    Congrats on getting your contact at ASRock to actually follow through on this. As you pointed out, the non-gaming aspects saw only minor changes, but the better usage of the igpu is significant, and makes the 8700G look better.

      @@Robtech Hi, I am receiving my DeskMini X600 soon, do you have any feedback on this new BIOS? Sorry to ask the question like that unprepared but there is unfortunately too little feedback on the DeskMini X600 (while on the Deskmini not what was missing) and last thing: In the "Advanced Tab" part of the BIOS, have you tried pressing the key combination "CTRL+Q"? if it works like on the DeskMini X300, then a significant number of Additional options (various voltages and other OC settings) should appear in this "Advanced Tab".

    Guys, im still owning the Deskmini X300, 3 times i asked for help to asrock support with different issues, the 3 times they just assisted me IN AN AMAZING way, in case of a RMA for a component they inmediately send it at my address, not enough words to praise this brand. ASUS should learn of them, and stop letting down their users. Long life ASROCK! :) technical support!

    Did you ever take a look with an IR thermal sensor at the VRM temps? The older models were notable for running the VRM on borderline meltdown temps (AM4 gen).

    @dlewis9760 Місяць тому +1

    Can't help believe that the PR flack wouldn't have sent the issues up to engineering, regardless of you bringing to his/her attention. It's their job to monitor reviews and determine if criticism (if any) is justified. It's nice you retested to show that they pay attention. The companies that completely ignore issues are companies that should also be ignored.

    You should have bought the x600 deskmeet. Ok, it's bigger but still sff and can rock a 4060ti 16g if you want. What you think Rob? Too big for the hole? I have myself a NUC11 Enthousiast, timespy around 6400. iGPU's are still far away from dGPU's. I estimate we need some real tech improvements aka 5 years minimum. Enjoy your vids though🍺

    If anyone else (like me) coming here trying to figure out why the "instant flash" option was greyed out in bios (like mine did), try to change your memory speed to 4800 or 5600 to ungrey the option.. hope that helps

    that using same ram speed (5600) as before? what would be the optimal ram speed for deskmini? or is the 5600 fastest in sodimm form?

    • @rodolfovalle2547
      @rodolfovalle2547 Місяць тому +1

      There is a Kingston Fury 6400 ram

    • @Robtech
      @Robtech  Місяць тому +1

      The optimal would be the fastest possible as the iGPU is memory bandwidth starved either way. You can set the speed in the BIOS, but depends on what the memory can handle. The sticks I used hold up fine at 6000, but crash when gaming at 6400.

  • @EffectualPoet

    1. Released far later than promised.
    2. The total system cost is prohibitive relative to pre-built mini PCs.
    3. Mini PC's can achieve the same performance (including integrated graphics) for half the TDP.
    4. Poor motherboard thermal management.
    5. Given #4 above and the wattage limit of the board, installing the 8700g will yield almost no benefit over the 8600g.
    6. Deskminis seem to always be largely dependent on BIOS version, but you never know which version your unit will ship with.
    7. They're still using the poor quality rear screws that are too short and easy to strip.
    8. They removed the front ventilation. Why?
    9. The Asrock web site lists only 2 compatible CPU coolers, one being the expensive Noctua. I am sure there are a few others that are compatible, but a bummer we have to do trial and error.
