Review on πŸ–₯️ ASUS PRIME A320M-K Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI VGA M.2 USB 3.1 Micro-ATX Motherboard with AMD by Marco Wilson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

ASUS falsely advertises that Ryzen 5 processors are supported by this motherboard

If you buy a modern Ryzen processor for this motherboard, you will be sad that it is not supported by default. There is no mention of it on this Revain page or on the ASUS support page. The only way to fix this problem is to update the BIOS, which is only possible if you're using a 1st gen Ryzen processor at all. If you don't, you literally can't use the motherboard. They have a complicated solution that requires you to contact AMD and ask for an "AMD boot kit" that consists only of a flash drive, a BIOS update, and an old used CPU. It takes weeks and it's absurd. Don't buy this board if you don't have an old 1st gen Ryzen processor.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Not reliable
