The Gigabyte A520M K V2 motherboard is a solid choice for my AMD Ryzen 5000 CPU. It supports fast DDR4 memory and has a good M.2 slot for my SSD.Installation was easy, and all the ports work well, including USB 3.2 and Ethernet. Great value for a dependable AM4 motherboard.

So i decided to upgrade my system that i built over 10 years ago - a FX 8350, a ROG Crossfire V with 16gig of Vengance RAM. Not a bad system for 2014, but sadly it was showing its age.As a nurse I live off of scraps I manage to forage from bushes and rainwater i syphon from the gutter, so cash is generally at a premium (tiny violin). This meant that an all singing, all dancing, mummy & daddy, rich kid, system that i could show off on youtube was not within my means. I opted for a midrange upgrade that I would supliment with a decent graphics card later (still holding onto my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960). I set a budget of about £280 and did some basic research, decided on a Ryzen 5 5500,32 gig of RAM and a fancy pcie SSD for the OS (my old system was so out of date it wouldnt run Win11). This just left about £90 for the motherboard, I checked out the boards in this price range and decided on this one. I checked all the specs and all the bits seemed to like eachother so i invited them all to the amazon party.I'm old, i mean ancient. I remember taking my first computer apart in 1997 - a pentium 1 (133Mhz!) with 32 meg of ram. I just wanted to see how it worked.I've been faffing with Pc building ever since - being skint and into tech makes you get good at PC repair so I have generally been good at cobbling systems together. This is just as well because after about an hour of taking all my shiny, new PC bits out of the box, cleaning my old case, setting up the fans, and slotting all the new bits in and finally switching it on, nothing happened! Ziltch, nada, nix, WTF! The PSU didn't tun on, I couldnt see any lights, no fans, nothing. Ok, so I read one of the reviews here (cheers bud) who said that he needed to flash the bios on his machine because it didn't recognise his new processor. I read that you need to unplug and take out everything apart from the motherboard and processor power connectors but take the processor, ram and anything else out before you use the internal qflash button. Luckily I had already downloaded the latest bios and unzipped it to a thumb drive (renaming it gigabite.bin) and so i ripped all the bits out and inserted it into the qflash usb port. I pressed the button... Nothing! WTF indeed. Ok, so now the faffing really began. I reset the CMOS manually, tried it again and the fan kind of started and stopped a bit. In desperation I put all the bits back in and tried again. For some reason this seemed to work (kind of). I was able to install windows and everything looked good, but ouch, the system started to crash, just turn itself off. WTAF! Ok, so I downloaded the gigabyte apps including the bios app and used that to flash the bios from my thumb drive. About 10 minutes of sweating later It had flashed to the latest bios version.2 days on and I have had no problems, everything is running as it should. Beware dear reader, this board may need some faffing, you have been warned.
