Questions about this item

Will this board fit inside a mini-ITX case?

The Sapphire PULSE A520M-E measures 22.6 x 22.1 cm, a MATX footprint that matches the mounting holes used by many mini-ITX chassis.

Can I run four displays from the integrated graphics?

The rear panel provides one HDMI 2.1 port and one DisplayPort connection, so only two monitors are supported directly from the APU.

Which memory kits are validated for the advertised overclock speed?

The board enables DDR4 4600 MHz via XMP profiles; choose a kit rated for that frequency to achieve the listed performance.
