  • 7 nm Zen 3 architecture keeps power draw at 65 W

Socket AM4 Platform Bundle

This bundle pairs an MSI A520M-A PRO motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5600G processor for Socket AM4 systems. The 65W 6-core CPU includes integrated Radeon graphics and 16MB L3 cache. It suits office workstations or entry gaming builds that do not need a discrete graphics card. Windows 11 is supported out of the box.

Upgrade Path From Older AM4 CPUs

The board supports 3rd Gen Ryzen desktop processors and Ryzen 4000 G-Series desktop processors alongside the included 5600G. Builders moving from a 1st or 2nd Gen Ryzen chip gain Zen 3 architecture and higher DDR4 speeds. The jump is worthwhile when the current system cannot reach the memory frequencies this platform enables.

Micro-ATX Installation Notes

The Micro-ATX form factor fits most standard chassis without clearance issues. Install the CPU, attach the cooler, then populate DDR4 slots following the 1DPC guidelines for maximum frequency. A common mistake is mixing single-rank and dual-rank modules, which limits the top speed to 3866 MHz instead of 4600 MHz.

Questions about this item

Will the Micro ATX form factor of the MSI A520M-A PRO fit in my case?

The board uses the Micro ATX form factor, so it fits any chassis that supports Micro ATX or full-size ATX mounting holes.

Do I need to update the BIOS before installing the Ryzen 5 5600G on this A520 motherboard?

The combo ships with the Ryzen 5 5600G already paired to the A520 board, so the BIOS should recognise the 65 W Cezanne processor without an update.

What is the maximum DDR4 speed the A520M-A PRO can run with the Ryzen 5 5600G installed?

With a single-rank module the board supports up to 4600 MHz via A-XMP OC MODE; dual-rank modules top out at 3866 MHz.
