Compact workstation core

The MSI Cubi 5 Professional is a mini desktop built around an Intel Core i3-1215U processor with 6 cores and 8 threads. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 3200 memory and a 1TB PCIe SSD, running Windows 11 Pro out of the box. The 65W power supply drives the entire 4.88-inch square chassis.

Triple-display office fit

This system suits workers who need three 4K screens from a tiny footprint — HDMI, DisplayPort 1.4 and Thunderbolt 4 each drive one display. Dual RJ45 ports give wired redundancy for managed networks. Buyers who need discrete graphics power or more than 64GB of RAM should look elsewhere.

Memory ceiling decides the upgrade path

The board offers two SODIMM slots and a 64GB maximum, so the installed 32GB kit leaves room to double capacity later. If your workload already demands the full 64GB limit, this platform cannot grow further.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 65W supply and i3-1215U draw during all-day workloads?

The system ships with a 65W power adapter and the Intel Core i3-1215U has a base frequency of 3.3 GHz and a max turbo of 4.4 GHz, so sustained loads stay within that 65W envelope.

Which display cables or adapters must I already own to use the HDMI, DP 1.4 and Thunderbolt 4 video outputs?

You need an HDMI 2.0b cable, a DisplayPort 1.4 cable, or a USB-C cable certified for Thunderbolt 4 depending on which of the three video ports you connect.

Will my existing DDR4 3200 SODIMM modules work if I want to expand the two available slots up to 64 GB?

Yes, the board accepts standard DDR4 3200 SODIMMs and both of the two slots are free, allowing a total of 64 GB.
