MSI PRO A620M-E (AM5/AMD A620/mATX/DDR5-6400+ OC/Entry-Level AM5) Review
The PRO A620M-E is MSI's entry-level AM5 board for Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 builds, distinguishing itself from other A620 competitors with a relatively high DDR5-6400+ memory overclocking ceiling despite its budget positioning.
MSI does not officially disclose an exact phase count or amperage figure for this board's VRM; as with all A620 boards, CPU overclocking is unsupported regardless of the VRM design. Two DDR5 DIMM slots run in dual-channel mode, with MSI's Memory Boost feature enabling overclocked speeds of 6400 MT/s and above, competitive for an entry A620 board. A single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot handles the GPU, and one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot covers primary storage on this entry-level board. Gigabit Ethernet handles wired networking without a factory Wi-Fi module. Audio runs through 7.1-channel HD audio, with the exact codec model not disclosed by MSI. Against the MSI PRO A620M-B also in this catalog, the A620M-E is the earlier of MSI's two A620 boards, with the A620M-B offering an updated CPU support list extending through Ryzen 9000.
