ASRock A320M Pro4-F, AMD A320 mainboard - Socket AM4 [90-MXBAA0-A0UAYZ]

The advanced chipsets AMD X370, B350 and A320 for the enthusiast, mainstream and basic segment provide many modern I / O interfaces and connections for peripheral devices, while further data lines are contributed directly by the CPU or APU.

AMD Logo Via the integrated memory controller of the processor, AM4 motherboards also support fast and energy-efficient DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode, depending on the board even with support for ECC error correction. The highly developed "Zen" micro-architecture, together with the associated AM4 platform, forms the ideal basis for high-performance systems in every area of application.

Features of the ASRock A320M Pro4-F in Micro-ATX format
The ASRock A320M Pro4-F is a mainboard in Micro-ATX format and has a fast PCI-Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection for graphics cards. There is also one PCIe 2.0 x16 and one PCIe 2.0 x1 slot for other expansion cards. The four RAM banks accommodate up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, whereby the corresponding memory can run at a maximum of 3,200 overclocked megahertz. The internal connection repertoire includes headers for USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports. The board manages data carriers such as SSDs and hard drives via four SATA 6G connections (including RAID support) and the two M.2 slots.

The features of the ASRock A320M Pro4-F at a glance:
- 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end gaming graphics cards
- 1x USB 3.0 Type C & 6x USB 3.0 & 6x USB 2.0
- 4x SATA 6G / 1x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x2) / 1x PCIe 2.0 x1
- Two M.2 slots (SATA & PCIe 3.0 x4)
- 2x PWM fan port (4-pin)
- DDR4 memory up to 3,200 MHz (OC)
- Modern UEFI BIOS including temperature monitoring

The features of the ASRock A320M Pro4-F in detail
Particularly noteworthy of the ASRock A320M Pro4-F is the USB 3.0 Type-C connector on the I / O shield and the three RGB headers. Last but not least, three fans can be connected directly to the board. On the back of the mainboard, additional devices and components can be connected to the ASRock A320M Pro4-F via USB 3.0 and 2.0, Gigabit LAN, PS / 2 or three audio sockets via the I / O shield. In addition, three monitor outputs are available for image reproduction via the integrated APU graphics unit (optional): HDMI, DVI-D and VGA.

Compatibility notice for CPU coolers on AMD Socket AM4
Due to changes in the hole spacing in the AM4 socket compared to its predecessors AM2 (+), AM3 (+) or FM2 (+), CPU coolers with backplate screw connections require compatible AM4 mounting sets, which you should pay attention to before purchasing. CPU coolers that are attached directly to the retention module of the mainboard are fully compatible.
