Hey everyone, I built my X300 with a 5700G a little while ago and I intend to use it as a small proxmox home server. I downclocked and undervolted it a bit using amdctl so I don't run the risk of it running too hot with the eye on stability and longevity. I was wondering, it's running BIOS 1.70 right now, anyone knows if newer BIOSes fix anything or add to stability?

Does S3 work with the newest BIOS or should I stay on 1.80E?
No sorry the "S3" function only works on the Beta BIOS "L1.80E" and on the following versions it no longer works, and do not wait for a more recent version with the functional "S3" because according to this that ASRock support told me by email, they are abandoning the idea of succeeding in making it functional in the BIOS which will follow because this will create other problems elsewhere on other functions apparently, this is also why reason that they maintain the mention "DeskMini X300 Series don't support S3 function" on the official product page.

Hello,
I registered because I found this via googles search. I also own a DeskMini X300 with 16 GB RAM and a Rayzen 5600G and and found a possible problem with the BIOS: Whenever I change anything within the BIOS (e.G. I set the fan speed to custom) the VDDCR-SOC voltage raises to 1.15v. Normally it should swicth between ~0.85v when idle and ~1.1v when the gfx runs at full speed. After this I can do whatever I want, the voltage never returns to 0.85v. So I have to reset the BIOS via CLEAR CMOS and never ever open and save something within the BIOS again. Can anyone confirm this with his DeskMini X300?
