Yes, you can swap in a VRM heatsink or install a dedicated VRM fan to improve cooling.

I'll change to b450m s2h. It's better because it offers higher speed and more consistent performance.
It depends on the extent of the overclock and your system's stability. A mild adjustment might work, but monitor temperatures and performance closely.
Enabling PBO would make a big difference compared to doing it manually. I can't do that since APUs don't support PBO. You have a 2200G model.
It’s best to avoid the DS3H for overclocking attempts. Without static voltage options, you’re limited to auto voltage with offsets. The VRM also performs poorly under high loads unless paired with a strong downwind cooler.
You should consider these choices: ASRock B450[M]-Pro4[-F], B450M-S2H, B450M-Gaming MSI, and B450M PRO-M2 Max. Since you mentioned you won't overclock much, the focus is on stability and performance for casual use rather than high gains. It seems like a good starting point for your needs.
Oh no, I looked. The B450m Pro4 on Amazon (where I can buy it) dropped from $65 to $82 last time I checked. With tax and shipping, it comes to $140 in my country. Probably not on the available list anymore.
