GIGABYTE A320M-S2H Overclock

Hi guys. So I have a small problem with OC. First, my setup:

[MOBO] GIGABYTE A320M-S2H-CF (Bios F22b)

[CPU] AMD Ryzen 5 1500X

[CPU Cooler] AMD Ryzen Wraith Spire

[RAM] Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 CMK16GX4M2B3000C15

[GPU] Zotac GTX 980TI Amp Omega

[Case] Coolermaster Silencio 352 Matt Black micro-ATX Mini Tower Silent Case

[Fans] 3x Corsair SP120mm

 

So, I tried to OC it (3.8 CPU and 2933 RAM) and since it was stable, everything was fine, but I got CPU temps which were way too high (89, 93*C). So I changed it back to 3.6 and after playing Witcher 3 for an hour I reached 90*C. I checked it with HWinfo64 and NZXT Cam Software. 

 

So, my problem is:

1) Way too high temps,

2) GPU has Coil Whining, so it needs to be in silent case.

 

Solutions:

1) New case?

2) New CPU Cooler?

 

Which one you suggest? I want small case so it won't take a lot of space, so I am happy with the one that I have now, but on the other hand, I'm worried that GPU might heat it up. But, If I buy like 120mm AIO, will it really help? And how much? Anyone faced the same problem?

Thanks!

I know you can overclock memory on A320 chipset, but how can you overclock the CPU? This chipset doesnt support it.

lower the voltage as much as possible, as long as it doesnt crash in stress tests.

If lowering voltage doesnt help, yes. Wraith Spire is still a weak cooler

Well, it actually allows me to OC. Bios had this option since I remember, and it was working great. How low would you recommend to lower it? Never played with voltage, so I have no idea where to start.

For anyone bumping into this thread a few years later, the GA-A320M-S2H V2, Is overclockable as it includes a B350, not a A320.
