silentbogo BTW, they've managed to cram-in one more M.2 slot, which is beyond real.

silentbogo Yep, the platform is cool and chill. One of their selling points was the ability to fit a stock box heatsink. My H110 worked fine with Intel cooling solutions, Deepcool HTPC200 (rated at 95W dissipation), and even Noctua NH-L9i. Though, I'm still using the latter one in my primary PC at home, but tested in H110 anyway. Most APUs (bristol ridge, or the newer Athlons) for sAM4 come with a variation on sFM2 small cooling solution(~50mm height), or in case of Ryzen 3/5 G - it's Wraith stealth, which is also under 60mm tall.

There are two factors that allowed them to do this. Both factors actually stem from the fact that this product is using the A300 "chipset". Which really means, it has not chipset, and it directly connecting everything to the processor. This means, one, because there is no chipset on the board, it frees up some space to add a second M.2 slot. Second, because there is no chipset connected to the processor, that frees up the extra x4 PCI-E lanes that would normally be used to connect the chipset to the CPU, so those lanes can be used for other devices like the second M.2 slot.Hey, a fellow Deskmini H110 owner! I'll agree, the stock Intel cooler works just fine in the Deskmini H110. In my case, it is working as my living room HTPC with a Pentium G4600 and running as cool and quiet as can be with the Intel stock cooler. I'm also, like you, waiting for a decent i7 to come down in price so I can upgrade it to a quad-core.To be honest, I was actually just looking to buy the DeskMini H310 this last weekend, like I had it in my Amazon cart about to check out, but then for some reason decided not to. I'm so glad that I didn't buy it, because the AM4 DeskMini appeals to me so much more because of the added GPU horsepower of the APUs. I like to run emulators on my HTPC, and that is one thing the Deskmini H110 is really lacking in. It runs everything up through the PS1/Saturn/N64 era just fine, but anything past that really start to struggle. I really can't wait to get an AM4 Deskmini now!(Sorry if I'm rambling because I'm excited.)The only thing that worries me is the cooler. The stock Wraith Stealth that comes with the 2200G and 2400G is 54mm tall, but according to AsRock the Am4 DeskMini can only handle coolers up to 45mm tall. Which is kind of a bummer, because that means there will be an extra cost with buying a decent low profile cooler, which ain't cheap. I'll probably end up going with the Noctua NH-L9a, which is about $40. It might not seem like a lot, but when you're putting it on a processor that only cost $100, it's a pretty big chunk...I also hope they bundle a WiFi card with it, like they did with the other models. Right now it looks like they might not, but this is just a display unit, so the retail version might include it.
