ASUS PRIME A320M-K, AMD A320 Motherboard - Socket AM4 [90MB0TV0-M0EAY0]

The advanced AMD X370, B350 and A320 chipsets for the enthusiast, mainstream and base segment provide many modern I / O interfaces and connections for peripherals, while additional data lines are directly controlled by the CPU or APU.

AMD Logo AM4 motherboards also support fast, energy-efficient DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode, and support for ECC error correction, depending on the board, through the processor's built-in memory controller. The highly developed "Zen" microarchitecture, together with its AM4 platform, is the ideal foundation for powerful systems in any application.
Features of the ASUS PRIME A320M-K in the Micro ATX format

The ASUS PRIME A320M-K is a motherboard in micro ATX format and has graphics cards with a fast PCI Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection. Two PCIe x1 slots are also available for other expansion cards. Up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory take up the two RAM banks, whereby corresponding memory can run at a maximum of 3,200 overclocked megahertz.

Special features at a glance:

1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end gaming graphics cards
Supports AMD A-APU integrated graphics
4x USB 3.0 Type A & 1x M.2 Slot PCIe 3.0 x4 & SATA-6G
DDR4 memory up to 3,200 MHz (OC)
Modern UEFI BIOS including temperature monitoring

Such as SSDs and hard disks, the board is managed by four SATA 6G connectors (including RAID support), as well as a horizontal M.2 slot, which is connected to four PCI Express 3.0 lanes, enabling enormous speeds up to to 32 Gbit / s. M.2 SSDs from 42 to 80 mm in length can be used, as well as the advanced NVM Express protocol, which has been specifically optimized for highly parallelized data carrier accesses to modern PCIe SSDs.

On the mainboard rear panel, additional devices and components can be connected to the ASUS PRIME A320M-K via USB 3.0 and 2.0, Gigabit LAN, PS / 2 or three audio sockets for sound. In addition, an HDMI and VGA port are available, which are supported by AMD's Radeon R graphics unit from AMD A-APUs. The internal connection repertoire includes a header for USB 3.0 for two ports and two USB 2.0 headers for four ports. The board also provides a COM port header.
