ASRock A520M-HVS Motherboard is a compact micro-ATX board built for Socket AM4 systems and designed around the AMD A520 chipset, ideal for budget-friendly Ryzen builds.

This motherboard supports AMD processors using Socket AM4 and is compatible with AMD Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs, offering a reliable foundation for everyday computing and office systems.

The A520M-HVS accepts up to 64 GB of DDR4-SDRAM across two DIMM slots in dual-channel configuration, supporting wide-ranging memory speeds (from 2133 MHz up to 4533+ MHz in overclock scenarios) and unbuffered, non-ECC modules.

Storage options are flexible with M.2 and SATA III support and room for up to five drives, while included SATA cables simplify setup. Expansion is practical for a micro-ATX board: one PCIe x16 (Gen3) slot for a discrete GPU and one PCIe x1 (Gen3) slot for add-in cards.

I/O is comprehensive for typical builds, featuring four USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI and VGA outputs for integrated Radeon Vega graphics support, a PS/2 port, front-panel audio, and a single Gigabit Ethernet port powered by a Realtek RTL8111H controller with Wake-on-LAN capability.

Audio is 7.1-channel capable and cooling/connectivity needs are addressed with a 24-pin ATX power connector, CPU fan header, two chassis fan headers, one COM connector and BIOS based on UEFI AMI. No onboard Wi‑Fi is included, keeping the design simple and cost-effective.

Typical use cases include home office PCs, HTPCs, small gaming or multimedia systems using Ryzen APUs or discreet Radeon GPUs, and compact upgrade projects where reliability and essential modern I/O are required.
