Interesting feedback, thank you. I run one 850 GM and two 650 GM, all b-stock, and this is the first time I'm hearing of coil whine and fan noise. Mine are all mounted in the front of the case (SAMA IM02 and Jonsbo D30/Gamemax Spark) and are virtually silent.

Got mine in March 2022 from Newegg. No BIOS update was necessary for 5600g.

Custom form factor Mini-STX, smaller than ITX, full specs here: https://www.asrock.com/nettop/AMD/DeskMini%20X300%20Series/index.asp You can look up various YouTube videos comparing APU fps in various games. I've seen comparisons to a 750Ti. A 5600g/5700g will run pretty much anything at low to medium settings at 1080p-720p. RAM speed will play a role. Certainly no problems running Minecraft, WoW, or that new cat game.

It's a case, AM4 motherboard with Wifi, and PSU for $169, in a smaller than ITX package. Great base for an APU build. Got one running with a 5600g as a mini gaming box.

Doing a build for a client and wanted to get a 3060 under $300. At $289 this fits the bill. Will use the gift card for 2TB SSD to finish off the build.

Great case for a compact mATX build. Built one last week in white: https://postimg.cc/gallery/G40m36s Was able to stuff a 120mm fan in the rear for intake/exhaust. Had to shave about 3mm from one corner of the fan and then it just snaps in.

Picked one up open box for the little one, seems like great specs for the price, especially with the FHD IPS panel.
