Hello guys. Gonna need your help.

Overclocking amd a4-5300 apu with radeon(tm) hd graphics.
2 4gb ddr3 ram.
Do i need liquid cooler?

And if i overclock my apu should i remove my graphic card amd radeon hp6570?

And i need to find better power supply. Mine is kinda old and old.
Btw im poor right now hehe.

And last. If there is a better idea guys please tell me.
I kinda hope to play nier super minimum graphics with smooth gameplay.

Thanks for the answers

Please list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
Chassis:
OS:

Might I ask why you're overclocking(or at least planning to)? The platform would likely be better used if you got a higher end APU in your system and got rid of your dedicated GPU. I'm assuming you're on a FM2 socket board..?

Are you talking about Nier Super or Automata?
If Automata,

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7 /8.1 /10 64bit
Processor: Intel Core i3 2100 or AMD A8-6500
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 VRAM 2GB or AMD Radeon R9 270X VRAM 2GB
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 50 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX® 11 supported
Additional Notes: Mouse, keyboard and game pad (XInput only). Screen resolution: 1280x720. This product only supports MS-IME keyboard input. There is a possibility that other IME will not function correctly with it.

RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 8.1 /10 64bit
Processor: Intel Core i5 4670 or AMD A10-7850K
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 VRAM 4GB or AMD Radeon R9 380X VRAM 4GB
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 50 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX® 11 supported
Additional Notes: Mouse, keyboard and game pad (XInput only). Screen resolution: 1920x1080. Depending on the monitor and PC graphics card environment and setup used, this title can expand its display resolution to 4K. However, please be aware that 4K resolutions are not officially supported. This product only supports MS-IME keyboard input. There is a possibility that other IME will not function correctly with it.

Here's what I think.

Don't OC the graphics portion of your APU. In fact, disable it entirely. This will give the CPU portion of your APU all the core voltage and memory bandwidth/capacity. When you get a better PSU, OC the GPU. I don't think A4 apu's can overclock the cpu portion, which is probably what's holding you back.

Back when I built a PC for $200~ish with an A6-5400k and an R7 240, I found that my best performance was achieved by disabling AMD's dual graphics, outright disabling the apu graphics, and overclocking each component separately. Side story: funny enough, with an AIO strapped to that poor old dinky Asus R7 240 and another AIO strapped to the poor old dinky A6-5400k, I managed to push the GPU core clocks in excess of 1.1ghz and the apu to 4.6ghz, enough to nearly double my unigine heaven framerates and firestrike score.

I don't think nier is super cpu-heavy, but I don't know if an old HD6570 would be up to the task anymore. Actually, I worry your entire system isn't up to the task.

Uhm. Lutfij i kinda dont know the specs right now.
Im gonna tell you later. Thanks

Hmm im kinda confused how and what to do guys.
Like what to overclock cause i dont know what is holding back.
Right now i think my amd a4-5300 is acting as cpu and my hp6570 as gpu. So what should i do to make my gameplay goes smoother.
