Asrock A320M-DGS CPU Overclock

[nicola.faraone92]

Can Asrock release an update introducing the possibility of a possible CPU overclock, also limited, on this motherboard (A320M-DGS) ? Although it is not officially supported by AMD, the chipset in question (A320M) technically allows the overclocking of processors like ryzen, the other competing brands “Asus” and “MSi” have already introduced the possibility of overclocking their motherboards a320m. I hope that asrock will line up and allow an CPU overclocked update in its motherboard even if limited.

Hardly possible, they wouldn't want their rock bottom (price wise) MB to interfere with higher priced models. B series MBs are not that much higher priced.

Asrock answered this afternoon through their channel of the official facebook page :
"Grazie per la sua richiesta. ASRock è al lavoro per rilasciare questi nuovi aggiornamenti. Saluti."

I wrote them in English but they answered me in my mother tongue (maybe because my facebook account is italian ?)
The english translation of the answer is this :
"Thanks for your request. ASRock is at work to release these new updates. Greetings."

I dont think any brand can release a bios that supports overclock with 320 chipset, maybe I'm wrong.
Anyways, even if they do, the motherboards probably they dont have enough vRMs to do so.

All it takes is microcode unlocking the bios to allow for OC, since the bios is already set for OC, just restricted. Basically the same bios on most models, some are just more invasive than others. So OC isn't the issue.
The motherboard itself is. While most mobo's are built with redundancies in place, the low end budget boards are minimalistic when it comes to the little things. Like heatsinking on the VRM's and other voltage regulatory circuitry. The board itself isn't built for OC, unlike the more expensive models.
So just be aware that even if ASRock unlocks the bios, the temptation to jump on the OC bandwagon can have dire results to mobo longevity and stability.
