It'll probably work at 4800MT/s... This used laptop has 96GB of RAM and the same processor.

Interesting! I've not stressed anything since the swap. I figured the temps would show regardless. The temps across 3 systems, trade places through out the day. Sometimes the re-pasted PC is hotter than the other two.
That Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pad, seems rad. I might have to get some and try it out on one of the other two MS-01s.
Great, thanks for the tip! The RAM from Crucial can run at 4800MHz, then I'll buy it
It's been said a few times now, intel underrates ram compatibility often. Real world test have shown it works.
If you have one, put a metal plate between the dryer and your MS-01.
The EM field of the dryer motor is causing the RF.
My Minis Forum UM690 has a long boot time if it has been unplugged for a long time or if there is a peripheral change. The now gone MF discussion board said this was normal as the BIOS assumes there is a config change under these conditions and trains the buses. It does fool you as it takes a long time for the pre-boot logo to appear.
Rejoice! I finally see a ship date for 2 of my 3 units. Slow boat from Hong Kong. Probably will take a month.
Depends if you are in the US or the EU.
The Panama Canal is suffering from low water and it is causing delays of a week to 2 weeks. Some freight is being offloaded and shipped by rail over the mountains and reloaded for a EU bound ship.
Due to all the military activity in the Red Sea, some ships are going the African Cape route to the EU to avoid Suez.
Weird time for global logistics.
They remove bad reviews from their homepage, the EU homepage at least.
I have made a bad review there, because of the long shipping times and constant delays.
Now ALL non 5 star reviews are gone!
LoL!

ext4, you are right. But why would it swap that much? Wouldn't it make more sense to invest in RAM instead of an SSD?
Most inexpensive cards out there are based on ASMedia PCI switch and happen to be Gen3 because they are cheap. You might be able to find Broadcom based Gen4 PCI switch card (think I ran across one recently), they are super expensive, like 400 bucks and not to mention power hungry too.
Also, the PCIe 4 on this PC is at x8 lanes, not x16 lanes. That is like having a PCIe 3 x16 slot.
I can confirm this! I saw the bad reviews and they are all gone now. Even when sorting the old ones first, the don't appear anymore.
Lucky you. I also ordered 5x MS-01 on Jan 21. Still waiting. Never thought I'd get to this point, but I'm considering getting a refund. The whole reason for getting the 5x MS-01 was to replace a rack of 2U xeons that work fine, but are too loud, hot and power hungry for home lab use. I'm now thinking about just making the rack cooler and quieter, then just deal with the high power utilization.
having replaced a rack of 1U xeons with a bunch of mini pcs including some MS-01's I'm pretty glad to be done with the big heavy loud hot old machines
That's exactly what I'm weighing right now. The noise can be mitigated just by moving the rack to another room, but I'd have to knock some holes in the wall and run cabling to another location. In my case, the room would be on a different floor and the noise wouldn't bother me as much. I could also leave the rack where it is, and build a cooling+sound solution around it. Also, not ideal - and time consuming to boot. The other problem is, these old servers don't have any 10g networking or NVME, both of which I've decided I really need. Running a Proxmox/Ceph cluster on consumer class SATA SSD and 1Gb nics is really a bad idea.
I'll give Minisforum til mid next week. If I don't get a shipment confirmation, I'll just cancel the order and go a different direction.
