Our take on the MSI A520M PRO-VH AM4 AMD A520 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Motherboard

The MSI A520M PRO-VH is a budget micro ATX board for AMD's AM4 socket. It uses the A520 chipset, so it runs Ryzen 3000 and 5000 CPUs but not older Ryzen 1000 or 2000 chips, and it has no PCIe 4.0 support. It offers one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, four SATA III ports, an M.2 slot, HDMI and four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. It suits a low-cost office or light gaming build where you don't need overclocking or extra expansion. Against B550 boards it gives up PCIe 4.0, CPU overclocking and a second full-size slot, but it covers the basics for a single-GPU system.
