I’m curious about the maximum power the Athlon 3000g can use with your setup. Your current gear includes an MSI A320M-A PRO MAX motherboard, an AMD Athlon 3000g processor, 8GB RAM at 2666MHz, and a 550W SENTEY 80 Plus Platinum PSU.

I question the board's capacity to exceed 65 watts. The chip could handle significantly more with a superior motherboard and enhanced cooling solutions.

Using a bare VRM yields limited performance. However, active cooling has produced solid gains on a dual-core setup. Do you have a powerful downdraft cooler, or are you considering attaching smaller heat sinks to the board?

The board supports up to 65 watts. Adding another RAM stick would significantly boost performance in dual-channel mode. Avoid using the 550-watt PSU labeled "bronze" as it's a poor choice.

I possess a reasonably effective heat sink that works well with modern processors, making it easy to use.

The power source is platinum, yet it seems less demanding because only around 180W to 360W are consumed.

I'm discussing how to lower the temperature of the motherboard's power supply unit. Because the CPU gets power from a simple VRM, it could benefit from extra cooling to achieve better performance settings. This improvement might not significantly change overall results.
