The Minisforum BD770i features an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX mobile CPU paired with dual-channel DDR5 memory and two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots. Additionally, users have the option to add discrete graphics thanks to the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot.
Minisforum has just introduced the BD770i, a Mini-ITX motherboard powered by a built-in AMD Dragon Range mobile processor. This should make building a PC slightly easier for beginners, as the CPU and cooler come pre-installed.
At the helm of the BD770i is an AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX, a desktop-class chip using a BGA package. It features eight Zen 4 cores boosting up to 5.1 GHz and basic Radeon 610M integrated graphics with 2 Compute Units. Furthermore, the board is equipped with a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, allowing buyers to install a discrete graphics card. Also present are two DDR5 SODIMM slots and a couple of PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots for storage.
Connectivity-wise, we’re looking at four USB-A ports (2x 5 Gbps + 2x 480 Mbps), a 20 Gbps USB-C port with DP Alt mode, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, 2.5 GbE LAN, and three 3.5 mm audio jacks. Users also get a 19-pin USB header, four 4-pin fan connectors, an M.2 2230 E-key slot for a wireless card, as well as the usual headers for front panel connectors and audio.
