Hello, I've been trying to overclock my Ryzen 5 2600 for several months now. Even after watching many videos and tutorials, I still couldn't achieve the desired results. I used Ryzen Master and Cinebench to monitor values, temperatures, and voltages, but after applying the OC settings, the system asks me to reboot before the changes take effect. Once it restarts, everything seems normal, though some Cinebench tests show worse performance compared to when it was running stock. The stock auto-clock gives higher values. BIOS overclocking is really confusing for me, and I haven't found a clear method for my specific motherboard (Asus EX A320 Gaming). I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this issue.

Using dram calculator and adjusting RAM timings can improve performance without overclocking. Clocktuner2 might also help; manually set nominal speeds but it adjusts voltages, reducing temperatures. This benefits Ryzen by keeping more cores at maximum turbo.

the a320 motherboard doesn't support overclocking.

Thank you, it seems everything is now understood. Would you like me to update it for a 350 or 450?
