This deal is back: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/614451

Copy paste from it:
Cheapest AM4 ITX mobo that is decent. Unlike A320, A520 now support precision boost overdrive. It has 6+2 phase VRM, a useable VRM heatsink, NVME ssd heatsink, three fan headers and ARGB header.
Buildzoid review in short good enough for processors that have a 65W TDP, use with a downdraft cooler.

(From the previous deal) only $10 post to Perth.

CPU support is limited to Ryzen 3000 (however NOT 3200G(E), 3400G(E)), Ryzen 4000, Ryzen 5000 series. you can see the list here: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/A520M-ITXac/index.asp#CPU

    Will this work with my gf and 2600 CPU??

    • Casomme on 26/05/2021 - 19:44

      Nope, Ryzen 3000 and above

    • celery juice on 26/05/2021 - 19:44

      2600 isnt on the compatibility list, but it might work if the BIOS version is old enough. Not so sure about your gf.

        Why would he take a chance on a CPU that is not on their official list? They are not supporting it with any Bios revision.

        • celery juice on 26/05/2021 - 20:27

          I've seen Zen+ CPUs work on current gen motherboards, but I agree, the chance isnt worth taking.

        Bios support for this board never included the 2600, i would be pretty certain it wont post

        • Pandabargain on 26/05/2021 - 22:21

          Can you recommend me a good bargain board ;)?

        Doubleful as i checked the latest bios and doesnt even have it in it. ive run stuff like 1600/1700s in x570s this way but theyre normally hidden in the bios

      I don't know if your girlfriend would approve

    • scud70 on 26/05/2021 - 20:01

      hmmm will the mother…. work with the gf… from experience this compatibility can get very tricky..

      Maybe you should just be more open and tell her you also want a new CPU

    • sp1rit99 on 26/05/2021 - 20:06

      might have some issues since this is a motherboard and not gfboard

    Just put together a build with this board. No issues. A win in my books at this price!

    Great deal considering ITX boards usually carry such a big price premium

  • aec on 26/05/2021 - 21:11

    I just finish watching the reviews for spud(the itx case, not sure if I spell correctly), and figured I just need an itx board. I can recycle other parts from my current matx system.

    May place the order tonight with the case.

      Spud? insert joke about running on a potato here

  • yak on 26/05/2021 - 22:15

    If you have a Ryzen 5000 series cpu, then you need at least bios ver. 1.10 pre-installed on the motherboard.

    There's no CPU-less BIOS flashing on this board, so you'd need to have an older AM4 CPU on hand, or pay a computer store to flash it for you, or lastly use ASRock/AMD/PCByte's RMA service.

    I'm going through that last option with an Asus X570-i Gaming ITX board. AMD have boot kits available (low end AM4 CPUs) on loan for exactly this through their RMA process. I'm waiting for mine to arrive now.

  • aec on 27/05/2021 - 00:16

    it doesnt have a front usb C… can anyone confirm?

    i am considering this SSUPD case https://www.pccasegear.com/category/25_2155/cases/ssupd-case…
