Review on Gigabyte A520I AC: Advanced Mini-ITX Motherboard for Gaming with AMD Ryzen AM4, Direct 6 Phases Digital PWM, and Enhanced Connectivity by Gregory Plump

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First check the list of compatible processors

Attracted by the low price, I ordered one of these and a Ryzen 3200G processor, but later found out on Gigabyte's website that only 4000 series APUs are supported and cancel the 3200G and ordered the 4650G on AliExpress as AMD decided to reserve them for OEMs only. (I assume Gigabyte had the same market in mind for this phone.) The board runs smoothly with no hiccups, and the integrated graphics work great with the Ryzen Pro. I'm not a gamer, but it can play some games too - Fallout New Vegas looks pretty playable at 2560x1440. Uses a Noctua NH-L9a cooler and an InWin Chopin housing for a very compact design.
