Question Can I overclock Crucial Ballistix CL15 3000MHz on MSI A320M PRO-VD PLUS ?

[Verthon]

Hello. Currently I'm using XMP profile @2930 MHz. I also recently updated my BIOS to newest version.
On the motherboard official site I found the product specification with column for DDR4 memory -> 1866/2133/2400/2667/2933(OC)/3200(OC) Mhz.
The question is if it's good idea to overclock it to @3200MHz in bios or leave it like this ? Thank you.

• MOBO: MSI A320M PRO-VD PLUS (MS-7B38)
• AMD RX 570
• RAM Crucial Ballistix CL15 3000MHz

Here is the ram support QVL list for your motherboard and processor:

I do not see your ram on the list.
Past that, only a very few kits seem capable of running at 3200 with your processor and motherboard.
I suppose you can try and see how you do.

Thanks, I've set it to 3200MHz I don't see any problems so far on Ubuntu. After the work I will test it in games on Windows10.

Try stressing with memtest86.
You download the test to a usb stick and boot.
You should be able to pass a full test with NO errors.
