ASRock A620M-HDV/M.2 (AM5/AMD A620/mATX/Single M.2/Entry-Level AM5) Review
The A620M-HDV/M.2 is ASRock's entry point into the AM5 platform, giving budget builders a path onto Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 while keeping HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for APU-based builds that rely on integrated graphics.
ASRock does not officially disclose an exact phase count or amperage figure for this board's VRM, and as with all A620 boards, CPU overclocking is not supported regardless of VRM capability. Two DDR5 DIMM slots run in dual-channel mode, keeping this board's memory subsystem in line with typical entry-level AM5 conventions. A single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot handles the GPU, and this board includes one M.2 slot supporting PCIe Gen3 or Gen4 SSDs depending on the specific drive installed. Gigabit Ethernet handles wired networking without a factory Wi-Fi module. Audio uses a Realtek codec typical of entry-level boards, and HDMI/DisplayPort outputs support APU-based builds using integrated graphics. Against the ASRock A620M-HDV/M.2+ also in this catalog, the base HDV/M.2 model includes one fewer M.2 slot, making the "+" variant the better choice for builders who anticipate needing a second SSD down the line.
