Socket AM4 Platform

This Micro ATX board uses the AMD A320 chipset and accepts 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen Ryzen desktop processors as well as compatible Athlon and A-series APUs. It is aimed at builders who need a compact foundation for office or entry-level gaming systems without overclocking headroom.

Memory And Drive Checks

Verify that your DDR4 modules run at 3200, 3066, 3000, 2933, 2800 or 2667 MHz via A-XMP OC MODE or at JEDEC speeds down to 1866 MHz; only two 288-pin slots are available for a maximum of 32 GB in dual channel. Confirm that any M.2 drive fits the Key M slot which operates at PCIe 3.0 x4 or x2 depending on the CPU, and that SATA devices use the four 6Gb/s ports.

Sustained Operation

The Realtek 8111H LAN controller maintains 1 Gbps throughput during long transfers, while the Realtek ALC892 codec delivers 7.1 channel audio without extra cooling. Video output relies on the processor's integrated graphics through a DVI-D port at 1920x1200@60Hz or an HDMI 1.4 port at 4096x2160@24Hz, so sustained loads stay within the CPU's thermal envelope.
