AMD A520 micro-ATX board with Ryzen 5 5600

This bundle pairs an A520 chipset motherboard in micro-ATX form factor with a six-core Ryzen 5 5600 processor. The CPU runs at a 3.5 GHz base clock and carries a 65 W TDP with 32 MB of L3 cache. No integrated graphics are present, so a discrete card is required for display output. Windows 11 compatibility is confirmed.

Suits budget AM4 builds with a dedicated GPU

The board targets builders who already own or plan to add a separate graphics card and want a straightforward AM4 foundation. It is not intended for systems that rely on processor graphics, nor for users who need multiple full-speed expansion slots. Overclocking headroom is limited by the A520 chipset design.

DDR4 memory support up to 4600 MT/s by A-XMP

Four DDR4 slots accept speeds from 1866 MT/s at JEDEC defaults up to 4600 MT/s when using A-XMP OC MODE with a single-rank single-DIMM-per-channel configuration. Two-rank modules top out at 3866 MT/s under the same profile. Choose memory kits that match the desired speed tier and rank layout.
