BIOS options for overclocking A515-43 (Aspire 5 2019)

Hello,

I just ordered the A515-43-R6WW and was wondering whether I could do any amount of overclocking to the CPU (multiplier, BCLK) which is a Ryzen 5 3500U, or if there's at least a way to lift the TDP limit from 15W to something like 35W (through BIOS or software).

I also want to know if I get the HyperX Impact 16GB kit (HX426S15IB2K2/16) whether it will actually run at its advertised 2666Mhz and CL15 timings, is there an option in the BIOS similar to Intel's XMP profiles?

If anyone owns the same laptop, I would really appreciate a screenshot of the advanced options in the BIOS.
Thanks.

Hi,
Your CPU supports up to 2400MHz speed, Acer also recommends 2400/2666Mhz modules but 2666MHz modules may start at either 2133 or 2400 and overclocks to 2666MHz, if the need arises,there's no option to change Advanced options in BIOS.

There's no way to force the memory to work at 2666Mhz even through software? What are these "Advanced options" exactly?

What I meant to say was, you can not change the memory speed under Advanced settings in BIOS.
