Gigabyte A520m S2h Motherboard Noir

No problems with a 4500 out of the box. Standard motherboard features

This is a good quality motherboard for those wanting a VR system on a budget. You have to give up having a USB-C connector and you only have 2 memory slots, but they take 32GB sticks. After putting a Geforce 3060 RTX video card and AMD Ryzen 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core CPU in it, I ran the Steam VR test and got an 11, high performance VR rating with 16,500 frames processed. I am happy with this product.

Teamed this A520M with a Ryzen 3 3100 CPU and Zotac GeForce GT710 video board. They were unstable. It would run for 30 seconds to 5 minutes and then crash. Every time it crashed it corrupted the hard drive, so a system restore was needed to get it to go again. Also did a clean install of Windows 10, 5 times. No luck. Without spare boards it was impossible to determine which of the three was the problem. So I sent all of them back for a refund. Too bad - this was a nice system. When it ran, it was extremely fast.
