Ready for AM4 builds

This bundle pairs an MSI A520M PRO-VH motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5500 65W processor for socket AM4 systems. The six-core CPU has no integrated graphics, so a discrete video card is required. Builders get a current-generation platform in a single package.

Micro-ATX layout with DDR4 flexibility

The micro-ATX board fits compact cases while leaving room for a graphics card and other expansion cards. Four DDR4 slots support JEDEC speeds from 1866 to 3200 and A-XMP OC modes up to 4600 depending on population. SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0 ports handle storage and peripherals.

BIOS update required for 5000 Series

The motherboard ships on an older BIOS; a BIOS update is needed before the Ryzen 5 5500 will post. No integrated graphics means the update must be performed with a compatible processor already installed or via USB BIOS Flashback if the board provides it.
