Can the Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G be Overclocked?

I have a pc with Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G and I need to increase the clock speed to 3.8 GHZ I have a Chinese motherboard (TA-320SA) and this stupid one does not allow overclocking from the Bios, I tried with Ryzen Master but when altering the values it does not happen nothing also with this program I tried to change the graphics frequency from 1100MHZ to 1200Mhz but again nothing happens after reboot.

HELP! Sorry for my English by the way

According to AMD Specs on your APU that processor is LOCKED: https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-3-pro-2200g

But the same NON-PRO version is Unlocked and can easily be overclocked:

According to this tech article about Locked and Unlocked Processors: https://www.gamingscan.com/locked-vs-unlocked-cpu/

Can You Unlock A Locked CPU?

The next question that some will ask themselves is: can you unlock and overclock a locked CPU?

Well, it’s impossible to unlock a locked CPU as this is a physical process that takes place during the manufacturing process itself, meaning that a locked CPU doesn’t simply have some software limitation imposed on it that can be circumvented with the help of a certain program or utility.

Locked CPUs can, however, be overclocked by adjusting their base clock speed, and this is referred to as BCLK overclocking.

The way BCLK overclocking works is that it increases the CPU’s power limit, which in turn boosts its base clock speed. However, this overclocking method has some major drawbacks: it increases the amount of heat generated by the CPU, can lead to unstable performance, and the overall performance boost wouldn’t be as good as it would be with an unlocked CPU.

Found this YouTube that shows how to BCLK Overclock on Ryzen 3000 Processor on a Asus Motherboard BIOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_h9KN6fW04
