Review on 🔧 Asus Prime A320I-K Mini ITX Motherboard: AMD Ryzen AM4, DDR4, M.2, HDMI, Gigabit LAN, USB 3.1 Gen1 by Jorge Maertz

Ok, I'll start with a negative. When connecting the front connectors, be sure to remove the memory and then insert it after connecting the front connectors. The downside, however, is that the manual doesn't include a diagram of how the feed is placed. I do this about 2-3 times a decade so I don't remember it. There is no chart in the manual but there is a QR code which once scanned will take you to a web link that will display a PDF where you then have to scroll down a few pages to find the chart. In fact, our code takes up more space in the tutorial than the diagram, so just print out the diagram instead? Okay, so it's not on the way. For a 300 series board it has great features, not least my 2nd gen CPU posted and I got into the BIOS on the first try with memory cards. And it would require a 3rd gen processor, so I should be able to fit a 5600 chip if I wanted to, with the caveat that AMD's policy would disable pcie4 for all motherboards below the 570 series. So for $100 is very nice. If I had spent the extra money on a 550 series board, I still wouldn't have Gen 4 PCIe and would have spent $50-$100 more on it. So it's still a great budget board. At least until ddr5 memory becomes an AMD thing. She has worked less than a full day with archive linux preinstalled on a 2 1/2" SATA drive and so far so good. My only warning, if you've never built with a board this small, be careful because 1 slip of a screwdriver can ruin your day. Smash the capacitor and it's over. There is a graphics card slot if you want to play this, but just make sure your case is long enough to accommodate it. I don't use it for gaming so I have an affordable Ryzen 3 3200g sitting in the CPU slot. The memory profile is on the home page of a simple bios and you can get the correct memory time in one click. Mine was 3000 but most would be 3200. If I were to buy memory for it I would buy this bootbas I had 16GB ddr4 3000 laying around he got that. built-in graphics. Previous boards I've used only allowed 2 gigabytes of system memory for graphics. 4 fan headers and 4 RGB headers along one edge which I think is more than anyone could use. And 4 more SATA ports. Who will use 4 sata ssd / hdd in the itx assembly I can not say, but they are there too. Nice to see you have more than you could ever need. It's nice to keep going. My last M-ATX build with a 300 series board had 2 fan headers and no RGB cables, just for comparison. USB 3.1 on the front was also great to see on the 300 series board. The time will show. I expect to be very satisfied. hp There is an even newer bios than the one it came with. Not a nit, just saying you should check for a bios update.
