Review on ๐Ÿ’ป ASRock A520M-HDV Motherboard - Supports 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen and Future AMD Ryzen Processors (3000 and 4000 Series) by Steven Ferguson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheap but works

Purchased to fix RYZEN CPU, GPU and DDR4 memory issues. The board can be finicky with more powerful RYZEN 7/9 processors as there is only a 4-pin EPS connector, so the processor doesn't get enough power for full use. The memory training took a long time, but the board booted up. Suitable for troubleshooting circuit boards. You can also see that this board can be used for an inexpensive media server if you use a Ryzen 3 processor and a small chassis. Not many options in the UEFI GUI but for a board like this they do. that was expectable. In short, you can get a cheap little computer with this board, but don't expect to play AAA games.

Pros
  • Graphics output options: D-Sub, DVI-D, HDMI
Cons
  • Clarity
