MSI A320M-A Pro, AMD A320 mainboard, socket AM4 [7C51-001R]

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

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" microarchitecture, together with the associated AM4 platform, forms the ideal basis for high-performance systems in every application.

Equipment of the MSI A320M-A Pro in Micro-ATX format
The MSI A320M-A Pro with the AMD A320 chipset is a mainboard in Micro-ATX format and compatible with the AMD Ryzen 3000 processors. For graphics cards, it has a fast PCI Express 3.0 slot with a full x16 connection. There is also a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot for other expansion cards. The two RAM banks hold up to 32 GB DDR4 RAM, with the corresponding memory running at a maximum of 3,200 megahertz (via OC). The internal connection repertoire includes a header for USB 3.0 and two for USB 2.0 for two or four ports.

Special features at a glance:
- AMD A320 chipset with Ryzen 3000 support
- 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end GPUs & 1x PCIe 2.0 x1
- 4x SATA 6G
- 6x USB 3.0 / 6x USB 2.0 / DVI-D / HDMI
- 2x PWM fan ports (4-pin)
- DDR4 memory up to 3,200 MHz (OC)
- Modern UEFI BIOS including temperature monitoring

The board manages data carriers such as SSDs and hard drives via four SATA 6G connections (including RAID support). In addition, two fans with a 4-pin PWM connector can be connected directly to the board. On the back of the mainboard, additional devices and components can be connected via the I / O-Shield via USB 3.0 and 2.0, Gigabit LAN, two PS / 2 ports or three audio sockets for 7.1 sound with the MSI A320M-A Pro Connect Max. In addition, two digital monitor outputs are available for image playback via an integrated APU graphics unit (optional): HDMI and DVI-D.
