Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

The GIGABYTE A520M DS3H AC is a Micro ATX motherboard designed for Socket AM4 systems and compatible with AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors. Based on the AMD A520 chipset, it supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory across four DIMM slots and provides a balanced set of connectivity options including PCIe 3.0 M.2 storage, Gigabit Ethernet and integrated Wi‑Fi 5 for versatile desktop builds.

Advantages

This motherboard offers a reliable 5+3 phase VRM design for stable power delivery to AM4 CPUs, multiple expansion slots with one PCIe x16 and two PCIe x1 (Gen 3.x) slots, and an M.2 slot supporting PCIe 3.0 storage for faster boot and load times. With four memory slots supporting DDR4 up to 128 GB and built‑in Wi‑Fi 5 and Gigabit Ethernet, it balances performance and connectivity in a compact Micro ATX form factor.

Suitable for

  • Home and office PCs
  • Budget to mid-range gaming builds with AM4 Ryzen CPUs
  • Content creation systems requiring multiple memory channels and M.2 storage
  • Compact Micro ATX builds with wireless connectivity

Key specifications

  • Form factor: Micro ATX
  • Chipset: AMD A520
  • Processor socket: Socket AM4 (supports AMD Ryzen 5000 Series)
  • Memory: 4× DDR4 DIMM slots, up to 128 GB
  • PCI Express: 1× PCIe x16 (Gen 3.x), 2× PCIe x1 (Gen 3.x)
  • Storage: PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot
  • Networking: Gigabit Ethernet and integrated Wi‑Fi 5
  • VRM: 5+3 phase power design
  • Weight: 0.72 kg

How to use

Install the motherboard into a compatible Micro ATX case, mount an AM4 processor and apply appropriate cooling, populate DDR4 memory modules in the recommended slot configuration, and connect storage devices including M.2 SSDs and SATA drives. Attach power supply connectors (24‑pin ATX and CPU 8‑pin as required), install a compatible graphics card into the PCIe x16 slot if needed, and connect front panel and peripheral cables. After assembly, configure BIOS settings for memory and storage and install the operating system and drivers.

Recommendations

For best stability, use quality DDR4 modules tested for compatibility with AM4 platforms, ensure adequate CPU cooling for Ryzen processors, and update the BIOS to the latest version before system deployment. Choose a power supply with sufficient wattage and stable rails to support the CPU and any discrete GPU installed.
