What is the ASRock DeskMeet
The ASRock DeskMeet is an 8 liter barebone that fits a full desktop CPU and a dual slot graphics card up to 200 mm length. The integrated 500 W PSU and a maximum CPU cooler height of 54 mm make it ideal for compact gaming, creator, and office builds that still need PCIe graphics, four DIMM slots, and multiple drives.

DeskMeet X600 GPU compatibility – rules and overview
Ground rules
- Maximum 2 slot width and 200 mm length
- Keep the 500 W PSU in mind, prefer compact dual fan designs
- Modern cards like RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti often run PCIe 4.0 x8, which is fine in practice
- Always check length, slot width, and power connectors before buying

Tip
- Many series have multiple lengths. Look for Mini, ITX, Aero, Pegasus, Solo, Compact, or StormX. These are often under 200 mm.
- 2.5 slot or 3 slot cards do not fit.
CPU coolers up to 54 mm height
Low profile top down coolers work best below 54 mm. There are proven models for AM5, AM4, and LGA1700.
| Cooler | Height | Sockets | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noctua NH-L9a bzw. NH-L9i (*) | about 37 mm | AM5, AM4, LGA1700 variants | very quiet when tuned for 65 W |
| Thermalright AXP90-X47 (*) | about 47 mm | AM5, AM4, LGA1700 kits | a bit more thermal headroom |
| ID-COOLING IS-47-XT (*) | about 47 mm | AM5, AM4, LGA1700 | strong value |
| Cryorig C7 (*) | about 47 mm | AM4, LGA115x, some kits | compact, higher rpm possible |
Notes
- For AM5 use the correct mounting hardware and spacers
- A clean fan curve and quality thermal paste help tame boost spikes
- The top panel usually accepts a 120 mm fan, which improves exhaust and lowers CPU and GPU temperatures
Memory, storage, and connectivity
- X600 uses DDR5 and offers one M.2 Gen5 x4 plus one M.2 Gen4 x4. True Gen5 speed requires a suitable Ryzen CPU
- B760 and B660 use DDR4 and typically provide two M.2 Gen4 x4 slots plus three SATA ports
- X300 provides DDR4, one M.2 Gen3 x4, and two SATA ports
- X600 has 2.5G LAN, the Intel variants generally have 1G
Practical build tips
Thermals
- Plan airflow bottom to top, add a 120 mm top fan
- Set moderate power limits. An RTX 4060 or 4060 Ti with a slightly reduced power target is much quieter
- Keep cables short and tidy so the GPU fans can breathe
M.2 strategy
- Put OS and projects on the faster SSD, move large libraries to the second drive
Memory
- Easiest route is a matched kit. Use EXPO or XMP profiles
Power supply
- The 500 W PSU is sufficient for 65 W CPUs and compact GPUs up to about 200 W. Check PCIe power plugs and consider angled adapters if space is tight
Which model fits your use case
- DeskMeet X600
You want AM5, DDR5, 2.5G LAN, PCIe 4.0 x16, and optional Gen5 SSD - DeskMeet B760 or B660
You plan a solid Intel build with DDR4 and widely available budget parts - DeskMeet X300
You reuse AM4 hardware or want a low cost and versatile base with broad CPU support
FAQ
Do 2.5 slot or 3 slot GPUs fit
No, the chassis supports two slots only.
How loud is the DeskMeet under load
With a good top down cooler, an optional 120 mm top fan, and moderate power limits, you can build a quiet system.
Does PCIe 4.0 x16 on the X600 help if many GPUs run at x8
In 1080p and 1440p the difference is small. Clock speeds, power limits, cooling, and airflow matter more.
Can I use a 120 mm AIO
Compact 120 mm radiators can fit depending on revision and total height. In practice, low profile air coolers are simpler and often quieter.
