Processor and Chipset Platform

The AM4 socket and AMD A520 chipset support compatible AMD Ryzen processors. CPU compatibility can depend on the installed BIOS revision, so the processor support list should be checked when combining the board with a newly released CPU.

Memory Support

The board provides 2 DDR4 DIMM slots in a dual-channel configuration, supporting up to 64GB. Listed memory capability reaches Up to DDR4-5100 OC. Actual available speeds depend on the installed processor, memory kit, BIOS and selected XMP or EXPO profile.

PCI Express Expansion

1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 and 1 x PCIe 3.0 x1. This provides a suitable connection for a compatible graphics card while additional slots can support expansion hardware such as capture, sound or networking cards where the board layout allows.

Fast M.2 and SATA Storage

1 x PCIe 3.0 M.2. The board also includes 4 SATA 6Gb/s ports for compatible 2.5 inch SSDs, hard drives and other SATA devices. RAID support for compatible SATA and NVMe storage

Networking and Wireless Connectivity

Wired networking is provided by Gigabit Ethernet. This model is intended for a wired network connection unless a separate wireless adapter is fitted.

Audio and Display Connectivity

Realtek 7.1-channel high-definition audio provides onboard sound for speakers, headsets and gaming audio. Any HDMI or DisplayPort connections on the motherboard require a processor with compatible integrated graphics and do not operate from a CPU that has no integrated display capability.

Cooling, RGB and PC Building Features

Q-Flash Plus, Smart Fan 5 and compact AM4 system support. RGB and fan-header support varies by the listed model. Fan headers and UEFI control options allow compatible case fans and CPU cooling hardware to be configured for balanced temperatures and acoustics.
