Reserved will be adding information here for this device and help and support how to use and do things on it that are not so obvious and the basic and advanced setup checks.
Will be updating this threw the days and adding all information required to get it up and going without issues and making sure all settings are set to use the full device fully.
Keep an eye on this thread and please ask anything here regarding this device, so not to mess up the legion go and asus ally threads.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION !
QUICK NOTE FOR PEOPLE BUYING A NEW ANTEC CORE HS, THERE IS NO NEED TO UPDATE THE BIOS OR ANY FIRMWARE OUT OF THE BOX AS IT IS RUNNING THE LATEST VERSIONS. INFORMATION BELOW TO WHERE TO GET THESE BIOS/FIRMWARE UPDATES IS ONLY THERE IF AND WHEN THEY UPDATE ANYTHING. SO STEP WITH CARE AS SOME USERS ARE CAUSING ISSUES DOING SUCH THINGS.
After doing the Windows updates, where do you get all the driver updates? Does AyaSpace cover all that?
Windows update will grab most of everything that needs updating then after all the windows updates will be many, go into AyaSpace and click look for updates (Hold down the AyaSpace button to get to the full AyaSpace menu not the side menu only with one click) and it will do the rest anything that maybe missing can be found at also here :-
Drivers and BIOS and firmware updates here from Antec :- https://www.antec.com/product/download-system.php
Or you can go to Ayaneo and get the drivers and AyaSpace updates there too.
Select the windows consoles then Ayaneo Slide (Antec Core HS is a Ayaneo Slide rebranded) option and will show all updates available :-
https://ayaneo.com/support/download
MAKE SURE to read the README files on how to install them inside the folders if needed, so far didn't need anything as all was most recent for BIOS, Firmware and Drivers.
For AyaSpace updates click AyaSpace option. Or you can update Ayaspace inside AyaSpace and it will also find other updates needed.
Latest AMD drivers for the Ryzen 7 7840U can be found here too :-
https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/7000-series/amd-ryzen-7-7840u.html
Or you can go into AMD drivers and click update inside the Adrenalin application and it will update to latest version.
Just make sure first thing you do after doing the windows setup stuff when switching on to go to windows update and do all the updates and check after each restart for more updates until fully updated and no more updates available, then update AyaSpace inside it and go from there really should be fine after that if windows update picked up the latest drivers and AyaSpace updated to version 2.5.
How to get into the BIOS?
1- Make sure the unit is shut down in windows / powered completely off.
2- Slide open the screen to access the keyboard, then hold function FN key and F2 at same time and click the power button to start the device up while holding FN key and clicking F2.
3- You will see a box with boot options and BIOS settings option, move down with arrow keys on keyboard and click enter for BIOS settings option.
4- You are now in the BIOS.
How to change the RAM speed to 7500Mhz from the standard 6400Mhz in the BIOS ?
1- Go to - Advanced > AMD CBS > umc common options > LPDDR timing configuration.
2. UMC COMMON OPTION > LPDDR OPTION > LPDDR TIMING CONFIGURATION, (Scroll down and Accept the warning), then ACTIVE Memory Timing (Needs to be set to ENABLED) then Maximum Memory Data Clock speed change to 7500MHz.
How to change VRAM size in BIOS ?
1. Go to - Advanced > AMD CBS > NBIO Common Options > GFX Configuration > UMA Frame Buffer Size
2. Change the VRAM size you need (default is 6GB), I set mine to 8GB so leaves 24GB for system RAM. (Can set to max VRAM of 16GB via the BIOS)
How to change VRAM size with AyaSpace ?
1- Open AyaSpace holding down the AyaSpace button to access the full AyaSpace not the side bar.
2- Go to Device in the left hand window options and inside that area you can set the VRAM size you need and will need to restart windows to take. (Can set to max VRAM of 14GB via the AyaSpace in 1GB steps)
Any changes in the BIOS need to be saved and the device restarted to take.
Still being worked on !!!!
