CPU [13/12/2024]ASRock DeskMini X600 BIOS "4.04" & "4.06" & "4.08" - with new AMD AGESA ComboAM5Pi v."1.2.0.2a" & DDR5 SO-DIMM Voltage Settings available

[game9370]

hello everyone! thanks to a comment from HydrAxx747 that I came across on reddit I went down the rabbit hole of running a more powerful cpu on a deskmini board. the current idea is running a 9800x3d with some UV mainly for gaming and, when not home (so without an egpu attached via oculink), use the mini pc for media consumption and documents consultation.
I'm still tangled up in the 9800x3d shortage but that should get solved in the upcoming days, so now I'm left with some first setup questions. which is the newest bios version that is worth update to? I haven't turned my machine on yet but I suppose I can't be on anything past the 4.03.
regarding ram, I've acquired a 2x16 6400 kingston fury kit, I suppose speed and timing wise it goes the same as with normal dimm ram, so 6000mhz with tightest timings, correct? has anyone recommendations for an ideal starting point? i guess 6000@cl32 could work, but I haven't got a clue about secondary timings.
for anyone that has been running this board with a non-listed cpu for awhile, do I have to worry about early wear of components? I was thinking of stressing the board without extensive mods in order to highlight any issue (too extreme temps for mosfet's, ram or ssd perhaps) and see what I can improve on. I'd like to keep the stock case but if deep cooling mods are needed then I'll build one myself.

quick recap of components:
deskmini x600
9800x3d
2x16 6400Mhz Kingston Fury
4tb 990pro in the slot on the underside
m.2 to oculink adapter over the wifi card
ax210 wifi/bt card

If you are not using an IGPU i would not bother to much with tightening timings....If you see videos in youtube the minimal gains are not worth the trouble.The IGPU that this processor has its only for basic things or very old games,should be just 2cus if im not mistaken.There is also a chance that you will need a bigger power brick than the 120 one to run it as intended.If you still want to give a try with timing tho,you can simple see the previews pages and you will get a clue as to what you need to do.As for the bios you simply go to asrock x600 deskmini page and get the latest one available,you most likely need it in order to use the 9800x3D.As for cooling,even the best low profile one (that fits) Thermalright AXP90-X47 Full wont be easy to cool this one inside this small case...
