The real use of the OCulink port would be an eGPU, not necessarily the M.2 2280 SSD.

I don't think you understood correctly. The Chassis has a cutout for the OCULink Port but for adding that, you need to add the supplied M.2 (PCIe Gen 4x4) to OCuLink Adapter to the 2nd M.2 Port, hence using that port and having one M.2 slot for adding SSD.

Non-barebones comes with windows 11 HOME. Storage is a basic Kingston NVME.
I'll be getting barebones and adding my own components.

8MB L2 + 16MB L3 = 24MB Total Cache. And why it can't go above 4K@60Hz.
The HDMI 2.1 can run 4K @ 120Hz, the DP can run 4K@165Hz and the two USB 4 ports can run 8K @ 60Hz. I am using 7940HS and running a LG 4K 165 Hz Monitor at 120Hz using the HDMI 2.1

Please suggest memory and ssd deals to add to this barebone that are a better value or performance than the non-barebones minisforum is offering. Thank you!

For SSD, I think you should go with a 2TB one, in case you want to use the other M.2 port for adding the OCuLink Adapter. Crucial P5 Plus deal at $90 is apretty solid deal.

For Ram, going for 5600 MHz will give a decent boost to your integrated GPU but they costs a bit more than the most common 4800 MHz modules.
I think Crucial DDR5 5600 MHz 16GB module at $46 in newegg is a decent one. Get two of them for dual channel.

If you really want to optimize the 780m I'd go with this one:

I pulled my RAM [newegg.com] and SSD [amazon.com] from the UM790 Pro I just sold. I pre-ordered this on Nov 9th when it went live on official site. With the dual nic I can actually remove the unneeded Intel Wifi and replace with a 2230 SSD [amazon.com].

These new MiniPCs are amazing. I am becoming a MinisForum fanboy? I will also be pre-ordering Minisforum Project DRFXI [notebookcheck.net] or the BD770i [minisforum.com] if they release it with the 7945HX. The motherboard would pair really well with the JONSBO D31 MESH Case. [newegg.com]

The AMD 780M mobile is amazing on board graphics. However, Intel will soon be releasing FASTER iGPU CPUs soon. This will be so good for consumers. It is exciting to think of what the performace of budget offerings will be in a couple of years! ...or even this time next year.

I think the 7945HX MoDT platform will be released early next year and even I'm interested on that one.

Anyone know if this comes with 5600 RAM, or only support up to 5600? And what's brand/model of SSD? They charge $240 extra for 64G/1TB, that seems the going rate buying separately? Assuming 5600 and relatively reasonable SSD?

No idea how good a deal this is. Haven't bought computer for decades. Any suggestions? Thanks

Your linked ssd has heatsink attached, can a ssd with heat sink fit these minipcs um790pro or um780xtx? Does it have space in there to fit. I am thinking to order 990pro with heat sink and they also have without heat sink option. This for my um780xtx barebones

I am pretty certain you DO NOT need an additional heat sink as they are built into the PC...(with thermal pads) I've only opened the 780 xtx once. I think I the heat sink in a box. I'll open it up again this weekend to remove the Wi-Fi adapter to replace it with a 2GB 2230 SSD I have been meaning to put in. I've actually done 3 more random (older gen) MinusForum barebones office PCs this past week for customers. Everyone loves them so far. Time will be the true test.

You can confirm this with the videos on MinusForum...but I am pretty darn certain you will not need a heatsink as I'm nearly 100% sure I didn't use mine. If I get home at a decent hour tonight I'll open up my wall to put a couple (LAN & NAS) CAT6 receptacles in so I can eliminate the 2230 WiFi and utilize the dual antenna BT 5.3 USB adapter.
