ok so, is my motherboard capable of overclocking?

[spirals]

I have both Ryzen 3 2200g, and my x370M Pro4 here, I wanted to overclock to maybe 4.0ghz? Idk, but I need some information about it 

 

 

Any advice would be appreciated

You can overclock on that board, but you reaching 4ghz is entirely dependent on how good the chip is and if the motherboards VRM can do it (the chip is by chance, im not sure on the board, ryzen master will let you know if its the mobo holding back the OC). Fast RAM benefits Ryzen, what are the specs on the RAM you are running? I saw around 10-15% gains overclocking my Ryzen 2600X, but with RAM overclocking as well I gained around 25% more performance in total with tuning my RAM's timing and clock rate and the CPU overclock.

the x370 pro4 has about the same vrms as the b450, so it should be able to overclock the cpu pretty well... but again, the chip has to want too

Do you have adequate cooling to push that?

If so, set a realistic voltage that you want to use 24/7 (personally I wouldn't use anything above 1.35v for daily use), and keep lowering frequency from 4.0GHz until you are stable.

you'll only find out how high you can go by trying it, and it's usually a lot harder to kill a chip or board than you think. For example a lot of people can reach 5.2GHz on the 7700k under 1.4v, but I have to be at 1.46 to even reach 5.15. Sometimes you get a bad bin that makes it hard to get stability. I say go for it, worst case you still find an OC that is higher than boost and stable, best case maybe you get above just 4GHz. Good luck!

Uh.. Well I have my DeepCool Gammaxx 200t if that's ok?

My ram is a V-Gen Tsunami 8gb (2x4) 3000mhz

Should be fine.
