Or that's a Picture you found over the Internet ? Given it's written B450D4U-V1L then I guess it's an Internet Picture but thought I would ask to be sure ...

It is a B450D4U-V1LQ5, same as everyone else in this thread bought. The image is of my own board. I don't make the sticker on the board, that's just what ASRock labelled it.

As I said in my previous reply, I would like access to the PCIe configuration in BIOS to test my hardware modifications (addition of PCIe x1, x8, and M2 socket).

For those Interested, since I usually use the Silverstone ML03 Chassis and the Noctua NH-L12 S1 Ghost Edition (which was VERY cheap on Amazon, now it's not being sold anymore since a few Days) does NOT fit (and Noctua claims that the Noctua NH-L12S fits, but that is like 60 EUR used on Amazon.de), I gave the Thermalright AXP120-X67 a Chance.

Test fit at least it's NOT touching the VRM Heatsink. The RAM should fit (not tested yet, nowadays I only do a mechanical Test Fit before even attempting to go further, this Board seems CURSED):

So yeah ... Noctua NH-L12 S1 Ghost Edition would have been cheaper (used on Amazon, refurbished by Noctua) but well, that does NOT fit anyway, so I guess this Thermalright AXP120-X67 is the best (probably after the Noctua NH-L12S which is approx. twice the Price) that still fits in this Chassis / Pseudo-2U Format that will cool a Ryzen CPU well enough.

AX41's with the 3000 & 5000 CPU's at Hetzner is available from the 'Auctions' section only as these systems are kind of 'EOL' in their terms. From an operation and financial risk perspective, I can't imagine Hetzner would offer ECC environments not functioning as advertised .... because of this 100 Million EUR database that may ....

Hetzner lost customer data and gave 20€ as compensation

Hetzner Online GmbH, a German cloud services provider, told some customers this week that their data had been irreversibly lost and were provided a 20€ compensation in online credit.

What type are those vents that fit into plastic holders that came with the board? Isn't it option?

Thought I'd share an interesting observation.
Ordered another 2 boards, a week or so ago, just before the stock dried up.

I received 2 boards, and this time, there was a USB3 cable included.
my existing boards are all Ryzen 3000 series cpu now.

I still had a Ryzen 2600x left for testing etc. gave one of the boards a spin up.
  • No video, but boards seems to be posting looking at the debug led activity.
  • keyboard and mouse on the built-in USB3 port : not working
  • used the provided usb3 cable, that worked.
  • had to add a PCIE gpu (old MSI passive cooled thing), to get video posting on screen
This reminded me of LuckyLinux adventures.


was thinking, let's update to bios 2.12 on the Ryzen 2600x, flashed ok, but after rebooting, board gets stuck on b0 (reseat cpu or ram), tried 3 differents dimms. nothing, was convinced i bricked one board. I tried the second last board, left the bios as is (2.09), same story gpu and usb3 cable required in order to do anything, but more or less functional board.

this evening tried a ryzen 3100 cpu on the board i thought i bricked, and connected the vga monitor to the onboard adapter, removed the gpu, left out the usb3 cable and connected keyboard to the onboard usb3 port, and guess what: it boots fine, video posts, keyboard words and easily installed proxmox from a netboot.xyz environment.

lessons learned: ryzen 3000 series are the sweet spot for these boards

They said that LATEST (and I think ONLY L2.12, although possibly also L2.11 is affected ?) BIOS only supported AMD Series 3000/5000 CPUs: https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...ack-b450d4u-v1lq5-matx-am4.47305/#post-461607

But yeah, that USB/VGA are an absolute PITA on Ryzen 2000 Series CPUs !

I did NOT test the rear Ports with BIOS L2.12 and AMD Ryzen 5700X though ...

By the Way, it's NOT dried up. There are still at least 2x12 + 30 on eBay for sale if you want more :cool:

I know images is a PITA on this Forum, you might need to reduce by 50% Resolution or something. I cannot read your Mind [un]fortunately :cool:. Maybe put it on imgur like I did or link to a Google Image or something

How easy was it to solder the PCIe Slots and M.2 Connectors ?

M.2 I'd say almost easier but more precision/steady Hand and lots of Flux required.

The PCIe Slot on the other Hand ... did you use a Hot Air Reflow Station ? Or did you just wicked/sucked out all of the Solder by Heating with a soldering Iron, inserted the PCIe Holder through Hole Pins, then soldered these one by one from the Back ?

I feel like I'd like to add the Beeper/Buzzer but I think somebody posted a message saying that it's not even connected at all (like even if we solder the Pads on the PCB to a buzzer, it won't work). Seems weird to me though ... That should be like a 0.2 EUR Component or something, what a PITA that's not included on all Boards.

Aaah you want to put an AMD Stock Cooler with those Plastic Holders that sit on the Motherboard ?

Well ... they are NOT delivered with this Motherboard (unless I missed a Bag in the Package or something, possibly where the I/O Shields are).

I guess that since this is a custom Server Motherboard (as opposed to a consumer Motherboard), then don't deliver those.

And most Aftermarket Coolers (Noctua, Thermalright, probably many more such as BeQuiet etc) will have their own Mounting Kit anyways.

You just have 4 threaded Holes. Then similar Screws to what it's used with these Plastic Holders (same Thread, probably slightly different Length and Head Shape) are inserted through the Metal Part delivered by the OEM, with some Plastic Standoff to set the required Spacing from the Motherboard (matching the height/spacing provided by those AMD Plastic Holders)

I didn't check in detail but I guess there's not much you cannot find on Aliexpress so probably some Article like this e.g. search amd am4 bracket (check in more Detail):

Thing is, I have these black plastics, they came with boards. There must be cheap compatible cooler that will definitely fit I believe. Had something similar on older sockets.

I also got USB and audio cables, but only 5 for 12 board unfortunately :-(

I didn't check to see if I had any cable at all. For sure NOT in the 2 Motherboards I pulled out of the Box. But knowing how I'm "lucky", they will come out with the last Motherboard I pull out, I'm sure of it o_O .

Cheap Good. Pick one ...

The Noctua NH-L9x65 (doesn't even Fit according to Noctua Support) and Similar will struggle with a 8 Core CPU ...

30 EUR for that Thermalright isn't a bad Deal IMHO if you don't mind it being White. I didn't want to pay extra for Black since in Forced Air Cooling (Forced Convection) the Color of the Cooler (Black is better for Radiation) shouldn't matter too Much

The Thermalright should be better than this one for sure (search: amd stock cooler, but probably amd am4 cooler would also work):

Don't tempt me too I think I'll also go for another set of 12 and I'll need 22 more CPUs too if I do that o_O

But I should have most of the RAM, looking at the positive Side :p

30 EUR is more I'm willing to give considering I need 12 pieces. This is more like price tag I'd like:
