ASRock A520M-HDV Motherboard - Socket AM4 delivers a compact and reliable foundation for AMD-based systems, designed for builders who want Micro ATX efficiency with broad AM4 support.

This motherboard is built around the AMD A520 chipset and supports AMD Ryzen 3000 Series processors via the Socket AM4 platform, offering compatibility for a wide range of CPUs and everyday performance needs.

Memory support includes two DIMM slots with dual-channel DDR4-SDRAM capability and an unbuffered maximum of 64 GB, compatible with a long list of clock speeds from 2133 MHz up to 4533+ MHz depending on your modules and tuning.

Storage options are flexible thanks to M.2 and SATA III interfaces, and the board can handle up to five drives, making it suitable for both fast NVMe boot drives and larger SATA mass storage arrays.

The A520M-HDV features essential connectivity for home and office systems: four USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port driven by a Realtek RTL8111H controller with Wake-on-LAN, and legacy support with one PS/2 and one COM port.

Graphics output is covered by HDMI and VGA (D-Sub) for multi-display setups and integrated Radeon Vega support for APUs, while audio delivers up to 7.1 channels through onboard headers and front panel connectors.

With a micro ATX form factor (230 x 201 mm), one PCIe x16 (Gen3) and one PCIe x1 (Gen3) slot, two chassis fan connectors plus a CPU fan header, and a standard 24-pin ATX power connector, this board is compact but practical for small desktops, HTPCs, or budget gaming rigs.

Use cases include a home office PC that needs reliable wired networking, a compact media center using HDMI output and M.2 storage, or a budget gaming build pairing a Ryzen CPU with integrated Radeon Vega graphics. The ASRock A520M-HDV puts key selling points—AM4 compatibility, M.2 storage, expandable memory, and solid connectivity—front and center for value-oriented system builders.
