MSI A520M-A PRO Gaming Motherboard (AMD Ryzen 5000, AM4, DDR4, PCIe 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, DVI/HDMI, Micro-ATX)

I bought this about a year ago. Really good budget board. I game a lot and it's been very good to me.Types of games: overwatch 2, Marvel rivals, COD warzone and BO6, Minecraft. Depending on how heavily modded, Minecraft works pretty great. I also run a Nvidia 2060 super FE and a Ryzen 5 5500 (stock cooler), 32 gb ram.The 2060 is as high as you can go on that board (same with the Ryzen, I think).Can handle just about anything, although I did have to turn down the graphics quality on BO6 but that could be because of everything else hat I have installed. I do need to get rid of some useless junk.Great board.

I’ve been using this motherboard for two years now, and it’s been rock solid. For the price, I wasn’t expecting much, but it has completely exceeded my expectations. No issues, crashes, or failures – it just works.It handles my [CPU/GPU/RAM setup] perfectly and runs smoothly even with long gaming or work sessions. The build quality is surprisingly good for the price, and installation was easy.If you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly motherboard, this one is a no-brainer. Definitely worth it!

Worked great

Thick PCB and great deal under $70 in theory however it is very difficult to upgrade BIOS. You must use a basic AM4 (CPU 3100x or possibly Athlon) to update BIOS. Disappointed in MSI marketing, ymmv.I have a 5700X in this motherboard, 64GB of RAM and it maxes out a 3060 12GB. 1TB PNY and 2TB Samsung NVME drives have both worked well. Data transfer tops out around 3500 mb/s.PCIe 3.0 is not a bottleneck for non-AAA gaming performance however this board will not support the fastest speeds on PCIe 4.0 NVME drives.Updated this rating to 4 stars after further consideration with potential overclocking. I may add a SATA ARGB Controller for enhanced cooling. 1 A header for System Fan cooling and another 1 A header for CPU cooling are a limitation out of the box.I added a TP-Link PCIe WiFi 6 card that works well however that means additional storage must be SATA. This board could use an advanced X3D CPU with a BIOS update however it is PCIe 3.0 which will hurt with newer GPUs.

Great board no problem connecting any thing

No había leído que no era compatible con Ryzen 5 3400g pero de igual forma sirvió 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Una placa sencilla, calidad precio, apenas para ensambles sencillos, tiene todo lo necesario.

Came exactly as expected works perfectly fine
