Here’s a picture with the heatsinks:

On the left-most NVMe (the one closest to the M2 switch), I used the heat sink that came with the MS-01. I also installed a 2nd and a 3rd NVMe. I tried to put a full length copper heat sink (1mm) on the NVMe right under the fan, and it seemed to fit fine, but it actually blocked the fan so that...

Maybe this will help others: in my Unifi switch, 2.5GbE port does not work, but a 1GbE port in the same switch works. Details below. With my Unifi USW-Enterprise-24-PoE switch, when using a 2.5GbE port, Intel vPro/AMT cannot power on the MS-01. I can use other MeshCommander functionality...

I also used Crucial T500. I compared it to one of the more popular NVMe's that others are using (a Samsung Pro, don't recall the model name exactly). The Crucial T500 is much cooler running. Various online reviews also mention that the Crucial T500 is one of the the coolest running NVMEs. I...

I got the barebones Misinforum MS-0119-12900H (i..e no disk & no memory). I added 64GB of memory (2 x 32GB of Kingston DDR5). I added a 1TB Crucial NVMe and a 500GB Crucial NVMe. The UEFI says that I have 64GB of memory, as expected. I got Intel AMT and Meshcommander to work. They both report...

I figured out my problem (can't power on MS-01). Earlier, my MS-01's vPro 2.5GbE Ethernet port was plugged into my Unifi USW-Aggregation switch's SFP+ port using an SFP+ to RJ45 adapter. This setup was working just fine for everything, except when it comes to powering on the MS-01. When using...

I got an MS-01 (came with BIOS v1.26 out of the box). I got MeshCommander to work. Power Off works. KVM functionality works. But, what should be the pièce de résistance of vPro, Power On, does not work. I can use MeshCommander to power it off. However, once powered off, MeshCommander can't...

@plonka2000, many thanks for your posts. I had ordered the Noctua HT-2 thermal paste for the CPU, and I’m glad that a Noctua employee was kind enough to warn me about the possibility of getting the pump out effect over the course of time, and basically said their products aren’t suited for the...

Thanks. Very useful info. Did you experience any heat related issues before your changes, or you were just being cautious?

While some folks' issues seem to have been resolved with 1.26, your issue, and the nature of the problem in general (problem only occurring potentially days in-use), does make me nervous and doubtful about the ms-01. Specs are great, price is great, but stability for me is important.

I’m looking to get the ms-01. I’ve read the beginning and the last couple of pages of this thread. Am I correct to conclude that folks who were having reliability trouble earlier have had their issues resolved with version 1.26? TBH, I only need 64GB of RAM, but the price difference for Crucial...

Did you have to install any drivers (such as for the built-in 10GbE and 2.5GbE interfaces) to get ESXi 6.7 to work on the MS-01? Or does the generic ESXi 6.7 install recognize the MS-01 hardware?

The Minisforum MS-01 certainly ticks all the boxes for a home lab, but one thing I would miss is IPMI. I really like IPMI (like HPE's iLO). I see that the MS-01 supports vPro. I haven't used it, and from what I've seen it seems okay in a bind (with the seemingly beta Commander software). But...

I have two of these switches. Each switch has, connected to its SFP+ port, a Windows 10 Pro PC with a Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT 10GbE SFP+ NIC. On one PC, I used a 3.0 meter SFP+ DAC. On the other PC, I needed a longer cable, and I wanted to play with a fiber optic patch cable (plus, I like how...

Have you looked into Peplink's Pepwave routers? They support Wi-Fi As WAN, WAN via Ethernet cable (e.g. using cable modem), and/or LTE. Their routers can be configured to failover amongst these connectivity options. I use one of their routers with an LTE SIM card to back up my cable modem. I...

Well, HPE sent me an HPE 240GB SSD (an "officially" supported SSD - it's the model mentioned in the HPE MicroServer Gen10+'s QuickSpecs document). Well, same problem as before (Lost access errors with VMWare). So far, I still have an open ticket against HPE on this, but not much movement on...

The Zyxel has 10 GbE ports, while the Netgear only has 2 GbE ports (plus a combination of 2.5, 5, and 1 GbE ports). I prefer the Zyxel, but it's also more expensive than the Netgear. So, which one to get depends on your needs.

I saw this thread discussion at poplin's forum regarding throughput: Router Throughput

TBH , I was also wondering exactly what they mean by throughput in their specs since the numbers are low for people with Gigabit WANs, unless you go up to more expensive models. In my case, I use a Peplink with a 4G LTE SIM card as backup to another (1GbE) router with cable modem. So, the...

I've been really happy with Peplink in terms of their software and reliability. My use case is a little bit different than yours. I have a dual WAN router. I use a cable modem for my primary WAN and 4G LTE for my secondary WAN. For my secondary WAN, I use a Pepwave MAX BR1 Mini, which takes a...
