ASRock’s X600 DeskMini – Finally – Again

Years ago, the SFF community waited with bated breath for the ASRock DeskMini A300. With AMD APU support, it offered a better balance than Intel chips between the CPU and GPU. This SFF Gem was the ideal Deskmini, and the SFF Network community rallied around it by creating custom 3D printed cases, BIOS updates, and more.
Now, the times have changed and AMD’s AM5 platform has arrived. Again, the SFF community waited. It felt like ages but ASRocks X600 DeskMini is finally here.
Asrock was kind enough to send a sample unit to Small Form Factor Network for testing and review. No review guidance was...

Because synthetic benchmarks s*cks I tried some in my game.
default ram in this runs is 6400 Mhz, even with stock TDP.
There are 2 pictures.. one for CPU test and one for GPU test.

it's strange, my whole setup is pretty basic, no overclocking, 5600mhz 1.1v memory etc (bios 4.10)

Time to leave this forum it seems.

sorry for inaccuracy, it was meant as overclocking the processor, ...but as I found out, the memory frequency has perhaps the biggest impact on system stability and currently I leave the setting on auto which means 5200MHz at 1.1V and everything runs rock solid (but in the meantime I also updated the drivers so who knows what it was)

Even with a limit of 45W

Is the bios so flexible that u just can set a 45w on say a 8700g?

Yes, you can set arbitrary limits by editing the PBO settings

Just assembled recently:
AsRock Deskmini x600, Bios 4.03
AMD Ryzen 7 8700g
Thermalright ASF Black V2 AM5
Thermalright AXP90-X47 FULL with Noctua NF-A9x14 PWM
Crucial 64GB DDR5 RAM, 5600MHz (CT2K32G56C46S5)
Crucial T500 2TB
Thermalright HR10 Pro
Intel AX200

... and so far, more than happy with it.
While assembling CPU cooler with Noctua fan was just the right fit, If it was a original fan for sure it would bent a tiny bit side panel.
When I was installing Thermalright AXP90-X47, original backplate from AMD was tinny bit challenging for the original screw tightener to be used, but was manageable.
