I've just gotten a new to bd795i se with a ryzen 7945hx processor but performance is lower than others in geekbench 6 even after taking steps to tune system. Theres a 20% difference in multicore performance between mine and others which is a bit too much https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/com...e=11524201 Tuning steps include PTM7950 pad, original paste was a hardened pad(not good) 30mv undervolt in UXTU Windows power profile better performance AMD chipset drivers and graphics drivers installed Tried running with a PCIE gpu and no performance difference I got two ram kits 2x8gb samsung and hynix with the board

I haven't tried any of those options yet. Here are your Geekbench scores. You're weighing a motherboard choice between the 795iM and ITX versions, considering cooling for VRMs and PCIe slot differences. Your microATX setup is in question, and you're unsure whether it fits the ITX or needs a different configuration.

It likely relates to RAM speed differences across multicore benchmarks. I don’t believe sidegrading to other boards is necessary unless there are capabilities beyond USB-C, which doesn’t appear here. The Minisforum AI X1 Pro includes an AI processor, third-generation M.2 slot, USB 4 support, and a highly overclockable chip, though I only use the overclocking features occasionally.

I’d like to inform others that my board completely stopped working after about 14-20 days despite normal operation. It didn’t just shut down suddenly; the computer ran smoothly until I performed a simple restart in Windows. Then it went black completely. When I tried to power it on, the fans started but there was no display or BIOS access. I reset the CMOS via the button and by disconnecting the battery, tested various graphics cards, RAM, SSDs, and drives—nothing worked. The power button kept spinning at a normal speed, yet there was no POST or output. I replaced it yesterday with another board from Amazon using the same parts, and it booted perfectly for about 24 hours. Someone on another forum reported the same issue, fixing it by rebooting after a couple weeks.

Sorry to hear that. It’s removed from eBay but still worth what I paid for. Did you have the 7945hx model? Could you share the PSU, GPU, and other components you’re using? I’d appreciate help diagnosing this so it doesn’t recur.

They did it too—just pull out your RAM and reinsert it properly. Swap them if needed. Be careful, it’s really tight to push in, but use your thumbs on each side and apply pressure while pushing. Hope that helps!

everyone was seeking essential ram, that’s why I chose it. it works smoothly at 6000 oc for me, though i spent several days researching before trying it. i relied on some tips from reddit threads, and i won’t teach anyone how to do this since a wrong move could be dangerous. currently i’m running at 5200 with the same settings in my bios, and my pc is failing. i’m concerned about my onboard gpu because i don’t have a dedicated card installed. playing kenshi for an hour surprised me a lot—this little poc caught my attention. keep talking on discord, there’s help there. i might have to wait a bit, but i got a response almost instantly... there’s a 7945hx sub post in it.

I also experimented with various RAM configurations—different sticks, swapping them around. The device performed poorly. Fortunately, it fell within Amazon’s 30-day return policy, which allowed me to try the M-ATX model and it has been working well thus far.

I’m dealing with a fractured collarbone today, so apologies if this seems redundant. Wendel shared a miniforum review (among many) noting that most modern devices require a CMOS battery to boot, and CMOS batteries—particularly those from Chinese manufacturers—aren’t always reliable. I’ve booted mine without a battery for a CMOS reset, but it’s likely the same across every miniforum board update. I don’t believe you’ve done anything wrong, though; I might have returned the board, but someone else could find this helpful next time.

I received two models: a 64GB unit and a 4TB 990 Pro. I’ll be using it more for daily tasks rather than the larger machine that consumes around 150-170 watts when idle.
