    I'm fiddeling with my J4205 now for a couple of weeks. So far it has been a frustrating XPEperience (SCNR) and I was about to pipe my J4205 to /dev/null.
    Anywho, today appears to be a good day - I made significant progress after downgrading the mainboard BIOS to an older version! :)

     

    Here's where I am at currently:

     

    - Loader: 1.02b (DS916+)
    - DSM: 6.1.7-15284
    (DSM_DS916+_15284.pat)
    Forget DSM 6.2.x, it's just painfully slow & unresponsive. Not even a ssh-session works fluidly. Shutdown/reboot mostly doesn't work and is slow. Onboard NIC speed sucks - UL randomly jumps from 10MB/s-90MB/s
    - Mainboard BIOS: 1.40

    The newer versions include the meltdown patches -> already slow CPU gets even slower

    Downgrade using "afudos.exe filename140.rom /GAN" if you are already on a newer BIOS version
    - BIOS Settings: 

    Disable all powermgt-options (speedstep, core package states)
    Fast mode (don't think this really matters much)

     

    Results so far:
    + SSH finally works fine
    + Onboard NIC UL & DL is rock solid @ ~110MB/s
    + System reboot works & startup speed is fine
    - VMM doesn't work for me, getting kernel panic errors when trying to start any linux-vm :-|


    Benchmarks are finally as expected:

    CPU:
    sh-4.3$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=4096 | md5sum
    4096+0 records in
    4096+0 records out
    4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 16.1171 s, 266 MB/s
     

    Basic SATA SSD-Volume:
    sh-4.3$ sudo dd bs=1M count=1024 if=/dev/zero of=/volume1/SysVOL1/Test/temp.bench conv=fdatasync
    1024+0 records in
    1024+0 records out
    1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 2.78121 s, 386 MB/s

     

    Maybe I'll  give DSM 6.2.x another try. Am just not there yet.

     

    Hope this will be of some help. ;-)

    I forgot to say that I installed the 918+, and actually the boot speed is a bit slow, but after it seems to be quite fluid, I also noticed hdd speed from 10mb to 90mb, but VMM works well with win7pro and win10ltsb, the h265 transcoding works fine on plex, but only software, and in SSH it does not notice any slowdowns.
    Mkvtoolnix and jdownloader work great.
    Can someone explain to me how to test the speed of hdd in DMS?

  2. Good evening, I assembled an AsRock j4205 with 8 GB of ram, and installed the DMS 6.2 with loader 1.04b.

    Everything works fine, only one thing I could not solve, the shutdown is not successful, I think that the system is turned off, but the power supply and the leds are still working, and I believe that even the hard drives continue to turn.

    Does anyone know how to solve?

    Thanks for the attention

  3. Buonasera a tutti, ho assemblato una AsRock j4205 con 8 GB di ram, e installato il DMS 6.2 con loader 1.04b .

    Il tutto funziona bene, solo una cosa non sono riuscito a risolvere, lo spegnimento non va a buon fine, cioè credo che si spenga il sistema, ma l'alimentatore e i led restano comunque in funzione, e credo che anche i dischi rigidi continuino a girare.

    Qualcuno sa come poter risolvere?

    Grazie per l'attenzione
