The GIGABYTE A520M S2HP is a micro-ATX motherboard built on the AMD A520 chipset. It features an AM4 socket designed for AMD Ryzen 3000 Series processors. The board supports up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory across two DIMM slots. It is compatible with both unbuffered ECC and non-ECC modules and supports memory speeds up to 3200 MHz.
