A Closer Look

The front of the system is all black and classy with an appearance similar to brushed aluminium. ASRock offers 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port and 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port along with a headphone and microphone jack as your front I/O options. Turning to the left side you will find a large opening for airflow above where the CPU cooler will sit along with blanks that can be removed giving you the option to add a couple of USB ports.


On the back you of the DeskMini X600 you will find 1x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, 1x DC power jack, 1x D-Sub, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1, and for networking a single 2.5 GbE port. While the unit does support Wi-Fi it requires you to add your own M.2 Key E 2230 module. Meanwhile, the right side has an area for a VESA mount that is not included either.


Looking at the top and bottom it is a simple affair. The top has a large vented opening for airflow while the bottom is solid metal.


To power the system, ASRock is including a 120 watt FSP power brick.


Finally, to fully set the system up I am using 2x 16 GB (32 GB total) of Kingston Fury Impact DDR5 5600 MHz SODIMM memory, a 1 TB Western Digital SN770 M.2 NVMe SSD, and of course the main star of the show will be AMD's Ryzen 5 8600G.
