Extreme Motherboard model? (Responded)

Post by Aulddood »

I know this was probably already talked about on the Kickstarter campaign but what was the actual mother board and chip that was installed in the extreme. I wanted to see if I could get a copy of the manual. I know that the CPU model number is J6412 but there are a few different models with that number. Any ideas ?

I would like to know too. The BIOS reports "Default String" and so does every other tool.

I even sent them an email Mini-ITX.com was it? I asked them this question but no reply so far.

The BIOS has an amazing number of options, feels like it's almost unlocked. I tried doing some research but can't find anything yet.
Edit: Also, the bios is branded American Megatrends, which is odd. Normally the image branding would be the Board Maker, not the
Bios Provider, so, they didn't provision anything. I'm not complaining, it's just something of note. End of edit.

It had dawned on me that nothing ever advertised the MB, only the CPU and Video, mine being an i9-9880H with a Nvidia GTX 1650
I put 64 GB of ram and 2 TB SDD and 2 TB NvMe, it comes with Bluetooth and Wifi, And the bluetooth is pretty strong too, I carried the speaker across the house and it didn't loose connection. It boots lightning fast, It's a darn good system. And I have no idea who made it.

A friend and I were talking about this and we think its a custom build. Prerifractic from Retro Recopies opened his, and the video card didn't look like what you see for a standard GTX 1650. I've not opened mine, I'm not that brave yet. (Let sleeping hamsters lay.) But what he showed in that video and where the video ports are situated makes me think they are soldered together more akin to a laptop. So, there's no upgrade options, it's what it will always be.

Does your back fan blow in or out? Mine is configured to draw air in the back and blow it out front, is that the way its supposed to be?

I can ask our Chinese partners for a manual for the motherboard.
Be back soon
