I have an Asus Strix B450-F motherboard with a Ryzen 3600 processor. The system experiences random lockups and occasional restarts, especially when using QEMU/KVM or Prime95 tests. It works well during gaming in Arch Linux. Setting the CPU to 1.32v @ 4.1 with extreme load line appears to resolve the issues and reduces restarts. Power supply is an Antec HCP-1200 1200W, which functions properly with Crosshair VI Hero. Memory includes Corsair Vengence RGB Pro 2x16GB (passed memtest). I’m wondering if this setup is hitting the board’s limits or if others face similar problems.

It might just be a silicon lottery; the CPU won’t progress any further. Perhaps attempt @4.0 instead.

Checking performance at 1.32 volts for a 4.1GHz processor. You're currently using 4.1 and 1.42V.

Everything functions smoothly at Auto, including securing it at 3.8 1.4v. After a heavy load, the system resets shortly.

Maybe the core voltage is too low, what are your temperatures?

Performance peaks around 70°C under heavy load, as reported by Asus WMI. Higher voltage doesn’t change the restart behavior. Adjusting everything to Extreme mode in the BIOS power settings appears to be the key factor.

I’d aim for 1.45, but if it doesn’t work then it’s likely the CPU can’t take more overclocking or the motherboard isn’t up to the task. I’m using the same motherboard, so I’ll note the highest settings it handled before issues started.

I didn't think running at 1.42v would be possible. My other setup handles 4.2ghz at 1.32v smoothly too. I could change the CPU between systems to test if it's the hardware issue, but it seems like a hassle. I planned to look this up before swapping parts or getting a new board. Also, I'm not aiming for overclocking; it just feels unstable when everything is set to Auto Defaults, only under specific conditions. The system doesn't panic, but Auto mode causes lockups and restarts, adjusting voltage to keep things at 1.32v with maximum settings, which stops the crashes and reduces restarts.

The mine on auto stock usually stays near 1.4 to 1.45v, which is standard. Consider raising the voltage. They’re secure up to that level.

He is operating at a 3600, not a 2600.
