AMD still must let us overclock in such low budget mainboards some countries like me struggle to buy them (it was a mistake buying A320 though i should have been bought B350 (b450s are kinda expensive)
You all people say its unstable but A320s let Athlon processors to overclock but ryzens are locked.. Which explains why its a firmware limit
I wouldnt want to mess up my computer but gpu prices are 100 times more expensive here some of the modern latest cards are a low end cars price our last chance is to change government or we ll done
I really don't think you lose much by not being able to overclock on A320. AMD has found a way to push the Zen architecture as hard as the silicon allows without it. Even with an ultra-high end motherboard it doesn't really help much, if at all.
For a 3400G APU, though, even A320 boards do allow overclocking the iGPU which does a lot more for gaming performance. The same is true for memory as faster memory helps the iGPU for gaming. A320 boards are ideal when economy is a prime factor in the buy decision and gaming is the use case.
One other thing that can help more than you might think is cooling, the processor especially but also case ventilation. All Ryzens are very temperature sensitive in that they keep boosting aggressively right up to a certain temperature for any given processing load. Better cooling is like overclocking in that it just performs better even though the temperature doesn't show it. So if you can scrape and save for anything it would be better cooling and case fans first.
