ASRock’s X600 DeskMini – Finally – Again
- Thread starter confusis
- Start date
I looked and the H110 STX BIOS was on the Intel page, not the DeskMini page. Odd. (Although TBF the STX board was available separately, and I was seriously drooling over the aftermarket cases back then).You can send it to here:
BIOS Collection - Mini PCs
This is the r/ASRock Wiki - Here you will find a bunch of Guides and Tools. Including an FAQ, a Beta BIOS database and more!botflakes.de
There is a collection for all DeskMini's
Edit: sorry for off-topic. I submitted it using the link on that site, and a Coffee Lake modBIOS too

You're correct, but my current setup is 12vo thanks to the X300 being fine with 12V and I was really hoping to keep it that way.
Also it seems in the last few years some more options have come into market that are a smidge smaller than when I was initially looking for my current build. So maybe it'll be fine in the end.
Many factors here. If you have a 3s or 4s laptop (10.8v vs 14.4v nominal, 12.6 max, or 16.8 max). Also how low of a voltage the laptop charger needs to keep functioning. If it's a 2v gap and a max 14v solar system a 3s laptop might be OK.
I've got a NUC8 i7 here that pulls hard, 4.5ghz all core sustained. And runs 12v. And the BIOS will not let me put a GPU on the M.2 slot
. It's always something. (I'd love a belt mounted AR/VR gaming rig with Switch Joycons and my RX6400 or better, but now I have the hassle of Thunderbolt and another hot chip).I'm still waiting for the x4 x8 and x16 to MXM card adapters to get reasonable. The x1 are $20, the x16 are $100 and nothing in between. MXM cards take 19v
According to the news from yesterday AM5 will get at least 3 generations of CPUs, so 9X00G and 10X00G could be possible. But I am writing "could" because ASRock fooled people already with the A300 and refused to release BIOS versions for newer CPUs.
As an A300 owner I do feel left behind without official/stable 4x00G and 5x00G support
Has anyone used X600 memory: Kingston Fury 2x16GB 6400 mhz - KF564S38IBK2-32 ?
• Default (JEDEC): DDR5-4800 CL40-39-39 @ 1.1V
• XMP Profile #1: DDR5-6400 CL38-40-40 @ 1.35V
• XMP Profile #2: DDR5-6000 CL38-38-38 @ 1.35V
• XMP Profile #3: DDR5-5600 CL40-40-40 @ 1.1V
I'm using in my X600 that memory - If I activate XMP1-6400 or XMP2-6000 it works fine for daily tasks. However, if I try to play a game, it takes from a few seconds to a few minutes and the screen goes black - the game itself remains running. Only restart helps. If I activate XMP3-5600, the games work fine. I think the default profiles are maybe too aggressive for the X600 and that's why the picture goes black.
I'm not very up to date with OC, but I can sort of figure out how to do it in the BIOS. At this point, the question is that if someone has specific memories in use or, for example, a 5600 kit and is on OC 6400, would it be possible to get the parameters so that I could try it myself, if I approach it in such a way that I activate XMP3-5600 and then manually tweak other settings to get 6400?

the problem might be the temperature of the 2nd stick. I had the 2nd stick reach 80c before it crashed. The higher you clock or tune your memory the more sensitive it is to high temperatures. Cuz of that i modded my X600 to use a 140mm nocuta fan on top of it. Since then memory temps went down almost by 30c and i can now run my 5600c40 kingston kit at 8000.
My desk mini arrives today and I plan to purchase these sticks, I'll let you know how they go with a 8700G
What are your BIOS settings to get 8000MHz stable? Could you post a screenshot of latency settings with ZenTimings software?
Here you go. But as i said, the main problem with stability was getting the memory temperature down.
8000! That's wild!Here you go. But as i said, the main problem with stability was getting the memory temperature down.
Damn!Here you go. But as i said, the main problem with stability was getting the memory temperature down.
Can you post here your BIOS RAM settings also ? I see you use 5600 RAM sticks
Very curious how you're setting your voltages to get that, 8000 is brilliant!!
My X300 runs at 4000 and I thought that was quick

i don't set any voltages cuz there are none in the current deskmini x600 bios. I just have to load my 5600c40 1.1v JEDEC profile. The board itself scales it to 1.2v(probably for stability). More voltage would allow for tighter timings but i take what i can get. Also i had to adjust the RTT resistances cuz they went wild on auto and it was not stable at all.
did you try higher than 4000 on the x300? I could do 4200 stable on the x300. You can workaround that not working FCLK setting in the bios by setting the FCLK in the AMD overclocking menu with the help of a bootable stick containing the UniversalAMDFormBrowser.

Are you using the stock 120W psu? It gets very toasty under load no?
There is a bios bug if you chose xmp profile, you cannot make adjustment to fclk that is locked to 2000. Zen4 APU can run at least 2400 fclk for Amd recommendation. Please feedback to asrock to check this bug
Asrock standalone x600 list the compatible 180W psu in page 9 fyi.
