Socket AM4 DDR4 platform

The MSI A520M PRO is a Micro ATX motherboard built around the AMD A520 chipset. It accepts third-generation Ryzen desktop processors and Ryzen 4000 G-series desktop processors in the AM4 socket. Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs at speeds from 1866 up to 4600 MHz with a 64GB maximum capacity. A single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot provide expansion room.

Suited for value Ryzen builds

This board suits builders pairing a Ryzen 5000, 5000G, 4000G or 3000 series CPU with a single graphics card and SATA storage. The x16 link operates at full speed with those processors, while a Ryzen 3000G processor drops the slot to x8 speed. Users needing multiple M.2 drives, additional PCIe lanes or integrated Wi-Fi should look at a different chipset.

Steady operation under load

The Realtek RTL8111H gigabit LAN controller and Realtek ALC892/ALC897 audio codecs handle continuous network traffic and audio streaming without extra hardware. Four SATA III ports and one M.2 interface keep storage bandwidth available during extended file transfers. Six USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps ports maintain peripheral connectivity throughout long sessions.

Questions about this item

What CPU and memory do I need to run this MSI A520M PRO motherboard?

Install a 3rd-generation Ryzen desktop processor or a Ryzen 4000 G-series processor in the Socket AM4 socket, and add up to 64 GB of DDR4 modules running at speeds from 1866 MHz up to 4600 MHz in dual-channel mode.

Will my existing Radeon graphics card and SATA drives work with the PCIe and storage interfaces on this board?

The board provides one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot that runs at x16 speed with Ryzen 5000, 5000G, 4000G and 3000 processors, plus one M.2 interface and four SATA III ports for your current drives.

How can I confirm the Realtek audio and gigabit LAN are active after I build the system?

In Windows Device Manager, verify that the Realtek ALC892 or ALC897 audio codec and the Realtek RTL8111H gigabit network adapter both appear without error icons.
