Gigabyte A520I AC Motherboard - Supports AMD Ryzen 5000 Series AM4 CPUs, 6 Phases Digital VRM, up to 5300MHz DDR4 (OC), 1xPCIe 3.0 M.2, WIFI, GbE LAN, USB 3.2 Gen1

I had an Asrock B350 ITX motherboard with a 5600g and 2 monitors. I wanted to add a 3rd monitor, so I bought the 520I. I like the no fuss design and the general layout is very good. I'm running 2 NVME drives, one onboard and the other using a Sabrent PCIe card. It had the latest F15 BIOS installed which was useful. The temperatures are well under control in my very small ITX case. It's not Wi-Fi 6 but that doesn't matter to me as I only ever use wired lan on a desktop. All in all, the Gigabyte A520I AC is fantastic value for the money.

Works with no issues thus far. Ran the 5700G with no need for BIOS alterations etc. Everything as advertised if there any changes will update this review.

Hopefully this is useful for those who hate the state of motherboard/BIOS revisions/combo's for Ryzen processors! I seemed to have borked my Asus ROG Strix B450-I board after updating the BIOS to support a newly purchased 5700G. Damn thing wouldn't POST and after flashing it wasn't possible to roll back to (re-)support my trusty Ryzen 2700. I took a chance on this cheap motherboard and I am glad I did. The board shipped was Rev1.1 and came with the F10 BIOS which supports most of the gaming spec. Ryzen 5000 series. Strictly, my 5700G isn't supposed to be supported until F13 but it worked out of the box, so I have just left it. I CBA with overclocking and the like nowadays, seems little point when processors are way ahead of most intended use cases, but if you need/want those features you'll need to step up to the B550 chipset. The board will do XMP on the memory, but you can't overclock. Overall a cheap and cheerful motherboard, with little bells and whistles, but still recommended. n.b. One other thing to note - this board does not support Ryzen 3200G/3400G!

Everything you need for a nice Itx gaming setup. Paired with R5 5600 and 3060ti in a tiny case 👌

Was really easy to install, had to upgrade the firmware using an USB key as apparently was not compatible with my 5600X straight from the box. (V1.3)

It's a significant improvement. It's fast and stable.

motherboard works but slow wifi

Pefect.

Been running as a homeserver for over 7 months in a row without a single hickup! Together with a Ryzen 5 4600G

Im Juli 2022 gekauft, läuft sehr gut und stabil mit einem AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, Noctua NH-L9a-AM4, 32GB 4400er Ripjaws und einer 1TB NVMe in meinem ITX System. Was ich zu jenem Zeitpunkt nicht auf dem Schirm hatte, PCIe 4.0 gibt es erst ab Chipsatz 550. Und was mir im Nachhinein noch aufgefallen ist, auch wenn es von Amazon UK versendet wurde und Neu war das die passive Kühlerplatte für die NVMe gar nicht dabei war und fehlte (im Bild gelbe Markierung). Hatte mich damals schon über die Verpackung gewundert, und mit UK sowieso nicht so gute Erfahrungen gesammelt. Aber da ich eine bessere Kühlleistung der NVMe (Thermalright HR-09 2280 PRO) schon vorab hatte, ist mir dies erst vor kurzem aufgefallen als ich das Bild nochmals sah. Trotz dessen ist das Board für kleine Systeme zu empfehlen.

Working fine

Pour monter une petite machine compacte sans se faire dépouiller, cette GIGABYTE A520I AC est une véritable pépite ! Compatibilité au top : Elle prend en charge la série des Ryzen 5000 directement, zéro galère pour boot avec un CPU récent. Connectivité complète : Le Wi-Fi et le Bluetooth intégrés sur une carte Mini-ITX à ce prix, c'est clairement le gros point fort. Pas besoin de squatter un port PCI-E avec une carte d'extension, la connexion est stable et réactive en jeu. Agencement du PCB : Tout est bien placé malgré le format réduit. Le slot M.2 NVMe est bien accessible et le câblage dans un petit boîtier se fait hyper proprement.Une carte mère Mini-ITX ultra solide, fiable et parfaite pour se faire un setup SFF efficace sans vider son compte en banque. Foncez les yeux fermés !

non ha troppi compromessi e' una buona scheda madre per mini itx specialemte per chi come me e' alle prime armi. unica pecca e' nel mio caso e che il socket dei pin dell'alimentazione porta usb si e' staccato ma niente di grave, funziona tutto, i prezzi rimangono un po elevati in italia
