One nice thing about X-series is that they don't have any chipset. All USB, PCIe, SATA ports are straight from the CPU, similar to mobile boards. This allows for additional power savings, especially at idle.

I literally ordered the x600 and parts less than 24 hours ago. This video will come in handy when I build mine. Thanks!

I love ASrock. This mini DIYish desktops are so awesome. This is the first AM5 version they have come out with isn’t it? I remember the AM4 version like 5 or 6 years ago. I’ve been waiting on them to come out with an AM5 version but I’m waiting for RDNA4 APU’s one day, so now I know they finally came out with something with a current socket.

Hi ETA Prime, I have been a silent follower for many years and really enjoy all your content. I always recommend your channel to friends and family looking to build small form factor systems. I will love to a see a comparison video of the Minis Forum Elite Mini UM890, Minis Forum EM780, the new ROG NUC and finally this new Desk Mini X600. I believe a comparison of their size, gaming capacity and price will be unique as each system offers almost similar specs on paper. It will be interesting to see a head to head video for people considering any of these. Thank you and warm regards from 🇳🇬

How do u like it, I’m building one for my father n law. He only uses it for a tax software during tax season and KZread. I ordered both the 8700g and 8600g how do u like the performance of the 8600g?

Love the little builds

lot of ssd connections, thats really important. nice plattform

I like to see the budget builds that utilize Linux based os.

Loved my A300 with a 2400g. Did the job just fine. This definitely has my attention.

Ok... I'm kind of surprised for the price it can handle 4 drives and come with the cables needed to use them and not rely on having to go elsewhere to get them a particular length. I feel like this competes well with wanting to get this instead of the Odroid H3+ that I had my eye on for a gift.

Its better to wait for the AMD-Zen5 APU (Strix-Halo). GPU-Power like the RTX 4070 (40 cu) and the max powerconsumption are only 160W.

I used to have an X300 one with a Ryzen 4750G. I used the amd stealth cooler with tthe shroud removed, but ultimately upgraded to the Noctua L9a, or something like that. That was a mighty little beast. I remeber playing Space Marine 1 on my 4k TV at full ress high with full frames, which was a lot of fun. It was also a nice portable PC when i had to travel about. Only thing i noticed was that after a few hours of gaming , the whole case would get hot, because the motherboard passed the heat on to the rest of the case through the integrated standoffs. At least i think that's what happened. CPU and other temps were necer a problem and the noctua cooler was quiet, despite the load.

My friend, I raised the speed of Ramat from Bius and now the device does not show a picture, it just works and rotates its fan, but it does not show a picture.

The Deskmini 110 was my first mini pc. I used it for work daily until I had to get a laptop. Since then it's in use as my Plex server at home. Really great form factor, it's worth the investment for the upgradability.

I've got an x300 mini and a Deskmeet x300. My fave PC kits so far!

I've had a DeskMIni X300 since launch and they are great little PCs. I use mine as a HTPC/Plex server and it works really well. Running a 5500GT.

hoping to see you add an oculink port to this bad boy, Ive added an egpu to my x300 and its awesome!

I've been waiting for this. My current desktop system is the Deskmini X300. There's a high probability I'll upgrade to this at some point.

you're a natural in front of the camera, so smooth!

The upcoming DeskMeet X600 looks far more interesting, $28 more than the DeskMini X600 currently is (After $10 rebate), but it has a normal PSU and an x16 slot for a GPU.

Interesting. I hope ASRock bring another DeskMeet with Zen 5 support.

I have the older H310 variant of the Deskmini, makes for an awesome Plex server. I threw an old 8700k in it, runs on barely any wattage. I think these new models will really shine once people start upgrading this generation of AM5 and have extra chips to throw in a build like this.

bro that is kinda sick it's like a docked steamdeck/rog ally or whatever

Can you use a 7800x3d CPU and add occulink adapter instead of 2 m.2s? If this thing is compatible with a 7800x3d I think I would be able to build the most powerful tiny PC with a home made EGPU oculink enclosure I'm working on

undervolt could make that cpu hold turbo frequency a little bit better, thats why I have undervolted r7 5800x3D with nh d15 and with undervolt I got better performance than on default volts. so there is only chance to get better performance or instability while undervolting too much with bad piece of silicon

I have the x300 predecessor to this one and it is awesome.

9:59 man, I surely love these tiny builds newest feature: Title

Have you tried updating the BIOS? I saw another video about the asrock mini x600, and they got a nice bump in performance with the latest BIOS. Great video btw.

