Need assistance with boosting your ASRock AB350M's performance?
I currently own a fully configured PC that’s been running slowly for about three months. I’m considering an overclock and am ready to try any new software or tools I might need. My existing gear includes the EVGA Precision XOC and EVGA OC Scanner, which are specifically designed for EVGA systems.
Here are my current specifications:
Motherboard: ASRock AB350M-HDV
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 (2x4GB)
GPU: EVGA GTX 1050 (2GB GDDR5)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 1200 4-core @ 3.1 GHz
HDD: WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM
Power Supply: Corsair CX Series 550W 80+ Bronze
Monitor: ASUS VS247H Full HD 1920x1080
To maximize performance, I plan to fine-tune every setting possible—focusing on DRAM timing and stability. I’m unsure what adjustments are safe for my build, so I’ll need guidance on the best configurations.

I’m aiming to fine-tune everything possible to push performance to its limit, focusing especially on DRAM timing. I just don’t know what else to do...
I currently own a pre-built PC that’s been running slowly for about three months. I’m considering an overclock and am looking into any new software or tools I might need. I already have the EVGA Precision XOC and EVGA OC Scanner, which are specifically designed for EVGA systems.

Two points:
1. My motherboard isn’t built for overclocking, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
2. The biggest improvements will come from switching to an SSD as the OS drive and using the HDD for extra storage. Any SSD should boost OS speed by 2.5 to 3 times compared to the current HDD performance.
Also, if you’re still experiencing slowness after three months, check that your HDD isn’t full—over 80% usage can cause significant slowdowns. You can also defragment the HDD and remove unnecessary antivirus software. Programs like Norton and McAfee are particularly resource-heavy. For free protection, consider Windows Defender with Malwarebytes.
