kdm Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 @bagican Are you able to advise of the BIOS changes you made to reach C10. Only reaching C3 atm. Quote Link to comment
bagican Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 (edited) @kdm yeah, I will post my BIOS settings today evening or tomorrow 🙂 Basically, I only enabled C-states and ASPM on all places where I found it. Edited March 18 by bagican 1 Quote Link to comment
Grzegorz Derebecki Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Asus Pro H610T D4-CSM support 13 and 14gen intel CPU or I need upgrade bios? If I buy i3-14100 or i3-13100 I will be able to run it with this motherboard without needing to get older cpu to upgrade bios? Edited March 20 by Grzegorz Derebecki Quote Link to comment
sunwine Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 nice setup. but besides the idle results, what could be possible power usage scenarios when running some vm's or docker container or accessing data from unraid thru the network ? Quote Link to comment
bagican Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 (edited) @Grzegorz Derebecki cześć ⚠️ My motherboard originally had BIOS Version 1402 (2022/04/02), which did not support the 13th gen Intel processors like my i3-13100. When I attempted to use the i3-13100, there was no response - no BIOS, beep codes, or any indication of functionality. To address this, I acquired a 12th gen Intel processor, the i5-12500, flashed the latest BIOS version, and then promptly returned the i5-12500 the following day. With the updated BIOS, my i3-13100 successfully started working on the motherboard. You can see factory BIOS version on the barcode - see "1402" as last number in barcode below: Spoiler and here is my passive / fanless case with 2 DIY heatpipes: Spoiler The case is from Exone. I bought it for 20 EUR with some older (10-12 years old) Intel. There was initially another CPU copper block with only 3 heatpipes. I changed it to bigger one with 6 heatpipes. I used all 3 original heatpipes (with nickel-plated) and added custom Cu heatpipes. Changing RAM modules is possible without problems. Manipulation is a bit limited due to heatpipes, but nothing terrible. Edited March 20 by bagican Quote Link to comment
Grzegorz Derebecki Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 @bagicanThanks for replay. Do you think this motherboard can be powered by normal ATX psu? I currently have one build with supermicro U1 case, Asrock J4125-ITX, and second one (identical case) is waiting for another build. I was wondering if can I use build in power supply (ATX) for this motherboard. As you say it supports 12V then it is possible it will work with some converter (because motherboard don't have standard atx12v connector). Quote Link to comment

It cannot be powered by ATX PSU directly. To obtain a 12V power source, an adapter or a DIY solution is required. My powering solution - details: Spoiler My PSU is 12V brick (150W max) from AKASA (already mentioned here) and it's output 12V provides 4-pin DIN connector: + I found adapter from 4-pin to 5.5x2.5mm connector (on Aliexpress) which I'm using it with standard male-male cable with 5.5x2.5 connectors to provide 12V to motherboard. Here is my idle power consumption graph (measured with Shelly Plus 1PM every 1 second): - not Unraid, DietPi (Debian 12) HW: MB: Asus Pro H610T D4-CSM (latest BIOS, Version 3202, 2024/03/07) CPU: Intel i3-13100 (TDP 60W) RAM: 2x Crucial 32GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM (CT32G4SFD832A) SSD: 1x m.2 Samsung 980 Pro 1TB with heatsink PSU: 12V 150W from AKASA (AK-PD150-02KEU) https://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&model=AK-PD150-02K Edited March 22 by bagican Quote Link to comment

As you say it supports 12V then it is possible it will work with some converter (because motherboard don't have standard atx12v connector). I have this same motherboard and I tested it using the molex connector from a 500w ATX PSU. The 4 pin one that would normally plug into a video card, two of the pins are the exact match for the ASUS pro board. The 12v rail is rated at 200w so I figured I would test based on Bagican advising that it worked at 12v. I can confirm that it posted so yes you should be able to use a standard ATX PSU. Would just need to modify the connector to remove two of the pins as it overlaps with one of the fan connectors. Edited March 23 by kdm more info and spelling Quote Link to comment
Vircos Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 In addition to the post above. The atx power connector is right behind the DC power connector. See the manual on the Asus website for more info and the attached screenshot. 1 Quote Link to comment
kdm Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Despite not being able to reach C10 in Powertop on Unraid, I'm idling at between 9w and 15w on the AC side with the HDD spun down. Best I can get is C8. CPU: Intel Core i3-12100 MB: ASUS Pro H610T D4-CSM Ram: Crucial 32GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM NVMe: Lexar NM790 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe SSD 2TB HDD: WD Ultrastar HC550 16TB 3.5" Enterprise PSU: Toshiba 19v 120w Laptop Brick Tried running without any drives and no better, still only C8. All components report being ASPM enabled when I run : lspci -vv | awk '/ASPM/{print $0}' RS= | grep --color -P '(^[a-z0-9:.]+|ASPM )' So I'm now stumped with how to get to C10 Quote Link to comment
bagican Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 BTW, today was released new BIOS: https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/csm/pro-h610t-d4-csm/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=Pro-H610T-D4-CSM Spoiler Version 3206 8.97 MB 2024/04/02 "Further optimized CEP settings when disabled Updating this BIOS will simultaneously update the corresponding Intel ME to version 16.1.30.2307v4. Please note after you update this BIOS, the ME version remains the updated one even if you roll back to an older BIOS later." Quote Link to comment
Jetro007 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Did you have any luck getting the power down with the new bios. I see that there are different 'updated' firmware versions, most have the intel 600 fix, but there seems to be a difference with hot swap compatibility. link I have a asm1166 incoming from aliexpress. planning on using the Pro H610T D4-CSM with 2 X16 seagate HDD and ssd for starters. I've seen you wanted to try the 92% efficient mean well, but i'm thinking more of a 15v 90W mean well GST90A. the 15v will be a bit more power hungry, but i'm hoping it will help with the initial power draw from the spinning hdd (might add more in the future) to not dip below 12V and brown out.

I think this is a very good idea! Agree. I didn't upgrade bios yet. Quote Link to comment
