I have G.SKILL Ripjaws F4-3200C14D-32GVR from my old PC. I plan to upgrade to 13700K and use the same memory. I want to overclock the CPU to ~ 5.5 GHz and I would like to do something with the memory. Is this board suitable for this purpose? Why do some people write that this board is not for overclocking? Because it's cheaper than other ASUS boards? Everything seems to be in order with the power supply (in extreme cases, I will put a weak fan to blow the left radiator). Is everything normal with the BIOS of this board? Or did ASUS pay little attention to the BIOS of this model, compared to other ASUS motherboards? All I need from the board is overclocking the CPU and memory. I don't need built-in sound, a lot of SATA ports and M.2 etc. Only one graphics card, PCIe sound card, 2 SATA, 1 M.2 and a few fan connectors.
Do I think correctly that this board has all the settings related to overclocking the CPU and memory, which in PDF document PRIME PROART TUF GAMING INTEL 700 Series BIOS Manual? - https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-z790-p-wifi-d4/helpdesk_manual...
Or, let's say, if I consider ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS D4 - what will I get in addition to what PRIME Z790-P D4 can give only in terms of overclocking?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello,
Generally speaking entry level boards will be less capable for memory overclocking due to pcb layers (more impedance etc). Remember the Prime range isn't an ROG product. Does AI OC not interest you? Use the compare tool on the website to consider what features you’re willing to forgo.
