A question or quick heads up for the 5600G on X300 BIOS 1.70 - For me it appears that as soon as I manually set GPU Frequency in BIOS (in this case to 2000 MHz), the system seems to raise SOC voltage to around 1.5V. This happens even if I set SOC voltage manually to a sane level. The normal...

Couple pieces of information coming from JZ on HardwareLuxx Forum: 1. ACPI S3 does not work with Renoir on either A300 or X300. S3 is "Suspend to RAM", aka "Sleep" in Windows (as opposed to S4 "Suspend to Disk" aka "Hibernate". This will likely never be fixed for A300 and is pending...

No "chipset" in the sense of a device that is connected to the CPU via a dedicated high-speed interconnect and provides a number of functions and I/O does exist in designs with A300 and X300. There however appears to be a component called "Knoll" which comes in different model and activates...

If I read all of this correct, the X300 is basically the A300 board with overclocking unlocked for ~30€ premium (JZ has X300 listed for €170 vs €140 for the A300). No new IO. No 2.5G or 10G Ethernet. No additional USB 3 ports. No better read audio out. No new power solution. Still 5 phase...

So from recent trademark applications (https://portal.eaeunion.org/sites/odata/_layouts/15/Portal.EEC.Registry.UI/DisplayForm.aspx?ItemId=69635&ListId=d84d16d7-2cc9-4cff-a13b-530f96889dbc via https://twitter.com/momomo_us) it looks like one of the products is indeed the X300, the other...

Starting from the back, the vdroop issue on the SOC rail is known for the A300 and has been confirmed several times in this thread, so your observations are of course correct. What further happens with the A300 is that the board may set SOC Voltage to 1.1V automatically or ignore manually set...

Completely understood, where you wrote that Memtest gives no errors but you still get random shutdowns that in my experience can relate to SOC Voltage being too low or dropping under load, as @gustav also observed, so i wanted to suggest to check that - when you try to run your RAM at 3200 and...

Get the plain Crucial 3200 RAM. Nominally CL 22, dual rank modules for me run 3200 CL18 @ 1.2V or 3333 CL16 @ 1.35V on a 2400G One needs to verify SOC Overclock VID actually having an effect, whether the setting does something at all depends on the BIOS version and whether configured RAM...

As far as I remember, the needed menu for CPU p-State undeclocking is present in BIOS P3.60? Please see https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/sffn-asrocks-deskmini-a300-finally.10553/page-10#post-147902, quoted at the end of the post. GPU underclocking might work from BIOS somewhere and will...

This is false in two ways 1. ASRock bottom of the barrel A320 boards support Matisse / Zen2 Ryzen 3000 Series, see e.g. the CPU support list for A320M-HDV R4.0 https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/A320M-HDV%20R4.0/index.asp#CPU 2. The Deskmini A300 does not use the A320 chipset, the official...

I have just uploaded them, please grab now, will remove the files at some point BIOS L3.51 BIOS L3.53 Thanks for your efforts!

Bottom picture left connects to BIOS chip pins, someone posted the pinout in the custom BIOS thread.

Yes, disappointing but no surprise since CES. That event basically did away with the notion of higher CU configurations. Also, very little focus on the GPU part in the CES presentations (only 3D Mark CPU scores back then) and all the talk about 59% or so higher GPU performance was very odd. Note...

1. Renoir AM4 Desktop, iGPU about as good as 2400G Vega 11 at same RAM speed. Absolutely no suprise here (11x 1250 = 13750 ~ 14000 = 8x 1750). 2 ASRock X300M-STX. X, not A

That is just P-State underclocking though. Not sure what your method brings above just doing this from BIOS, the how to of which has been discussed in this thread some time ago. I am not sure why I would want to modify power plans and install another tool when this is adjustable out of the box...
