Story

Introducing The MINISFORUM

For a long time, Intel® Nuc is known for its excellent performance and light size. It has always been the representative of Mini PC, leading the design of industry products, and is regarded as the king of minis! But it was criticized by fans for the slow performance improvement!

With the release of the AMD® Ryzen ™ Core Series, the Ryzen™  is now equipped with more cores, a stronger display card as well as having a quick response time. With this, it is made suitable for both work and entertainment as it enables you to complete your desired tasks efficiently.

DMAF5 is the first AMD® product designed by our company. Therefore, we have received official support from AMD®. We have listened to the constructive opinions of a large number of customers in the hope that it can set a new benchmark for professionalism. We are committed to creating innovative next-generation mini pc.

Features

  1. Powerful AMD® Ryzen5 and Radeon™Vega 8
  2. High cost performance
  3. Upgrade-friendly
  4. Build-in Intel® WIFI6
  5. Support 3 screens -4K@60
  6. Dual RJ45 LAN Ports support more industrial uses

Why Choose MINISFORUM

AMD ® Ryzen ™ 5 processor, 4 cores / 8 threads

Equipped with Radeon™Vega 8 Graphics 8 Cores Graphics

Brings a shocking visual effect

Max Turbo Frequency 3.7GHz

Unlocked the TDP, and No CPU throttling under 100% load for 24 hours

Our Mini PC is designed with a press and pop-up clasp, which makes it easy to install additional memory, SSD, HDD and Wi-Fi.

a. Dual channel (SODIMM Slots×2)

Dual-channel RAM is a version of multi-channel memory. All versions of multi-channel RAM increase data transmission speed by adding more communication channels between memory and memory controller.The transmission speed is faster than single channel.

b. M.2 2280  NVMe SSD slot ×1

Support ultra-fast NVMe SSD, you will be able to run the operating system and games faster.

c. 2.5 inch SATA HDD Slot (SATA 3.0 6.0Gb/s) ×1

You can add low-cost, large-capacity hard drives, enjoy the fun of DIY.

Intel® AX200 WLAN belongs to the AX-22260 family, code-named “Cyclone Peak”, supports WiFi 6 technology (802.11ax) standard, integrates Bluetooth 5.0 module, supports 5GHz / 2.4GHz dual frequency and multi-user 2×2 MIMO (MU-MIMO), peak bandwidth It is 2.4Gbps, which is at least 37% higher than the current 802.11ac rate. WiFi5 802.11ac standard supports 160Mhz bandwidth.


The MINISFORUM mini PC drives up to three independent displays with incredible clarity and maximum productivity in your workflow with excellent triple display solutions using HDMI, DisplayPort as well as USB-C output.

【Dual RJ45 LAN Ports】DMAF5 comes with two Gigabytes LAN ports which provide you much more network usage, such as software router(OpenWRT/DD-WRT/Tomato, etc.), firewall, NAT and network isolation, etc.

The AMD® Ryzen5 3550H processor has a default TDP of 15W, and the power consumption of 15W limits its performance. AMD® officially allows a maximum power consumption of 35W. Of course, extremely clever optimization is required to achieve this goal. Therfore, we have made the following efforts:

a. Use a larger turbofan.

b. Add a thick thermally conductive copper tube and spray graphene on the heat dissipation module.

C. Equipped with power adapter, the maximum power consumption is 65W.

VESA Bracket——The VESA mount is ready to for the easy installation on the back of the VESA compatible televisions TV or monitors.

Multiple types of interface allows bring you to have fun with multi-screens, high-definition playbacks and other functions.

Are you still worried that you won’t be able to get after-sale protection after you purchase such electronic products? MINISFORUM has a professional after-sale team so that if you have any issues you can quickly get a professional solution,We also have our own BBS https://bbs.minisforum.com, which we can discuss computer knowledge or you can send emails to our after-sales team at (support@minisforum.com) and we will reply to them promptly.

Deskmini DMAF5 Testing Report

1.Performance comparison of competitive products CPU&GPU

AMD Ryzen®5 processor, 4 cores / 8 threads,Equipped with Radeon™Vega 8 Graphics 8 Cores Graphics,Processor Base Frequency,Max Turbo Frequency 3.7GHz.CPU & GPU, with performance significantly higher than Intel® i5 8250U, higher than Intel® i7 8550U, and the same as Intel® i5 8259U.​

2. Temperature test

• Thanks to super cooling, TDP can be unlocked for higher performance. The following results were tested using AIDA64. • AIDA64 test: stress test CPU / GPU / memory … 100% load monitoring, for TDP 25W Unlocker, the temperature is maintained at about 61 ° C, the CPU frequency still performs best; for TDP 35W Unlocker, the temperature is maintained at At 75 ° C, the CPU frequency is increased by 0.55Ghz.

• The comparative test model uses the Intel Core® i5 8259U processor with a basic frequency of 2.3 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of up to 3.80 GHz. Without TDP Unlocker and poor heat dissipation conditions, it is unable to fully utilize the better performance of the CPU.

3. 3DMARK Stress Test

• The following results were tested using 3DMARK 13 • Test items: [ Time Spy Stress Test ] • Test result: 99.3% PASSED.

4. 3DMARK11 TEST

• The DeskMini DMAF5 and the i7 CPU models on the market were tested and compared with 3DMARK11:

5. PCMark 10 TEST

CineBench is a very convincing test system for CPU and graphics card, the latest version is R20. Compared with the maximum 16 cores of R11.5 version, the R15 version can support up to 256 logical cores. In addition, the new version also strengthens the investigation of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights, and reflection blur. The detection is more accurate.

• TDP 25W =3503
• TDP 35W =3893

6. 3DMARK Night Raid TEST

• TDP 25W =5722

• TDP 35W =6528

Risks & Challenge

We are a company specializing in the production of the mini PC and we have our own Amazon store. As we have our own factory, we have great advantages in quality control and after-sales service. The reason for our crowdfunding is to build our brand awareness and establish a connection with computer enthusiasts. Our mini PC is ready for mass production.  We will ship in October 2020, during this period we will always optimize the product, stay tuned.
