ASRock A520M-HVS Micro-ATX AM4 Motherboard DDR4 M.2
The ASRock A520M-HVS Micro-ATX AM4 Motherboard DDR4 M.2 is a compact Micro-ATX board designed for builders who want a straightforward, no-fuss platform for AMD Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series processors. It suits home and office systems where reliability, integrated graphics output, and solid audio matter more than extreme overclocking or multi-GPU capability. The board's 6-phase power design, Full Spike Protection, and High Density Glass Fabric PCB target builders who want a stable daily-use foundation without unnecessary complexity.
Why this product
AMD AM4 Ryzen 3000 & 5000 Support
Compatible with Ryzen 3000, 3000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 5000 and 5000 G-Series desktop processors on the AM4 socket, giving builders a wide CPU choice within a single platform.
Dual Display Outputs Built In
D-Sub and HDMI outputs are both included on the rear panel, with HDMI supporting 4K 60Hz — useful for builds using a Ryzen G-Series APU without a discrete GPU.
DDR4 Memory Up to 64 GB
Two DDR4 DIMM slots support dual-channel memory up to 64 GB, with speeds up to DDR4 4733+ when overclocked, accommodating a wide range of memory kits.
PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 Slot
The Ultra M.2 slot runs at PCIe Gen3 x4 or SATA3 and accepts 2242, 2260, and 2280 M-key drives, keeping the build tidy without sacrificing NVMe speed.
Full Spike Protection on All Ports
ASRock Full Spike Protection covers every USB, audio, and LAN port, guarding sensitive components against unexpected voltage surges.
7.1 CH HD Audio Onboard
A Realtek ALC887 codec delivers 7.1-channel HD audio, making it suitable for multimedia and home-theatre PC builds without a separate sound card.

- LANGigabit (Realtek RTL8111H)
- SKUASR-2055
- EAN4710483932311
- Fits AMD AM4 socket processors: Ryzen 3000, 3000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 5000 and 5000 G-Series desktop CPUs.
- Accepts standard DDR4 DIMMs (non-ECC, unbuffered) in two slots up to 64 GB total.
- Fits standard Micro-ATX cases and larger ATX cases with Micro-ATX tray compatibility.
- M.2 slot accepts M-key drives in 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors over PCIe Gen3 x4 or SATA3.
- Display outputs (D-Sub, HDMI) require a Ryzen G-Series APU with integrated graphics; a discrete GPU with its own outputs is needed for non-G CPUs.
- Does not support Intel processors or any other socket type.
Best for
- Budget AM4 builds using Ryzen G-Series APUs that rely on integrated graphics and onboard display outputs.
- Home and office PCs that need stable daily operation, 7.1 CH audio, and Gigabit LAN without extra expansion cards.
- Compact builds where a Micro-ATX footprint is required and a single PCIe x16 slot is sufficient.
- Builders adding an NVMe SSD who want a PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 slot alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports for additional storage.
- USB-heavy front-panel setups benefiting from six USB 3.2 Gen1 ports across rear and header connections.
Trade-offs
- Multi-GPU or high-end GPU builds that need more than one PCIe x16 slot — only one is available.
- Serious memory overclocking enthusiasts — the A520 chipset does not natively support CPU overclocking beyond memory OC profiles.
- Workstation builds needing ECC memory — no ECC support is indicated in the specification.
- Builders needing multiple M.2 slots — only one M.2 socket is provided.
- Wi-Fi-dependent setups — no wireless LAN is included; only a wired Gigabit LAN port is on board.
AMD AM4 Ryzen 3000/5000 series, 6-phase power, DDR4 4733+ OC, D-Sub/HDMI, 7.1 CH Realtek audio, M.2 Gen3x4, 6 USB 3.2 Gen1, Gigabit LAN.
Supports the most recent HDMI 4K 60Hz graphics output specification. With the larger bandwidth and increased frame rate, the motion on your screen becomes more fluid and less blurry. Complete with two types of most used connectors! Packed with a D-Sub + HDMI combo, you have more graphics output options now.
Compared to traditional chokes, ASRock's premium 50A power chokes effectively make the saturation current up to three times better, thus providing enhanced and improved Vcore voltage to the motherboard.
High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity.
Pure black PCB appearance. The new Sapphire Black PCB represents rock-solid quality and gives the motherboard a more mysterious touch.
Some sensitive digital components on the motherboard are vulnerable to power surges, the excessive current may cause your system to malfunction immediately. ASRock Full Spike Protection includes various technologies to prevent your motherboard's components from being damaged by these unexpected voltage spikes.
ASRock Live Update & APP Shop is designed for your convenience. We provide various apps and support software for users to download. You can also easily optimize your system and keep your motherboard up to date with ASRock Live Update & APP Shop.
