AMD officially released the entry-level A620 chipset a few days ago, and finally pulled the Zen4 Ryzen 7000 series motherboard into the thousand yuan.
Of course, everyone is not small, losing key features such as PCIe 5.0 SSD, processor overclocking, performance loss when partnering with a processor above 65W, and the number and specifications of USB ports are also greatly reduced.
However, motherboard manufacturers always play tricks, such as Asustek’s A620, which quietly unlocked support for PCIe 5.0 SSD and processor PBO overclocking.
For example, on the TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS motherboard, HWiNFO64 can detect that PCIe 5.0 has been turned on, and supports a complete 4 channels with a maximum bandwidth of 32GT/s.
Of course, PCIe 5.0 SSDs are now rare and expensive, which seems to be incompatible with the target user group of the A620 motherboard, but in the long run, the AMD AM5 platform will persist for at least four or five years in the future. An upgrade is totally doable.
On another ASUS RPIME A620M-A motherboard, paired with a Ryzen 9 7900 12-core processor, after turning on the PBO function, the multi-core performance of CineBench R23 has increased by as much as 9%.
This is all picked up for nothing, without paying any cost, and without special manual adjustments, you can get the effect of overclocking, why not do it.
Of course, these practices conflict with AMD’s settings, and whether they can really let go depends on AMD’s attitude.
.
ASUS launched four A620 motherboards for the first time this time, covering two series of TUF GAMING e-sports agents and PRIME masters, namely TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS WIFI, TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS and PRIME A620M-A, PRIME A620M-A-CSM .
they haveTwo PCIe 4.0 M.2 ports and convenient buckle, DDR5-6400+ memory support and AEMP overclocking technology, Wi-Fi 6 wireless network card (partial) and 2.5G wired network cardFeatures such as BIOS one-key upgrade, two-way AI noise reduction, and Shenguang synchronization are also retained.
