## Description

Buy

Review: The MS-A2 is the powerhouse of the cell - I purchased this MS-A2 model with 64GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, but then proceeded to upgrade it to 96GB RAM and add a secondary 4TB SSD. I went with the 9955HX model primarily because I wanted a lot of CPU cores for my use-case. At the time I purchased, the 'bare' system seemed to be having trouble shipping out, so I opted to go for the system which included RAM and SSD, and then add more RAM and storage to it. This is my second Minisforum system, after getting a UM890 Pro in late 2024 (which is still running perfectly as a development box). My use-case for this was to run Proxmox in a homelab setup, in order to centralise a lot of internal services and to make it easier to manage them. I've been running a dedicated pfsense system for a few years, and wanted to look into virtualising and moving to opnsense instead, while also migrating other services across from Unraid and other systems. My goal is to have Unraid act more like a pure NAS and less like a homelab environment. My initial thoughts on this system are mostly positive. It performs very well, as you'd expect. It seems as though nothing really taxes the CPU in this setting, almost always sitting at less than 5% utilisation, though I'm still only part of the way through migrating most services. I'll endeavour to update my review once I've finished moving more services across and done some more in-depth testing and formed a longer-term experience of it. The one downside I have with this is the noise. It's certainly not super-loud, but whereas I can comfortably have other systems in rooms where people sleep, this system regularly ramps up the fans. They're not loud as such, but the noise profile is definitely audible, and not pleasant. There's not much else to be expected from the laptop-style blower fans I suppose, especially with this much power under the hood, especially when you have it packed into a system as small as this. The reason for this is that even light usage causes at least 1 of the cores to ramp up to the turbo speed of ~5.4Ghz, causing a sudden heat spike and in turn fan ramping. In its stock configuration (but with fans set to 'quiet' mode), it idles at approximately 70°C in a ~20°C environment (giving it a t-delta of 50C), with heat spikes up to around 73°C, and infrequently up to 76°C. This can be resolved by disabling CPU boosting, which will keep it capped at ~2.5Ghz. If you're running this in a typical homelab setup, then having 32 cores at 2.5Ghz is still exceptional, and the majority of things most folks would run in a homelab still won't push it hard enough where the lower clock speed will be noticeable. In this setup, I was able to bring my idle temperatures down to approximately 60°C, with peaks up to around 62°C, giving it a new t-delta of approximately 40°C. In turn, the fans stopped ramping up randomly. Other owners have suggested that replacing the thermal paste may help - I haven't tried this yet, but it's something you may wish to consider. My personal recommendation for thermal paste is Arctic MX-4 based on many years of using it across lots of systems, but there's plenty of other good options out there. Overall, it's a great little system for homelab use-cases, and could comfortably replace multi-system setups The wonderful thing about systems like this running Proxmox is that you can comfortably give single or dual-cores to specific services, and still have mountains of CPU power still available. The value proposition is definitely there when you consider what it costs for even older-generation Xeon setups.
Review: Exactly what I wanted - This replaced my older, bulky ATX tower PC, just wanted to upgrade with something smaller that could handle a bit of everything and after reading bunch of reviews and watched several YouTube reviews, I took a chance on MS-A2. The size is proper compact, the aluminium body feels solid and I appreciate the tool-less base which makes it instant to open for upgrades. I already threw a second SSD to one of the three M.2 slots and there’s still room for more storage. It’s got a ton of ports, that’s very handy. I've been running a few VMs on it and doing some 4K editing and it's just basically chewing through everything without a complaint. It can get a bit noisy when it’s under full load, but that’s to be expected with this much power in a small thing, though the cooling seems to manage the heat well. When it's idling, it's fairly quiet, so it would be great as a 24/7 server. The integrated graphics are a bit useless for anything but spreadsheets, but the fact you can just plug in a full eGPU is a big plus (though you need to add oculink adapter to that massive pcie). A seriously capable machine, recommended.

## Features

- Powerful processor: MINISFORUM M1 Pro-125H is equipped with Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor (14 cores and 18 threads, up to 4.5GHz) and integrated Intel Arc graphics, providing excellent multi-threaded computing and smooth HD graphics processing experience to meet the needs of content creation, light gaming and multimedia editing. Pre-installed Copilot releases a higher level of AI productivity to help work and creativity.
- High-speed memory & expandable storage: Equipped with DDR5 SODIMM, up to 5600 MT/s, and supports up to 96 GB; and equipped with dual M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots (each slot supports up to 4TB capacity). RAID 0 can increase speed; RAID 1 can protect your data security, meet the needs of large-capacity data processing and high-speed reading and writing, and start and load applications faster.
- Immersive gaming experience: 65W powerful output and OCuLink GPU expansion support allow you to experience AAA games to the extreme. Built-in sound card and dual speakers, 4K output, intelligent noise reduction, and ultra-fast DDR5/SSD work together to enhance your gaming or live streaming experience, and Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 provide wide-area low-latency wireless connection.
- Quad 4K display output: Support up to 4 displays through HDMI 2.1 (4K@60Hz), DP 1.4 (up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz), and dual USB4 ports (up to 8K@60Hz) to create an efficient multi-display configuration. USB4 supports 15W output and 65-100W input, of which the USB4 port (up to 40Gbps) provides 15W output and 65-100W input for fast data transfer and dynamic power supply.
- Efficient heat dissipation: Adopting high-efficiency phase change material and dual pure copper heat pipes, the heat generated under 65W TDP high load is quickly conducted; the dual fan design with large diameter silent fan blades effectively cools the CPU, memory and hard disk. The standby temperature is only 47℃, the full load temperature is less than 86℃, and the noise is less than 45dB, achieving a perfect balance between quietness and performance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great as a NAS... just be mindful of heat control
*by B***O on 22 December 2025*

Brought this to replace a home built NAS. Whilst its not a fair comparison as I had 32GBN DDR4 memory, Core i5 K series, etc... this workstation has been fantastic. Streams my media around the house perfectly. I have mine locked up in a mini-rack in an airing cupboard, so limited airflow but a fan on top of the rack helps a lot as this thing can be spike in terms of heat. The components 2.5Gb ethernet, etc... is fantastic. I'm running Unraid and it works perfectly fine. Do I think it could simultaneously stream 4k to 8 locations in the house... I'm not so sure, due to my setup transcoding is rare, but I'd suspect this could handle 1 or 2 transcoded streams at the same time. Why 4 stars instead of 5? Its a great system, its got some great specs, and the form factor is great as a NAS, there's just something niggling in my head about head room for anything computationally challenging.
