Gigabytes A520M H, AMD A520 motherboard - Socket AM4

In contrast to the AMD chipsets B550 and X570, the A520 neither supports PCIe 4.0 nor overclocking. Mainboards with the A520 chipset support PCIe 3.0 and offer office and home users a reliable basis for their PC.

The features of the Gigabyte A520M H motherboard at a glance:
– A total of 2 RGB-LED headers for connecting e.g. B. RGB strips
– DDR4 memory up to 3,200 MHz, using RAM-OC up to 5,000 MHz
– 1x M.2 slot with x4 PCIe 3.0 connection directly to the CPU
– 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot for the graphics card
– USB on the I / O panel: 2x USB 2.0 / 4x USB 3.0 type A
– Internal USB ports: 4x USB 2.0 / 2x USB 3.0
– A total of 3x 4-pin PWM headers for fans

The Gigabyte A520M H in detail:
The Gigabyte A520M H is an A520 mainboard in Micro-ATX format. RGB-LED components can be connected and controlled via a 4-pin RGB header (12V) and a digitally addressable 3-pin RGB header (5V), provided they are compatible with the RGB software on the mainboard.

A PCIe 3.0 slot in x16 format is available for graphics cards, which is directly connected to the Ryzen 3000 processor via a total of 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes. Two PCIe x1 slots are also provided for plug-in and expansion cards.

Connections for drives and peripherals
The Ryzen 3000 CPUs provide four PCIe lanes for direct connection of NVMe SSDs. With this A520 mainboard, these four lanes are used to connect a single M.2 slot for NVMe SSDs. Four SATA 6G connections are also available via the A520 chipset.

On the I / O panel, the Gigabyte A520M H offers four USB 3.0 ports with type A sockets. USB 3.0 or USB 3.2 Gen 1 achieves maximum speeds of 5 Gbit / s per port. In addition, two USB 2.0 ports are provided. This A520 motherboard also offers features such as Gigabit LAN (Realtek 8118), onboard sound (Realtek ALC887 Audio Codec) and numerous internal headers. One HDMI and one DVI output are provided for processors with an integrated graphics unit. With Bo (a) rd there is also support for RAM kits up to 5,000 MHz.
