Motherboard [08/10/2024]ASRock DeskMini A/X300 BIOS / "P1.82.SL01"(support S3 OK!!!) & final "P1.90" for X300 /"P3.70E" for A300 - AGESA Combo V2 PI "1.2.0.Cc"

[Hammerfest]

I know that of course but what does that change to what I said? They haven't updated the BIOS for ages and I don't think that will magically change with the arrival of the AGESA 1.2.0.Cc firmware, so frankly and sincerely don't expect much from there, that's all I said and I don't think I'm really wrong about it.

"upgrading it to AGESA 1.2.0.Cc firmware would certainly open the way to compatibility with Ryzen 4xxxG and 5xxxG APUs but would reveal other bugs later"
Seeing as its the same board, this statement would be incorrect, and what I pointed out with my statement, so it would change what you said because its a literal overclocking yes/no flag prompted by that 1 extra component that has no actual logic

thanks for latest bios 1.82 !!

I no longer have Secure Boot enabled in Windows11 after applying this update (eventhough it is enabled in the UEFI); I tried clearing the keys and multiple reboots; but no luck so far.

Secure Boot ok with everyone else ?

ASRock has provided the latest 1.90 version of the BIOS. Has anyone tested whether it supports S3 sleep?

Thanks for the news, but I think that if it is not notified in the BIOS changelog "1.90" then no the S3 Sleep is not supported, moreover it is still indicated in the specifications of the DeskMini X300 on its official page so..., but maybe they can release a compatible variant, you should ask ASRock Support what is going on and if it is still feasible (I think so).

hello, am looking at the x300 or the x600.

from a bios perspective is the x600 more stable? or x300 totally fine?

x300 is EoL and ASRock plans to stop updating BIOS for it even with AMD continuing to support/update the AM4 family.

Stability is but a minor issue, but on my Deskmeet x300 its been rock solid and while its not like the A300/X300 Deskmini which are basically clones, it shares enough design schematic that its not given me a problem, but I would not want to invest into a platform thats EoL and soon to be abandoned.

thank you, have ordered the x600. your reasoning on bios updates etc make sense! another reason i realised, is I already have another am5 system, 7900 ryzen 12 core, plus some ram available, so sort of complimentary. some man maths there, but the good thing with such maths is that is always adds up and says it is a wise 'ínvestment'
