budget board very limited, basic, very limited...... you make it seem that 16gb of ram with a ryzen 5, is only good enough for using microsoft word and a few media programs.

[@mikesunboxing]

I don’t think that was the case? I was trying to get across the the fact the board is fine for pretty much every pc build but lacks some fancy features. Sorry if that isn’t what you got from it

[@adcamenica1551]

sorry i didnt mean to sound rude, its just you didnt mention any gaming compatibility, only office use. as for mother boards yes it is basic when compared to other motherboards, but if it covers what someone needs then .. but you know better than me that with the right compatible cpu ram and graphics card you got yourself a decent machine.

[@mikesunboxing]

@@adcamenica1551 I didn't take your comment as rude, it is fine :-) I actually really like this board and it's simplicity is also it's strong point. there is less to go wrong! A lot of OEM's use this board with very high end components with no problems at all and as a budget board it allows money to be spent elsewhere on more important things like extra ram or a faster GPU. I welcome comments on the videos we make as it helps to get a sense of what people take away from them. So in this instance maybe i should have given the board more praise? Anyway thanks for the comments i appreciate your input.

[@adcamenica1551]

completely agree with you. yeah i mean you cant please everyone all the time and perspectives are expressed and understood differently. i am not much of a gamer type or anything like that, but i do play the odd game and use the odd applications so i like to build my own cheapish computer every 5 years or so,. if the motherboard is durable and reliable, and takes the cpu socket type i need and has two ddr4 ram ports, then i think it deserves praise. today i ordered a GIGABYTE B450M S2H Motherboard anyway. its similar enough. fit for purpose and at 60 euros i am happy.

[@zoolook3264]

A good overview. THis board came in my new pre-built PC with a 2700x, RTX 2070, 16gigs of RAM etc ... and I have to be honest - in use there are no problems. I use it heavily for music production (LOTS of very heavily CPU intensive virtual instrumetns such as those from the Roland Cloud) and it is light years ahead of my old i7 7700 computer for performance. For a budget board I would highly recommend it, it's very stable and in games I am getting very close to people who have spent 3-4x on their motherboard but with the same CPU and GPU so it's really not that under powered to be honest and leaps and bounds above an office or mediacenter PC. Also the new BIOS offers support for the latest 3rd gen Ryzen 7's and Ryzen 9 CPU's which is a huge surprise being a budget board.

[@mikesunboxing]

This board is used by a lot of OEM manufacturers, they need it to be good quality and reliable. Why spend more if you don't need to?

[@zoolook3264]

@@mikesunboxing I couldn't agree more. Sure it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a high end board, but I have been pleasantly surprised by how it handles the 2700x and the RTX 2070 - did not expect that at all but you made a great video. You weren't biased because it was a cheap board and didn't look down on people for choosing it which a LOT of reviewers do. Mine just came with the build. I used to build my own but i'm legally blind now so I've gone from building my own to buying prebuilt ones for safety more than anything - don't want to be blown across the room LOL :)

[@danhaworth6967]

I know this video is YEARS old by now but I just thought it would be worth chipping in my two cents.. Got this board when I finally decided to get back into PC gaming again (after a good ten year haitus) as a "it'll do for now" component.. You know the sort.. I fully planned to upgrade this board within a matter of months as and when the money became available to do so. That was two years ago now and I've not even felt the need to pull the thing out. This board has been ROCK solid the entire time with absolutely 0 issues from the moment it went in the case. Currently running it with a Ryzen 5 3400G, 32Gb of Corsair RAM, 1Tb Crucial NVME and an RTX 3060Ti and it runs like a dream, I honestly have no complaints at all. All in all for the price, I couldn't fault this in the slightest!

[@sebastianbruche8037]

This type of mainboard is running in my livingroom, with a Ryzen 3 2200G. And 12GB RAM, and 3GB of this for VRAM. And 3GB of VRAM for a APU is only possible with Asus! So you can also play some newer Games or retro or something, or looking some good KZbin stuff. I think for some people is this cheap board a good compromis to other expensive boards. When you have not the money for an overkill pc, or don´t need a high performance gaming machine for your games. Or you want only an HTPC!

