AMD BC-250 Lemmy communities? (lemmy.zip)

Hey everyone!

Has anyone come across any good Lemmy communities for BC-250 Linux gaming builds?

I got my board yesterday and need to sort out PSU, cooling and modding like unlocking the CUs. I don’t have a 3D printer, so I could do with a good place to ask for advice. I can check Reddit for some stuff, but I don’t have an account to post questions.

I’m also open to any tutorials (web/video) or even Discord communities etc. If anyone here has built one or has prior knowledge, I’d love to get your input.

I’d also include…

The 40 CU unlock is a lottery, you could get a damaged unit and not be able to reach that many compute units.

That's the very reason of this board's existence though. Initially it's a binned APU that is not supposed to pass QC for the 36 CUs required for the PS5, as a way to recycle silicon that should have ended in a landfill. The only guarantee is that 24 CUs work.

I'm not sure the massive increase in power and cooling requirements vs. stock is worth it in a mid-range gaming situation, as the performance uplift is not as impressive.
