Are ASRock A520M-HVS or MSI A520M-A PRO mainboards compatible out of the box?

Hi.
I want to set up a PVE server with spare parts that I have lying around. The only thing I need is a cheap AM4 board. Can anyone confirm if these boards are immediately compatible? E.g. without having to configure or compile additional network drivers etc. (Both have RTL8111H - so I guess the r8169 driver should do it).

A520M-PRO
ASRock A520M-HVS

Thanks
Alex

I'm pretty sure that they both will work just fine. If you notice some incompatibilities after the installation, you can also upgrade to kernel 6.2 for better hardware compatibility. But since these boards have been around for a while, I am assume that they will work just fine

Hope this helps.
