Bring custom performance to tight spaces with the Cubi 5 12M-015BUS Mini Desktop Computer in black from MSI. Boasting a barebone design, this mini desktop computer features a 12th Gen 3.3 GHz Intel Core i5 10-core CPU for snappy processing. Install up to 64GB of RAM via two DDR4-2666 SO-DIMM slots and add storage using an M.2 SSD slot and 2.5" drive bay. Install your preferred compatible operating system for a tailored user experience. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics ensure smooth and detailed views; output video at resolutions up to 8K or use the DisplayPort, HDMI, and Thunderbolt 4 interfaces to connect up to three displays. Measuring just 4.88" on its longest side, the Cubi 5 easily deploys to small spaces or compatible 100 x 100mm VESA mounts.
In addition to the Thunderbolt 4 port, the Cubi 5 also sports four USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports for connecting wired peripherals. Or, pair to wireless accessories via Bluetooth 5.2. Access wireless internet with Wi-Fi 6E or use the 2.5 Gigabit and Gigabit Ethernet ports to connect to wired networks. A TPM chip ensures platform integrity, while the easily-upgradeable design allows you to swap out components as your needs change.
A 12th Gen 3.3 GHz Intel Core i5 10-core processor ensures powerful performance, while integrated Intel UHD Graphics allows for a detailed and immersive viewing experience.
Barebone Design for Customized Performance
Install up to 64GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM via two SO-DIMM slots. A M.2 PCIe NVMe slot and 2.5" drive bay allow for flexible storage. Install your preferred compatible OS. Please note, RAM, drives, and operating systems are available separately.
Support for Resolutions up to 8K
With support for resolutions up to 8K, the Cubi 5 is ready to tackle entertainment, productivity, and more. Plus, take advantage of flexible video output via HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4, or Thunderbolt 4 and extend screen space to up to three monitors.
Thunderbolt 4 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB Type-C connector and features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB4 at up to 20 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort allows you to connect a single 8K monitor or up to two 4K displays simultaneously. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single Thunderbolt 4 port.
Doubling the speed of its predecessor, USB 3.2 Gen 2 features a maximum throughput of 10 Gb/s when used with compatible devices and is synonymous with USB 3.1 Gen 2.
Wi-Fi 6E boasts improved signal strength and transmission security for minimized interference and smoother connectivity compared to older Wi-Fi 5 standards.
A dual LAN design lends the Cubi 5 to high security environments, while also facilitating easy integration into dual-network environments. Working with network attached storage? Connect and rapidly transfer data with the high bandwidth and low latency of the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN.
A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is designed to provide security-related functions, ensuring platform integrity. You can store your sensitive data and passwords by encryption keys for advanced security.
Measuring just 4.88" on its longest side, the Cubi features a minimal footprint for easy deployment. Plus, it supports the 100 x 100mm VESA mount standard and comes with mounting hardware for easy attachment to compatible stands and peripherals.
