Hey, I see. You're using an R7 2700X with an A320, which isn't ideal for boosting clocks. You're wondering if you need to modify your setup to enable single-core boost clocks, since the A320 doesn't support them natively and you're not aiming for overclocking.

It seems the A320 chipset board isn't suited for handling the 2700X turbo boost because of poor power phasing and VRM design. The voltage standards are also too lenient, which could significantly shorten its lifespan if a CPU of that power were used.

It appears this system has a safety feature on the A320. The board isn't built to handle that processor speed or voltage increase. Pushing it that hard would likely damage the VRM.
