    Motherboard Group Buy/Crowdfunded Modded BIOS for the Asrock A300m (Deskmini A300)

    Unfortunately the deskmeet doesn't solve my old problem. I needed a smaller than itx board specifically mstx like the deskminis, the deskmeet is bigger its deep itx. Fortunately, I no longer have my problem as my pc setup goals have changed and I've already started working on it.

    News ASRock DeskMini B660: A LGA1700 barebone with PCIe 5.0 SSD, USB 3.2 Gen2×2 and DDR4

    Other Petition Asrock to bring Ryzen 4000/5000 support to both the Deskmini A/X300s

    With the announcement of "new" ryzen 4000 and 5000 APUs and a few monolithic CPUs using APU dies with disabled iGPUs. With findings from another thread we have confirmed what we essentially knew. that the A and X300 are identical except for the specific rom on the "knoll activator" chip, a that...

    The pinout is in this thread, somewhere closer to the beginning.

    Motherboard Intel NUC 12 Extreme, a socketed NUC.

    gen 3 x4 tbh isn't that bad, currently using a A300 stx with an m.2 adapter, its just fine. Gen 3/4 x4 is equivalent to gen 1.1/2 x16. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-pci-express-scaling/27.html

    Motherboard Intel NUC 12 Extreme, a socketed NUC.

    Intel realeased some info on the new nuc extreme, its socketed. PCIe motherboards are a form factor I could get behind. Maybe another board manufacturer puts out AM5 version, or maybe both intel and amd with a higher than 65 watt tdp...

    Motherboard Group Buy/Crowdfunded Modded BIOS for the Asrock A300m (Deskmini A300)

    We may not need to wait that long, with AMDs 3D stacking tech, they could put massive amounts of cache on die, to kinda bandaid the lower bandwidth of ddr5 to gddr6, infinity cache on the rx6000 cards does a pretty good job with a smaller memory bus compared to the larger busses on the...

    GPU PCIe 4.0/5.0 x16 GPU Riser Card with Retimer

    http://www.adt.link/product/R33V5.html Its a gen4/5 riser that appears to have some kind of retimer/redriver. I've personally had good experience with their gen3 m.2 to pcie adapters and 16x extensions.

    Honestly am5 apus could be amazing, the possibility of an 8 core zen 3D or zen4 cpu with some decent sized rdna 2+ igpu would be a beast. Effortless AAA 1080p high/ultra 60+fps, roughly current gen consoles in a single package, maybe even non competitive 1440p or 4k gaming.

    It Would be nice, I honestly think we're gonna have to wait for am5 before and new support on the amd side, as iirc 5000g don't have gen4 pcie anyway.

    Risking my hardware has always been on the table, I've flashed bioses on with a flashcat I could no doubt recover it that way too. And if I brick it in the process I could justify the purchase of an x300. Some of my workloads have begun to utilize multicore much better and games also have too...

    My build uses a dgpu, I started this thread in attempt to use non supported cpus as to not be bottlenecked by the at the time 2/3400g, there is a decent amount of reward in it, and I'd rather a zen3 apu that I currently can find for $30-50 usd less than the corresponding zen2 apu

    Does anyone have the a link for the beta bioses, the one have have doesnt seem to have them anymore, and did we ever figure out if 5x00g worked on the a300, I really would like to not buy an new motherboard.

    Enclosure Looking for very small enclosure&mb (am4)

    The deskmini or other mstx kits are the smallest socketed amd mb, but asrock makes a 4x4 nuc sized pc with any of the 4000 laptop apus including the 4300u.

    News Asrock Deskmini X300

    An alternate solution, from someone here on an A300 thread, was to just plug in a large usb drive (32+gb) or any USB powered device. Not so pretty but effective from what others have said.
