This Mini-ITX motherboard with four DDR5 slots could end up as rival to Nvidia's Petaflop AI mini PC
Maxsun’s MS-PC Farm 88601 Mini-ITX motherboard supports four DDR5 slots, PCIe 5.0 expansion, advanced power delivery, and remote management features.
- The MS-PC Farm 88601 supports four DDR5 slots for 256GB maximum memory
- PCIe 5.0 x16 interface allows high-end graphics cards to operate fully
- 10+1+1 phase SPS power design provides stable CPU performance under load
Maxsun Technology has introduced the MS-PC Farm 88601, a Mini-ITX motherboard designed for high-performance, compact computing.
One of the board’s standout features is support for four DDR5 memory slots, which allow up to 256GB of RAM.
This capacity is double what Nvidia’s DGX Spark systems offer, placing the motherboard in a category that can compete with Nvidia’s Petaflop-class AI mini PCs.
High-speed expansion and power delivery
The design focuses on high-density deployment in small form factors while retaining the flexibility needed for demanding workloads.
It includes a PCIe 5.0x16 interface, which ensures high-performance graphics cards run without bandwidth limits.
This capability makes it suitable for AI compute, virtual desktop infrastructure, and cloud gaming workloads.
The board uses a 10+1+1 phase SPS power design to deliver stable CPU operation and fully support processor performance.

Airflow optimizations lower system temperatures by about 10°C under load and raise CPU frequencies by roughly 0.4GHz in real-world testing.
Support for IPMI 4.0 enables remote monitoring, asset tracking, out-of-band control, and one-to-many cluster management without using system resources.
Forced BIOS flashing and an intelligent fault diagnosis system help identify IC component issues and speed up recovery.
Distributed debug LEDs and a one-key BIOS restore button on the rear I/O panel further simplify maintenance.
This setup allows administrators to manage multiple nodes efficiently in cloud or esports environments.
The 88601 belongs to Maxsun’s broader PC Farm lineup, which also includes the B760I and H770I D5 V2 models.
These motherboards share airflow-focused designs that reduce thermal stress and maintain CPU performance during continuous operation.
