Miniature overclocking board with socket AM4

Despite the latest technology trends, many gamers still prefer tried-and-true components, especially when building entry-level PCs for Full HD gaming. Typical choices for these users include DDR4-3200 RAM, Ryzen 3600/5500 processors, and a compact AM4 motherboard. One such board is the Asus TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS II, which costs around 75 euros.

Best option for Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 processors

Asus TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS II, made in micro-ATX format based on the AMD A520 chipset, allows you to create a balanced and modern PC with support for up to 128 GB of RAM (max. frequency 4866 MHz), SSD drives, including M.2, efficient cooling and lighting Asus Aura Sync. The 8-phase power converter provides sufficient power for processors at the Ryzen 5 5600G level.

High-quality build and limited overclocking

The TUF series from Asus is known for its high-quality design approach: the use of heat-resistant components and improved cooling of VRM zones. However, the use of the A520 chip with PCI-E 3.0 support limits compatibility with the latest fast SSDs and graphics cards. It is also worth considering that the board is not intended for intensive overclocking.
