A rear I/O panel sports four USB 3.2 Gen 1 and two USB 2.0 ports, as well as a PS/2 combo port for connecting legacy mice or keyboards. DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D outputs accommodate displays, while an RJ45 port supports Gigabit Ethernet. Three 3.5mm audio ports are also present on the rear panel. The Gigabyte A520M DS3H AM4 Micro-ATX Motherboard utilizes the Realtek ALC887 audio codec and supports Windows 10 64-bit operating systems.
AMD A520 Chipset
This motherboard uses the AMD A520 chipset and is compatible with AMD Ryzen 5000 Series and 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs using the AM4 socket.
5+3 Phase Pure Digital VRM Solution with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs
This motherboard uses a 5+3 phase pure digital PWM + Low RDS(on) MOSFET design to support 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen CPUs. Delivering power to the motherboard's most energy-sensitive components, this design facilitates enhanced system performance and hardware scalability.
Realtek 8118 Gaming LAN
The Realtek 8118 LAN is a network chip with automatic bandwidth allocation to ensure network priority for games and other applications, as well as real-time network monitoring.
HDMI 2.1
Transfer multiple video streams and take advantage of a native 21:9 ratio, as well as Full HDR and HDCP 2.3 support.
Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5, users can ensure that their gaming PC stays cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and voltage-mode fans make the motherboard liquid-cooling friendly.
Fan Stop
Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Customize which fan stops, which sensor the readings are based off of, and at what temperature the fan stops.
Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow rate through the hybrid fan headers.
All hybrid fan headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device, whether fan or pump using PWM or voltage-mode control.
Smart Fan 5 Software
Choose from different modes to match your system usage preferences. For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
Gigabyte RGB Fusion
With an integrated intuitive user interface, the RGB Fusion 2.0 provides you with customized lighting effects across all supported devices. From motherboards and graphics cards to peripheral products, you can personalize your gaming rig with your own style and show off your build by sharing lighting profiles. In addition, a gaming mode makes the lighting effects interactive with select titles to bring you the most immersive gaming experience.
Gigabyte RGB Fusion APP
With the Gigabyte RGB Fusion mobile app, users can watch as they control the lighting within their gaming PC. This gives users ease of access as they try and adjust colors and speeds for different modes, without the need to be in front of a keyboard or monitor.
Audio Noise Guard
An audio noise guard separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.
Q-Flash Plus
With Q-Flash Plus, you don't need to install the CPU, memory, and graphics card, or enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file renamed to gigabyte.bin on the USB flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and you're good to go.
Gigabyte Double-Locking PCIe Bracket
Gigabyte's patented double-locking bracket design ensures secure installation of PCIe cards.
Solid-Pin Power Connectors
Solid pins provide a larger contact area for electricity, while a higher amount of metal sustains higher power and more heat, increasing durability and lifespan.
Sulfurization Protection
Sulfur compounds in the air can penetrate tiny onboard resistors creating chemical change and causing these resistors to open or short. If either one occurs the motherboard will fail to function. By equipping resistors with an anti-sulfur design Gigabyte extends protection one step further.
Gigabyte BIOS & App Center
BIOS
EASY MODE shows important hardware information on one page including CPU clock, Memory, Storage, and Fan. Add constantly used items to the favorite menu for quick access or check storage information for SATA, PCIe, and M.2 interfaces. The Changelog lists all changes before saving and exiting the BIOS and allows you to quickly review overall settings modifications. You can even view each load line calibration setting in an intuitive curve graph.
App Center
Choose any utility you want to install from App Center and keep updated with the latest utilities and driver versions.
EasyTune
EasyTune is a simple and easy-to-use interface that allows users to fine-tune their system settings or adjust system and memory clocks and voltages in a Windows environment. With Smart Quick Boost, one click is all it takes to automatically overclock your system, adding a performance boost when you need it the most.
@BIOS
The Gigabyte @BIOS app allows you to update your system's BIOS from within Windows using a graphical user interface. @BIOS can automatically download the latest version from the Gigabyte servers or you can update your BIOS from a file on your computer. @BIOS also allows you to save your current BIOS to a file, recover your previous BIOS from an image, and back up your BIOS to an image.
System Information Viewer
System Information Viewer is a central location that gives you access to your current system status. Monitor components such as the clock and processor, set your preferred fan speed profile, create alerts when temperatures get too high, or record your system's behavior.
