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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

All ports tested work fine

I put the itx board in a small cubic case, it fits well and all ports tested so far work fine. Built-in Wi-Fi AC: Works great, downloads at full speed and an optional magnetic mount antenna was included. .AM4 Slot: Works great with my Ryzen 3 3100, no need to update BIOS. Audio jack: Both audio and microphone work. The USB 3 port works well, the file transfer speed is normal. Fan connector: I used a 3-pin fan, so the PMW function was not tested. SATA connection: Works well even though I only have one hard drive connected. The motherboard also came with 2 SATA cables. NVME slot: This is the M key, works fine. RAM slot: I installed the CPU cooler first, which was a mistake, it partially blocked the first RAM slot, although I only need one slot, so I plug my RAM into the second. Considering the relatively low price, a good choice for an ITX board with an AM4 slot, now ASRock has a competitor.
