Four DDR4 DIMM Slots
The GIGABYTE A520M DS3H features four DDR4 DIMM slots with dual-channel memory architecture. This provides greater flexibility when configuring or upgrading system memory compared with entry-level motherboards equipped with only two memory slots.
5+3 Phase Pure Digital VRM
The 5+3 phase pure digital VRM solution uses Low RDS(on) MOSFETs to provide stable power delivery for compatible AMD Ryzen processors and system components.
Ultra-Fast PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe M.2
An integrated PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 connector provides high-speed connectivity for compatible NVMe solid-state drives. This allows users to build responsive systems with fast operating system startup, application loading and file access.
GIGABYTE Gaming LAN with Bandwidth Management
GIGABYTE 8118 Gaming LAN provides wired Ethernet connectivity along with bandwidth management functionality designed to help manage network traffic for gaming, streaming and other connected applications.
HDMI, DisplayPort and DVI-D
Multiple display interfaces including HDMI, DisplayPort and DVI-D provide flexible monitor connectivity. Motherboard video outputs require a compatible AMD processor with integrated graphics.
RGB Fusion 2.0
GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0 provides support for compatible addressable LED and RGB LED strips, allowing users to customize and coordinate lighting within their desktop PC build.
Smart Fan 5 Cooling Management
Smart Fan 5 uses multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers to provide flexible cooling control. FAN STOP support can stop compatible fans under suitable operating conditions for quieter system operation.
Q-Flash Plus BIOS Updates
Q-Flash Plus provides a convenient method for updating the motherboard BIOS without requiring a processor, memory or graphics card to be installed. This can be particularly useful when preparing the motherboard for a supported processor that requires a newer BIOS version.
Important Compatibility Information
Before purchase, confirm that your intended AMD Ryzen processor is supported by the motherboard and installed BIOS version. Processor support may vary according to motherboard revision and BIOS version.
Memory speed and ECC functionality depend on the processor and installed memory modules. HDMI, DisplayPort and DVI-D motherboard outputs require a compatible AMD processor with integrated graphics.
