[SOLVED] A320m-k overclocking

[Nonkii]

I have the Asus Prime A320M-K motherboard and it does not have overclocking for cpu. Should I use amd ryzen master to overclock it?

No. There's a reason why the A320 series was set as the only non-OC boards, trying to bypass that will only make things worse.

Oh ok. Thanks

I think you can overclock using ai suite from within windows, unless they've disabled that for a320 recently.

I will check later. But what @Karadjgne said is true. It could harm the system/any component since I am trying to bypass something that isn't allowed in the motherboard.😉

The A320 is the lowest of the low grade boards, never intended for heavy usage such as gaming. It's VRM's and other componentry are built to handle standard usage, standard power draws etc. It was never intended or designed for OC usage, that's what the B and X series boards are for. While I'm sure it would probably be ok, that's still no guarantee, so in all fairness anyone who says for sure, absolutely yes you can, is doing nothing but gambling with your money.

For the small amount of performance gains you might get, the cost could be a lot higher than originally planned. Better to be safe than sorry.

Yup. Thank you.
