A520I AC (AMD Ryzen AM4/Mini-ITX/Direct 6 Phases Digital PWM with 55A DrMOS/Gaming GbE LAN/Intel WiFi+Bluetooth/NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2/3 Display Interfaces/Q-Flash Plus/Motherboard)

I liked this motherboard so much I bought it twice. Both are being used in SFF builds using a Ryzen 5600G and a 5500. XMP setup was really easy and worked first-time with two brands of RAM sticks. I built both with NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards, and do some moderate gaming and they work well. Wifi works well, good set of ports, NVME slot. Sure, it's not a gaming motherboard, but I love that it's AM4, is solid hardware, and can be built for much less, and works well for what I need.

It worked with a Ryzen 5600x right out of the box, no BIOS update needed. XMP profile for RAM was 1 click in BIOS setup. Plenty of fan headers and even a few RGB connections if you're in to that. The only cons are the included paperwork is just 1 sheet of paper that just shows an overview of the on board connections, but no labeling of the pin connections; specifically the front panel I/O, which has to be plugged in individually. You will have to search online for the specific model to find the actual 42 page user manual in PDF form to find the breakdown of all the specific pins functionality. No one includes driver media anymore, but you can either download drivers individually from Gigabyte's website, or download their "APP Center" application which will install driver updates for you, as well as some useful (and other not so useful) tools. Pay attention to the setup process with APP Center though, as it will try to, by default, install Norton Antivirus software. You can pick and choose which apps and drivers to install. The on board wifi/bluetooth supposedly supports up to about 450 mbps, but regardless of placement of the antenna, I was only able to get about 100 mbps upload and download speeds both before and after driver updates; my MacBook Pro sitting right next to the PC was able to get 545 mbps up/down. Your mileage may vary however. I haven't tested the on board wired LAN but it's an Intel 1gbps port so it should run at whatever your home internet is capable of. Overall solid board with no issues,

After a number of system upgrades, I found myself with a DDR4 memory kit, an ITX case and a 5600G without a home. I bought this board and a boot drive to assemble a low power system. Everything I put in was recognized out of the box, Windows install was straightforward and I've had zero issues with it. It's got the a520 chipset, so it's limited to 26 lanes of PCIe gen 3. It doesn't support overclocking and has a fairly basic VRM, so it's not the best choice for gaming. It only has 2 memory slots, one PCIe slot and one M.2 slot so expansion options are limited. If you understand it's limitations and can live within them, it's a great board. For this system I have no need to overclock and the 16 Gb of memory I have in it is all it will ever need. It recognized the XMP memory timings and runs it at the advertised 3600 mHz. Sitting here typing this review while streaming video from a media server it's drawing 31 watts, including the monitors. I can use it for light gaming and I have 6 TB of storage on it backing up some less important stuff. If you're building a gaming system I'd spend the extra money for a more fully featured B550 or X570 board, but for a fast, low power desktop this is an excellent choice.

Its not fancy. It's quite minimal, and that is where it shines. I use it for a small Ai/LLM server + NAS with a dual fan GPU and CPU with integrated graphics. Pros: - Solid build quality. - Thermals and power efficiency are good and adjustable. - 4 SATA ports, which is becoming rare for boards of this size and price.. - m.2 slot is not fancy, making installation easy. bring your own heatsink. - hands 8core cpu, 64gb of ram, and 5060ti with no issues. Cons: - 1 Gigabyte ethernet. I supplement with 2.5G usb adapter. - RGB control in Linux is fussy, and I had no luck addressing my Tridenz rgb, even to just turn it off - its stuck in rainbow mode. Overall, this board is very useful for utility and perhaps light gaming if you have a 5600 or higher. My build is very small, so I wouldn't go with the 12 or 16 core due to thermal tradeoffs.

After years of using an ATX board for testing items to sell online, I decided to save space. I paired up with an AMD 3200G for the onboard graphics, freeing up the PCIe slot for whatever I need to test. While not the ideal CPU for gaming, fast enough for my needs, and I can add my spare GPU to the carry case and take it on the road if needed. Using a Thermalright AXP90 keeps the CPU cool, there is no fan noise, so I sometime forget it's on. If your case has front panel USB C, you may want to buy the the level MB, to keep the USB 3.2 speed. I haven't found an adapter that supports over 2.0. Other than that, a fair amount of USB ports on the back panel, for basic needs. The WiFi connected without the antenna's attached, that was unexpected. Five months of swapping peripherals for testing, the board passed the durability test, doing the job I need it to do. Most boards are being rebuilt daily.

Great motherboard for its size. When trying to do a small form factor its very practical. Plues ive had issue with the BIOS update and because of a feature you can easily fix a bricked BIOS in minutes just using a usb drive

Plugged in the usb2 connecter but when unplugging it as carefully as possible it pulled the connector off of the motherboard. Hopefully it still works as all the pins looked to be okay but how dissapointing for a brand new board. additionally system fan 2 uses a special plug because screw anyone who wanted to use it without buying an adapter also dont set up ultra fast boot as there is no way to get back to the bios afer doing such unless you want to remove the cmos battery and the q-flash button does nothing at all from what i can tell. UPDATE, after having owned it for six months and having to reset the pc and reinstall windows the built in wifi quit working and dosnt even acknowledge that there is a wifi card at all. updating bios did not fix it nor did updating windows (which i cant even update from windows 10 now since having to resete it it keeps getting stuck on an update and i cannot find any soloutions for this) additionaly the fan settings in the bios never work correctly. if you have high speed fans this can make your pc unbearable to use when they decide max speed despite the temp being fine.

nice little board for the price, the box pictured is the old version of this board, i was sent the most up to date version with ryzen 5000 supported out of the box. worked perfectly for my needs as my pc case is smaller than a toaster.

Set up an extra small PC using this. Cheap for ITX. Really tiny. Never felt anything is amiss. AM4 still rocks, especially with cheap processors and cheap RAM available.

Just wanted a small form factor motherboard, to do the job, and it delivers. Pairs great with my 5600G and handy in a small itx case.
