@TomHC81 Check the SMART values of your drive. It may be dying

Definitely not, SMART clear, and working fine with 3.60N . Also worked fine via SATA-USB3 adapter.

[dimtsef]

Does anyone have the new bios that supports Renoir? It doesn't look like it's up on asrock's site anymore :'(

@Apotessar where did you buy the CPU from?

A300M-STX Beta Bios roms

Good evening,
I bought Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G32C16S4B 3200 MHz but in "cpuz" it says 2666 despite the XMP enabled in the bios (3.70).
In the bios and windows it is indicated 3200mhz, it is a bug of "CpuZ"?
Do I have anything more to do in the bios other than activate the XMP?

What does the memory tab say...?

There you go, it's running at 3200. 1600 (1599.1 but who's counting) multiplied by two =3200.

Oh okay ! It's nice! =D
Thank you haha =D

I have a 2500u r5, do you think I can put a better ryzen or that's the max i can use?

 

[yuusou]

I believe you mean the 2400G?
There's always the 3400G, the 4650G or the 4750G, but you don't seem entirely comfortable with this, so I'd recommend you stick with your 2400G or at most upgrade to the 3400G.

yeah sorry it's a 2400U ^^

"There's always the 3400G, the 4650G or the 4750G, but you don't seem entirely comfortable with this" what do you mean by that?

 

[Feynek]

hm 2400G I wanted to say ='D

Is there any way to use ECC RAM on the DeskMini A300 or X300 yet?

You were struggling to realize whether your RAM was configured properly. The 4650G and 4750G requires a beta BIOS and have stability issues with RAM speeds requiring quite a bit of tinkering. They can also on occasion draw more power than that the little power brick is rated for. With all that in mind, I wouldn't recommend going beyond the 3400G on your A300.

Hello, I have experienced similar behavior on tight timings. It was reporting in cpu-z 1500MHz which is ×2 = 3000MHz, had in the BIOS 3200MHz instead thou.

I described a bit of it here:

Prebuilt - [SFFn] ASRock's DeskMini A300 - Finally!

have found the solution go to : AMI | Power - Manage - Secure | BIOS ⁄ UEFI Utilities Search the AMI Firmware Update (AFU) entry Klick on the Aptio_V Entery and you Download the Aptio_V_AMI_Firmware_Update_Utility.zip from there. Extract the files . Go to directory : AMI AFU for Aptio...

salut! =)

Ah okay i understand. It's that complicated to configure with this kind of apu? in reality it does not matter as long as I have someone to guide me in the setting because i've never "oc" =p
For consumption, I do not know what had the basic barbone but it is a psu of 400w in 6pin with an "amp" (?) That we see on the video glued/stuck to the rig. Shouldn't it?

sorry for my poor english, i need to use google translate some time.

 

[Feynek]

I post you that there =)

hm we see nothing, i cropped the picture, it's sharper suddenly ^^

ps: sorry for multipost... dont hit me! ='D
