AM4 mATX motherboard for DDR4 systems

The GIGABYTE A520M K V2 uses the AMD B550 chipset on a micro-ATX board with an AM4 socket. It provides four 288-pin slots that support DDR4 memory up to 5333 MT/s and a maximum capacity of 128 GB. The layout includes three PCI Express 4.0 x16 slots, one PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, three x4 slots, three x1 slots and one legacy PCI slot.

Suits compact DDR4 builds with heavy storage needs

Builders who need many SATA ports will appreciate the fourteen 6 Gb/s connectors for large drive arrays. The rear panel offers ten USB 3.0 ports, two USB 3.1 ports, nine USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, RJ45, 6.3 mm audio and S/PDIF in and out. Wi-Fi 802.11 be is integrated. Users requiring DDR5 memory or an ATX form factor should consider other models.

Four DDR4 slots, 128 GB maximum, 5333 MT/s top speed

The memory subsystem is defined by four 288-pin slots, a 128 GB ceiling and a DDR4 5333 standard. This combination decides whether the board matches the planned CPU and memory kit.

Questions about this item

Will my DDR4-5333 memory run at its rated speed on the A520M K V2 with four 288-pin slots?

The board lists DDR4 5333 as its memory standard across four 288-pin slots, so compatible modules should operate at that frequency when the BIOS is set to the appropriate profile.

How can I confirm the 802.11 be wireless LAN is active after building the system?

Check Device Manager for a Wi-Fi 802.11 be adapter, then connect to a network and verify the link speed shows the expected throughput for that standard.

Does the box include SATA cables for the 14 SATA 6Gb/s ports, or must I buy them separately?

The supplied accessories are not detailed in the specifications, so plan to purchase SATA 6Gb/s cables separately for each drive you intend to connect.
