Hello!
I have a question about the AMD CBS configuration menu. As mentioned in Chapter 4.4.6 in the manual, there should be a possibility to change the cTDP. The X300 was delivered with the newest v1.4 Bios but this function is missing.

A Ryzen 4650G CPU is used. I want to throttle down to 35W for heat reduction.

I appreciate your help.

Sincerly

Steffen

I'm also interested in this. Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 Renoir can generate a lot of heat. There is an option for setting TDP with the Deskmini A300. In fact a whole lot of menues (AMD CBS) which are suitable for limiting power consumption are unfortunately missing with the Deskmini X300. Please bring back these settings!

Thanks

Felix

The solution is to contact asrock support for a beta Bios.

V 1.46 support the cTDP setting.

You can find the setting under the OC Tweaker\SMU Common Options
