Maxsun CHALLENGER A620A 2.5G AM5 DDR5 Micro-ATX Motherboard
The Maxsun CHALLENGER A620A 2.5G AM5 DDR5 Micro-ATX Motherboard is an entry-level AM5 board built on the AMD A620 chipset for Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 Series processors, aimed at budget gaming PCs and modern office builds moving to DDR5. Its 2.5 Gigabit LAN, PCIe 4.0 graphics slot and PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot deliver current-generation connectivity without a large board or a large parts list.
Key Specifications

2.5 Gigabit Networking and a 6+2+1 Phase Power Design
The Challenger A620A's 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port is unusual at this level and suits homes and offices with faster local networks, while the 6+2+1 phase Dr.MOS power design keeps 105W AM5 processors fed steadily. A CLR_CMOS button on the board makes recovering from an unsuccessful overclocking attempt a one-press job.
- Choose a Ryzen 7000, 8000 or 9000 Series AM5 processor for the build
- Install dual-channel DDR5 memory across the two DIMM slots up to 96GB
- Fit a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in the M.2 slot for fast boot and game loading
- Install a graphics card in the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, or use VGA or HDMI from processor graphics
- Use the PCIe 3.0 x4 open slot for a 10Gb Ethernet card or another expansion card later
