1600x O/C question
The issue is reaching 4GHz. I can run at 3.9GHz with stable performance, but at 4GHz it drops and crashes. A comment on hardwarecanucks mentioned CPU over temp protection could be an issue, especially since Ryzen handles about 20°C higher. Is this typical? Or could the CPU overheating be causing the crashes? I don’t know how to disable it on my motherboard, so I haven’t tried.
Capture some screenshots of your BIOS settings. It's unclear if you have any LLC configurations in your BIOS, especially with the B350 chipset, but having them might assist in improving stability. Increasing LLC could help prevent vdroop and maintain 4.0 performance. You might also explore pstates overclocking or adjusting bclk to raise core clock speeds.
Additionally, consider that your motherboard could run an outdated BIOS version, which may impact system reliability. It would be wise to verify this.
It seems you reached the maximum speed of your chip, which is quite typical. Ryzen processors often stop at around 3.9 GHz instead of 4.0. That's perfectly normal.
It seems like you reached the maximum limit of your chip, which is quite typical for Ryzen processors—often hitting around 3.9 GHz instead of 4.0. That's perfectly normal.

This could help maintain stability at 4.0. You might also explore pstates overclocking or adjusting the bclk to raise core clock speeds slightly.
Additionally, consider that your motherboard could run an older BIOS version, which may impact system stability. It would be wise to verify this.
