Hi all, so I just got this new ryzen 3 1300x and I saw a lot of different threads saying you cant overclock it with a A320M motherboard, so if I get a MSI B350M PRO-VD PLUS or an ASROCK B350M-HDV is it possible to overclock then? I heard that u need at least a B350 mobo for overclocking

Solution
Yes, that is correct. You need a b350 or x370 board to overclock the Ryzen CPU. The a320 boards lack that feature.

Edit: between those two boards, the MSI board is recommended for its quad RAM slots and better audio codec.
