Price: I got it super cheap Motherboard launch with Ryzen 3: You can simply install, for example, a Ryzen 3200g processor (the same as mine) and not worry about updating the BIOS. Upgrade possibility: there simply isn't any. For example, you cannot install 4 RAM sticks, Ryzen 5 series. Cooling of the motherboard and other components: also absent. There's not even a plate under the power phases and NVMe SSD. Vram temperature - it's really bothering me. When I play something, the vram has a VERY high temperature. Chipset. What's the point of having a B chipset here, if, for example, the processor can't be overclocked? ![]() |

Well, this is one of those cases when overpaying for a B chipset does not make much sense, since overclocking a processor with such a power supply is a dubious matter. Price, I managed to overclock the memory well here (3600MHZ), the motherboard sets up resistances quite well for peer-to-peer memory. The power supply is rather weak, the need for either a collective farm of radiators, or downvolting by offset (you can still lock the voltage) |

Witness not a bad mother works does not support XMP profile on RAM ![]() |
Also, when I wanted to compare the MSI A320M A Pro with this motherboard – 0 differences. Absolutely none! The same number of power phases, CPU power supply, and much more.
Why release such a poor motherboard that it's a copy of the MSI A320M-A PRO?
