Good day Raziel, when there is a question about whether a particular hardware supports coreboot or not, the first thing you could do is to look through this page : https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards (no GA-MA790GP-DS4H there). If there is no entry for your motherboard at this page, next you could git clone the coreboot source code from http://review.coreboot.org/coreboot/ and do "make menuconfig" command in the directory with coreboot sources, then go to Mainboard , choose your Mainboard Vendor ( Gigabyte ) and then check if it is possible to select your mainboard model - no GA-MA790GP-DS4H also, but there are GA-MA785GM-US2H / GA-MA785GMT-UD2H / GA-MA78GM-US2H with a somewhat similar model number. Now, if you don't see your motherboard there, you may either to simply buy a motherboard from Supported Motherboards list, or - maybe try to port a coreboot to your motherboard, especially if its quite similar to the already-supported motherboard. E.g. check if those GA-MA785 motherboards have the same chipset as your GA-MA790. If your motherboard contains the components that are already supported by coreboot, your chances of getting coreboot on this motherboard are significantly increasing. Please look through this page for more info - https://www.coreboot.org/Motherboard_Porting_Guide - and ask if you need to clarify something. To overclock you probably need to dive deep into coreboot sources (luckily its in C not assembly) and maybe also check the OS overclocking tools such as turionpowercontrol for AMD CPUs which works under Linux.
