  • Our take on the Asrock A520M-HVS

    The ASRock A520M-HVS is a budget micro-ATX motherboard for AMD's AM4 socket, built on the entry-level A520 chipset. It covers the basics well: one M.2 slot, HDMI 2.1 output, four SATA ports, RAID support and two fan headers, with no overclocking or PCIe 4.0. It suits Ryzen 3 and Ryzen 5 builds where cost matters more than expansion, and it is a step below B550 boards that add PCIe 4.0 and CPU overclocking.

    Pros
    • Supports Ryzen 3 through Ryzen 9 on AM4
    • M.2 slot accepts 2230 to 2280 drives
    • HDMI 2.1 output for 4K at 60Hz from an APU
    • RAID 0, 1 and 10 on SATA drives
    • Two 4-pin fan headers and a PS/2 port for legacy gear
    Cons
    • A520 chipset blocks CPU overclocking
    • No PCIe 4.0 support
    • Only two memory slots, so 64GB is the practical ceiling
    • One M.2 slot and no USB-C header
    • Basic VRM and no heatsinks, so it is not for high-power Ryzen 9 chips

    Questions and answers

    Does the ASRock A520M-HVS support overclocking?
    No. The A520 chipset does not allow CPU overclocking or memory overclocking beyond rated speeds. Pick a B550 board if you want to tune a Ryzen chip.
    Which CPUs fit this board?
    It uses socket AM4 and supports Ryzen 3, 5, 7 and 9 processors. Avoid the highest-power Ryzen 9 parts because the VRM has no heatsinks.
    How many M.2 drives can I install?
    One. The single M.2 slot takes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 drives, and it is the only NVMe slot on the board.
    Can I get video output without a graphics card?
    Yes, if you use a Ryzen chip with integrated graphics. The HDMI 2.1 port drives a display up to 4K at 60Hz.
    Is this board good for a gaming PC?
    For a single graphics card and one M.2 drive, yes. It lacks PCIe 4.0 and a second M.2 slot, so it suits modest builds rather than high-end ones.
    What memory does it take?
    Two DDR4 DIMM slots, rated up to 4733MHz with overclocked modules. Standard 3200MHz kits work fine.
    Where is the Asrock A520M-HVS cheapest?
    At Newegg, for $74.99, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the Asrock A520M-HVS?
    Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 31 ratings.
