Our take on the ASUS Prime A520M-A II

The ASUS Prime A520M-A II is a micro-ATX AM4 motherboard built for budget Ryzen builds. It has one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, one M.2 slot, four SATA ports, two DIMM slots for up to 64 GB of DDR4, and a rear panel with HDMI, DVI, USB-C and PS/2. It cannot overclock the CPU and runs PCIe 3.0 only, so it sits below B550 boards on expansion and tuning but covers the basics for a general-purpose or office PC. Reviewers treat it as a plain, reliable board for Ryzen 3 and Ryzen 5 chips rather than a base for high-end parts.

What reviewers say

Owners describe it as a no-fuss board that boots first time and handles everyday Ryzen builds. Criticism centers on the limited chipset features and the sparse fan and memory options rather than reliability.

What people mention
  • StabilityPraisedOwners report it posts and runs without fuss in basic builds.
  • BIOS setupPraisedUsers find the BIOS straightforward for setting boot order and memory profiles.
  • OverclockingCriticisedThe A520 chipset blocks CPU overclocking, which buyers note as a limit.
  • Fan headersCriticisedTwo 4-pin headers are called too few for cases with several fans.
  • Memory slotsMixedTwo DIMM slots are fine at purchase but leave little room to add RAM later.

Questions and answers

Can I overclock the CPU on this board?
No. The A520 chipset does not support CPU overclocking, so pick a B550 or X570 board if you plan to tune a Ryzen chip.
Does it support Ryzen 5000 processors?
Yes, with a current BIOS. Older stock may ship with an earlier BIOS, so check the revision or update it with a supported chip first.
How many M.2 drives can I install?
One. The single M.2 slot takes 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 drives and runs at PCIe 3.0 speed.
Is PCIe 4.0 supported?
No. The board is PCIe 3.0 throughout, so a PCIe 4.0 graphics card or SSD will run at 3.0 speed.
Does it have Wi-Fi?
No. Networking is a single RJ45 Ethernet port, so you need a USB or PCIe Wi-Fi card for wireless.
What comes in the box?
The board, a SATA cable, the I/O shield and documentation. Check the listing for the exact bundle.
Where is the ASUS Prime A520M-A II cheapest?
At Asus, for $77.41, as of our latest check.
