@W4RR10R Thanks for the pic! Just a small note, it should be 7 instead of 6 on the lower row of the header. I'm fairly sure ECC would work like normal memory, but you would also need a processor that supports it. As far as I know, only the PRO variants of the APUs support ECC, and those...

I can confirm it works great in the Deskmini. I am using it with a 2400g. Both windows and linux picked it up without any issues. Forum doesn't seem to be allowing me to post the direct amazon link. Here is the exact title for the product: Intel Wireless-Ac 9260, 2230, 2X2 Ac+Bt, Gigabit...

Sure, that's always an option, but I'd much rather hook up to a header if possible. I'll admit I haven't used the test clips before, but they look rather finicky to me. That's pretty much what I suspected, but just thought I'd put it out there. Are you sure you got right header? Its label...

@Danlopez1222 Don't know if this is helpful, but while gathering stuff to prepare for bios flashing, I noticed that my Asrock B450M Pro4 motherboard uses the exact same IC for the bios flash. Maybe this is an indicator that the A300 and the B450M share similar functionality in the firmware?

Well, I'm down to test stuff if/when you need some test monkeys. It looks like there is a header that can be used for flashing (~.050" pitch 5x2 between the fan header and bios chip itself). Are you using this header or clipping directly to the chip?

I have one that I've been playing with for a couple weeks. My use for it is an all-in-one Proxmox server running a NAS, router, Plex, and probably some other misc services like Unifi and Pihole. I'm still experimenting, but it's been rock solid so far. I've got passthrough working for an HBA...

I'm down to pledge between $100 and $200 as well. @packratxxxnasty, the mostly black boot screen is normal, or at least it's the same for me. Different bricks will work; it just needs a 5.5x2.5 barrel jack 19V output. A few people have verified that external GPUs will work, but only when...

I need one of these myself. Any idea when they might be back in stock?

I've got a 1600 I can send your way. You are also welcome to the Asrock AB350M Pro4 it is currently sitting in if that would be helpful. Any chance of prioritizing the non-APU boot over the voltage/overclocking? I'm personally much more interested in that so we can use the more powerful...

There's also brake tubing pliers like so: https://www.eastwood.com/ew-brake-forming-tool.html They don't always give you the prettiest bends, but they come in handy when the regular style is too unwieldy or can't fit into tight spaces.

I have an Asrock B450M Pro4 and AB350M Pro4. I am using the B450 as a headless VM host with a Ryzen 1700. I'm fairly sure the B350 board will work headless as well, but I can check to make sure. Does this help in any way?

4.18 for 18.04.2, and 4.20 for Solus 4.0

Please add my name to the list of interested people. What exactly does "buying a bios" mean though? Is this finding a capable individual/company and hiring them? Or maybe something like a bug bounty?

Got any links or resources for BIOS modding? I haven't messed with BIOS stuff before, but I have some experience with microcontrollers/disassembly. I can't promise anything, but I'd love to take a look at it to see if I can maybe figure something out. I'll also do my part and send Asrock a...

The APU's need a newer linux kernel. I've tried Ubuntu 18.04.2 flavors, as well as the latest Solus 4.0 release, and they've worked fairly well. I was getting occasional GPU crashes in Kubuntu and Ubuntu MATE, though. I'm on Solus now, and haven't experienced another crash but it's only been...
