MSI A320M Pro-VH DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The MSI A320M Pro-VH is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on the AMD A320 chipset, designed for the AM4 socket platform. It supports 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processors, as well as Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics, 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen with Radeon Graphics, Athlon with Radeon Vega Graphics, and A-series and Athlon X4 desktop processors — making it a versatile foundation for a wide range of AMD-based desktop builds. Memory is handled by two DDR4 DIMM slots capable of holding up to 32 GB in total, running at JEDEC-standard speeds of 1866, 2133, 2400, or 2667 MHz, and up to 3200 MHz via A-XMP overclocking profiles in Click BIOS 5. Dual-channel memory architecture is supported, along with non-ECC UDIMM and ECC UDIMM (in non-ECC mode) modules. For graphics output, the board includes both a VGA port (maximum 2048×1280 at 60 Hz) and an HDMI 1.4 port (maximum 4096×2160 at 24 Hz), available when using a processor with integrated graphics. The single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot provides connectivity for a discrete GPU, while an additional PCIe 2.0 x1 slot handles expansion cards. Storage options include four SATA 6 Gb/s ports with support for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10, plus an M.2 Key-M slot that runs at PCIe 3.0 x4 (for Ryzen-based CPUs) or PCIe 3.0 x2 (for Athlon and A-series CPUs), alongside SATA 6 Gb/s. M.2 form factors supported are 2242, 2280, and 22110. Connectivity is strong for the segment: 6× USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (4 rear, 2 via internal header) and 6× USB 2.0 ports (2 rear, 4 via internal headers) are provided. Networking uses a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN controller. Audio is powered by a Realtek ALC892/ALC897 codec delivering 7.1-channel High Definition Audio. MSI's Core Boost technology optimizes power delivery for multi-core AMD CPUs, while Double ESD protection adds a grounding layer around mounting holes to guard against static discharge. The Total Fan Control feature in BIOS allows monitoring and adjustment of CPU and system fan speeds with up to four temperature targets.
