstützt, genug Schnittstellen hat, usw. Zum Thema Daten Sicherheit brauchst du Redundanz + Backups. D.h. ein funktionierendes RAID system (Hardware Raid oder Software Raid mit ZFS z.B.), und regelmäßige Backups.
