ASUS PRIME A320I-K / CSM, AMD A320 mainboard - Socket AM4

The ASUS Prime A320I-K / CSM is a mainboard in mini-ITX format and has a fast PCI-Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection for the graphics card. The two RAM banks take up to 64 GB DDR4 RAM, whereby the corresponding memory can run at a maximum of 3,600 MHz. The internal connection repertoire includes a header for USB 3.0 and two headers for USB 2.0 for two and four ports, respectively.

The features of the ASUS Prime A320I-K / CSM at a glance:
– 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end gaming graphics cards
– DDR4 memory up to 3,600 MHz
– 1x M.2 slot with PCIe 3.0 x4 connection
– USB on the I / O panel: 4x USB-A 3.0 / 2x USB 2.0
– Internal USB ports: 2x USB 3.0 / 4x USB 2.0
– Modern UEFI BIOS including temperature monitoring

The features of the ASUS Prime A320I-K / CSM in detail
The board manages data carriers such as SSDs and hard disks via four SATA 6G connections (including RAID support) and an M.2 slot, which is connected with four PCI Express 3.0 lanes and thus extremely high speeds of up to 32 Gbit / s. The M.2 slot is compatible with both NVMe and SATA M.2 SSDs.

On the back of the mainboard, additional devices and components can be connected to the ASUS Prime A320I-K / CSM via USB 3.0 and 2.0, Gigabit LAN, universal PS / 2 or three audio sockets for sound using the I / O shield. In addition, two monitor outputs are available for displaying images via the integrated APU graphics unit (optional): HDMI and DisplayPort.

Compatibility note 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 buying. CPU coolers that are attached directly to the retention module of the mainboard are fully compatible.

Compatibility information for Ryzen CPUs / APUs of the 3000 series:
Attention: In the case of mainboards with the X370, B350 and A320 chipsets, it may be necessary to carry out a BIOS update in order to operate a CPU / APU of the Ryzen 3000 series, for which a CPU from the previous series must be used! Corresponding motherboards with older BIOS versions may otherwise be. cannot run with a Ryzen 3000 CPU / APU.

Note: The supported memory rate depends on the processor used
