Frequently asked questions about this product
Which processors does the MSI A520M-A PRO accept?
AMD Ryzen 5000, 5000G, 4000G, 3000 and 3000G series processors, on the AM4 socket. The G models have integrated graphics, useful if you are not adding a graphics card.
Does this motherboard fit in a small case?
Yes: it is a micro-ATX form factor, shorter than an ATX board. It fits in a micro-ATX case as well as in a standard mid-tower.
Can I install an NVMe SSD on this motherboard?
Yes: it has one PCIe Gen3 x4 Turbo M.2 port, designed for NVMe SSDs. It is the slot to use for the system drive.
What resolution does this board's HDMI output accept?
Up to 4K UHD. The output relays the processor's graphics: it therefore requires a Ryzen with a graphics core, such as the G models.
What memory does this A520M motherboard accept?
DDR4, up to 4,600 MHz with overclocking. The memory circuit is isolated — MSI calls it DDR4 Boost — to deliver a clean signal and improve stability.
Does this MSI motherboard have Wi-Fi?
No: it connects via Gigabit Ethernet. For wireless, you will need a PCIe card or a USB Wi-Fi adapter — to be planned at build time if the machine is far from the router.
What does this board's 2-ounce copper PCB bring?
Better heat dissipation and greater long-term reliability. Combined with Core Boost digital power, it is what enables the board to handle processors with many cores.
What is the audio quality of this motherboard?
It features Audio Boost, which MSI presents as studio-quality sound. Enough to connect a decent pair of headphones directly without going through a sound card.
Is this MSI A520M-A PRO motherboard new and under warranty?
Yes, it is a new MSI product, reference 911-7C96-044, from the professional PRO range. The invoice serves as the warranty document, for 1 year. Keep it in case a defect is found.
A simple, reliable base for a Ryzen desktop: two DDR4 slots up to 64 GB, an M.2 NVMe SSD, four SATA ports, plus HDMI and DVI-D outputs so a Ryzen G can run without a graphics card.
Compatible with AMD Ryzen 3/5/7/9 (3rd and 5th generation), with DDR4 RAM up to 64 GB in dual channel, 5 M.2/SATA III storage devices and HDMI 2.1 + VGA outputs.
VGA output alongside HDMI to reuse an older monitor, an M.2 port for an NVMe SSD and a PCIe 4.0 slot for the graphics card. LGA 1700 socket, compatible with 12th-, 13th- and 14th-generation Intel Core.
•LGA 1700 socket — 12th-, 13th- and 14th-generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron
PCIe 4.0 for the graphics card and one M.2 Gen4 port: twice the bandwidth of the previous generation. AM4 socket, two DDR4 slots up to 4600 MHz when overclocked, four SATA with RAID 0, 1 and 10.
•AM4 socket — AMD Ryzen 5000, 4000G and 3000 processors
•Micro-ATX form factor
•2 dual-channel DDR4 slots, up to 4600 MHz when overclocked
LGA 1700 and memory up to 4800 MHz when overclocked, to build an Intel Core 12th to 14th generation machine without buying new modules. One M.2 Gen4 port, a reinforced PCIe 4.0 slot and a connector to sync RGB strips.
Cut out for entry-level builds on socket LGA 1700, with two DDR5 slots taking up to 96 GB, one M.2 port and four SATA. The built-in VGA and HDMI outputs are enough for office work.
A micro-ATX base for Ryzen processors on socket AM4, with four DDR4 slots taking up to 128 GB. PCI Express 4.0 benefits graphics cards as much as recent NVMe SSDs, and the main M.2 port is covered by a heatsink.
PCIe 4.0 for the graphics card and the SSD, four DDR4 slots up to 128 GB and two M.2: enough to build an upgradable gaming or creative PC. A Flash BIOS button and a pre-installed I/O shield simplify assembly.
