MSI A520M-A PRO Gaming Motherboard (AMD Ryzen 5000, AM4, DDR4, PCIe 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, DVI/HDMI, Micro-ATX)

I bought this about a year ago. Really good budget board. I game a lot and it's been very good to me.Types of games: overwatch 2, Marvel rivals, COD warzone and BO6, Minecraft. Depending on how heavily modded, Minecraft works pretty great. I also run a Nvidia 2060 super FE and a Ryzen 5 5500 (stock cooler), 32 gb ram.The 2060 is as high as you can go on that board (same with the Ryzen, I think).Can handle just about anything, although I did have to turn down the graphics quality on BO6 but that could be because of everything else hat I have installed. I do need to get rid of some useless junk.Great board.

I’ve been using this motherboard for two years now, and it’s been rock solid. For the price, I wasn’t expecting much, but it has completely exceeded my expectations. No issues, crashes, or failures – it just works.It handles my [CPU/GPU/RAM setup] perfectly and runs smoothly even with long gaming or work sessions. The build quality is surprisingly good for the price, and installation was easy.If you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly motherboard, this one is a no-brainer. Definitely worth it!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good price easy installation good instructions it miss RGB connection but overall good motherboard

After the experience with the first one of these purchased gave confidence in purchasing again for another budget build. Cannot recommend using this motherboard with anything more powerful than the Ryzen 5 or a 7 on stock clocks. The first board purchased has performed admirably so purchased another one to complete a low cost build with leftover parts. The second one purchased has a bad fan header. It works but there is no control over fan speed with 3 or 4 pin fans. The applicaiton didn't really need it and didn't want to take the trouble of disassembly, return, rebuild and so on especially after activating OS license on it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is a really good budget board and worked straight out of the box for my ryzen 5 5500 and rtx 3050 my only problems being the color

So far I am impressed. It’s a solid build, easy to setup, and offers plenty of features like full AM4 support. I just wish it had two M.2 slots.

Super para jugar excelente calidad propio de la marca msi

2nd Defective board. I could not get a post for the world. After much troubleshooting. We concluded and verified with beep codes that the motherboard was defective.
