ASRock A520M-ITX/ac AM4 Mini-ITX Motherboard Wi-Fi 5
The ASRock A520M-ITX/ac is a compact Mini-ITX motherboard for AMD Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series processors, designed for builders who need WiFi and video output in a space-constrained build. It combines dual graphics outputs, onboard WiFi 5, and enough storage connectivity for a small system without requiring add-on cards.
Why this product
Dual graphics outputs for flexibility
Both HDMI 4K 60Hz and DisplayPort 1.4 connectors let you run dual monitors or choose the best output for your display without adapters.
WiFi 5 and Bluetooth built in
802.11ac wireless with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands plus Bluetooth 4.2 eliminate the need for a separate WiFi card in tight cases.
NVMe and SATA storage on one board
The single M.2 slot supports both PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe drives and SATA M.2 modules, paired with four SATA3 ports for traditional drives or RAID.
Compact Mini-ITX form factor
Fits in small cases and builds where larger ATX or micro-ATX boards won't work, without sacrificing core connectivity.

- EAN4710483932045
- AMD Ryzen 3000, 3000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 5000 and 5000 G-Series processors with AM4 socket.
- DDR4 memory up to 64 GB (32 GB per DIMM) with overclocking support to DDR4 4733+.
- M.2 NVMe drives up to PCIe Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) and M.2 SATA3 modules.
- Older AM3, AM3+ or Ryzen Threadripper processors—this board is AM4 only.
- PCIe Gen4 or Gen5 graphics cards or NVMe drives—the single expansion slot is PCIe 3.0 x16.
Best for
- Compact builds in Mini-ITX cases where space is the priority.
- Wireless networks without add-on WiFi cards, using built-in 802.11ac and Bluetooth.
- Budget-conscious Ryzen 5000 builds that need basic overclocking and RAID support.
- Systems needing HDMI and DisplayPort together for dual-monitor setups.
Trade-offs
- High-end graphics cards demanding more than PCIe 3.0 x16 bandwidth.
- NVMe-heavy builds—only one M.2 slot limits fast storage expansion.
- Threadripper or older Ryzen generation systems outside AM4 socket compatibility.
- Motherboards requiring PCIe Gen4 or Gen5 for next-generation performance.
Supports AMD AM4 Socket Ryzen™ 3000, 3000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 5000 and 5000 G-Series Desktop Processors. Supports DDR4 4733+ (OC). 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16. Graphics Output: DisplayPort, HDMI. 7.1 CH HD Audio (Realtek ALC887/897 Audio Codec). 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors. 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket.
Conventional PC systems processor can only access a fraction of graphics memory and limits system performance. With AMD Smart Access Memory, the data channel gets expanded to harness the full potential of GPU memory, removes the bottleneck and increase performance.
This motherboard has a pair of onboard Type-A and Type-C USB 3.2 Gen1 ports built on the rear i/o for supporting next generation USB 3.2 Gen1 devices and to deliver up to 5 Gbps data transfer rates. Complete with two types of most used connectors! Packed with a HDMI + DisplayPort combo, you have more graphics output options now. 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.
Compared to traditional chokes, ASRock's premium 60A power chokes effectively make the saturation current up to three times better, thus providing enhanced and improved Vcore voltage to the motherboard.
No one has time for weak WiFi signals and sluggish internet! That's why this motherboard comes with a 802.11ac WiFi (2.4G / 5G WiFi) module which supports wireless networks and Bluetooth. The PCIe Gen3 x4 Ultra M.2 interface pushes data transfer speeds up to 32Gb/s. In addition, it also supports SATA3 6Gb/s M.2 modules.
