ASUS Unveils TUF Gaming A620-PRO WiFi ATX Motherboard

[btarunr]

ASUS today unveiled the TUF Gaming A620-PRO WiFi, a Socket AM5 motherboard based on the entry-level AMD A620 chipset. When ASUS debuted its A620 motherboard lineup, it lacked a product in the ATX form-factor, and its top motherboard model at the time was the Micro-ATX TUF Gaming A620M-Plus WiFi. The new A620-PRO WiFi is feature-packed, and looks like a product from a segment above. It draws power from a combination of 24-pin ATX, and 8+4 pin EPS, and although you don't get CPU overclocking support with this chipset, there's plenty of CPU power delivery for even 12-core and 16-core processors. A 13-phase VRM conditions power for the processor.

The Socket AM5 is wired to four DDR5 DIMM slots, a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 slot, and two CPU-attached M.2 NVMe slots, each with PCI-Express 4.0 x4 wiring. A PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot (electrical Gen 3 x2), and two Gen 3 x1 slots wired to the A620 FCH, make for the rest of the expansion feature-set. Besides the CPU-attached M.2 NVMe slots, you get four SATA 6 Gbps ports from the A620 chipset for storage. Display connectivity includes a DisplayPort and HDMI. Networking connectivity consists of a 2.5 GbE wired Ethernet driven by a Realtek 8125 series controller; and 802.11ax (WiFi 6), with Bluetooth 5.3 (possibly an Intel WLAN module). USB ports include two 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-A, two 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 type-A and type-C, and four 5 Gbps ports via two internal USB 3.2 headers or internal ports, besides a handful USB 2.0 headers. The onboard audio solution is driven by an entry-level Realtek ALC892 CODEC, with 7.1-channel analog jacks. The motherboard offers USB BIOS Flashback. The company didn't reveal pricing.

So another overpriced Shitsus offering given their other TUF A620M offering cost around Euros150.

Edit: In India TUF A620M Plus costs similar to TUF X570 Plus while A620M is heavily castrated in terms of connectivity.

Looks like a decent board to me. Yes it's limited compared to the higher-end chipsets, but thats to be expected.

Higher prices in your country compared to the US/Taiwan/China is due to your country's trade and import policies + retailer margin. So if you don't like the price, take it up with your government.

For a 620 chipset this board looks really solid, sadly i dont see price tag.

 

[SandyBridgeEnjoyer]

man I wish this was $130 or lower in the USA given how good of an A620 this is

 

[Fergutor]

Very nice! ...as long as it is actually priced correctly...

But weird that here in the TPU article specify the audio codec but not in the Asus page.

I can't wait to watch GNs video about Asus customer support regarding the burned boards and X3Ds. Looks like a dumpster fire again.........this board however looks okay, but probably is overpriced again.

 

[Tek-Check]

Nice. Has anyone tested it yet?

Most of the time, the “cheap” boards don't get sampled, and the editors need to buy them directly. Maybe we get lucky here.

Gen 3 x 2 with dual Gen 3 x 1, eh? A 3.0 x 4 might have been more useful despite making the bottom of the board a bit barren (of course current gen GPUs are big enough to hide most any number of slots)?

Can't tell of their efficiency, but I like the VRM design on the latest TUF MB !

Such of a great A620 Motherboard ive never seen before it would be cheap as 150$,
my Asrock B550 SL have an insane 10 Gbit USB-C on the backpanel, 3x M2 (1x PCIe 4, 2x 3.0 one with 2 Lanes) for about 120$

Generally prices here in India do tend to fair compared to Europe but its the whole overpriced A620 boards from this single brand which kill the purpose of entry level chipsets for cheap PC builds when you can go with flagship chipset from previous gen or mid-range board from current gen.

Buy from a different brand then.

Why is the second full length slot 2 lanes instead of 4?
