ASRock’s DeskMini line of computers are compact PCs that look more like traditional tower computers than 4×4 NUC-style systems. But at just 155 x 155 x 80mm (6.1″ x 6.1″ X 3.1″), the new ASRock DeskMini B760 has a volume of just 1.92 liters, which makes it pretty small compared with most desktops, but more versatile than many mini PCs thanks to an LGA1700 socket that lets you pick your own Intel processor.
The company says the DeskMini B760 supports up to 65-watt 12th or 13th-gen processors, which means you could theoretically configure the little computer with an Intel Core i9-13900 chip.
ASRock has been working on the DeskMini B760 for a while – it was first spotted on the Eurasian Economic Commission website in December, 2022, along with several other new computers including a DeskMini X600 with support for AMD Ryzen 7000 processors.
Now ASRock has posted an official product page for the DeskMini B760 (but not the X600), giving us a better look at the specs for the company’s latest Intel-powered mini PC.
Under the hood, the system features two SODIMM slots for up to a total of 64GB of DDR4-3200 memory, and multiple storage options, including:
- 1 x M.2 PCIe Gen 5 x4 slot
- 1 x M.2 PCIe Gen 4 x4 slot
- 2 x 2.5″ drive bays for hard drives or SSDs
There’s also an M.2 E-Key connector for an optional Intel AX210 or AC3168 wireless card, an aluminum heatsink, a fan for active cooling, and optional support for an RGB light strep that attaches to the case magnetically.
Ports include:
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x DisplayPort 1.4
- 1 x VGA
- 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbps w/DisplayPort Alt Mode)
- 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
- 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
- 2 x USB 2.0 Type-A
- 1 x RJ45 (2.5 GbE Ethernet w/RTL8125BG controller)
- 1 x 3.5mm combo audio jack
- 1 x 3.5mm mic input
- 1 x DC power input
The system is also small enough to support an optional VESA mount kit that lets you attach the PC to a wall or the back of a display.
ASRock hasn’t announced pricing for the DeskMini B760 yet, but the previous-gen DeskMini B660 currently sells for around $200.

Hopefully the Deskmeet x600 will not be far behind.
These products often don’t compete well with some of the smaller Mini-ITX cases on the market, but this one is actually pretty good.
The specs say that is has 47mm of CPU cooler height clearance, which is pretty good at this size.
Compare that to the LZMod DC-M1, which is a 1.9L Mini-ITX case, which only offer 36mm of CPU cooler clearance.
This offers more options for small-form-factor CPU coolers, like the popular Noctua NH-L9i-17xx.
Can you throw a GPU in there? I want something smaller form factor but I gotta have a GPU (doesn’t need to be top of the line though)
Nope, and the USB-C port probably isn’t fast enough for an external one either.
Guh, thanks for the info. Side from some of the Intel/asus nucs and minisforum, it seems like there are very few small computers that can support GPUs 🙁
