Base Frequency Boost?

It's overclocking, presumably for non-k series CPUs by adjusting the base clock frequency instead of the multiplier. For reference, ASRock's page on it.

Unless you know what you're doing and have adequate cooling to support I'd leave it alone.

I was looking in my BIOS to figure out why my RAM was running at 2400mhz and found this option. Should I enable it and if so, what should I set it to? It has a lot of options from 65w to 125w.

The limit of your ram is 2666 on that motherboard with that CPU, so you can manually set that. 

 

As for base frequency boost, I think that might be one of the CPU boosting cheats that got implemented to speed up locked intel CPUs (I don't think it works that well)

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

I have a stock cooler and 1 case fan for cooling so I don't think my cooling would be able to handle it. I guess I'll leave it off and maybe change it once I get better cooling

I'd just leave it alone regardless of cooling. Base clock OC can get strange as many things run based off the base clock frequency and it can have unintended side effects.
