ASRock AMD Ryzen 9000/8000/7000 Series Socket AM5 DeskMini X600W Dual DDR5 6400 MHz 96GB Barebone

I love it! I was surprised at just how small it is. Works well with Ryzen 5 8500g and 32gb or ddr5 sodim.

Very tiny and if you put in a low profile noctua heatsink rather quiet.

Let me tell you this as someone who is VERY picky about my computers. This thing is AWESOME. I have it built out with a Ryzen 7 8700G APU, 32GB 5600MHZ DDR5, and a 4TB NVME. This thing is phenomenal for what it is. The only noise coming my system is the noctua Nhl9a, so it’s ridiculous quite. Build quality is excellent, and supporting triple monitors and dual NVME isn’t something you’re going to get on any AM5 ITX motherboard. This thing is the be all and end all for APU builds.Just make sure you update your firmware and BIOS.

I bought this used from someone where a client backed out of a project probably taking a restock fee anyway $180 was a deal on this kit the motherboard it really nice the bios has a lot of features just like a desktop board does has a real premium feel to it. Slapped a R5 8600g on it with 32 gigs DDr5 sodimm 6400mts CL38 ram turned on XMP and ran prime 95 and other benchmarks system is super fast and stable i am getting the performance of my main rig literally in the palm of my hand!! I mean that XMP profile is a 1.2ghz overclock for what the cpu only supports 5200mts ram. Oh the ram i am using is Kingston FURY Impact 32GB (2x16GB) 6400MT/s CL38 DDR5 SODIMM RAM KF564S38IBK2-32. I'd grab some if you can starting to look like it's going to become scarce and the prices are starting to jump. Same thing with this barebone it's becoming expensive to grab accessories for it "IE usb to front and audio to rear cable the rgb bar so on" so jump on it or wait for the next best thing!!

I had a AMD processor left over from a build and put it in this barebones PC. It works amazing and it is not like the Chinese mini's that have such limited support and low grade parts in them. I love it.
