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

Attracted by the low price, I ordered one of these and a Ryzen 3200G processor, but later found out on Gigabyte's website that only 4000 series APUs are supported and cancel the 3200G and ordered the 4650G on AliExpress as AMD decided to reserve them for OEMs only. (I assume Gigabyte had the same market in mind for this phone.) The board runs smoothly with no hiccups, and the integrated graphics work great with the Ryzen Pro. I'm not a gamer, but it can play some games too - Fallout New Vegas…

Low-end 500 chip that allows overclocking. Very good feeding phases. No problems with my 3700x. Even with dual-channel memory at 3733MHz, you can even replace the WiFi with the $20 anWiFi 6 AX200. Just make sure you have proper cooling. I have a Noctua NH-L12S that keeps the CPU at 72 degrees for 1 hour on an AIDA 64 stress test. Mileage may vary depending on air consumption. I have a RAVEN case. And support for future Ryzen 5000 processors.

The mainboard came already open, not sealed. The board-specific user manual and the CD that comes with all Gigabyte mainboards are also missing. Unfortunately I'll also have to wait for the rest of the PC parts to arrive to see if it works at all. It is totally unsatisfactory that it arrived unsealed. Who knows if it was opened somewhere on the line during the manipulation? Is it a used product? I would never know. but I definitely paid for a new one.

Let it run with 3200g, 8gb ram, mini itx in win bp655 with blu-ray burner as a small home server. The xmo profile is loaded and working properly. The voltages on the car are not too high for me, contrary to some posts on Reddit. Tried wifi first before diving head first into setting up my server with NAS, router, modem etc. Wake on Lan works if you need to know.

great price, 120, for an AMD 500 series (yes, A520I) motherboard that supports 3rd gen Ryzen processors and 5th generation can use . Has 1 fast M.2 NVMe slot, cool. GPU PCI-E x16 3.0 which is normal, PCI-e 4.0 doesn't make much difference. 2 for DDR4 3200, or you can probably overclock to 3600 safely with the right RAM. I used Scythe Big Shuriken 3 CPU Air Cooler for this setup. Perfect low cost AMD 500 series motherboard. Never had a problem with Gigabyte. My last gigabyte motherboard was the…

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…

First off, if you're like me and this is your first AMD system, this is going to be a journey. It may not be smooth. There are simply no guarantees with an AMD build. Second, it's an ITX board. It's small. In fact, I was surprised how small it really is, knowing beforehand that they are small. If it were smaller I would have issues with the old connectors on the front of my case. All in all, this was a fun little build board. The BIOS is very basic and I appreciate it considering how much I've…

I've built 4 systems with it so far. (3) with Ryzen 3600 and my own with Ryzen 5600x. The packaging clearly states that 3000g series APUs are not supported, so keep that in mind. Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth work great. It features a magnetic base antenna so it can be securely attached to your PC case. The layout of the board is subtle and simple. It features 1x 5V 3-pin ARGB connector and 1x 12V 4-pin RGB connector. If you need more, get a splitter. It also has 2 system fan headers which will…
