It is not the best out there
It probably won't overclock well

ASUS Rolls Out the Prime A320I-K Mini-ITX Motherboard

ASUS today rolled out an entry-level mini-ITX motherboard for the AMD socket AM4 platform, the Prime A320I-K. Based on the AMD A320 chipset, the board supports 1st and 2nd generation Ryzen processors out of the box, including the 8-core models. The tiny A320 chipset is tucked away behind a metal...

A320 chipset doesnt support CPU overclocking, only memory overclocking

Finally a proper budget Ryzen motherboard. Should support the new APUs as well - just hope it supports iGPU overclocking and DDR4-3200. If so, this would be fantastic value for money.

I've been using Haswell for 5-6 years.

For $60, I'll buy it even if it's in Noctua brown.

the way the headers on this board are laid out is super satisfying

Agreed. Also, four 4-pin fan headers on an ITX board? Why can't we have that many on premium boards?

I almost want to buy this board just for that feature - though an A320 board wouldn't quite do in my main PC, I would love that kind of on-board fan goodness. This is definitely a strong candidate for my upcoming HTPC, I just need to see some reviews to check whether it supports iGPU OC. If so, it's a shoo-in.

But they could update their cpu support list

It only lists Athlon 240GE for now.

Does anyone have it? What do you guys think?

I'm thinking of buying it with a Ryzen 7 2700.
And since the Ryzen 7 2700 runs up to 4.1GHz anyway it doesn't matter that this mobo doesn't support overclock.
