ASUS Reveals Pricing and Availability of its A520 Motherboards, Sets New DDR4 Frequency Record
August 20, 2020
ASUS, one of the leading DIY PC manufacturers in the world, has recently made public the release of its A520 motherboards. The new budget-friendly ASUS motherboards for the Ryzen 3000 series processors will have PCIE 3.0 and 32MB flash ROM.
As we’re accustomed to, ASUS will definitely have a handful of budget-friendly A520 motherboards. And based on their official website, ASUS has three Prime A520 motherboards: Prime A520-A, Prime A520-E, and Prime A520-K. While their TUF line will only have one A520 motherboard variant, the TUF Gaming A520M-Plus.
So if you are looking to get an A520 motherboard that’s equipped with all the essentials that one needs from a motherboard then better set your eyes on the ASUS Prime A520 lineup. But if you’re looking for an A520 motherboard that has the looks and feel of a higher-ranked gaming motherboard, then you might find the ASUS TUF Gaming A520M-Plus appealing. It’s equipped with a VRM heatsink and an armored PCIe slot.
Aside from the announcement of their A520 lineup, ASUS has also set a new DDR4 Memory frequency world record with their Strix B550-I Gaming, enabling the memory frequency to go as high as 6666MHz. BIANBAO XE was able to accomplish this feat using AMD’s Ryzen 7 4700GE and Crucial Ballistix Max memory. The record was verified by HWBOT on August 18, 2020.
