I am providing a modified bios for the BKHD BK-NAS-N5105 board based on the bios available at this address: BKHD N5105 1338-NAS
The modification concerns the inclusion of hidden options and does not change the default values. Uploading the BIOS and changing the discovered parameters is at your own risk.
I tried upload modded bios here but this forum doesn't allow me to upload too large file. So I added it by wetransfer but it will be no active too long:

Hi all,
I have a similar board but with J6413 CPU. Have 2 x 16GB RAM modules from Samsung installed , and it works just fine. I'm not sure why I initially decided to get J6413 instead of N6005, but seeing how RAM is an issue for some people here, maybe I made the right choice
At the same time, the seems to take quite a bit of time to load; after I press <Del> to enter BIOS, I need to wait maybe a minute until it loads.
Now I want to try to update BIOS to see if that fixes anything, but wondering if I should make a "backup" first and how to do that, just in case something goes wrong and I want to revert.
Also wondering if there's a way to boot from USB directly, instead of always seeing the BIOS screen first. In my case, when I power on the machine, I always see the BIOS logo and need to enter BIOS first, then select "discard and exit" after which it will boot to available device (in my case USB). There's probably an options for that in the settings, but I can't find it yet
Any advice?
Thanks

I installed your modded bios on this BKHD motherboard, but I can't seem to find an ASPM section among unlocked features. In fact, I really don't see any difference from the factory 208 image, other than R209 showing up on the post splash screen. I would expect ASPM to maybe appear in Chipset -> PCI Express Configuration, but it contains these 7 entries: PCIE X2 Port (PCIE Root Port0), PCIE X1 to SATA (PCIE Root Port2), PCIE X1 SSD (PCIE Root Port3), PCIE LAN1, PCIE LAN2, PCIE LAN3, PCIE LAN4. All accept either enable or disable, nothing else. I also checked in Advanced -> Power & Performance, but nothing stands out relating to ASPM.
Am I missing something? Any suggestions?
Hi netpolorian,
I put a copy on my onedrive storage - here's a download URL and an md5sum:

I'll leave it there for a little while, but I'm not sure how useful it's going to be. I just don't see any unlocked features, so I'm considering going back to the stock factory firmware. If you figure this out, please post here with whatever you did to get the unlocked stuff. Thanks.

It is true, in the xoxer`s bios, the hidden options are not present. I don't know if it is something we are doing wrong or it is simply the unmodified bios.
My motherboard is this exact one: BKHD N5105 1338-NAS BKIPC
Try this mod from jit-01010 in the Unraid forum, is working in my board:
forums.unraid.net
Another thing i have done, is to update the ASM1166 chipset, installing windows.
Without updating the ASM1166 chipset, entering some options resets the motherboard.
In any case, even deactivating the turbo boost as indicated, I still cannot get further than the C3 state. I have consumption of 24w without discs

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my little 2-bay entry level QNAP, which is ace and uses hardly any electricity (but was expensive to buy) to something with a bit more capacity and flexibility. I've put together a test rig from old PC bits and a trial Unraid license, and I like what I see, so I'm going...

I have few BKHD N5105 boards. Looks identical boards
Copule of boards need to have jit-01010 bios mod for ASPM to show up.
Couple of boards needs xoxer bios mod for ASPM to work.
I almost gave up after couple of months scratching my heads trying to figure up why ASPM won't show up.
My notes:
April 2024
BKHD N5105 board , 2 x 8gb ram , USB 32gb card
Unraid 6.12.4 with BIOS mod enabled ASPM
powertop --auto-tune , idle 11-12w C8
Innovation 4 bay case with N5105 , 120mm fan
Unraid 6.12.4 ASPM enabled , C8
1 512gb nvme
4 HD , all spin down 18w
1 HD spin up 21w
2 HD spin up 26w
3 HD spin up 36w
