How to overclock Ryzen 5 1600x?
This is my PC build details
AMD Ryzen R5 1600X
GTX 1070
Cooler Master V650
ASRock AB350 Gaming K4
Corsair Vengeance (4x8gb) 32GB 3000Mhz DDR4 kit
Samsung 850 EVO SSD
ID-Cooling Frostflow 240L
How to overclock?
I attempted overclocking in BIOS
4.0 ghz at 1.4 voltage / 1.45 voltage (screen went black)
3.9 ghz at 1.4 voltage (screen went black)
but in AMD Ryzen Master I can reach 3.9ghz at 1.375 voltage.
Am I doing it right? Or am I missing something?
P.S.: My BIOS is updated to the latest version P2.50.

I understand it’s for the X370 Taichi, but the BIOS settings will usually match your board, just with fewer options on your hardware—you can adjust what needs changing in the video.
39 multiplier on the asrock doesn't work – use 3875 to post.
After Windows loads, adjust to 3900.
Once it starts, set Vcore below the 1.45v recommended by AMD.
For my ASRock, the Vcore should be set to .04375.
My CPU won't handle anything above 1.4 during manual overclock, so I'll set it at 3875.
The Ryzen tool can go higher but the offset is flipped – it would be 1.4v plus an offset.
If you don’t post, after a full power-off, wait 5 seconds before turning it back on and resetting.

multiplier on the asrock doesn't show up! use 3875 to post,
after windows loads you can adjust to 3900
🙂
and any vcore below what amd specifies 1.45v
for my asrock the vcore setting is .04375
so my CPU struggles with more than 1.4 in manual overclock
thus for posting it set it at 3875
ryzen tool tends to go higher but the offset is flipped,
it would be 1.4v plus offset
also if you don't post, after a full power off, turn it back on and hold for 5 seconds to post

Each CPU behaves differently. What fails on yours might work on another and bypass easily. Also, with air cooling, it's best to keep below 1.4v. AMD mentioned 1.45v with "adequate cooling". Air, isn't it?

for my asrock the vcore set is .04375
so my crapy cpu doesn't like anything more than 1.4 in manual overclock
thus setting it at 1.4v - ofsset at 3875
ryzen tool goes higher but offset is reversed, it would be 1.4v + offset
also if you don't post, after a full power off, turn it back on hold reset for 5secs to post

Every CPU is different. What yours fails at, another may succeed and bypass easily. Also, on air cooling, it's wise to keep below 1.4v. AMD mentioned 1.45v with "sufficient cooling". Air, isn't it?
Yeah, I'm using air cooling, it's just a 100watt cpu, I think the bios is the issue for odd behavior
I don't think CPU or motherboard are at fault for such problems.
Wifiburger shared some tips:
Use a multiplier of 3875 instead of 3900 after Windows loads.
If Vcore is below AMD’s recommendation of 1.45v, set it to 1.4v.
For manual overclock, the CPU should run at 1.4v with an offset of 3875.
After turning off completely, hold for 5 seconds before posting.
Air cooling is fine, but keep Vcore under 1.4v.
Some CPUs handle higher voltages better, but it depends on the model.
The advice is to check your specific CPU’s limits and adjust accordingly.
