ASUS Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI DVI-D VGA M.2 USB 3.1 PS/2 Micro-ATX Motherboard (PRIME A320M-A)

Ram speed on this board can go up to around 3200mhz and you can do a small little graphics-cardless gaming pc with an igpu on a respectible budget (like amd 5700g processor). Favorite part is the M.2 Nvme ssd port, hard to come by budget boards that support it, and even though you're limited to pcie 3 speeds its still a good upgrade over sata and reduces the necessary footprint of the system overall. Someone wanting a more modern budget build and keep it low profile could have their cake and eat it too!very nice, pretty in depth bios with OC tools and if you want raw gaming power, can snag an amd X series processor alongside some beefy graphics card, I ended up pairing it with the A2000 in my rig given the matx SFF size constraint of the case. All at a palatable price per part.

I remember back in the day when putting a CPU in gave me as much anxiety as disarming a bomb. I slid that bugger in no problem and the latch came down easy and smooth. I started exclaiming to my wife about how impressed I was with how stable the latch was because it goes down easy, but is so sturdy I could hold the board by that alone and it wouldn't come undone. My only wish is that it had that fancy RGB nonsense on it, but I didn't order it for that. It's a solid and cheap board.

Built system with 256G ram, booted on first attempt without a hitch, with all memory recognized.Warning: get a large enough case -- extended board size is hard to fit in many cases (CPU fan may also a consideration).

Product marketed as compatible with AMD Ryzen 2000 series. Unfortunately, AMD Ryzen 5 2600 would NOT boot. After extensive troubleshooting, including removal of peripherals 1 by 1, I was left with motherboard or CPU as only potential culprits. Much web surfing suggested that BIOS needed to be upgraded for Ryzen 2600 series. Can't remember the exact BIOS versions (perhaps 3803 from OEM?), but list of BIOS required indicated that the Ryzen 2600 SHOULD boot, even though it didn't. Solution was to install an older AM4 socket CPU (I had an old A8 laying around), boot to BIOS, flash BIOS (latest was perhaps 4000 series?), re-install Ryzen 5 2600 and was good to go. I'm generally impressed with ASUS, but this was a circus; and I felt mis-leading, as I chose this MB specifically for its represented compatibility with Ryzen 2000 series. If I didn't have the A8 cpu laying around, I would've returned this MB for something else. While it was terribly inconvenient, and I lost HOURS of troubleshooting issues with supposed compatibility, all is well that ends well, I suppose. Other than the BIOS issues, this is a good MB with lots of potential for future upgrades. Once BIOS issues are sorted, would recommend...otherwise, have an older A-series A4 cpu handy to upgrade the BIOS before you shove a Ryzen in it. FWIW...

Just answering some questions I was asking before I bought this motherboard.does it have wifi: no.does it support 2nd gen Ryzen: it should with a bios update, I have a Ryzen 7 1700 in mine, works like a charm out the box.solid board overall.

Love this board. Does a good job. One Tech note, MAKE 100% sure to buy a Graphics/Video card, if you are adding a Ryzen CPU without graphics support. This motherboard will NOT boot up at all, unless you add an add in Video card. Not a fault of this board, it's what Ryzen Does.

It is working so far.

The HDMI input does not work.
