I opened a mini PC 'Minisforum Venus Series UN1245' with a volume of only 0.9 liters and looked into its contents
' Minisforum Venus Series UN1265 ' and ' Minisforum Venus Series UN1245 ' equipped with the 12th generation Intel Core series will appear from Minisforum, a mini PC maker. I was wondering what the inside of the ultra-compact PC of 129.6 mm × 127.8 mm × 54.3 mm looks like, so I removed the exterior of the Minisforum Venus Series UN1245 and actually checked its contents.

The appearance of the Minisforum Venus Series UN1245 and what the mounted terminals look like have been reviewed in the following article.
Body back
When I removed the four rubber feet, there was a screw hole.
Remove the screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the four screws, put the tool in the notch marked 'FRONT' and lift it up.
Then the back plate will pop off.
A Wi-Fi antenna is attached to the back side of the back plate.
The Wi-Fi antenna is connected to the Wi-Fi chip attached to the motherboard.
The certification of the technical conformity mark affixed to the back plate belongs to this Wi-Fi chip.
The motherboard removed from the main unit by removing the screws looks like this. Only one motherboard is contained in a small bone with a capacity of 0.9 liters.
Two Lexar laptop memory
The SSD is stuck in the M.2 slot, and the heat sink is fixed with rubber. The storage is KINGSTON's M.2 (Type 2280) PCIe connection 512GB SSD.
Between the LAN port and the DisplayPort port, there was a SATA cable covered with a rubber cap.
Additional storage can be added with expansion.
The added storage was designed to be fixed on the back side of the back plate.
When the motherboard is turned over, the CPU cooler is installed.
It is connected to a copper cooler. Since the Minisforum Venus Series UN1245 this time is borrowed, I could not remove the CPU cooler, but the Intel Core i5-12450H is installed under this CPU cooler.
Next, we plan to actually start the Minisforum Venus Series UN1245 and run the benchmark.
