Hi, the copper pads under my screws of my X300 motherboard are visible. I guess it is ok since the traces are not affected. Do you think I have to worry about the pads being visible? I didn't screw to tight in my opinion, I think the coating was to soft.

It would be weird if S3 worked. Asrock support wrote to me a few days before the release of the bios " S3 is not supported by hardware limitations. BIOS Update will not help to get it work.".

I wonder why they removed the WOL after power failure feature in the 1.80E. They could have let it be.

Thank you :). I wish hardware manufacturers had a feature, which would notify people automatically over email once select new driver / bios updates are available.

Hi I tryed download the Bios sadly the link does not work anymore. Can you reupload the Bios again please.

...looks like when I pos the linke in text the images are shown automatically ... the crack is on the 2nd picture by the way.

Hi, board rev. seems to be 1.02 with 1.70 Bios. I made a few pictures of the VRM heatsink. There is a very little crack on the left side of the pad, but Alphacool support told me it should be no problem as long as it is small. I tryed to insert the pictures, sadly I get the message that the...

Hi, I am looking for a heatsink for my DDR4 Ramsticks (Kingston Fury Impact DDR4 3200 cl20 64GB ), so far I found some copper heatsinks on ebay / amazon which can be sticked with thermal tape to the Ram. I also found CAD files of heatsinks which have more surface area and can mounted with...

Hi, I had finally time to replace the thermalpad on my deskmini. The original thermalpad on my deskmini was a soft rubber like one in my case, when I replaced it with the 1,5mm thermalpad it bend the mainboard. I got a 1mm heatpad instead, with the 1mm one the mainboard isn´t bending. I cut 2...

...I forgot about the lanes used for the two Sata drive connectors. But I guess there should be still some lanes available for an usb chip and/ or an additional m.2. which is more accessible from the outside under a lid.

The CPUs used on the X300 can have up to 24 PCIe 3.0 lanes, if both SSDs take 8 lanes together + 1 for the wifi card that makes 9 lanes all together, maybe an extra lane for the sound chip, the usb Ports on the X300 are as far as I know directly from the CPU. This circumstances leave 15 to 16...

Hi, Asrock support just confirmed over email that it is in deed 1 PCIe 3.0x lane.

Its me again, sorry for disturbing you again. I read on some places that than thinner the Thermalinterface is than better the thermal performance will be. I got it that I can use the 1,5 mm pad and it will do the job better than the stock one. Though could the results be even better with the...

Thank you for the answer 😀. Now I can use the 1,5mm pad without worring. After Asrock wrote me about the 1mm thickness i was a little unsure that the 1,5mm one could have worse thermal results than a 1mm one. I knew that it would still be better than stock, I just wanted to be sure to get the...

Hi, my 1,5mm thermalpad arrived today. And Asrock officiall support wrote to me "The size of the pad is 67 x 6 x 1 mm". Do I need to order a 1 mm pad now? How big do you think the difference will be?
