I'm going to build a new computer, and ran into such a question.
The processor (R7 3700x) has a maximum frequency of 3200, and the question is ... will it support a higher frequency? Let's say 3400, etc.?
And right away a similar question about the motherboard. The choice fell on the Gigabyte X470 AORUS Gaming Ultra AM4,

but later noticed one feature, it has a 4xDDR4 limit of 2933 MHz. Will it support higher frequencies, at least 3200?

No.

You asked if it would "support" not if it might work. Overclocking has from my experience been hit or miss but no maker supports it.

This means you try it and hope.
