WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

MSI PRO A620M-E

What it brings

  • Supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 Series processors, with DDR5 memory rated up to DDR5-6800+ (OC) and AMD EXPO.
  • HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K 60 Hz) and VGA outputs for processors with integrated graphics, plus four EZ Debug LEDs.

What to check

  • Two DDR5 slots limit memory to 128 GB, and there is only one M.2 slot, 1 Gb Ethernet and no Wi-Fi.

ASUS ROG STRIX B850-I GAMING WIFI

What it brings

  • 2 M.2 storage positions and 2 SATA connectors provide several drive-connection options.
  • 1 × Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7 offer both wired and wireless network connections.

What to check

  • Both M.2 slots support PCIe 5.0 x4 with Ryzen 9000/7000. Ryzen 8000 changes both connections to PCIe 4.0; check the exact processor's supported configuration.
  • Check the exact processor, BIOS and memory kit before purchase. The 128 GB ceiling and listed overclocking profiles are configuration limits, not a tested build guarantee.
  • Two DIMM positions mean a later capacity increase may require replacing both installed modules.