I might actually save up to this! Thanks for the amazing review (like always) 🎉😊

Hey, you should try the deskmeet version. You can add gpus to the deskmeet version

can you try an oculink setup with this? i just want to see whether it is janky or not

Ok now make this 3 inches taller with an x16 slot so you can throw a low pro 4060 in here and bump up the power brick to 350 watts , then we be jammin !

@Luagsch @trthib if they just made the x600 with an external power brick, just to keep a smaller footprint. I like the idea of an external laptop brick for these 4-5 liter cases

So, this X600 does not have a one click Ram setting in bios, like EXPO?

I've become a big fan of Asrock. I have the AM4 version of their Deskmeet with an RX 6600 GPU, and it's my 1080p gaming rig.

I love this form factor. I've got a DeskMini 310 with an i7-8700 and an X300 with a 5700G and an M.2-OCuLink port to an external GPU. I don't understand why the only USB header is 2.0--can we get USB 3.0 headers in the next generation ASRock?

Perfect little lan box.

Would have been good to see how tight the fit was with an extra M.2 and two SSDs on the rear of the motherboard. 👍

@cosminmilitaru9920

13 күн бұрын

They fit very well, the SATA SSDs mount inside on the chassis and the back M.2 is on the back of the mobo. You can see others did this with the X300, this is the same design, they reused to not have additional costs.

is it worth the upgrade from 5600g to 8600/8700g? price to performance

Will usbc monitor work?

That 6400 kit in the video is the Kingston 6400c38 kit? I wonder why it has Micron chips on it.

not enough usb but Asrock made sure we've got that vitally important VGA port. thank goodness for that VGA port in 2024.

That cooler seems like straight from the FX era, cursed times.

This one is the best thing ever

This would be a KILLER NAS+plex box

Can you maybe do second video with egpu setup

How about using a 7800x3d with an egpu on the m2 slot?

If ever possible. i'd want to see the following. x600 motherboard with same internals BUT In a S4Tiny running a gpu like the sparkle arc 380 single slot card and somehow getting a powersupply thrown into it so it's brickless. I have been looking at the APU's for a super long time and wanting to see a build like this little to no modding with off the shelf parts would be sick.

It needs a 150W PSU to be safe, especially if you maxed it with drives etc..

I'm surprised you didn't try if the Noctua L9 would have fit in there

They should provide atleast 180-200w psu. 120w psu is not looking good to me

Not a producer, but I have been buddies with some of them, this setup has 32 gigs of high speed RAM and music production eats RAM for breakfast, I think you'll be fine with this little monster as you work machine!

this would be the perfect Bazzite box

Actually, the 8700G also embeds an NPU….it would be therefore interesting to top up the max amount of RAM handled by the iGPU and do some inference test with a few LLMs to see how the APU+NPU perform with it. I suspect this would also require some liquid cooling as the heat to dissipate would increase (sustained heat for prolonged time).

Would a hot ssd under the sodimm slots not be ideal ?

No fan of Asrock,, but Im in love with this mini pc

Surprised no one mentions this is the exact size of an ATX Power Supply. AMD Stock Stealth cooler is best cheap/no-cost cooler - not 14$ like in the video lol - you can get aftermarket coolers from 15-20$; the one in the box from ASRock is too smol and very loud. The DeskMini X300's HDMI was plagued with problems and kept disconnecting for me and some others I found while googling, I had to use a DisplayPort->HDMI adapter; the DisplayPort worked well.

Anyone knows if the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 fan would work with this?🤔🤔

USB4 or something would have been nice but still neat. I am waiting for the new stuff.

Can u put an rgb fan in it also?

Love the idea for this but it defo needs to have the choice to add a graphics card I've still got my 2060 super lying around, so buy this add all the other bits and connect the card Boom a great little machine

I built the identical x300 desk mini with the AMD 3400 APU. It worked out good as aa Linux machine. But be aware that the optional USB hub is very difficult to install and won't fit with larger coolers. I had no choice but to use the wraith stealth.

even just one USB-C with alt DP support would have been nice

Excited when they show this product on the previous years Computex. I thought AMD would releas a 16 Core G series CPU, paired with this you'd have a portable workstation(ish) desktop.

it doesn't have gpu slot. dang bro! It would be a good product to purchase if it had.

Can you test it with an egpu

Once these mini desktops can start playing games better than my Rog Ally I might start caring. Spending damn near triple it for the same performance

Finally a successor to the X300! Please note that Ryzen 7000 series and 8000 (G) series can benefit from a (much) bigger CPU cooler, unless you want to run your CPU in Eco mode...
