What's the correct way to install these BIOS on an A300? Do I need a bios flasher or can I flash via USB? I want to upgrade to a 5600GT on my A300.

Which sucks because there's nothing stopping you from connecting a GPU over one of the two m.2, as demonstrated by plenty projects on this forum.

It's a 400W flex PSU, rated for 600W they just left some margin. You can put whatever expansion you want, PCIe network card with POE, Why not? They went to the trouble to point out it's a standard mini ITX format and standard flex PSU, so why wouldn't a consumer expect standard parts. Airflow...

I appreciate what they're trying to do, keeping the mini ITX form factor and all, but: No PCIe power on the PSU for expansion 24 pin and CPU power cables are very short because of their specific motherboard's layout, you'd need an extension at least for a regular motherboard's CPU power Same...

There's no backplate on these boards so they bend if you over-tighten the screws.

Is there any way we can get a bios that supports non-APU processors on the [A,X]300? These would be amazing with an X3D chip.

People on this forum have tested 12V power supplies successfully (myself included)

Just to confirm, this bios (3.70E) adds 5xxxG support on the A300??

Nope, this group buy / crowdfund never came to fruition.

Because my old laptop had 4930MX and a 980M both overclocked with custom cooling. Then I thought the A300 only worked with 19V bricks so my plan was to use one of these and a splitter to power an eGPU. In the end I want with an internal dGPU.

There's the Dellianware 330W bricks. I've got two (don't ask why). They're 19.5V.

Currently have a 2400G running at stock so 65W. Ram runs at 3200 all day long. Gaming is with a dGPU so not sure how useful that would be. The power brick. The system.

I've got a 12V 400W brick for my deskmini A300. Anything from 12V to 19V will work on it (though officially only 19V). I don't see why the Jupiter would be any different.

If you "brick" your A300, there's a 5 euro chip reader/writer that you can use to flash the old bios back onto the chip.

An nvme on the top m.2 (above Wi-Fi card) of the board should be fine, it'll get indirect cooling from the CPU cooler. On the bottom side it can get a little toasty but there's no space for a heatsink. You could maybe get a chonky thermal pad or a metal shim and a smaller thermal pad to make...
