Gigabyte A520I AC (AMD Ryzen AM4/Mini-ITX/Direct 6 Phases Digital PWM with 55A DrMOS/Gaming GbE LAN/Intel WiFi+Bluetooth/NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2/3 Display Interfaces/Q-Flash Plus/Motherboard)

Fits in the palm of your hand. Great product; no complaints. Instructions should be included for first time builders since I could not boot off the first screen, until I figured out what to do. "Press Y to reset fTPM"

So far everything has been great. Mine shipped with the latest bios f15( bios update utility would go any farther). I'm having some weird stuff going on with my nvme ssd. Might be because of the drive I'm using ( crucial p3 1tb pcie x3) but read speeds are low. Not sure why though. Tried getting all drivers loaded and that helped a little. It might be the drive I bought too no idea. Other wise the motherboard is great. The mother board power connector is shifted down from the usual spot so that helped me with my nouvolo steck case. I love having three fan headers too. Downside is the 3rd connector sucks because you need an adapter cable to use it ( it comes with it). Just make sure you don't loose it hahaha. Currently I am running a 5600g, 16gb of ddr4 @3200mhz, and a rtx 3090. Having the GPU and cpu water cooled in a custom loop. Powered it with a Corsair sf750. It's my mini portable rig when I wanna game at a friend's house, host a server, or play in my bedroom( bigger more powerful rig is in the living room). Mini itx boards are the best! No RGB on the board itself to indicate anything for post. But it does have headers for RGB and a speaker. Like some other reviewers had some issues with a different set of ram running at xmp. But that kit might be a dud. It doesn't run anymore in my main rig. It'll be designated to package opening duties.

The cost of miniITX builds is creeping up as it becomes a niche market for gamers, but the truth is no body likes chonky computers. After putting off an Intel rebuild of one of my HTPCs over and over I strayed into the AMD realm and found two things, a range of affordable APUs (Ok no surprise here, I knew they were good on this front) but also quality mITX boards like this for under $100. I ended up being pleasantly surprised with how much power I ended up with here vs any old intel cpu build I would have done at any where near the same cost. The gigabyte board doesn't feature much for the performance enthusiast and it lacks anything but the most basic VMU cooling, but it still has all the things we should expect from any and every motherboard we buy today. Quality brand components, a GUI based bios, enough fan headers, Wifi, usb3.x ports galore. Of course a big score for the AMD crowd is the AM4 socket just supports several generations of CPUs allowing you to choose one for your budget. Oh and finally I think one of the biggest scores on this motherboard is the 2.x hdmi. I found all the inexpensive intel boards rolled around with 1.4 hdmi ports, but I needed something capable of 4k HDR 60hz.

Just wanted a small form factor motherboard, to do the job, and it delivers. Pairs great with my 5600G and handy in a small itx case.

Very durable
