ASROCK DeskMeet X300 PC taille 8L Noir AMD X300 Emplacement AM4

Perfekt um Desktop PC‘s mit kleinen Formfaktor aufzubauen. Dank des Erweiterten Slots lassen sich auch noch eine Graka oder anderes einbauen. Qualität ist super und einfach aufzubauen ist es auch.

Perfekt barebone att bygga proxmox-kluster av för hemmabruk. Ryzen 5 PRO 5650G, 128GB ECC, Noctua fläktar, 2 SATA SSD, 1 NVME SSD, Intel X520DA 10Gbit ger en tyst och fin maxad klusternod på 8L som är stabil och dessutom tyst trots kontinuerlig last.

Great little box and pretty cheap when you consider you get 3 main pc parts for around £200 in a small form factor.

This deserves more detailed review, but I suppose one can find one on youtube and elsewhere. So, I'll point out the only issue - cooling works better than one would expect, but one fan blowing the hot air out will improve things a lot - even a small one, like 40mm. With a good CPU fan (Noctua preferably) it cools down fast, but when put under long term load it is not enough and the temps will go uncomfortably high (how much will depend on the video card) - not fatally high, but very close. Some throttling can be expected from time to time - again this will depend on the video and the specific load, especially if you want to reach the maximum potential of the system. The volume is small and the included power supply sucks cold air from outside (unlike most), but a little more help to get rid of the hot air will change the performance drastically. Being small the case will require very little help there - that is why I believe even 40mm fan will likely be enough and I'll try to come up with an idea how to put one.As for everything else - good motherboard - 128 GB RAM potential, practical IO (if you want a lot from the latest stuff you will probably lack it, but for practical purposes I think the choice ASRock made is absolutely fine. The M.2 PCIe is PCIe3 which can be somewhat limiting, but consider the heat again and having even faster SSD may prove ineffective. Vide cards that fit are not that many, but enough can be found. Still a 2-3 cm longer case will make it compatible with a lot more - this probably deserves some thought for the next models of this kind.Well, as I said - nothing to really complain about except some option to exhaust some of the heat when video card is mounted and everything else is filled up to the rim. There is enough space for this and not much is required.

After stress testing my new build (Deskmeet X300 + Ryzen 5700G + RTX 4060 Ti + Noctua NH-L9) with OCCT, I had to limit my CPU's PPT to 60W and slightly undervolt because CPU Tdie was reaching 90°C+ (throttling) with default PPT at 88W.Multithread performance in Cinebench 2024 decreased by about 6% (because core boost was lower due to lower PPT) but temperature decreased by about 10°C. GPU temperature was about 80°C.It would have been a good SFF case if I were able to use a better CPU cooler (bigger aircooler or AIO watercooler).Despite this slight performance decrease, any better SFF case + PSU + motherboard combo would have been way more expensive. And it's quite rare to get 8 built-in USB Type-A (4x front I/O and 4x rear I/O).Included motherboard is not standard. Its form factor is Deep mini-ITX.Included PSU is custom (shorter cables and reverse fan) so if I want to have a bigger CPU aircooler (as tall as Noctua NH-L12S), I would have to buy a SFX PSU and mod it to get a reverse fan (airflow was designed like that), which is not possible for everyone.Next time, I will buy Meshlicious case because it's vertical and AIO watercooling compatible (and support for larger GPU).
