AMD Ryzen 7 4750GE and Radeon 7700XT FreeBSD Build: A Tight Squeeze
AMD Based FreeBSD Desktop Reloaded
A FreeBSD enthusiast upgrades his AMD-based desktop, moving to a Silverstone SG13 Mini-ITX case with an AMD Ryzen 7 4750GE (35W TDP) and a Radeon 7700XT. The GPU barely fits, requiring careful cutting of its plastic shroud and bracket. The system runs FreeBSD with the XLibre X11 server and the amdgpu driver, achieving a 25% CPU and 40-60% GPU performance boost over the previous build. The article also details fixing a missing Bluetooth firmware error by installing the iwmbt-firmware package.
I found funny that the GPU name was Challenger and it was REALLY challenging to fit it into the case.
