Option 1: Get a ch341a bios programmer (can be found on amazon or aliexpress) clipping it on a the physical bios chip and using the asprogrammer or ch341a software to flash the latest bios file. (the tool that can force any bios) Option 2: find a shop/friends that has the tools to reflash the...

that the wrong bios. Bios for deskmini is located here: https://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20B660%20Series/index.asp#BIOS instructions: https://www.asrock.com/support/BIOSIG.asp?cat=BIOS9

I thought about it, even found the name and part number... just need to learn a little bit of kicad to make it happen. Molex EXTreme LPHPower Receptacle Header (both available through mouser and digikey) Horizontal: 45984-4343 Vertical: 46114-4241

Honestly both should be amazing! If you're buying the AXP90-X47 make sure to buy 17xx bracket, not sure if they updated packaging to have it included

None of the pictures in your current post are visible, seem to have broken links. Website issue ?

No problem. Honestly they are both great cooler and temp differences will be minimal. It might have a slight edge for surface area and the copper variant might run a little bit cooler.

Performance wise the b660 with i5 13500 will be faster, single score will be close but multithread will be about 40% faster. As for cooling the i5 13500 will run a little hotter by design using it with the stock cooler, a good replacement cooler would be the Thermalright AXP-90 X47.

Completely agree with you, Different cooler and case would definity required. Now to peak everyone interest 100w can be surpass but require a different PSU and undervolting can be enable via a bios-mod. A user by name of "ren" from computerbase.de forum explain the process and test it too...

Seem like this board has potential but the vrm / power limit seem to be the issue. Although i would be interrested running it with i5-13600(K), watercooling it might be the answer for the cpu / vrm. I also do wonder if a higher wattage psu could be used? NEWS: A user was able to test i7-13700k...

I have thought about it but not sure of the best solution. Small 40mm fans could help or custom vrm heatsink ? If anyone has some better ideas let me know

"This really crazy and cool at the same time" Exact feeling I have every time I look this project or do research regarding it. As for the use case will be used for music production, video editing, vm/proxmox and networking many more. A learning platform for anything like to get into / fool...
