ASRock A620I Lightning WiFi AMD AM5 Mini-ITX Motherboard, Supports AMD Ryzen 9000/8000/7000 Series Processors, DDR5 7200+ (OC)

This is my first AMD build since my old FM3 build I did many years ago. I love building in SFF cases and since I've always had good luck with ASRock motherboards I figured I would give this one a shot. I am building in a Thermaltake Tower 200 case and while the case is a bigger SFF case its not without its issues. I paired this board with a 7700X and 32GB of Corsair 6000mt/s DDR5 memory. Once I got everything installed I pushed the power button and waited.....and waited.....and waited.....and waited. I thought something was wrong since I had no video image for almost 4 minutes and the computer restarted itself 6 times. Getting ready to power off the whole system thinking something was wrong, the last restart gave me an image on the screen and it loaded into BIOS. Fast forward about an hour I got Windows all up to date then I updated the BIOS to the current non-beta revision using the BIOS flashback function. I didn't feel comfortable updating BIOS within the BIOS since ASRock needs you do to a workaround to get a video image on a RTX 40 series card (I have a 4070ti super). Everything is working fine at this time with no issues. I have not experienced the extended load times into Windows like some people have. I load into Windows in about 6 seconds. All in all, I recommend this board to anyone wanting to do an AM5 mini ITX build.

This is my second AsRock B650. The value is great. I've installed them in two different Fractal Design cases and I've not had a single installation issue. Boot times are fast, BIOS software is easy to undervolt CPU with. I've never had a Wi-Fi connection issue and it has all the features needed, except another M2 slot would be nice but with the space limits of the board, it's understandable. I will say that the second M2 slot is on the back so you will need a heat sink if you want to use it.

Six cores and 12 threads is nothing crazy by today standards but this processor is extremely snappy and capable can actually hold its own for a budget gaming rig if you throw a midrange GPU on here but for a productivity machine couldn’t ask for more and as rock boards have always been solid Budget friendly alternatives to Acis when I can’t afford an ROG strix board, which is what I put in most of my own builds. I also have the Asrock b850i but I put my 7800x3d in the strix and popped my slightly less gamer-friendly 7700x and put that in the Asrock board. My one rules when buying motherboards today, if it uses a cheap sheet metal IO shield I avoid it. Only buy motherboards with a custom permanent shield for that board. Otherwise your build looks cheap. For a $200 board this one doesn’t look or feel cheap at all. If you were so inclined, you could probably overclock the hell out of this processor, but if anything I would make it run more efficiently by undergoing it or something but none of that’s necessary. This trip runs extra cool. I also did a sweet all white building for her…..

I ordered this part and when it arrived the first red flag was it only came with 3 screws that didn’t fit. The second red flag was after my pc was built it kept shutting off due to random errors. Physically nothing was wrong with it, but mechanically something was really messed up, I don’t know if it was just the one I received but I’d be careful when buying this product.

good performance out of the box with a ryzen 7800X3D and DDR5 - 6000MT/s CL30, it gets the absolute from the cpu at low temps, supports two nvme ssd, and plenty of usb ports, wifi6e performs decent, updated the bios to the latest may 2025 version everithing ok.
