    ASRock P4i65GV with fake Chemicon KZE ?

    Below are KZE capacitors used in ASRock P4i65GV and ASUS P4SD-LA skt478 mobo. Same voltage and capacitance but different in height... could it be fake ? I think the darker brown and taller KZE is the genuine part.

          From KZE datasheet the standard dimension is 10mm Dia. and 25mm Height.

          Maybe the different type are "custom size" .

              most likely custom size.
              or the manufacturing process improved with time to alow same specs in a shorter can.

                  Capacitor Parameters for both KZE
                  ---------------------------------
                  ASRock KZE: at 1kHz: 1207.5uF, esr 18mOhm
                  at 10kHz: 1370.2uF, esr 15.3mOhm
                  ASUS KZE: at 1kHz: 1154.7uF, esr 15.9mOhm
                  at 10kHz: 1360.2uF, esr 13.6mOhm

                  Almost same ... perhaps it is custom made KZE.

                      ASRock N100M, no picture no boot, but semi-alive
                      by Exim
                      Hi guys,
                      I managed to semi-kill an ASRock N100M board after updating Bios from 1.10 to 2.01. It's a zombie now, dead, but not dead.

                      ASRock N100M special features:
                      - CPU soldered to board, small Intel 12th gen
                      - iGPU
                      - four POST LEDs

                      Problem after updating Bios to 2.01 using the in-Bios update tool: no picture, no boot.
                      I am not sure anymore if it booted at least once successfully after updating the bios to 2.01, maybe not, I can't remember. I think it did not.

                      Symptoms:
                      - no picture/signal on any of the display connectors,...

                      What IC does AsRock usually use to make the PWM signals for GPU fans ?
                      by MasterCap
                      I have an AsRock Taichi 7900xtx, and the minimum fan speed is way too high at 1000rpm, and thats with it's Quiet BIOS switch on, and me setting the fan profile as low as it goes, while on.

                      Now 1 thing I could do is just make some circuit to put in between the fan the the GPU, and leave the fan on all the time, but anytime the GPU is sending the PWM for min speed, I'll just send something lower and quieter.

                      But does anyone know what how AsRock usually sends the PWM to the fans on GPUs and mobo's? Is it from the MCU that's often near the 12V inputs and fan jack ? Or is...

                      BIOS .bin file for ASRock B450M Steel Legend
                      by nolaryie
                      Hi, I’m looking for a clean, working BIOS .bin dump (16MB) for the ASRock B450M Steel Legend motherboard.


                      I’ve already tried flashing the official ASRock ROM file via CH341A, but it won’t post — I believe the capsule format is incompatible.


                      Any BIOS version that supports Ryzen 5 2600 is fine (e.g., P2.30–P3.60).


                      If anyone has a working board and can dump the BIOS using CH341A or flashrom, I would really appreciate your help.


                      Thank you!

                      Full BIOS Dump for ASRock H310M-HDV Rev 1.02 (MX25L12873F)
                      by khanhtq0
                      Hello everyone,

                      I'm looking for a full BIOS dump (.bin) for the ASRock H310M-HDV Rev 1.02 motherboard. The BIOS chip is a MX25L12873F (128Mb / 16MB).

                      I’ve already tried flashing the official BIOS from ASRock (version 1.40 and 3.30), but those are Instant Flash versions and don’t include the full SPI image (e.g. Intel ME Region, Descriptor, etc.). After flashing, the board powers on only when I short PS-ON to ground, and it fails to generate Vcore and 2.5V. Other rails like 1.05V and RAM voltage are present.

                      I suspect the original Intel ME and descriptor...

                      AsRock B560 Pro4 Possible Short on +1.8VSB
                      by zklgfs
                      Hi,

                      I have an AsRock B560 Pro4 (boardview: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...pro4-schematic) that's completely dead (it doesn't even turn on the power supply when the power button is pressed or the power button pins are shorted). I do get about 3.4V on the power button pin, but 1.8VSB isn't there. The resistance to ground on the inductor PL53 is only about 0.1-0.4 Ohms. Am I correct in assuming that there must be a short...
