<![CDATA[ASUS Prime A320M-K is a home motherboard and I would not recommend this motherboard for gaming or business.  This will be a review of the motherboard and a comparison to other low end home motherboards.
AsusTek Computer Inc. (stylised as ASUSTeK or ΛSUS) is a Taiwanese multinational computer and phone hardware and electronics company headquartered in Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan. Its products include desktops, laptops, netbooks, mobile phones, networking equipment, monitors, WIFI routers, projectors, motherboards, graphics cards, optical storage, multimedia products, peripherals, wearables, servers, workstations, and tablet PCs. The company is also an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). (AsusWiki)

The Prime A320M-K is one of ASUS’s older models that they still sell on the market. It comes fully equipped with the support needed on a home computer. The motherboard form factor is Micro ATX and measures quite small at 8.7″ x 8.9″.  Pertaining to the CPU and Memory aspects:

• CPU: AM4 CPU socket; compatible to Ryzen, Athlon, and A-Series processors
• Memory: 2×288pin memory slots, 32GB of supported memory, memory standard: DDR4 3200(O.C.)/ 2933(O.C.)/ 2666/ 2400/ 2133

Other onboard components:

• Integrated AMD Radeon R Series Graphics in the 7th Generation A-Series APU
• Realtek ALC887, 8 Channels
• LAN Chipset: Realtek RTL8111H, Max LAN Speed:10/100/1000Mbps
• 4 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray
• 4 x USB 3.0
• 2 x USB 2.0
• 1 x D-Sub Video Port
• 1 x PS/2 keyboard ,1 x PS/2 mouse
• 3 Audio Ports
• Expansion Slots:
  • 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
  • AMD Ryzen Processors: 1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 mode)
  • AMD 7th Gen A-series / Athlon Processors: 1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x8 mode)

I found this motherboard while searching through NewEgg for a new home motherboard at a low price. I stumbled across this motherboard and with a 3 star review decided to give it a chance. However, after using this motherboard for a few weeks I have to say that 3 stars was far to generous. After reading through more reviews, I realized other people had experienced the same problems I had. Reviewer Gregory R. put it perfectly when he stated,”Writing on board is hard to read. Says on Asus Website ” delivers outstanding overclocking capabilities for the latest AMD® AM4-socket Ryzen™ processors” but there is no option to overclock in BIOS.” This specific site holds the price at $59.99 but I regret paying even that little amount. I would not recommend this motherboard 2/10.
