GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H (AMD Ryzen AM4/MicroATX/2xDDR4/HDMI/Realtek ALC887/3xPCIe/USB3.1 Gen 1/LAN/Motherboard)

La es una opción sólida para quienes buscan una placa base económica para tareas básicas o de oficina. Si planeas utilizar procesadores de la serie 3000 o 5000, asegúrate de que la BIOS esté actualizada antes de la compra. Además, ten en cuenta las limitaciones en términos de expansión y compatibilidad con SSD NVMe.

I prefer to use desktop whenever possible while surfing the internet and I just needed something that I could put a cheap Ryzen G series in, install Ubuntu, and go online. This does the job and has been going strong for the past few years.

I've never built anything around a Gigabyte board, so, I thought I would pick up a cheap board to experiment with. What a nice surprise! I received a Version 3.0 board with BIOS version F1 installed, and I dropped in an AMD Athlon 200GE along with a couple of Corsair 8 GB 3200MHz DDR4. Everything fired up with no issues. I did update the BIOS to the latest version (F2). It was quite easy to bring the RAM speed up to 3200MHz, it was defaulted at 2133MHz.Updating the BIOS was a little bit of pain in the butt, because for some reason the build was seeing the board version as x.xx rather than 3.0. So, while trying to flash the BIOS using Q-Flash the new version was seen as being an "Invalid BIOS Image." I'm assuming that it was due the system not recognizing the the MOBO version. I was able to update the BIOS using @BIOS through the "Gigabyte APP Center." Wow, that's the first time I ever flashed a BIOS through Windows, but it worked!Over all it is a nice board for the price. It is a little on the thin side, but there really weren't any issues. The CPU is being water cooled, and the board is performing quite well. I'm not a Gamer, but do play Minecraft with my Grandson through a realm.On my next build I'm definitely going to go with a higher end Gigabyte board. This little board made me a believer! Sorry MSI, and ASUS...

Overall, my board seems to work mostly fine but not without issue. Haven't had issues with network adapter yet but if it pops up I'll mark it down.EDIT: RAM clock speeds are fine. After some research I found that RAM doesn't automatically clock to the manufacturers' specs right out of the box and often rarely ever does. Had to turn on XMP in the Memory Clock option in BIOS, now she's running full 3200. Sorry if my lack of knowledge hurt but hopefully this informs people better on their purchase and confusion.(This section is not accurate, but I leave it here to showcase my own stupidity and how to overcome it)RAM clock speed reads some weird number that's wayyyy under the as the advertised maximum of 3200, something like 2143 or whatever, even though I'm using 2 sticks of DDR4@ 3200. I feel like it's causing hiccups in higher-demanding processes but I'm still pretty new to the enthusiast market so I'm not entirely certain, but I've seen this gripe a few times and felt I should also leave a note about it.Pretty ok board for a beginner, supports "up to" 3000 models means the best chip you can throw in here is like a 2600x which isn't BAD, but not a tremendous amount of headroom for upgrades should you be inclined to do so. Hopefully I am just misinformed on this, but then again for a >$100 that's still a good range for upgrades.Guess you get what you pay for... for the money it does fine, but I wouldn't buy another one.

Pros:- Came with the latest drivers (meaning ryzen 3000 support out of the box)- Easy to build in- AM4 socket so you have a lot of upgrade options available in the future- Supports nvme hard drives- InexpensiveCons:- 2 memory slots instead of 4- you can't overclock- connection available for only one system fanI used this motherboard to do a budget build for my 10 year old nephew. I installed 16gb of ram + ryzen 5 1600 cpu + rx 480 gpu. Building on the motherboard itself was easy enough. After i hooked everything up I was ready to update the bios but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it already had the latest bios meaning it should work with the ryzen 3000series. I assume if you're looking at the motherboard you're doing a budget build because if you're using high end parts, it might be better to use a more expensive motherboard. You can't overclock in this one though i doubt my 10 year old nephew will be doing any of that. It also has 2 ram slots instead of 4 but for the price you really can't complain.Overall i'd recommend this motherboard if you're looking to do a budget build with room to upgrade parts in the future. With the build mentioned above my nephew's PC can do most games at 1080p high to ultra settings at 60fps+. We haven't had the motherboard too long but I'll definitely update the review if something weird happens or it dies.

Recomendado

Fyi these mobos are updated by the manufacturer to the very latest bios (or close to it) so they should be able to handle the very latest Ryzen cpus that are 5000 and below. However with the cheap chipset I would recommend the Ryzen 5 3600 to pair and it works perfectly. I got a decent pc build for under 300 bucks (although I already had a gpu from a previous computer). Manufacturer should state in the info that these boards are on the f55 bios. Love this board, great deal!Edit: watch out for the cpu backplate on this! It is completely loose. Mount ram first then cpu to avoid any issues. The amd Logo on the cooler has a significant overhang.
