The ASRock A620M-HDV/M.2 is a Micro ATX motherboard designed to support AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series processors utilizing the AM5 socket. This motherboard is positioned as an affordable option compared to higher-end chipsets like the B650, making it suitable for budget-conscious users looking to build a gaming or multimedia PC.
Processor and Memory Support: This motherboard supports AMD Socket AM5 Ryzen™ 7000 Series processors and features two DDR5 memory slots. It can accommodate up to 96GB of RAM with the highest capacity modules currently available, although many premium motherboards typically offer four slots for increased expandability. The A620M-HDV/M.2 supports DDR5 memory speeds of up to 6400+ MHz (overclocked).
Power Delivery: The power delivery system on the A620M-HDV/M.2 consists of a 4+1+1 power phase configuration, utilizing Dr.MOS technology. The Vcore section includes four power stages rated at 50A each, providing a total capacity of 200A for CPU and GPU cores. This setup is adequate for standard usage but may limit overclocking potential compared to more robust models.
Expansion Slots: In terms of expansion capabilities, the A620M-HDV/M.2 features one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for additional graphics cards or other expansion cards. The M.2 slot configuration includes one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot for high-speed SSDs and a secondary M.2 slot that supports either SATA or PCIe 3.0 x2 connections, limiting speeds to approximately 2GB/s.
Storage Options: For traditional storage devices, this motherboard provides two SATA600 connectors in its base model, while the enhanced M.2+ version offers four SATA connectors arranged at an angle on the side of the board.
Connectivity: The rear I/O panel includes four USB-A ports (two at USB 2.0 speed and two at USB 3.2 Gen1 speed), along with one USB-C port also supporting USB 3.2 Gen1 speeds. Video output options are available through HDMI or DisplayPort connections, allowing integration with integrated graphics from compatible CPUs.
Audio and Networking: The audio subsystem is powered by a Realtek ALC897 codec capable of delivering 7.1 channel HD audio output, complemented by Nahimic Audio technology for enhanced sound quality during gaming or multimedia playback. Networking is facilitated through a Realtek Gigabit LAN controller.
Additional Features: One notable feature of this motherboard is its lack of integrated I/O shield; users will need to install a separate shield into their case, which reflects its budget-oriented design philosophy.
In summary, the ASRock A620M-HDV/M.2 motherboard offers essential features for building an entry-level gaming or multimedia PC while maintaining affordability without compromising too much on performance or connectivity options.
