ASUS PRIME A320M-K AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI VGA M.2 USB 3.1 Micro-ATX Motherboard

These are my notable experiences when putting this in a silent gaming build with an M.2 HD, 16 GB RAM, an AMD 200GE CPU, and Linux as the OS.UPDATE: I upgraded the system by installing Ryzen 9 3900X and a NVIDIA 1650 Super, both with stock cooling. The components were able to work without a hitch and caused no change to the stability of the system. This was quite impressive, and the only question which remains is longevity - but I have high expectations.The BIOS utility was not intuitive, even installing Windows 8.1 requires some hoops because legacy USB keyboard support is an issue. EZ mode and UEFI were mostly useless. Documentation was grammatically correct but barebones.The M.2 drive requires particular BIOS settings to enable or the board simply will not recognize the disk. Updating the firmware was painless, security was adequate, and the clocks and voltages are simple. Hardware installation was uncomplicated. Overall this board has great value and a wide range of supported configurations once you coax the BIOS.

These boards work great for an everyday mid range user. I cannot speak for what it does for a "gamer" as I don't build for that purpose. I build for professional businesses. I've built many with the A8 9600 and the Ryzen 3 2200G and both yield great results. Pair it up with 8-16 gb of Crucial or Patriot ram and an SSD you'll have a fast solid stable machine. My customers love these units that I've built with these combos.*** Note- I don't know if I've been lucky but have never had one need a bios update to boot with a Ryzen 3. There is however a bios update available on Asus' website for performance enhancements.

Bought this motherboard to build a cheap CPU mining rig (XMR, VRSC, etc). Board will support up to 12-core Ryzen CPUs. Throw in 2 sticks of PC3200 RAM and a cheap M2 SSD and you've got a very powerful miner for cheap. When building a CPU mining rig you don't need 6+ PCI-E slots, fancy sound or "super speed ethernet." you need stable. If using a Ryzen CPU you'll need a GPU. I recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AZHOX5K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Cheap, fanless, gets the job done. Very happy with this little motherboard.

I would probably not choose this as my main system board because I have a 5900x but honestly I would be very comfortable putting a 4,6, or 8 core cpu in this board. Im using it to build a system for my niece, so she just needs it to work not all the fancy overclocking features> I have a ryzen 1600af in the board, I updated the bios and tried my 5700x from my backup pc and it works fine too, dont overthink getting this board, its cheap it works, so for a basic gaming/office/media pc its just fine..... and cheap.11/18/22Got a bad board,swapped it out, running smooth as butter now with a Rx 5700xt recycled from upgrading someone's PC, so $100 bucks for a gaming system and I got rid of spare parts I had, win win
