Product Information

The rest of the board includes fairly typical ITX fare, though just two SATA ports might be an issue for some. There are rumors about budget b650 boards coming out soon (no word on form factor) and someone is bound to make A620 eventually, but that does not spell more features.

All vital system sensors can be tracked in real time, allowing voltage readings, fan speeds, and temperature information to be displayed on the desktop or sent to dedicated displays or to the LCD panels of ROG AIO liquid coolers*.A specially-designed circuit separation reduces electromagnetic interference from the motherboard and attached devices for cleaner audio.

You'll absolutely need to update the BIOS before upgrading though, as the board lacks CPU-less BIOS flashback capability. MSI drop PCIe gen5 for gen4; it has fewer I/O USB connections and no S/PDIF, though it has been the cheapest option to date.And as I noted then, it's very much a niche extra, especially considering the rear I/O doesn’t include a standard DisplayPort. Max boost will vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to: thermal paste; system cooling; motherboard design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset driver; and the latest OS updates. The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, switching frequency and power-efficiency settings, allowing you to fine-tune CPU voltage regulation for ultimate stability and performance. PCIe 5 for SSDs is also very much overrated - you need either active cooling or an absurdly big cooler on the SSDs - otherwise they overheat and for any normal usage a PCIe 4 SSD is more than suitable. Sound Tracker – The Sound Tracker is a visual indicator that points out the directions from which predominant sounds are coming.
