MaxSun Releases MS-MoDT 230H/205H D4 WIFI Motherboards with Intel Core H-Series CPUs

MaxSun has launched two MoDT (Mobile on Desktop) motherboards with soldered Intel processors, the MS-MoDT 230H D4 WIFI and MS-MoDT 205H D4 WIFI. Both use the microATX form factor at 190 x 180 mm, suitable for a wide range of compact cases for SFF builds, workstations, and edge computing. Despite the naming, the Core 7 230H and Core 5 205H are Raptor Lake parts, not Arrow Lake. The MS-MoDT 230H board includes the Intel Core 7 230H processor with 10 cores (6P + 4E), 16 threads, up to 5.2 GHz boost, 24 MB cache, and 45 W base TDP with turbo scaling up to 115 W. It also gets a dedicated VRM heatsink and four USB 3.2 Gen 2 rear ports. The MS-MoDT 205H board steps down to the Intel Core 5 205H CPU that brings 8-core (4P+4E), 12 threads, up to 4.8 GHz, 12 MB cache, and the same 45 W / 115 W power envelope. Worth noting that neither chip has integrated graphics enabled.

Both motherboards share the same base specifications: two DDR4 DIMM slots for up to 64 GB at DDR4-3200, two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots supporting 2242 and 2280 drives, two SATA 3.0 ports, Realtek Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3. The MoDT form factor is not new, with several brands releasing similar products recently, including the Minisforum BD895i SE ITX powered by the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX and Erying’s microATX motherboard series based on Intel Core Ultra 200H processors. The MoDT format that integrates a mobile CPU directly onto a desktop board has the pricing advantage over similar CPU and board combos. The MaxSun Intel based MoDT motherboards’ exact pricing and availability are yet unknown however, the pricing is estimated to be around $110-200.
