I'm assisting a friend in setting up a gaming rig with an ASRock AB350M motherboard. Despite what seems to be the case, it appears to only support a 3+3 VRM setup. Is this enough for a solid overclock on a 2200G? Here are the other components listed:

The single channel RAM will significantly slow things down, but you can still upgrade the CPU.

his cpu is weak and doesn't fully utilize the dual-channel setup. For your motherboard, there are 9 phases: 6 dedicated to the cpu, 2 for the soc, and 1 for the ram.

The YouTube video displays an Intel CPU, but your Ryzen model relies more on the RAM.

Another video exists that covers Ryzen installation and varying RAM speeds for Sc/Doc settings.

The CPU in this board is quite weak and doesn't fully utilize dual-channel capabilities. The motherboard features a 9-phase VRM setup: 6 phases for the CPU, 2 for the SOC, and 1 for RAM. It does have a 3-phase CPU VRM, though it's described as a rather basic implementation. Two phases activate simultaneously instead of individually. This means it functions as a 3-phase CPU with a 3-phase SOC and a single-phase DRAM configuration. A video explanation is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzRG_LjUl8Q

The Ryzen 1st gen relies heavily on RAM speed compared to the 2nd gen. The 2666 model offers the best overall value for its cost.

I really enjoy mine ds/dr at 3333mhz, they provide higher fps during games compared to single rank.

Ah, it hadn't occured to me that intel and AMD might differ on the single channel / dual channel question.
cookiemania66 :
Nah that Board does have a 3 Phase CPU VRM. Yes is it a doubled 3 Phase but a really dumb one.
If i remember it right then 2 phases turn on together instead of one at a time.
So it actually is a 3 Phase CPU, 3 Phase SOC and 1 Phase Dram Design.
Here is a little Breakdown of the VRM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzRG_LjUl8Q
Yeah that's the video that I saw. Do you think it will be a problem for overclocking a 2200G? The impression I've got is that it's the higher end CPUs (especially those with 6+ cores) that run into problems more so than the budget range.
