A320M-HDV R4.0 changing GFX Frequency does nothing

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello there,

I've recently create PC based on Asrock A320M-HDV R 4.0 and AMD Athlon 3000G. Since it's lacking GPU it would be nice to be able to overclock igpu frequency. Sadly the BIOS options which supposed to do so, seems to have no impact on frequency after boot. I've tried several combinations of both parameters (voltage and frequency), but in Windows they stay at default values (confirmed by performance in benchmarks and also by few monitoring applications). Obviously Vega 3 isn't supported by any know to me overclocking software. 

I'm running P 3.70 BIOS (as far as I know the newest). Overclocking DDR works perfectly fine. Any suggestions?

	does it reboot just fine after saving settings? .. and when you go back into the BIOS, are your GFX settings saved? If it's saying settings are applied but they are not actually applied .. you could try flashing the 2.30 BIOS and see if it actually applies your oc settings ..

	I've just tried all 3 supported bios versions (2.3, 3.3 and again 3.7). Sadly they all behave identically - I change frequency and/or voltage for GFX, save changes by pressing F10 and after reboot they stay changed in BIOS, but in Windows there is no performance gain nor visual change in frequency. To verify changes I'm using MSI Afterburner + OSD form RivaTuner Statistic Server and (to confirm) also GPU-Z. Both are reporting default 1100 MHz. To check performance In using Time Spy Benchmark and results are in measurement error range. Thanks for suggestion, though! Any help is appreciated.

	Although, while downloading older BIOSes I've encountered such a description for P2.3: "Following AMD SPEC to remove BIOS OC option." I've assumed that it refers to CPU OC option, but may it be reason for my problems? If so, why ASRock left those (kinda misleading) options in BIOS? So confused :D

	can you just do the overclock inside windows using the 'ryzen master ' you can do the cpu so why not the gpu ? edit yes you can https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/ryzen-master so do it using ryzen master

	Sadly you are probably out of luck. It's not uncommon for more budget parts to be locked down so far as overclocking. Your best bet is to overclock the RAM as far as you can and make the most of it. I am not sure if the A320 chipset is locked out of ryzen master or not but it's possible. AMD want people to buy higher tier boards, they make little to nothing on the lowest tier chipsets. If you could squeeze more performance out of them and match the next tier in performance they would make the next tier redundant. Bottom line reasoning I'm afraid, it makes sense, they are running a business. To be clear, any such restriction would come from AMD, not ASRock. ASRock are contractually bound to uphold AMD's requirements and limitations. With weaker APUs the best option is to use FSR (in supported games) or lower your resolution. Find what looks and plays best for you. Make sure you have 2 RAM modules so you are running dual channel. You will lose more performance from that than anything else.
