ASRock DeskMini A300 Review

Small form-factor (SFF) machines have emerged as a major growth segment in the desktop PC market. Performance per watt is an important metric for such systems, and Intel has pretty much been the only game in town for such computers, given that AMD platforms prior to the launch of Ryzen could barely compete on that metric. The NUC (UCFF) and mini-STX (5x5) were introduced by Intel as the standard motherboard sizes for the SFF market, and we have previously seen AMD-based NUC-like platforms (namely, the Zotac ZBOX CA320 nano back in 2014, and the Compulab fitlet-XA10-LAN in 2016).

Not to be left out entirely, however, AMDs vendors are finally starting to dip their toes back in to the mini-PC market with Ryzen-based systems. Earlier this year, ASRock became the first vendor to announce an AMD-based mini-STX system - the DeskMini A300. So for todays review were delving deep into the performance and features of the DeskMini A300, and seeing how it stacks up against other contemporary SFF PCs.

MSI GeForce GTX 1650 Aero ITX OC Review

Small-form-factor done right. Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1650 heralds the new Turing architecture in its most price-conscious form. Cards based on this TU117 die retail from $148 (£138), which is some way below the $219 (£199) asking fee for the next level up, the GTX 1660. But as our benchmarks have already shown, performance, at this price point, is middling at FHD and mediocre at QHD. The main reasons are a combination of savage architecture cuts and the presence of the older, price-comparable Radeon RX 570 GPU that's plain faster.

But still, GTX 1650 has merit for those that want an energy-efficient GPU able to fit into a wide range of systems. Quoted with a 75W TDP, it can run without additional power cables, so we see it as a small, unobstrusive graphics primed for SFF PCs. This is exactly how MSI views the GPU, especially in Aero form.

MSI GeForce GTX 1650 GAMING X 4G Review

NVIDIA really silently launched the GeForce GTX 1650 a few days ago, the first graphics card launch that I can remember (if not ever) that didn't see reviewers have pre-release drivers.
