Build a compact AM4 desktop with the core connections needed for everyday productivity and home computing. The AMD A520 chipset pairs compatible Ryzen processors with dual-channel DDR4 memory, while the Micro-ATX format fits suitable compact cases.
An Ultra M.2 socket supports PCIe Gen3 ×4 and SATA M.2 storage, alongside four SATA3 ports for additional drives. Gigabit Ethernet provides wired networking, and PCIe expansion lets you add a graphics card or other compatible hardware.

Compatibility and use
Check ASRock’s CPU and memory support lists before selecting components. A compatible processor with integrated graphics is required to use the motherboard display outputs; processors without integrated graphics require a discrete graphics card. Ryzen support depends on the exact processor and installed BIOS version.