Do you think ryzen 5 2600 will be fine with this board? Paired witha gtx 1660 super. Either buy a new b450m board and downgrade gpu to something like a rx 5500 xt 8gb or just keep the motherboard and buy gtx 1660 super/rx 5600 xt? Im upgrading from a320m-k and athlon 200ge vega 3

[@snaper0218]

Or buy i5 10400f + b460m + gtx 1650?

[@mikesunboxing]

the 2600 and 1660 super will work fine on here but you can't OC the processor, upgrading the board and downgrading the CPU or GPU probably isn't a good trade off

A great no-frills motherboard that's very stable. Current setup is a Ryzen 5 1500X CPU, 16GB RAM (2x 8GB Crucial CT8G4DFS824A @2400MHz), 500GB SSD, 1TB HDD & GTX1050Ti on Win 10. The CPU idles @ 3600MHz, 43-45 Celsius (with a fan speed of 800-900 RPM) and CPU utilisation of 2-3 % (I've yet to push it over 50% with any task - even gaming). Comes with the ASUS "AI Suite" which can automatically keep all of the drivers up to date and has an inbuilt PC Cleaner that removes Windows temporary / junk files - so you only need any other apps, other than antivirus software.

Nice setup hope you get many years out of it

I have this motherboard right now and run it with a Ryzen 5 2600,16gb 3200 and Rx5700xt and my question would be whether a better motherboard would provide more power and whether the 3600 would be able to run on this Motherboard. Or even the new 5000 series

Hey bud I have a build on the way and used this board. Not an expert as far as PCs go but what is the max ram speed this can handle out of the box?

What would be the reason to not put a 3900X on this in a few years? They say it supports it on the web site.

[@mikesunboxing]

No reason at all. As it stands overclocking these chips isn't much point as the precision boost does most of the hard work for you anyway. It is just at the moment that is a very high end chip and most people would assume that you would pair that with a higher tier motherboard. But that is the beauty of DIY builds, you can do pretty much what you want. Make it your own.

[@katech6020]

The CPU will not get the much needed power that's all. so you can use it now and upgrade the mobo later

[@mikesunboxing]

The board supports the chip but for overclocking and extra precision boost extra voltage and a stable power delivery a higher end board is nice to have

What do you think about this. I've been buying parts to build a gaming PC that allows me to play the best titles for the next, 3, 4 years. I don't care about 4k or 800 frames per second, I'm not a competitive gamer. As long as they run above 60fps, with great quality with a decent 1440p monitor, I'm happy. So, I decided to buy this A320 Mobo, it allowed me to buy the base for a gaming PC, all at once (it was a "it's now or never" descision) without geting evicted from my aparment and I believe I made a good investment: A320M-K MOBO Ryzen 3600 8GB 2936Mhz RAM Stick (I'll buy another 8GB stick later) EVGA 600B 80+ PSU 2TB Hard Drive 240GB SSD Boot Drive Now, I have it up and running on my dekstop with an old GTX 670, it's perfectly fine for good 2010 - 2016 titles at 1080p. But now all I have to do is finish saving for my RTX2070 and I'll have all the horsepower for good recent and upcming titles without having to worry about framerates anymore.

Hello Mike, Im building a budget gaming build. Ive paired this with the Ryzen 7 3700x and a Geforce GTX 960. Why do you not recommend going over a Ryzen 2700x? Asus website says its compatible so even with a bios update what would be the bottleneck?

[@mikesunboxing]

it just might not boost as high as you would like and for maybe not so long

I would note that this board might seem to support Gen 3 Ryzen however it's only if you upgrade the bios. If you buy it stock and slap a gen 3 in it your going to be sitting here like my wondering why I didn't read into it before I had a client order one.
