ASRock DESKMINI X300W AMD X300 mini PC Barebone AMD AM4 Socket W/O CPU HDMI,DisplayPort, D-Sub Gigabit LAN 155 x 155 x 80 mm (1.92L)

Pros: Amazingly small and compact. Has more storage options then my previous matx case, which sounds crazy. Able to overclock with better cooling.

Cons: No gen 2 usb
Ok ventilation
Included cooler sucks

Overall Review: Wish it had a gen2 usb but the fastest is 3.2 gen 1. The included cpu cooler is not that great. I switched it out for a noctua NH-L9a which is so much better. Though it comes with an NF-A9x14 which is great but the case can fit up to a A9x25 which I switched to and made a decent difference. I wish there was more ventilation. The case has space for some small fans that would be great an exhaust but it relies only on the one cpu fan to do the work for the intake and exhaust though lots of hot air gets traoped in the case due to this. There is an extra fan hub so I modded the case to fit a noctua NF-A4x10 and now I have no issues at at. Also go with higher clocked memory you'll be able to get almost 24% more performance along with a Cpu OC. I set it to auto OC in ryzen master and it works great.

Pros: Two NVMe slots. There's enough clearance on the bottom for a NVMe with a slim heat sink.

Cons: To run Zen3 (5700G) you have to mail it to Asrock to get flashed, but first you need to fill out all their RMA forms. Hopefully their next model will have the button for CPU-less flashing. AMD would only send me their loaner CPU if I could prove that Asrock refused to service my mobo. When I got the case back, it had white thermal compound smeared on several surfaces.

Overall Review: I have to say, I love this thing w/ 5700G + Win11
