Up to three monitors can be connected at the same time with a maximum resolution of one 8K@60Hz and two 4K@60Hz. https://www.printables.com/model/535003-minisforum-um690-case-bottom-with-fan-and-vent-cut Special thanks to kvikindi Added Section 3.1 - Monitoring Tools/Updated Table of Contents/Added MSI Afterburner Overlay Video Guide It has been observed that using multiple USB ports simultaneously or through a hub (consisting of one standard 500ma device and 2-4 ~150ma adapters) on UM773 can cause an overload of power draw. This overload can lead to the m.2 and USB controllers for the wifi/BT chip becoming unresponsive or unrecognizable. Ideally, each USB port should be capable of handling 500 ma of power, and the USB 4 port is advertised as being able to handle 3 Amps. However, if there are less than 1.2 amps of draw via a hub for either USB C port or when all the USB ports on the rear are used by low-power adapters, it can cause power issues and turn off wifi/BT features. To avoid this issue, it is recommended to use a powered hub. You may be able to thank two things for that small uplift. The first is that the new chip’s CPU cores can hit speeds up to 4.75 GHz, a slight boost over the 4.7 GHz top speed for the previous-gen versions. The second is that AMD allows PC makers to set a default TDP for the new chip in the 35 to 54 watt range, and it seems like MINISFORUM opted for 54 watts.
If you've been having stability issues make sure to set your unit to AUTO. This should hopefully resolve stability but if not proceed to the next step. Please note that you may also need to update your Wi-Fi driver on Windows before it becomes functional. If you don't see the Bluetooth driver in "Device Manager," try reseating your Bluetooth module under the M2 drive. Please be very careful when handling the two antennas and slide the plastic shielding off carefully to avoid bumping the antennas.Meanwhile, the small machine can be equipped with up to 64 GB of DDR5 memory using two SODIMMs, an M.2-2280 SSD with a PCIe 4.0 interface, and one 2.5-inch HDD or SSD for bulk storage. Multiple users with prebuilt units are reporting RAM faults. If you have a different set of memory, swap it and test it in OCCT If there are any errors, they should appear in less than 10 minutes after running the program. If you notice games crashing, use the 3D Standard Test with high shader complexity. To test the stability of extended VRAM caches larger than 2GB, use the VRAM Test. Additionally, if you're experiencing random shutdowns during usage, use the Power tab to test the power delivery on the unit itself. The processor is the star of the show. While the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS chip is just a modest upgrade over AMD’s previous-gen Ryzen 7 6800H or Ryzen 7 6800HS, MINISFORUM says the Ryzen 7 7735HS scores 5% better than a Ryzen 7 6800H chip Cinebench R23’s single-core benchmark and 8% better in multi-core performance.
When in safe mode and with DDU up select " Clean and Restart". This should fully remove the older driver afterward rebooting into Windows out of safe mode. Reinstall the correct driver at this point.On the connectivity side of matters, the Venus Series UM773 offers an M.2-2230 slot for a Wi-Fi + Bluetooth adapter, a 2.5 GbE connector, one USB4 port, three USB 3.2 Gen2 connectors (Type-A and Type-C), two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, and a TRRS audio input/output for headsets. While Minisforum does not explicitly say that the USB4 port can be used to attach an external graphics card installed into an eGFX box, this is certainly an option if one would like to use this tiny system for more serious gaming. Under the hood the computer features two SODIMM slots with support for dual-channel DDR5-4800 memory, an M.2 2280 slot for PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, and a 2.5 inch bay for a SATA 3 hard drive or SSD. There’s also an M.2 2230 slot occupied by a WiFi & Bluetooth card and a fan with 120 blades for active cooling as well as two heat pipes and liquid metal applied to the CPU. Issues such as freezing, bluescreens, and others may also be caused by faulty memory. If you suspect that the issue is related to faulty memory, you can schedule a memory test by searching for the "Memory Diagnostic" app and running it during the next system reboot. Reseating your RAM has been known to resolve stability issues as well, HIGHLY recommend you try this before testing your memory.
The USB-C port on the UM773 Lite / SE can not be used as a power supply port. Please use the DC19V power supply.
Except for the barebones version, all versions come with Windows 11 Home pre-installed. The barebones version does not include RAM and SSD; therefore, it does not have pre-installed Windows 11 Home. The hardware brands may vary from batch to batch. Please rest assured that they all meet Minisforum's standards and are all covered by the warranty. You must be in SAFE mode to correctly uninstall the older drivers fully. If you have corrupted drivers DDU will completely remove any traces of them so you can proceed with a fresh install. The Ryzen 7 6800H, meanwhile, has a 45-watt default TDP and the Ryzen 7 6800HS is set to 35 watts by default. If you have a fix or notice a problem with no fix please let me know in the comments below and I'll expand to this as necessary.
Great Deal
