RYZEN 5 5600X Running on $50 Motherboard

Just ordered the a520m s2h for a r3 4100. Looks like a banger budget board besides being a little hot it performs well. Earned a sub from me my friend, great quality video 👌

[@swampysanta5445]

those people using boards without heatsinks use the stock cooler cause that blows air across the board and vrms to keep them cooler. nerd on a buget he did a video vrm temps was 40 cel with stock cooler and 67 cel with aftermarket cooler.

Just recently bought a prebuilt with the ASRock 520 Micro ATX this is very reassuring of my new pc not blowing up cuz of cheapo board. Appreciate the insight

[@TheTryingDutchman]

Hi, both me and my brother own this motherboard. He with a ryzen 5600x and me with a ryzen 3600x. I've been using it since it launched in the summer of 2020 and it still works perfectly. It cant overclock or run ram speed faster than 3200 mhz, but for 4 and 6 core cpu's this motherboard is fine! P.s. make sure there are 2 stick of ram in the motherboard instead of 1, this greatly improves the performance of the entire pc!

Hi George, I'm going to be building a Budget PC to a degree! And my question is, What "Motherboard" do I Buy for my below optioned specs? I'm going to be buying Ryzen 5 5600x also buying DDR4 Ram x2 8GB 3200MHz, ( I'm still wanting to be using my 600W PSU & my GTX 1060 6GB GPU + my 500GB SSD ), I have for the Windows 11 Installation. But saying that I'm going to be maxed out just leaving me enough for a MATX Case, I think! So yes its a "Budget Build", (After all the above Maybe £60.00 / £80.00 left ), Gulp my first ever, so I can't afford to make a mistake, so this is why I've come to you my friend. It's going to be a struggle for me because of my limited fiancial savings because of a substantial disability, but that won't hold me back, I will do it. Please can you helpfully advise me, thank you.

Hello, will it work ''out of the box'' with 5000 series, or the BIOS update is mandatory? For example Gigabyte A520 S2H with 5600g

[@elderdragon7856]

It will likely need a BIOS update, which is simple through q-flash with a USB Stick. No need for another Ryzen CPU for flashing the BIOS.

they should include some old ryzen 3 chip with every 5600x, i got one last week with a brand new board from Amazon and the board said on the box it was "5000 series ready" yet it needs a bios update to run the 5600x. So i go to this local pc shop and the only boards the guy has are super cheap ones, he tells me the one I get from him will run the chip, get home and put the chip on the 2nd board and the same issue, I google it and sure enough it won't work without a bios update.

[@PloutosPlays]

The button on the back IO of the a520m is a Q Flash Plus button. Look it up, it means you can update your bios with nothing but the mother board, a PSU, and the bios on a flash drive downloaded from any other PC.

[@TheTryingDutchman]

@@raz6182 yes, the ram runs in dual channel. As for the audio, all budget boards have the same audio encoder, if you want to get the the better audio you'll need atleast a b550m pro which are 2-4 times more expensive than the A520MH. For slightly better audio and a bunch of stuff you'll probably hardly ever use. Many people tend to overspend on motherboards, dont be one of those people, spend the money you save on your gpu or CPU because that will give you actual performance gains! (Also ive never had any issues with 'bad' audio and if I would I'd just buy a 10 dollar external sound card and still have a better deal than spending 120 bucks extra on a mobo)
