AM4 entry board for basic builds

The MSI A320M-A PRO MAX uses the AMD A320 chipset on a Micro ATX PCB and accepts Socket AM4 processors from the 7th generation A-series and Athlon lines. Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs at 1866, 2133 or 2400MHz with a maximum capacity of 32GB. A single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot operates at x8 speed with those CPUs and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots provide additional expansion.

Suits budget systems not overclockers

This board fits users pairing supported AM4 CPUs with standard memory speeds of 1866, 2133 or 2400MHz who want 7.1-channel audio from the Realtek ALC887 codec and a single Realtek 8111H Gigabit LAN port. Six USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and six USB 2.0 ports cover most peripheral needs. Builders needing CPU overclocking, multiple graphics cards or faster memory should choose a different chipset.

32GB DDR4 limit defines capacity

The hard ceiling of 32GB across two dual-channel DDR4 slots is the specification that decides whether this motherboard matches the planned memory configuration. Four SATA III ports provide storage connectivity while the onboard USB headers come from the A320 chipset itself.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the Micro-ATX board and its single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot need inside the chassis?

The board uses the Micro-ATX form factor, so it fits any case with matching mounting holes and enough room for a full-length card in the one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot.

Which screws and connectors must be attached during installation, and which step is often missed?

Secure the board with the standard Micro-ATX standoffs, connect the 24-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU power headers, then fit the supplied I/O shield before seating the board — the shield is the step most often forgotten.

What component will need replacement over time, and what is included in the box for it?

A CMOS battery is included; when the system starts losing date, time or BIOS settings after power-off, that cell should be swapped for a new one.
