The photo is a bit blurry, but it seems like its missing the coupling caps on the SATA TX/RX lines, nothing that a 1-10nF cap wont fix (4 in fact)

I never had much luck with those clips, even using genuine Pomona ones. In another life when I repaired laptops, I flashed hundreds of BIOS, when Windows 8 started to become common, it would kill so many first gen UEFI laptops with corrupted BIOS.. So after 20-30 laptops that it only fully...

The chip is soldered to the motherboard, the clip will power anything that is connected to the 3.3V rail. The data, cs, rd, etc pins are also directly connected to the chipset, so you will be "forcing" voltage into all those components when using a clip.

There is only one BIOS flash chip, the other is the EC/Intel ME flash chip. You need to find good known dumps from both chips, most likely you can request them at the bad-caps and the win-raid forums and someone will have it. Then you need to desolder each chip and program then, programming in...

First page: * We have reports of problems with PCIe card detection and speed with the 01AJ902 (x8) riser so I would recommend you avoid it and use 01AJ940 instead. I was going to order a x16 riser to try out maybe a P600 and add some multi-gig NIC down the line, seems like its a bad idea then?

I was under the impression that the 01AJ940 (x16) riser was the recommended one to get. Or the x4 one is "better" compatibility wise?

What cards are you trying to use?

Above all, it's price. It lists the price of the N100 at 55$, while the U300 is 200$, you would end up with a board costing over 400$.

Where did you see that? In Portugal you can buy that for less than 250€ from various reputable distributors and with 2 years of warranty. And I'm talking about crucial ram sticks, not some no name brand.

Do you recommend any place to get one? Only find them being sold in two parts (heatsink and fan) for around 90€ :/

Hi, what heatsink PN are you running? Is it this one: 01MN631 ?

Depending on the price I may be able to buy one and test it out. Are you going to announce the boards on this topic? Sad that the m720q is more limited, oh well. Best regards.

I, I'm also running a non T CPU, in my case it's a 9700. Did you try playing with the PL1/2 values? What charger are you using? And what heatsink? I had to set my governor to power saver, or the CPU will always be running above 4GHz, with all cores over 80°C.

That's very interesting! Do you happen to know if the m720q also has those x4 PCH PCIe lanes?

The latest bios update is due to a bug in the bootlogo parser.. Use the new tool to set the logo, and respect the max size of the file. EDIT: And if anyone ever wants to know, I have upgraded my M720Q from its original i5-8500T to an i7-9700 (not T, 65W desktop model), using the stock aluminium...
