Review on GIGABYTE A520I AC Motherboard (rev. 1.x) by Tawan Nuyok ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I used this board in assembly with Ryzen 3 3100 and RX 570 in a 4.4L case. Didn't dig into the BIOS. Most of all I was pleased with the quality of the WiFi adapter. On a 5 GHz network, the speed keeps stable, close to the one declared by the provider, packet losses are minimal, perhaps not even related to wireless data transfer. Antenna location is critical. At first I put it directly on the system unit, but, apparently, it interferes with signal transmission: there was a low speed and significant packet loss. When placing the antenna at a sufficient distance from the computer, the connection quality improved and became almost perfect.

Pros
  • Small size. High quality WiFi adapter.
Cons
  • You can pick on the design. The price is much higher than that of analogs of the microATX format, although this is the norm for such boards.
