Review on πŸ’» Gigabyte A520M S2H: AMD Ryzen AM4 MicroATX Motherboard with Advanced Features by Isaac Cahill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

WILL NOT WORK WITH OLD GENERATION RYZEN WITHOUT BIOS UPDATE! Read please!

I bought 4 of these to do a cheap VR build and meet up with friends who use this motherboard as it's inexpensive, 4 x Ryzen 5 1600 CPUs, 4 x 1050ti GPUs and 4 x Oculus Rift SI. Frustration and loss of sleep due to work because none of the motherboards will boot and they turn out not to be backwards compatible with older generation Ryzen chips without a BIOS update. Luckily I had a 3800x in my personal VR PC build and used that processor and placed it on every board so I could update the BIOS to make it work with my old Ryzen processors. You need the firmware f13. The loan belongs to Yareli r. because that's how I experienced it. work now, so I'll leave it at 5.

Pros
  • PCIe 3.0 x16 slot
Cons
  • Compatibility
