Our take on the MINISFORUM MS-02 Ultra Workstation Barebone Mini PC

The MS-02 Ultra is a small-form-factor workstation barebone built around Intel's Core Ultra 9 285HX, a 24-core laptop-class chip that boosts to 5.5 GHz. It stands out for its networking and expansion: dual 25GbE SFP+ ports, 10GbE and 2.5GbE RJ45, Wi-Fi 7, three USB4 ports, four DDR5 SO-DIMM slots with ECC support, and PCIe 5.0 x16 for a discrete GPU. It ships as a barebone, so you supply memory, storage and an operating system. That makes it a fit for homelab and NAS builders, virtualisation users and creators who want workstation I/O in a compact box, while shoppers wanting a ready-to-run gaming PC should look at prebuilt mini PCs instead. Its integrated Intel Graphics handles everyday work and light gaming, not demanding titles at high settings.

Questions and answers

What do I need to add to the MS-02 Ultra barebone?
You need DDR5 SO-DIMM memory, at least one M.2 2280 NVMe SSD and an operating system. The CPU, networking and chassis are included.
Can I install a discrete graphics card?
Yes. There is a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with bifurcation support. The second PCIe 4.0 x16 slot is occupied by the 25GbE NIC and two M.2 slots and is not free for expansion.
How much memory does it support?
Four DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, with ECC supported. XMP overclocking is not supported, so memory runs at JEDEC speeds.
How many displays can it drive?
Up to four: one HDMI 2.1 FRL and three USB4 ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode, each capable of 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz.
Is it good for gaming?
The integrated Intel Graphics handles light and older games. For modern titles at high settings you need a discrete GPU in the PCIe 5.0 slot.

Two 25GbE SFP+ ports, one 10GbE RJ45, one 2.5GbE RJ45 with vPro, plus Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
