ASRock BIOS Setting

[durch05]

First off, I apologize. I'm learning how to get around in here. I asked the question and got an answer about why there is no option to change the cpu voltage in BIOS with the A320M-HDV motherboard.. The other question is. Why does it have OC Tweak option if I can't overclock the cpu. Sorry, I'm super green. Thanks.

The OC Tweak page in your BIOS all relates to memory speed. If you look at the board specification is supports the standard memory speeds and a pair of OC (overclocked) speeds. Some DIMMs will require you goose the voltage up a bit to get the higher speeds, so the motherboard supports that. It does not support overclocking the CPU through BIOS. I may allow for overclocking of the CPU through the A-Tuning app (I can't be sure of it without trying it).

But be sure to have decent memory to go with it, if you play with the settings and it becomes unstable perhaps you need faster memory.

I would be less concerned about getting faster memory and more concerned about getting compatible memory. I know by experience. With my first Ryzen build I bought Corsair Vengeance. A couple builds later, I grabbed another pair of Corsair Vengeance because they had worked fine before. Unfortunately, the part number was one letter different than the first set I bought (used chips from a different supplier) and that RAM would cause my computer to blue screen every 10 minutes. When getting RAM for you system, double and triple check that the part number of the RAM you are buying is on the compatible list.

Hey thanks for all the replies. I purchased a cheap PC thinking I would upgrade slowly not doing any research on the motherboard.. Now I've already installed 16GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws and ASUS RX 570 Graphics card and was planning on a RYZEN 5 or 7 later. Now I wish I would have just done a complete build because now I want a new mother board.... So what I got for the money was a really cool RGB PC case. Hope I can sell the 8Gigs of generic RAM and maybe the motherboard..Or just play around with it for awhile. Thanks.

Oh and by the way.. No problems at all with the RAM I installed but I also had to replace the Power supply because the one that was in it wouldn't run the RX 570.
