    Prebuilt [SFFn] ASRock's DeskMini A300 - Finally!

    Here we go, pictures of the A300W with the 25mm fan and mods required for 10TB of storage. The mods may look difficult, but they weren't, nor were they time consuming to make. Enjoy. The only visible modification is on the very bottom of the back of the motherboard tray, where a 1/4" section...

    Case mods complete, and it looks great at this point. I don't presently have two 15mm drives to mount side by side on the modified motherboard tray, but the single drive I do have mounts to both positions and goes into the case cover just fine in either position. I will have the system torn...

    Asrock got back to me about any available 15mm drive support motherboard trays, and they gave me this reply: Hi Joe, Thank you for contacting ASRock support. The 15mm thick HDD is not fit for the unit. It fits up to 0.95mm thick drive. Thanks for nothing there. So, it's mod time. I have...

    I delided the processor, removing the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) from the PCB, cleaned off the old Thermal Interface Material (TIM) from the IHS and processor, applied liquid metal TIM to both, then reglued the IHS back to the PCB. The NH-L9a heatsink is pasted to the top of the IHS with...

    Lol, I was just getting ready to reply that in regards to the delid, that I can't un-ring that bell :) In regard to the 2400g delid temps, I have detailed notes across multiple heatsinks, two different thermal pastes, stock CPU speed and overclocked CPU/GPU temps, both on the bench and mounted...

    So, I received my Deskmini A300W today and started the build process. I went ahead and used the Athlon 240GE, the 1TB NVMe that is destined for my laptop (which will free up the 512GB drive that I intend to use for this system). The HyperX RAM overclocked right up to 3200MHz via XMP with no...

    My A300W is arriving tomorrow. I have a delided Ryzen 5 2400g and an Athlon 240GE, a Noctua NH-L9a heatsink, 16GB HyperX 3200 DDR4 SODIMM, a spare 512GB SKHynix NVMe from my laptop, several spare 240GB SSD's, and a 5TB 2.5 inch drive. I haven't quite decided how I am going to build up the...
