XFR on A320

[MegaVoltz]

The title. Does XFR (on the 1500X) work with AM4 A320 chipset motherboards? I haven't found a good answer so far.

I was going to buy the R5 1400 which is $20 less than the 1500X, but would it be a good idea to buy the 1500X for $20 more and buy an A320 motherboard for it for $20 less so essentially the same price overall, but better performance on the CPU if XFR is supported. I heard Ryzen is pretty much hitting a wall past 4GHz anyway, so should I just buy the 1500X and an A320 motherboard and be happy with it? (if XFR is supported)

 

Thanks guys!

It should work, but you can't overclock.

It will work but it is best to get a 1400 and a b350 board and overclock it.

Well I'm not going to buy an aftermarket cooler, plus the XFR will auto-overclock the 1500X to 3.9GHz without me having to touch anything. The 1400 can't run out of the box at 3.9GHz and can't overclock that high on the Wraith Stealth cooler.

Thanks! I know I can't overclock, but would it be a good idea in general?

I don't think it would be the best option but it would be good nevertheless.

Thanks! I will go ahead and do that.
