Gigabyte A320M-S2H (Socket AM4/A320/DDR4/S-ATA 600/Micro ATX)

Wifey’s PC had a total burnout the multi socket power lead was smoking and blackened, first I binned that. After several recovery solutions I relented and decided on a complete rebuild salvaging the GPU, SSD and hard drive - but I only wanted to spend less than £200. The A320 board paired with a Ryzen 3 1200 was less than £100. All well and good - the A320 is not really an overclocking beast but is small and will support the latest AMD cpus. It needs a dedicated GPU, the existing one is double width so will cover at least one SATA port. The original OS was Windows 7 - horror it does not boot with new tech there is no USB support for keyboard or mouse - luckily the A320 still has a legacy serial port (round socket) for a keyboard - working fine but had to shell out for Windows 10, still smarting over that. A well engineered board at a easy on the wallet price.

This board has all the necessary connections and takes the Corsair 16Gb matched and the Ryzen CPU very effectively for high performance A little more documentation to check panel would be good making it less scary but after checking previous board pin layout and at least this one has very clear markings and I could plug USB 3 cable and that leaves spare USB for front facility for camera Flash USB and SD card if only my case had more rive bays or if I could get a Drive Rack from Dexion but it does leave much space for placing fans and drives and locking down cables to prevent damage. Very good board and software drivers provided automated setup again. The dream is it all just ran up by itself in a short time and integrated with the CPU and then I added Graphics card enhancer software and Black Widow control software drivers. Wonderful screen speed when opening like a rasp file cutting through the procedures. Thank you. Great hardware. Integrates well with saved units.

Great matx motherboard, comes with support for 1st and 2nd gen ryzen cpus out if the box. Very cheap board at £45-ish but has a slew of features like a M.2 nvme slot, usb3.1 and other modern add-ons. The only things it lacks are 4 DIMM slots (it only comes with 2), no overclocking features at all, and no usb-c, but if you can live without those this board is amazing value. Unknown if ryzen gen 3 would be supported, but if you need a cheap board for gen 1 or 2, this is the one Update: changed 5 star to 4 star review. There is a flaw in the layout of the motherboard. There are 4 sata3 ports on there, but they are situated just under the pci-e 16x slot, meaning a graphics card install there would block at least 1 sata port. I have a GTX1050 ti installed and one of the ports is obscured. An Amd RX590 triple slot gfx card would prevent the use of three sata ports because of itms length and girth. Usually not a problem on other boards as the ports point outside to the back of the motherboard, but here they are facing up so you need to plug them in from the top. Terrible design here

Nice size micro atx board came with latest bios f23. Even tho i using a Ryzen 5 1500x. But hey it saves me updating it The bios is very super basic not for pc nerds or over clockers as the only setting you can change is xmp profile for ram everything is locked down. Which I don’t care as all I changed was xmp profile and graphic card to gen 3 speed decent buy well worth the price if you just want plug and play motherboard Ps come with a nvm2 slot for super fast ssd bonus

I bought this (Gigabyte A320M-S2H) for a budget build for a colleague's son. I used it with a Ryzen 5 1600, an EVGA GTX 1060 SC (single fan) and 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200MHz RAM. There are some limitations, but that's what you can expect at this price level. For example, only one system fan header and one CPU fan header. With three system fans, I had to use an adapter to give me more fan connectors. Also, the SATA ports are arranged in a way that long graphics cards could obscure some of them, but not a problem for me as I was using a short one. So this board is designed for builders on a budget and should suit the target market. Getting the memory to run at its advertised speed was easy. I just enabled XMP profile in BIOS. Incidentally, the BIOS version out the box was F50, so I didn't have to bother updating that for the aforementioned XMP. So there you have it; five stars, because it hits the spot with the target market. Still quite amazing that at this price you get an PCIe M.2 connector and support for fastish memory.

One thing AMD did right was make it so every revision of Ryzen was co.pativle with the AM4 boards. This board despite its age remains fully compatible with Ryzen up to 2019 though its likely unwise to drop a higher end ryzen 7/9 in as the power draw will likely be too high at its max boost speeds, limiting its capability somewhat. For the rest though it works great, has NVME compatibility which is a plus, comes (at the writing of this review) with the F40 BIOS when bought new making it compatible with Ryzen 1-3 gens, please note the later revisions will stop the Ryzen APUs from working

Beware, the board is often shipped with an outdated BIOS resulting in compatibility issues with the latest processors, despite being supported. I purchased this along with a Ryzen 3400G and found it would not POST. It turned out that in order for this processor to work on this board, the BIOS needs updating...but in order to update the board you need a lower spec processor which I didn't have...AMD do loan a processor for this but the turnaround time was not acceptable for the timeframe I had...so I ended up having to buy another lower spec CPU to get it to update...the funny thing is...once I had updated to the latest BIOS that lower spec CPU would no longer POST! Problems aside, the board now appears to work very nicely...but just keep in mind that if you want to use the later CPUs that you need to make sure the board is up to date!

A small form factor lends itself to building in most cases without any worry about the small size. As it is compatible with DDR4 memory, having only two RAM slots is not an issue for less demanding builds. It is durable and even when pressed harder to fit power connectors I did not worry about breaking it. Great product with AM4 socket hence Ryzen is available. Great price for a great product.

J'ai acheté cette carte pour du gaming pas cher Elle m'a permis de me faire une configuration pour faire tourner mon jeu en bonne qualité elle convient parfaitement pour une utilisation de bureau est son prix est raisonable

Chegou certinho, rápido, bem embalado e funcionando perfeitamente! Inclusive faço conteúdo de review de produtos, caso queira, pode me procurar pra tirar alguma dúvida ou saber mais sobre o produto.

Orta seviye am4 destekli kartların fiyat performans cihazlarından birisi. Dayanıklılık ve özellik konusunda fiyatını sonuna kadar hakediyor.

Mb di buona fattura, robusta, con uscita hdmi, formato microATX. Da migliorare l'ambiente UEFI in chiarezza, funzionalità e supporto mouse. Il disco driver provvede ad alcune interessanti utility. Nella confezione presenti due cavi sata. Per le specifiche tecniche consultate il sito cmq il socket è AM4 dunque supporta tutta la serie Ryzen e le APU serie A. Chipset di fascia bassa A320 che non supporta l 'overclock della CPU. Ottimo acquisto.

Lovely board. I had only one doubt i.e. regarding its compatibility with Ryzen 3600x. After installation, I switched on the system with my fingers crossed. Motherboard passed the post test, that moment is my favourite. Checked the BIOS, it's F51. For third gen Ryzen cpu we need F40 or higher. I am happy with the motherboard. Please make a note that this motherboard does not support cpu overclocking. It does support Ram overclocking. In addition, it supports nvme SSD with speed capped at 32GB/sec, i.e. This motherboard has pcie gen 3. Also, officially this motherboard does not support Ryzen 5000 series processor because of chipset limitations.
